Laboulaye, Edward (Edouard Rene de) [Edouard Rene Lefebvre de Laboulaye] / [Lincoln, Abraham]Biblio.com

The Election of the President of the United States Professor Laboulaye the great friend of America on the Presidential Election.

186423032AB1864. Washington Printed for the Union Congressional Committee 1864. 8°. 14 pages. Softcover / Original Pamphlet. Original brochure. Some foxing. Unopened. Extremely RARE ! "To vote for Lincoln is to vote for Union and for Liberty". This is how this pamphlet ends in which Laboulaye urges the americans to vote for Lincoln instead for McClellan. But Laboulaye was even more important to the american people in his overall favour of this country as a leading role for freedom and future. He suggested the present by France which was later erected as the "Statue of Liberty" "In the summer of 1865 a group of Frenchmen were gathered together one evening at the home of the well-known author Edouard Rene de Laboulaye in the village of Glavingny a suburb of Paris. Among those present were Oscar and Edmond de Lafayette grandsons of the Marquis d' Lafayette Masonic brother of George Washington; Henri Martin the noted historian and French Mason; and a young artist from Colmar in French later German Alsace by the name of Frederic Auguste Bartholdi who at the time was engaged in making a bust of Laboulaye called by one biographer "America's most ardent admirer in France." Laboulaye told the group that it would be a splendid gesture on the part of all liberty-loving Frenchmen to acknowledge their friendship to America by presenting a fitting memorial. Some have speculated that he had a second motive in mind to call attention to the contrast between the American way of life with its freedoms and that of the French under the repressive Second Empire. The 31-year-old Bartholdi became imbued with the idea and also the challenge it presented to his artistic talent. But the proposal lay dormant during the autocratic rule of Napoleon III and throughout the destructive years of the Franco-Prussian War. In 1871 Laboulaye the Brother Lafayette with their cousin the Marquis de Noailles and the Marquis de Rochambeau along with Henri Martin revived the plan for the as yet unnamed memorial. They suggested that Bartholdi visit America and make arrangements for the presentation of the monument on July 4 1876 the Centenary of the Declaration of Independence. Armed with letters of introduction and full of high hopes Bartholdi sailed for America although it is said that he did not have even a rough drawing of the proposed monument. Two weeks later while standing on the deck of the ship Pereire steaming up Lower New York Bay he caught a vision of a magnificent goddess holding aloft a torch in one hand and welcoming all visitors to the land of freedom and opportunity. Quickly obtaining paper and brush Bartholdi sketched in water-color the idea of the Statue of Liberty substantially as it appears today. It was his thought to have this symbolic structure tower over the steeple of Trinity Church then the tallest building on the New York skyline. He wrote to Laboulaye "these outlines may well aim beyond the mere monument at a work of great moral value." MasonicWorld - By R. W. Robert C. Singer Édouard René Lefèbvre de Laboulaye French pronunciation: edwa ne lfv d labul 18 January 1811 25 May 1883 was a French jurist poet author and anti-slavery activist. In 1865 he originated the idea of a monument presented by the French people to the United States that resulted in the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. He got the idea thinking that this would help strengthen their relationship with the United States. Laboulaye was received at the bar in 1842 and was chosen professor of comparative law at the Collège de France in 1849. Following the Paris Commune of 1870 he was elected to the national assembly representing the departement of the Seine. As secretary of the committee of thirty on the constitution he was effective in combatting the Monarchists in establishing the Third Republic. In 1875 he was elected a life senator and in 1876 he was appointed administrator of the Collège de France resuming his lectures on comparative legislation in 1877. Laboulaye was also chairman of the French Anti-Slavery Society. Laboulaye was president of the Société d'économie politique. Always a careful observer of the politics of the United States and an admirer of its constitution he wrote a three-volume work on the political history of the United States and published it in Paris during the height of the politically repressed Second Empire. During the American Civil War he was a zealous advocate of the Union cause and the abolition of slavery publishing histories of the cultural connections of the two nations. At the war's conclusion in 1865 he became president of the French Emancipation Committee that aided newly freed slaves in the U.S. The same year he had the idea of presenting a statue representing liberty as a gift to the United States a symbol for ideas suppressed by Napoleon III. The sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi one of Laboulaye's friends turned the idea into reality. Wikipedia paperback

