186222179<p>"<i>We cannot escape history… In giving freedom to the slave we assure freedom to the free… We shall nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope of earth.</i>"</p><p>One month before signing the Emancipation Proclamation the president proposes colonization and his plan for compensated emancipation discusses foreign affairs reports on progress of the Pacific Railroad the war and finance. This rare "<i>Sentinel Extra</i>" broadsheet apparently unrecorded in OCLC has other news of the day on the verso including a fantastic article quoting General Meagher's reaction to the resignation of several officers after McClellan was removed.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Broadsheet <i>"Sentinel Extra"</i> place unknown ca. December 2 1862 9⅛ x 24 in. 2 pp.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Excerpt:</b></p><p>"<i>The suspension of specie payments by the banks… made large issues of United States notes unavoidable. In no other way could the payment of the troops and the satisfaction of other just demands be so economically or so well provided for… A return to specie payments however at the earliest period … should ever be kept in view. Fluctuations in the value of currency are always injurious… Convertibility prompt and certain convertibility into coin is generally acknowledged to be the best and surest safeguard against them; and it is extremely doubtful whether a circulation of United States notes payable in coin and sufficiently large for the wants of the people can be permanently usefully and safely maintained…</i></p><p><i>There is no line straight or crooked suitable for a national boundary upon which to divide…Among the friends of the Union there is great diversity of sentiment and of policy in regard to slavery and the African race amongst us… emancipation will be unsatisfactory to the advocates of perpetual slavery but the length of time 37 years in Lincoln's compensated emancipation proposal should greatly mitigate their dissatisfaction. The time spares both races from the evils of sudden derangement… while most of those whose habitual course of thought will be disturbed by the measure will have passed away before its consummation. They will never see it. Another class will hail the prospect of emancipation but will deprecate the length of time. They will feel that it gives too little to the now living slaves. But it really gives them much. It saves them from the vagrant destitution which must largely attend immediate emancipation in localities where their numbers are very great and it gives the inspiring assurance that their posterity shall be free forever… Let us ascertain the sum we have expended in the war since compensated emancipation was proposed last March and consider whether if that measure had been promptly accepted by even some of the slave States the same sum would not have done more to close the war than has been otherwise done…</i></p><p><i><b>Fellow-citizens we cannot escape history.</b> We of this Congress and this administration will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance or insignificance can spare one or another of us. <b>The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor to the latest generation. We say we are for the Union. The world will not forget that we say this. We know how to save the Union. The world knows we do know how to save it. We—even we here—hold the power and bear the responsibility. In giving freedom to the slave we assure freedom to the free—honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope of earth.</b></i>"</p><p><b>Additional Content Below Lincoln's State of the Union</b></p><p>Three news items cover the bottom half of the third column verso.</p><p>The first discusses the three top western cities as grain shippers Chicago Milwaukee and Toledo. The numerical measurements of the grain are counted in bushels. Chicago tallied a total export of <i>Wheat Corn Oats Rye and Barely</i> which amounted to <i>55526816</i> bushels. Milwaukee totaled <i>14869625</i> bushels. Toledo totaled <i>18667817</i> bushels.</p><p>The second re-prints news from <i>Liverpool Journal of Commerce</i> published on November 11th regarding the British government's adherence to neutrality policies.</p><p>The third reports on Gen. Thomas Meagher's reaction to the resignation of some of his officers after Gen. McClellan was removed from his command of the Army of the Potomac:</p><p>"<i>Commanding a brigade composed principally of Irish soldiers the Brigadier-General considers it not out of place to remind them that the great error of the Irish people in their struggle for an independent national existence has been their passionate and blind adherence to an individual instead of to a principle of cause. Thus for generations their heroic efforts in the right direction have been feverish and spasmodic when they should have been continuous equable and consistent.</i>"</p><p><b>Thomas Francis Meagher</b> 1823-1867 was an Irish nationalist and leader of the Young Irelanders in the Rebellion of 1848. After being convicted of sedition he was first sentenced to death but received transportation for life to Van Diemen's Land in Australia. In 1852 he escaped and made his way to the United States where he settled in New York City. At the beginning of the American Civil War Meagher joined the U.S. Army and rose to the rank of brigadier general. He was most notable for recruiting and leading the Irish Brigade U.S. 69th Infantry Regiment New York State Volunteers and encouraging support among Irish immigrants for the Union. He had one surviving son from his first wife.</p><p>Following the Civil War Meagher was appointed acting governor of the Montana Territory. In 1867 Meagher drowned in the swift-running Missouri River after falling accidentally from a steamboat at Fort Benton.</p> books

1681H0011a2-a6b-b7c-c7d-2315 pages. Small square octavo 7 ¾" x 6 ¼" bound in full leather. Second edition. Thomas Barlow 1607-1691 was an English academic and clergyman who became Provost of The Queen's College Oxford and Bishop of Lincoln. He was considered in his own times and by Edmund Venables writing in the Dictionary of National Biography to have been a trimmer a reputation mixed in with his academic and other writings on casuistry. His views were in fact Calvinist and strongly anti-Catholic and he was one of the last English bishops to identify the Pope as the Antichrist He worked in the 1660s for the 'comprehension' of nonconformists but supported the crackdown of the mid-1680s; and declared loyalty to James II of England on his accession having strongly supported the Exclusion Bill which would have denied the Catholic James the succession. Pope Pius V's response to Queen Elizabeth I of England assuming governance of the Church of England included support of the imprisoned Mary Queen of Scots and her supporters in their attempts to take over England "ex turpissima muliebris libidinis servitute". A brief English Catholic uprising the Rising of the North had just failed. Pius then issued a bull Regnans in Excelsis dated April 27 1570 that declared Elizabeth I a heretic and released her subjects from their allegiance to her. In response Elizabeth who had thus far tolerated Catholic worship in private now actively started persecuting them. Condition: Original bards with new period spine and red label with gilt lettering to spine corners rubbed and bumped else a good to very good copy.

1863027103Washington D.C.: Executive Mansion 1863. Small Octavo. 4 page folded pamphlet issued to military. The large number of desertions in the Civil War was becoming epidemic. Previously they might go home to bring in a harvest to visit a wife or girl friend or simply be tired of either war or what often seemed like endless waiting for something to happen. This offered soldiers amnesty if they returned before April 1 1863. Their only penalty would be the forfeiture of pay and allowances during their absence. After that date they will be arrested as "deserters and punished as the law provides." Pages 2-3 lists 36 places where they can report. Besides those near the places of conflict it includes locations as far away as Fort Vancouver Washington Territory Fort Randall Dakota Territory Salt Lake City and San Francisco.
