Autograph Letter Signed of New York City Post Master and Tammany Hall Grand Sachem Isaac Vanderbeck Fowler to another Post Master concerning the founding of the newspaper â€œWashington Unionâ€ to be used as political organ for the Democratic Party 1858

30857Quarto 1 page dated 12 May 1858 written by New York City Post-Master Isaac V. Fowler to a fellow Post Master requesting his help is promoting and signing subscribers to a new Democratic newspaper the Washington Union.Isaac Vanderbeck Fowler 1818-1869Isaac Vanderbeck Fowler 1818-1869 was thrice the Grand Sachem of the Tammany Society better known as Tammany Hall from 1848â€“1850 1857â€“1858 and 1858â€“1859 the last term shared with William M. "Boss" Tweed. He was appointed Postmaster of New York City by President Franklin Pierce on April 1 1853 and was also a delegate from New York to the 1860 Democratic National Convention. Fowler was an unusual leader of the Tammany Society as he was a college graduate. He also moved in the better social circles and convinced a number of rich young men to join the organization. However Fowler had long lived beyond his means and on 10 May 1860 was removed from his office as Postmaster and a warrant was issued for his arrest accusing him of embezzling $155554. Fowler who had also produced the $2500 to buy off the Republican Peter P. Voorhis on the city's Board of Supervisors was staying at a hotel when the warrant for his arrest was issued. The responsibility for Fowler's arrest was given to Isaiah Rynders another Tammany operative who was serving as a United States marshal at the time. Rynders made enough ruckus upon entering the hotel where Fowler was staying that Fowler was able to escape to Mexico. Fowler eluded capture and traveled to Mexico and Cuba. On July 5 1866 the District Attorney filed a nolle prosequi saying that he no longer intended to prosecute Fowler for his misdeeds. Sometime after that Fowler returned to the United States.Fowler died on 29 September 1869 in Chicago Illinois and was at the time planning to return to New York City."Post Office New YorkMay 12th 1858To the Post MasterDear SirI beg leave most earnestly to call your attention to the propriety of taking immediate and effective measures to increase the circulation of the WashingtonUnion. This is a measure in which our political friends at the seat of Government may naturally take a deep interest. The importance to our party of an able firm liberal central organ which shall have a wide and general circulation cannot be too highly estimated. In a free country the Press has an influence and power which should be effectively invoked for the support of the popular party. We have been heretofore too neglectful of this point. By now attending to it with efficiency and concert of action we can more than in any other way disseminate those broad and national principles the acceptance of which will not only aid the success of our party but promote the prosperity and harmony of our country. On the fly-leaf of this letter you will find a prospectusof the Union and you are requested at once to get as many subscribers as possible & forward the same to me. And I can assure you your aid in this matter will not only be gratifying to the Administration but also to our active friends at Washington & in this city.Yours respectfully & trulyIsaac V.

System According to the Holy Scriptures

184620599Sysgtem According to the Hly Scriptures by FROST ISAAC ILLS GEORGE BAXTER PRINTER Original Muggletonian Celestial Astronomical Baxter print Drawn by Isaac Frost Engraved by Clubb & Son London. Printed in oil by George Baxter. Plate 10. This is a particularly dramatic and hauntingly beautiful print showing the Earth with the Sun at the top casting a shadow. The colors on this image are among the best that Baxter produced. The Baxter oil print shown here was made in 1846 for the private use of the Muggletonians an English religious group that denied a sun-centered solar system. The Muggletonians derived their own view of the universe and these plates are among the rarest of all Baxter prints having been made for private use and never widely circulated. Part of a larger set total eleven prints made for Frost's "Two Systems of Astronomy" this print was never bound into a book but remained as a loose printed sheet. It is surmised that the others in this series were lost in the London Blitz when the Muggletonian archives were largely destroyed. The Baxter process a complex and costly printing process produced a spectacular image and the plates are strikingly beautiful. The image measures about 7 3/4 x 10 3/4 inches with decent margins. This print is in excellent brilliant condition with wide margins. Baxter Muggletonian prints are scarce and were unknown to C. T. Courtney Lewis in the first edition of his work on George Baxter. The plates we have for sale were printed for a work titled "Two Systems of Astronomy" and were most likely circulated only to members of the sect and not sold as a commercial publication due to the expensive Baxter colour process. These plates were produced to illustrate an alternative to the Newtonian beliefs of gravity and terrestrial and celestial motion and are important in the history of the relationship between religion and science. Our plates were never bound into a book but were separately published as single leaves. George Baxter (printer) books
