First edition Monaghan's first issue. 1 2-15 1pp. Lincoln's speech comprises pages 1-11 out of a total of 16 pages. With New York Tribune ads and subscription terms on rear wrapper. 8vo. This address made at the Cooper Institute in New York on February 27 1860 catapulted Lincoln into the public eye and made him a viable presidential candidate. Indeed many historians have considered it the key to his success in the 1860 election and it is probably the most important speech Lincoln made after the Gettysburg Address and his inaugural addresses. The Cooper Union address was months in preparation; Lincoln was fully aware of its importance in moving himself from a regional favorite son to a viable national candidate. In the event some 1500 people including many prominent political figures attended on a snowy new York evening. The speech divides into three major parts. In the first Lincoln addressed the spread of slavery arguing that the framers of the constitution had been opposed to it and that the Federal government could regulate the question. In the second he argued that the Republicans were not a sectional Northern party and attacked the threats of southern Democrats to secede if the Republicans should win the election. Finally he addressed his fellow Republicans calling on them to act carefully and do "nothing through passion and ill temper.Let us have faith that right makes might and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it." The Cooper Union speech was a resounding success. Horace Greeley described it as "one of the happiest and most convincing political arguments ever made in this City. No man ever made such an impression on his first appeal to a New York audience." Greeley quickly issued the speech in the form of this "Tribune Tract." It includes a final page of advertisements for other Tribune publications. The speech was later widely reprinted and made Lincoln nationally famous. This printing differs from other editions by its inclusion of a speech by James Doolittle Senator from Wisconsin and the message of Samuel Medary Democratic governor of the Kansas Territory vetoing the Kansas abolition bill. "The Cooper Union address tested whether Lincoln's appeal could extend from the podium to the page and from the rollicking campaigns of the rural West to the urban East. Cooper Union held the promise of transforming Lincoln from a regional phenomenon to a national figure. Lincoln knew it and rose to the occasion" Harold Holzer Lincoln at the Copper Union: The Speech That Made Abraham Lincoln President. Monaghan 50 Office of the New York Tribune unknown

Trial of the Assassins and Conspirators for the Murder of Abraham Lincoln and The Attempted Assassinations Of Vice-President Johnson And The Whole Cabinet

1865005102Philadelphia: Barclay & Co. 1864 1865 1865. FIRST EDITION. 1 vol. 9-1/4" x 5-3/4" original pictorial wrappers illustrated pagination irregular but complete original stitching completely unsophisticated without repairs internally clean and bright mild general handling but surely one of the nicest copies you're going to encounter VERY GOOD. McDade 623 According to RBH only 2 copies have ever appeared at auction. The last one in 2008. Variant issue mentioned by Howes with the illustration of the execution moved to p 96; also with misprint of copyright date as "1864". Featuring engraved portrait of Mary Surratt on cover. The assassination of Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth on the night of April 14 1865 need no retelling. Time however which has its own way with our judgments has raised some doubts about some of these. The unfairness of the military tribunal is now manifest and the guilt of Mrs. Surratt is certainly doubtful. This was amply demonstrated by the fact that only two years after the crime the government could not obtain the conviction of her son John Surratt in the civil courts in Washington.

Douglas Daniel Webster Henry Clay John Hancock Patrick Henry Gouverneur Morris Alexander Hamilton John C. Calhoun James Madison George Mason Elbridge Gerry Andrew Jackson Thomas Jefferson George Washington and William Gaston.

