18391240991839. First Edition. JAY William. A View of the Action of the Federal Government in Behalf of Slavery. New-York: J.S. Taylor 1839. Small octavo 5 by 7-3/4 inches original gilt- and blind-stamped brown cloth; pp. i-iii iv-viii 13-217 1. $1600.First edition of the highly influential work by William Jay son of Founding Father John Jay documenting the ""grim"" legacy of the U.S. Constitution's ""guilty compromise""with Frederick Douglass honoring Jay at his death for his dedication to ""the great cause of universal freedom a tower of strength and his pen a two-edged sword""especially scarce in original cloth.Abolitionist and jurist William Jay was the son of John Jay the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and president of the Revolutionary Continental Congress. William Jay ""intensely invested in the fundamental goal of ending American slavery"" served as president of the New York Anti-Slavery Society drafted the constitution of the American Anti-Slavery Society and was removed as a judge in a New York county for his abolitionist activism. His 1839 View of the Action with its epigraph taken from the Constitution demonstrated Jay's conviction that ""Americans had to own up to their sin"" and acknowledged his family's part in that legacy. His book details the ways in which the Constitution's ""'guilty compromise' had shaped federal policy foreign and domestic"" for decades. In its ""nearly 200 pages of research"" he exposes officials ""who regularly made the choice to enact proslavery laws and procedures the data was grim. Yet by putting in one place such a well-informed catalog of federal policy Jay created a guidebook to issues on which antislavery politicians and lawyers could make their stand"" Gellman Liberty's Chain 190 209.Jay documents ""all the ways the federal government advanced slaveholding interests at home and abroad . the Constitution's three-fifth compromise had created substantial"" yet unacknowledged ""political advantages"" for slaveholding states and their supporters. The ""dominoes that fell included the Missouri Compromise"" which Jay firmly assails for surrendering ""all the cruelties and abominations"" of slavery to the territory. He also attacks a ""repugnant"" 1792 law barring Blacks from militia service as well as policies that made the nation's capital ""'the great slave mart of the North American continent' in Jay's book the poison born of moral compromise spread in every direction"" as he cites ""''gross hypocrisy and duplicity' in the lax enforcement of the international slave trade and insidious effects on domestic institutions and policies"" that hollowed out the Constitution in areas such as freedom of the press. In providing antislavery forces with ""a stiff empirical legal backbone ""View of the Action also reinforced a determination to use his family's ""insiders' credentials"" in order to advance defense of the Amistad rebels and to work closely with Black activists such as David Ruggles and minister and African nationalist Alexander Crummell. At Jay's death in 1858 Frederick Douglass honored him as man who ""in the great cause of universal freedom was a tower of strength and his pen a two-edged sword"" Gellman 209-213 3.

1833713Winchester Va. 1833. Broadside 4to. 290 x 160 mm. 11 ¼ x 6 ¼ inches.  Printed in two columns signed in type by Charles J. Faulkner at Winchester dated March 8 1833 at conclusion. Lightly dust-soiled pale stain affecting perhaps one-third of the left-hand margin and column of text. Neatly silked on verso. Withal about very good. Following the August 1831 Nat Turner rebellion in Southampton County a last effort was made by moderate Virginians to gradually abolish slavery. Faulkner a 26-year-old lawyer and assemblyman along with Thomas Jefferson Randolph sponsored legislation to free all children born of slave parents after July 4 1840. His speech emphasized the evil of slavery for Southern white labor noting that slavery "converts the energy of the community into indolence--its power into imbecility--its efficiency into weakness.Shall society suffer that the slave-holder may continue to gather his crop of human flesh" As the Assembly was malapportioned in favor of the Tidewater slaveocracy the proposal lost rather narrowly and nearly thirty years later the Confederacy was assured of Virginia's succession. It is perhaps not surprising that Faulkner "comparatively a stranger" to the county but a member of the Virginia House of Delegates at this time 1831-34 was not successful in his campaign to represent Virginia in the U.S. Senate. However Faulkner was elected to three terms in Congress from Virginia in the 1850s. He was elected to Congress from West Virginia after the Civil War. In the interim he served as Minister to France during the Buchanan administration and on the staff of Stonewall Jackson. Dictionary of American Biography.  Not in Hummel.