1860158491860. Lincoln Abraham. The Lincoln and Douglas Debates 1860 printed record of the seven public debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas during the 1858 Illinois Senate campaign a pivotal series of political confrontations over slavery and the future of the United States. The debates addressed the expansion of slavery into western territories and the constitutional implications of the Supreme Court's Dred Scott decision. Lincoln used the campaign to articulate a moral and political critique of slavery's expansion including the position he expressed in his earlier convention speech that "a house divided against itself cannot stand." Although Lincoln lost the Senate race to Douglas the debates established him as a leading national figure within the Republican Party and played a major role in shaping the political arguments that led to his presidential election in 1860. Lincoln Abraham. The Lincoln And Douglas Debates. A Political Debates between Hon. Abraham Lincoln and Hon. Stephen A. Douglas. In the Celebrated Campaign of 1858 in Illinois. Columbus: Follett Foster and Company 1860. First edition third issue identified by the numeral "2" on page 13 and the presence of the publisher's advertisement. Octavo volume containing 268 pages. Bound in publisher's original olive green textured cloth with blind stamped borders and spine lettered in gilt. The Lincoln Douglas debates represented one of the most influential series of political exchanges in nineteenth century American history addressing the central constitutional and moral questions surrounding slavery in the years immediately preceding the Civil War. Douglas defended the doctrine of popular sovereignty arguing that territories should decide the legality of slavery for themselves while Lincoln challenged the compatibility of that doctrine with the Dred Scott decision and emphasized the moral consequences of the institution. Although Douglas retained his Senate seat Lincoln's articulate presentation of the issues drew national attention and positioned him as a major political figure within the emerging Republican Party.

Lincoln-Era State Department Report on Black Troops Yellow Fever and French Imperial Strategy in Mexico 1863

1863175681863. Lincoln Abraham. African Troops Scarce U.S. Senate executive document transmitting a message from Abraham Lincoln and accompanying State Department correspondence concerning the French deployment of Black troops to Mexico during the American Civil War. Issued by the 37th Congress 3rd Session in February 1863 the report reflects the convergence of emancipation-era policy racialized military labor and international imperial strategy. U.S. Senate Executive Document No. 40 37th Congress 3rd Session; February 1863. Original printed pamphlet in standard folio format.Prepared under the direction of William H. Seward the document compiles diplomatic intelligence indicating that France transported African troops from Egypt-specifically from regions identified as "Dalfour" and Nubia-to reinforce forces stationed at Veracruz during the French Intervention in Mexico. The stated rationale as recorded in the report was that "the black race is not subject to the yellow fever" revealing the period's racialized medical assumptions and their direct application in imperial military logistics. Produced in the immediate aftermath of the Emancipation Proclamation this document is especially significant for situating Black military labor within a global context. While the Union was actively recruiting African American soldiers U.S. officials were simultaneously monitoring European powers deploying African troops across colonial networks. The report thus provides rare contemporary evidence of how race disease theory and military necessity intersected in both American and European wartime policy. This document holds strong research value across multiple fields: African American military history Civil War diplomacy transnational slavery and emancipation colonial medicine and 19th-century imperial warfare. It is particularly notable for documenting the perceived biological resilience of Black soldiers as a strategic asset-an idea central to both colonial and military history. AS per OCLC Scarce in institutional holdings with only a small number of recorded copies including Wyoming North Texas Michigan and Faulkner University. OCLC data should be understood as approximate and subject to revision. Condition: Light dampstaining to the lower right blank corner; otherwise in very good condition and clean legible text. unknown

Abraham Thornton a bricklayer was accused of the rape and murder of Mary Ashford when she was found dead the morning after a dance where the two had been seen together. Thornton admitted that the two had been consensually intimate but denied the charges of rape and murder. Eyewitness accounts backed up his story and in the absence of other evidence he was acquitted of both charges. Public outcry around his acquittal led to Mary's brother William invoking an "appeal of murder." This uncommon legal practice allowed a retrial of a defendant acquitted for murder but crucially gave the defendant the right to trial by battle. Thornton invoked that right and was released after William Ashford declined the challenge. The case resulted in the abolition of appeals by murder and thus the end of trial by battle. Despite his protestations of innocence the public was thoroughly convinced of his guilt. Unable to lead a normal life Thornton moved to the United States and settled in Baltimore Maryland.

President Lincoln and General Grant on Peace and War.