Trial of Abraham Lincoln by the Great Statesmen of the Republic. A Council of the Past on the Tyranny of the Present. The Spirit of the Constitution on the Benchâ€”Abraham Lincoln Prisoner at the Bar his own Counsel. New York: Office of the Metropolitan Record 1863. Original printed wrappers stitched. 29 3 pp. First Edition. Excerpts:"George Washington the father of the American Union who was surrounded by the great statesmen of the Revolution and by others of a still later dateâ€¦had assembled for the trial of the present incumbent â€¦ on charges of the gravest and most serious character. the Spirit of the Constitutionâ€¦occupied the bench of Justice." 4-5"Abraham Lincoln is herein charged with treasonable intent purposes and designs in having committed the following unconstitutional acts in the course of his administration:"1. In having declared war against independent and sovereign States under the pretence of repossessing himself of certain forts and other property seized and held by said States."2. In having arrested citizens of the United States and incarcerated them in Government bastiles without process of law."3. In having suppressed the liberty of speech thereby denying to the citizen the Constitutional right of criticizing the acts of his Administration."4. In having prohibited and stopped the publication of certain newspapers for the exercise of the same right referred to in the preceding charge."5. In having placed the military above the civil power as shown in the establishment of martial law over portions of the country which were not embraced within the theatre of war."6. In overthrowing State sovereignty as in the case of Virginia the integrity of which was violated by the erection of the so-called State of Kanawha within its limits."7. In having approved indorsed and partially carried into execution the unconstitutional act of Congress known as the Confiscation Bill."8. In having approved of the infamous law known as the Conscription Act which was not only subversive of the Constitution but violative of State sovereignty."9. In having attempted to carry into execution the Emancipation Act thereby violating the most sacred guarantees of the Constitution. 5-6"The criminal looked around the court and on the faces of the assembled patriots of the past but as they returned his gaze they shuddering averted their heads. Then the Spirit of the Constitution addressing him spoke as follows:"'You have been tried and found wanting. You have been given the opportunity of saving a nation but you have stabbed it to the heart. You were born in the freest country under the sun but you have converted it into a despotism. You have violated your oath; you have betrayed the trust reposed in you by the popular will and to the outraged justice of your countrymen I now leave you with the brand of "Tyrant" upon your brow. They will hereafter inflict upon you that penalty which justice demands while history will pronounce its judgment upon the infamous acts of your Administration.'" 28-29Historical BackgroundContemporaries historians and others have criticized Lincoln for violating state sovereignty freedom of speech and freedom of the press for suspending habeas corpus and imposing martial law. All of these charges figure prominently in this ghostly trial of the President.The publisher and possibly author of this pamphlet was John Mulally the Irish-born editor and proprietor of the Metropolitan Record a weekly Catholic family newspaper published from 1859 to 1868 in New York City. From 1859 to March 1863 it was the official organ of the Archbishop John Hughes of New York. Catholic critics accused it of taking an "open and avowedly treasonable courseâ€¦since the war broke out; but more especially since the President issued his Emancipation Proclamation" and of forcing Archbishop Hughes to withdraw his support.The Indiana State Sentinel a Democratic newspaper published in Indianapolis printed much of the pamphlet on its front page declaring it "perhaps the most thorough and effective exposition of the terrible character and extent of the departure of the present Administration from the word and spirit of the fathers of the Constitution that has yet been put in print."In 1863 authorities arrested Baltimore booksellers Michael J. Kelly and John B. Piet publishers of the Catholic Mirror for printing works of a "treasonable character." On May 23 1864 Provost Marshal detectives again arrested Kelly and Piet and searched their store. Among the "inflammable matter" found were 97 copies of thispamphlet envelopes with rebel flags 57 packs of playing cards with Confederate officers and some 212 Confederate photographs. The authorities imprisoned Kelly and Piet in Fort McHenry. On May 28 Kelly's son received permission to reopen the store and authorities allowed the press to resume publication of the Catholic Mirror on May 30 while Kelly and Piet awaited trial. On June 1 and 2 Major General Lew Wallace ordered Kelly and Piet released if they each posted a $5000 security bond not to violate any departmental regulations.In March 1864 Major General William S. Rosecrans a Catholic commander of the Department of the Missouri ordered the Provost Marshal General in St. Louis to seize all issues of the Metropolitan Record to prohibit further distribution of the newspaper in that department and to punish all vendors who sold or distributed issues of the newspaper knowing their "traitorous contents." Rosecrans had read enough in the Metropolitan Record to satisfy himself that "no reasonable freedom nor even license of the press suffice for the traitorous utterances in those articles" and that they were "a libel on the Catholics who as a body are loyal and national." In November 1864 Major General Hugh Ewing commanding the District of Kentucky likewise banned the circulation of the Metropolitan Record and seven other newspapers in his district.In the midst of the 1864 presidential election campaign the Metropolitan Recordadvertised for canvassers to sell this as "the great campaign pamphlet of the day." Mulally later reportedly repudiated McClellan as the Democratic nominee favoring a peace candidate instead.111 Eberstadt 332. Monaghan 252. Sabin 41234.
