December 2 1862 9⅛ x 24 in. 2 pp.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Excerpt:</b></p><p>"<i>The suspension of specie payments by the banks… made large issues of United States notes unavoidable. In no other way could the payment of the troops and the satisfaction of other just demands be so economically or so well provided for… A return to specie payments however at the earliest period … should ever be kept in view. Fluctuations in the value of currency are always injurious… Convertibility prompt and certain convertibility into coin is generally acknowledged to be the best and surest safeguard against them; and it is extremely doubtful whether a circulation of United States notes payable in coin and sufficiently large for the wants of the people can be permanently usefully and safely maintained…</i></p><p><i>There is no line straight or crooked suitable for a national boundary upon which to divide…Among the friends of the Union there is great diversity of sentiment and of policy in regard to slavery and the African race amongst us… emancipation will be unsatisfactory to the advocates of perpetual slavery but the length of time 37 years in Lincoln's compensated emancipation proposal should greatly mitigate their dissatisfaction. The time spares both races from the evils of sudden derangement… while most of those whose habitual course of thought will be disturbed by the measure will have passed away before its consummation. They will never see it. Another class will hail the prospect of emancipation but will deprecate the length of time. They will feel that it gives too little to the now living slaves. But it really gives them much. It saves them from the vagrant destitution which must largely attend immediate emancipation in localities where their numbers are very great and it gives the inspiring assurance that their posterity shall be free forever… Let us ascertain the sum we have expended in the war since compensated emancipation was proposed last March and consider whether if that measure had been promptly accepted by even some of the slave States the same sum would not have done more to close the war than has been otherwise done…</i></p><p><i><b>Fellow-citizens we cannot escape history.</b> We of this Congress and this administration will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance or insignificance can spare one or another of us. <b>The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor to the latest generation. We say we are for the Union. The world will not forget that we say this. We know how to save the Union. The world knows we do know how to save it. We—even we here—hold the power and bear the responsibility. In giving freedom to the slave we assure freedom to the free—honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope of earth.</b></i>"</p><p><b>Additional Content Below Lincoln's State of the Union</b></p><p>Three news items cover the bottom half of the third column verso.</p><p>The first discusses the three top western cities as grain shippers Chicago Milwaukee and Toledo.

Toledo totaled <i>18667817</i> bushels.</p><p>The second re-prints news from <i>Liverpool Journal of Commerce</i> published on November 11th regarding the British government's adherence to neutrality policies.</p><p>The third reports on Gen. Thomas Meagher's reaction to the resignation of some of his officers after Gen. McClellan was removed from his command of the Army of the Potomac:</p><p>"<i>Commanding a brigade composed principally of Irish soldiers the Brigadier-General considers it not out of place to remind them that the great error of the Irish people in their struggle for an independent national existence has been their passionate and blind adherence to an individual instead of to a principle of cause. Thus for generations their heroic efforts in the right direction have been feverish and spasmodic when they should have been continuous equable and consistent.</i>"</p><p><b>Thomas Francis Meagher</b> 1823-1867 was an Irish nationalist and leader of the Young Irelanders in the Rebellion of 1848. After being convicted of sedition he was first sentenced to death but received transportation for life to Van Diemen's Land in Australia. In 1852 he escaped and made his way to the United States where he settled in New York City. At the beginning of the American Civil War Meagher joined the U.S. Army and rose to the rank of brigadier general. He was most notable for recruiting and leading the Irish Brigade U.S. 69th Infantry Regiment New York State Volunteers and encouraging support among Irish immigrants for the Union. He had one surviving son from his first wife.</p><p>Following the Civil War Meagher was appointed acting governor of the Montana Territory.

18392250New York City: City Fire Insurance Company of the City of New York 1839. City Fire Insurance Company of the City of New York Fire Policy for Abraham Bell & Company 117 Broad Street New York--1839<br /> <br /> Bifolium policy measures previously folded into sixths. Partially printed. Light foxing. 1/2 inch to one inch hole through both leaves affecting some text. Good Condition.<br /> <br /> Early fire insurance policy for New York City property located at 117 Broad Street offices of Abraham Bell & Company. From the University of Michigan finding aid for the papers of Abraham Bell we find: "Abraham Bell was born in Ireland in March 1778 and married Mary Christy in 1812; the couple had six children. In the early 19th century Bell a Quaker and his family emigrated to New York City where he built a shipping firm Abraham Bell & Company. The business which operated several transatlantic routes shipped a wide variety of goods including linens. In 1844 Bell changed the name of his company to Abraham Bell & Son. A few years later during the Irish famine of the late 1840s Bell's company assisted in the transportation of émigrés to America. Bell died in New York City in 1856."<br /> <br /> After the Great Fire of New York in 1835 fire insurance became difficult to obtain as many companies were bankrupted by the 1835 fire with a reported 23 of 26 insurance companies wiped out. Little is found about the City Fire Insurance Company of the City of New York. After the 1835 conflagration most fire insurance companies in the east were based out of Hartford Connecticut. This policy is signed by the company President Cyrus Hitchcock and Secretary R.A. Reading. The premium was $1.00 for coverage of $1200. <br /> <br /> Document printed by James Van Norden Pine Street New York and features a suitably patriotic vignette at the top of the certificate.

