[Election of 1864]: [New Jersey]: Congar, Horace NABAA

Circular from H.N. Congar. To the Union Citizens of Newark New Jersey: From My Transient Home in the Far East I Send Greeting to the Union Men of My Native City.caption title and beginning of text

1864ref. 3721N.p. but most likely Newark N.J. 1864. Good plus. Letterpress broadside printed in two columns 16.5 x 10 inches. Old folds small chip to top outer margin two tiny holes affecting just a few letters. A very rare Unionist broadside supporting the re-election of Abraham Lincoln in the critical presidential contest of 1864. The present broadside was authored in early June 1864 by New Jersey Republican Party stalwart Horace N. Congar an editor diplomat and politician who was at that time serving as U.S. consul to Hong Kong. In this rather stirring broadside which Congar writes from his position in Hong Kong he lauds "the thousands of earnest faithful men who are giving freely of their blood and treasure to the suppression of this infamous rebellion" and "the noble daring the undaunted courage and the determined valour of our brave soldiers of Freedom" and urges that "in November New Jersey will stand in the unbroken rank of States giving their verdict for the Party of Union." He also spends considerable space discussing the clear role of "the social moral and political evil" of slavery as the precipitating event of the Civil War. Congar writes that "the evil it has wrought was as natural as the poisoned breath of the Upas tree." Stated clearly Congar writes "I heartily rejoice at the destruction of slavery" and looks forward to the time when "I shall tread my native land with a newer life if within its boundless domain there shall not be heard the clanking chain or the cry of the suffering and the oppressed." "Horace Newton Congar 1817-1893 was a radical republican politician during the midnineteenth century and served on both the state and national levels. Mr. Congar had a great love for his party and hope for its success which is reflected in his writing . Horace Newton Congar was born in Newark on July 31 1817. He married Isabell Reeves and had two children; a daughter Ella and a son Horace Junior. Horace Congar taught school for a while and he studied law in his leisure time. He was admitted to the New Jersey State Bar in 1847 and later Cornelius Boice of Plainfield and Lewis Grove of Newark were his law partners. Congar was a friend of the abolitionist cause and he was one of the founders of the antislavery Free Soil Party in New Jersey. The party slogan 'Free Soil Free Speech Free Labor and Free Men' basically described the party platform. Congar later became a delegate from New Jersey to the Republican National Convention in 1848 which was held in Buffalo. He supported the nomination of Van Buren for president and Adams for vice-president" - New Jersey Historical Society. A rare and unusual Lincoln campaign broadside with just two physical copies in OCLC at AAS and Middlebury College. unknown books

Women's Political Union of New Jersey; Women's SuffrageABAA

Woman Suffrage Adele D. Perry and the Women's Political Union of New Jersey Campaign Network 1915

1915ref. 159691915. Perry Adele D. Typed letter signed 2 September 1915 documenting the practical coordination behind the Women's Political Union of New Jersey during the state's suffrage campaign. Addressed to Eleonore Raoul of Atlanta Georgia the letter concerns arrangements for Raoul's forthcoming visit and records the movement's reliance on interstate speakers campaign travel and newspaper publicity. Perry's references to a colleague "on a campaign tour across the state" and to the Newark Evening News as the state's leading daily paper show how the Union coordinated appearances and press attention during the months leading to New Jersey's 1915 suffrage referendum. Perry Adele D. Newark N.J. 2 September 1915. One page. 8 1/2 x 11 inches. Typed on elaborate cream stationery of the Women's Political Union of New Jersey with the organization's officers and advisory board members printed on the sheet and signed in full by Perry. Writing to Eleonore Raoul Perry discusses preparations for Raoul's visit and notes that "Mrs. Winkle has been out of town for the last few days on a campaign tour across the state." She also directs Raoul's attention to publicity writing "The best daily newspaper in our state is 'The Newark Evening News.'" The letter therefore preserves specific evidence of scheduling travel and press strategy within a state suffrage campaign. The correspondence dates only weeks before New Jersey voters considered a state constitutional amendment for woman suffrage in October 1915. Its printed organizational letterhead identifies the Union's leadership structure while the text records how activists brought outside participants into local campaigning and cultivated newspaper coverage. Creased once horizontally and twice vertically with two punch holes along the top edge not affecting the text and one very small stain near the Women's Political Union of New Jersey symbol in the upper left corner; very good condition. The letter documents the day to day campaign work connecting women suffrage organizers in New Jersey with activists beyond the state. unknown books
