18616140Nashville 1861. Good plus. Small broadside approximately 11 x 7.25 inches. Creased along lower edge; ink burn causing a dime-size paper loss at upper right slightly affecting border plus a few additional stray ink marks. Later faint pencil annotations on blank verso. Moderate tanning and dust soiling. A scarce Confederate carrier's address published on Christmas in Nashville during the first year of the Civil War. The Republican Banner was formed in 1837 from a merger of two other periodicals and was the first permanent daily newspaper to serve the Nashville area as well as the first to operate its presses by steam. Tennessee officially seceded from the Union on June 8 1681 but Nashville surrendered to Gen. Grant's troops on February 23 1862 whereupon the Republican Banner suspended publication for the remainder of the war. As a result the present broadside is only carrier's address issued by the paper that is also a Confederate imprint. The text is printed in two columns with in a decorative border and the title is illustrated with a vignette of a newsboy making a delivery. The verse itself exults in the success of the Confederate rebellion thus far regaling its reader with the progress of secession and naming the recent battles that were Confederate victories including Fort Sumter Bull Run Bethel Lexington Leesburg Springfield Oak Hill and Belmont due to the supposed righteousness of the Southern cause and its superior fighting spirit:<br /> <br /> "'Twas Southern valor won the undying name / Of conqueror o'er the unconquered till that hour. / And when upon Manassas' awful plain / The Federal hordes fled back aghast in woe / Not courage only heaped the field with slain / The majesty of right o'erwhelmed the foe."<br /> <br /> The broadside also mentions somewhat optimistically England’s support of the Confederacy and names specific figures including Generals Lee Beauregard Johnson and President Jefferson Davis among a number of others as emerging Confederate heroes. Parrish & Willingham record a single copy at Vanderbilt and OCLC adds nothing further. A rare example of a Confederate carrier's address. <br /> Parrish & Willingham 6498. unknown

Good to Good. <br /> <br /> Federalists from New England led by George Sullivan assert they "could not consider the war into which the U.S. have in secret been precipitated as necessary or required by any moral duty or any political expediency."