1865136231865. Lincoln Abraham. Late Civil War portrait of Abraham Lincoln derived from a February 1865 photograph taken during the final months of the American Civil War. The image records Lincoln near the conclusion of the conflict that preserved the Union and ended legal slavery in the United States. Created shortly before his assassination in April 1865 the portrait captures a visibly worn president whose appearance reflected the physical and political strain of leading the nation through four years of war. The photograph was long attributed to Mathew Brady but was actually taken by government photographer Lewis Emory Walker and issued commercially through the New York photographic publishers E. & H. T. Anthony. The portrait belongs to a group of late images that document Lincoln's appearance in the closing weeks of the war.<br /> <br /> Stereoview photograph published by Keystone View Company reproducing the 1865 Walker portrait of Abraham Lincoln. Keystone stereograph number 92. The mount bears the Keystone biographical text about Lincoln on the verso together with the company's copyright notice. A handwritten pencil notation on the reverse references the earlier attribution of the photograph to Mathew Brady. The portrait shows Lincoln with closely cut hair a style that contemporary accounts suggested was recommended by his barber in preparation for the creation of a life mask by sculptor Clark Mills.<br /> <br /> Photographic portraits of Lincoln produced during the final months of the Civil War became some of the most widely circulated visual representations of the president after his assassination in April 1865. Images such as this stereographic reproduction contributed to the creation of Lincoln's public memory in the late nineteenth century when photographic publishers issued stereographs and other prints that allowed Americans to view notable figures through emerging visual media. Stereographs played an important role in popular visual culture during this period offering audiences three dimensional photographic views through stereoscopic viewers and distributing portraits of political leaders to a wide national audience. Light wear consistent with age and handling. Overall condition good to very good. unknown
1863182911863. Maine Farmer. January 8 1863 prints the full text of Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation within one week of its issuance providing contemporaneous evidence of how federal emancipation policy was circulated to the Northern public during the Civil War. Published just days after January 1 1863 the issue situates emancipation alongside ongoing war reporting integrating the declaration of freedom for enslaved people in Confederate states into the broader military and political narrative of the Union war effort. Introduced under the subheading "The following is the text of the President emancipating the slaves in the rebellious states" the proclamation asserts federal authority through wartime powers declaring that "all persons held as slaves within said designated States and parts of States are and henceforward shall be free" and further authorizes the enlistment of Black men into the armed forces. The proximity of this text to battlefield reports and personal correspondence underscores the immediacy with which emancipation entered public discourse as both military strategy and social transformation.<br /> <br /> Maine Farmer. Vol. not stated. Maine January 8 1863. 4 pages. Newspaper format. The Emancipation Proclamation appears in full on the second page accompanied by additional Civil War coverage including reports of troop movements battle outcomes and casualties. On the same page a letter from a Union soldier of the 16th Maine Regiment written at the Battle of Fredericksburg reads in part: "Dear Father I write you while lying on the battlefield wounded perhaps fatally. Tell mother I think of her while lying here and wish I had her to be with me in my last parting moments." An editorial note explains that the letter was written in pencil on the battlefield the paper "tinged with blood" and that the soldier died the following day linking the proclamation directly to the lived experience of wartime sacrifice.<br /> <br /> Issued at a turning point in the Civil War the publication captures the intersection of emancipation policy military necessity and public communication in the Union states. The inclusion of both the proclamation and firsthand testimony from the battlefield demonstrates how questions of slavery citizenship and national survival were experienced simultaneously at the level of policy and individual life. Newspapers such as this served as primary vehicles through which federal decisions reached civilian audiences shaping understanding of the war's aims and consequences. Small edge tears and light foxing present not affecting text. Overall very good. unknown
