018643Moses Dawson had left Ireland late in life to escape political repression from England and already written a biography of Andrew Jackson which made him a founding father of the Jacksonian Party in Ohio. He began writing a biography of William Henry Harrison as he was running for Congress n 1823 which ended up a 464 page work. Here is a loan to Harrison in the amount of $140.70 in 1832. It may be for money promised Harrison for the sale of his book or since Harrison's political runs for Congress and a little later for the Presidency prefigured campaign war chests it may merely have been a veiled campaign donation. In case it is a nice copy measuring 8" x 3 3/4" with a few stains not obscuring the text. unknown books
029644folio 4 pages the manuscript is undated but is written on laid paper watermarked 1811 and mentions troubles caused on July 12 1813 “Orangemen’s Day” and clearly dates from his days in Belfast Ireland. Dawson touches on sectarian strife and speaks highly critically and in his typically combative style of the chief magistrate responsible for the expulsion of seven thousand Catholics from county Armagh and for those responsible for continuing the strife in the present case in Belfast. The manuscript is identified as being “The handwriting of Moses Dawson biographer of Harrison” on the last page. Comparison with other letters by Dawson bears this out. The manuscript is headed: “The particular attention of the members of the Established church of the Parish of Belfast is particularly requested to the report of the Trial of Dr. Tennent at the quarter sessions last week – and in order to place the evidence given on that trial in as clear a point of view as possible particularly that part of it which went to convict the Doctor and that which was given in exculpation – it shall be given under particular heads as D. & C. “ Dawson relates an account of the trial for the course of 2 ½ pages before heading into a second section of a page and a half which begins “Now my friends here is a fair and impartial statement of this account laid before you…” Dawson continues: “… there is one item on the debit side for which there is no credit given on the other – namely that part of Mr. Verner’s evidence where he says a great crowd followed to the office hoping and hooting – this however I am sure many of you can balance in your own minds by matter fact as it must be known to many of you that no such circumstance took place but that the indignation of the people was expressed by silent astonishment at seeing a respectable useful and inoffensive inhabitant dragged like a felon to the Black hole. You must be sensible from the evidence of those respectable and worthy men who were called on the defence that the most simple assault was not intended – that no disrespect was meant to the judges of the Land and that so far from Dr. Tennet setting himself in opposition to the constitution of his country he was endevouring by Constitutional means to prevent the recurrence of murder in our streets – Who can be considered the best friend to the constitution of his country the man who would abet a lawless Banditti in murder in raiping and House burning or the man who would by every legal means endeavour to put a stop to such scenes – the question answers itself – “the notorious Verner and “the lamb of grace” aided by the infamous bench who presided at Antrim sessions are the real enemies of the Constitution and not the peaceable inhabitants of Belfast who wished to put an end to such disgraceful scenes as those of 12 July 1813. Fellow Christians only think of the miserable situation you are reduced to – on the one hand a chief Magistrate whose youthful days have been passed in the raiping burning and murder of the unfortunate Catholics of Armagh and who is now come to spend his more mature years in promoting the same system in Belfast – and who has added perjury to the other list of crimes of which he has been … guilty – and on the other a Pastor who from infancy has been innured to all the crimes committed in an infamous gaming house – who was begotten in adultery and nurtured in villainy – who has long since robbed the gallows of its dues – and whose ears for this last act of his richly deserves to be nailed to the Pillory – How can you without horror view these men in their respective situations in the church – how can you without abhorrence view such a man as Verner in the seat of justice with all his emblems about him – or how can you look upon him without picturing in your imagination the flames of the cabin and the shrieks of women and children – and lastly what you must thin unknown books

186929565Philadelphia: E.C. Markley & Son Printers 1869. 23 1 blank pp. Stitched in original printed purple wrappers light color fading. Near Fine.<br/><br/> A rare printed argument by Dropsie the prominent lawyer author philanthropist entrepreneur railroad promoter President of Gratz College and a leader of Philadelphia's Jewish community. Representing Philadelphia's Aldermen Dropsie appeals from a lower court decision enjoining the Aldermen from enforcing a new State law designed to prevent voting fraud. Dropsie argues "the necessity for some law to prevent the perpetration of frauds and protect the citizen in his right of suffrage." Existing law has not "restrained the commission of frauds in elections" in Philadelphia. <br/> The lower court had declared that the law's application exclusively to Philadelphia violated the State Constitution's requirement "that elections shall be free and equal." Dropsie explains the true meaning of the "free and equal" clause and argues that it does not prohibit the enactment. <br/>OCLC 58445647 3- U PA PA State Hebrew Union as of April 2019. E.C.