Some toning and a few holes not affecting text. Good. <br/><br/> Leopoldo O'Donnell y Jorris 1st Duke of Tetuán 1809-1867 was a Spaniard of Irish ancestry from Tenerife.

The named Cuban Slaves are of "Lucumi" ancestry originally from the Yoruba tribes of Benin and Nigeria. The documents all dated in October 1845 refer to the slaves Joaquin Garcia de Angarica and Florentino Armenteroy Regidor.<br/> These requests were made to transfer the slave from one hacienda to another for work purposes the terms of work engagement frequently stated here. unknown books
18224276Howard County Mo 1822. Good. Three documents totaling 3pp. folio the two earliest documents written on each side of the same leaf with an integral blank and attached to the third document with sealing wax each document docketed on verso. Some short separations along folds minor spotting two short tape repairs. A series of three documents recording a case of slave theft in Missouri. The plaintiff in the case George W. Hardin sues a man named Urial Bailey for stealing three slaves from the Hardin estate in Howard County Missouri. The first document is a sworn oath dated May 23 1822 by George Hardin stating that "He was lawfully possessed of the negroes.and that the same were unlawfully taken by Urial Bailey.from his properties and with out his consent within one year last past and that he is now lawfully entitled to the possession of the said negroes." The document is attested by the clerk and signed by Hardin.<br /> <br /> The second document is executed by Hardin's lawyers on the verso of his oath dated the same day and constitutes an order from the court to the Sheriff of Howard County informing him that "George W. Hardin hath come into the Circuit Court held in the town of Franklin and found sufficient sureties as well as his clamour to prosecute for a certain woman called Dolly about the age of twenty eight years also one negro boy of about the age of nine years named Nathan also one negro girl called Eliza about the age of three years all the property of the said Plaintiff.which a certain Uriel Bailey.hath taken and unjustly detains. You are hereby commanded that the said goods.be delivered to the said George W. Hardin and that.Uriel Bailey appear before the said Circuit Court to be held at the town of Franklin."<br /> <br /> The third document is executed by Hardin's lawyers on the verso of his oath dated September 1822 and lays out the facts of the case. It reads in part: "George W. Hardin by his Attorney Tompkins & French complains of Urial Bailey that he took the previously named slaves of great value. To wit of the value of fifteen hundred dollars.where fore the said Plaintiff saith that he is injured and hath sustained damages to the value of five hundred dollars and therefore he brings suit." Interestingly in this document Hardin's lawyers refer to the youngest slave Eliza as a "mulatto girl." Docketing on the integral blank attached to the oath and lawyer's document dated May 23 1822 indicate that Hardin was seeking "Replevin Damages" of $500 which the court seems to grant. <br /> <br /> The motive behind Urial or Uriel Bailey's thefts are not recorded here but the issue of slave stealing was not uncommon and had been going on in the American colonies and the fledgling United States for a long time. According to Timothy F. Reilly in "Slave Stealing in the Early Domestic Trade as Revealed by a Loyal Manservant" published in Louisiana History: The Journal of the Louisiana Historical Association Vol. 55 No. 1 Winter 2004 pp.5-39: "Slave stealing plagued domestic slaveholders as far back as the colonial period when those who would unlawfully deprive a property owner of human chattel were detested as 'Negro jockeys.' Whether operating in the northern or southern colonies a 'man-stealer' lurking about either as a piratical thief or as a high-minded abolitionist was guilty of one of the worst crimes against the sanctity of property. By the 1830s man stealing reached epidemic levels in parts of the South."<br /> <br /> Despite the seeming prevalence of slave theft for a long period of time in the United States primary source records of court cases are very scarce. unknown