1864101729Np New York: For sale by all News Agents. Price $1 per 100. 1864. 4to. Broadside text in two columns; creased from prior folding and split at creases some toning and paper clip rust staining. Republic campaign broadside reprinting an interview with Lincoln by former Wisconsin State Assemblyman Joseph T. Mills and former state Governor Alexander Williams Randall. Lincoln vigorously defends the use of Black soldiers in the Union Army against Democratic candidate McClellan's strategy of leniency towards Southern States rejoining the Union: "The slightest knowledge of Arithmetic will prove to any man that the rebel armies cannot be destroyed with Democratic strategy. It would sacrifice all the white men of the North to do it. There are now in the service of the United States near 200000 able-bodied colored men most of them under arms defending and acquiring Union territory. The Democratic strategy demands that these forces be disbanded and that the masters be conciliated by restoring them to slavery. Will you give our enemies such military advantages. to get them back into the Union Abandon all the posts now garrisoned by black men take 200000 men from our side and put them in the battle-field or corn-field against us and we would be compelled to abandon the war in three weeks. . There have been men base enough to propose to me to return to slavery the black warriors of Port Hudson and Olustee and thus win the respect of the masters they fought. Should I do so I should deserve to be damned in time and eternity. My enemies pretend I am now carrying on this war for the sole purpose of abolition. So long as I am president it shall be carried on for the sole purpose of restoring the Union. But no human power can subdue this Rebellion without the use of the emancipation policy and every other policy calculated to weaken the moral and physical forces of the Rebellion." This is the first separate printing of the interview which was first published as "The Loyal Road to Peace and the Disloyal Road to Ruin President Lincoln on Democratic Strategy" in the Wisconsin Grant County Herald August 1864. The broadside also prints Grant's letter to E.B. Washbourne "The Rebels have now in their ranks their last man. The little boys and old men are guarding prisoners guarding railroad bridges and forming a good part of their garrisons for entrenched positions " and a poem by Bayard Taylor on the Democrats' presidential nominating convention.

1819 – Reply by two early St. Louis land agents to a man in Ohio searching for a relative who had gone west

1819010456St. Louis Missouri 1819. Envelope or Cover. Very good. This stampless folded letter measures 7.5â€ x 12â€. It is datelined â€œSt. Louis 14 August 1819â€ and was sent to Moses Taylor at Mount Vernon Ohio in care of the towns postmaster Henry B. Curtis by Aaron T. Crane and Abraham Beck early St. Louis land agents whose business the Western Land Agency was located in the rear of the Bank of St. Louis at 58 South Main Street where Crane also served as the St. Louis Postmaster only the third since the position was established in 1808. The letterâ€™s two-line typeset postmark was the earliest used in St. Louis and the Spink Shreve Auction #121 reports that only four examples are known to have survived. Taylor or Curtis for him apparently had asked Crane and Beck if they knew the whereabouts of a relative probably a son. It reads in part: â€œYours . . . was duly received and we made immediate enquiries . . . to return an answer as soon aspossible still owing to the number of strangers who daily arrive & pass through this place we were unable to discover Mr. Taylor matching the name you provided. However a person answering your description by the name Moses Taylor a carpenter by trade is in this place. He is doing well & has been making some money & has good employment. We said nothing to Mr. Taylor yet. Yours Respectfully / Crane & A. Beckâ€ . No online information is available about the Ohio Turners and little is known about Crane and Beck other than that Beck was the son of a New York physician and Crane had served as an army or militia captain during the War of 1812. For more information see Billonâ€™s Annals of St. Louis in its Territorial Days Heritage Auctions Sale #3547 of 1 November 2017 and Horstmanâ€™s â€œWilliam T. Oâ€™Hara Missouri Territorial Bankerâ€ in the â€œMissouri Paper Money Clip Fileâ€ at Washington University Volume 1 of the American Stampless Cover Catalog and on-line genealogical records for Crane Beck and Curtis. An exceptionally scarce and important letter regarding life in early American St. Louis as the city was growing rapidly. The physical records for the Western Land Agency which have been microfilmed and digitized are held by the Library of Congress. At the time of listing only one other letter from Beck held by the St. Louis Mercantile Library at the University of Missouri in St. Louis and one document signed by Crane a 6-cent Post Office scrip note are known to have survived. . unknown
