ABRAHAM LINCOLN. RACISMABAA

Miscegenation or the Millennium of Abolitionism - Stirring Fear of Interracial Marriage Before 1864 Presidential Election

186425614The second in a series of four racist political cartoons published in 1864 by Bromley & Company which was closely affiliated with the Copperhead New York World newspaper. These prints sought to undermine Abraham Lincoln's chances for reelection by branding him as a "miscegenationist" and playing on white fears of "race-mixing." The cartoon scene pictures several interracial couples enjoying a day at the park eating ice cream discussing wedding plans and a woman's upcoming lecture. Two African American families have white employees a carriage driver and footmen and a babysitter.The only other example traced at auction brought $7800 in 2010. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. RACISM.Print. "Miscegenation or the Millennium of Abolitionism." Political Cartoon. New York: Bromley & Co. 1864. 1 p. 20Â¾ x 13â… in. American politics had long played on fears of sexual relationships between races. A powerful new word for "race-mixing" was coined in an anonymous December 1863 pamphlet entitled Miscegenation: The Theory of the Blending of the Races Applied to the American White Man and Negro published in New York. Purporting to advocate the virtues of the "blending of the white and black races on this continent" it was a literary forgery prepared by The World managing editor David Goodman Croly and reporter George Wakeman. The authors were unsuccessful in their attempt to trick President Lincoln into endorsing the work.At the far left of the image Abraham Lincoln declares "I shall be proud to number among my intimate friends any member of the Squash family especially the little Squashes." The African American woman to whom he is speaking replies "I'se 'quainted wid Missus Linkum I is washed far her 'fore de hebenly Miscegenation times was cum. Dont do nuffin now but gallevant 'round wid de white gem'men! he-ah! he-ah! he-ah!"Senator Charles Sumner says "Mr. President! Allow me the honor of introducing my very dear friend Miss Dinah Arabella Aramintha Squash." A white carriage driver complains in the background "Gla-a-ang there 240t! White driver white footmen niggers inside my heys! I wanted a situation when I took this one" while a black man in the carriage tells his companion "Phillis de_ah dars Sumner. We must not cut him if he is walking." A black woman at a table tells a white man with her "Ah! Horace its-its-its-bully 'specially de cream" and he replies "Ah! my dear Miss Snowball we have at last reached our political and social Paradise. Isn't it extatic"To the right are two couples embracing each a white woman and an African American man. The first white women tells her partner "Oh! You dear creature. I am so agitated! Go and ask Pa" to which he replies "Lubly Julia Anna name de day when Brodder Beecher shall make us one!" The second white woman says "Adolphus now you'll be sure to come to my lecture to morrow night won't you" to which he answers "I'll be there Honey on de front seat sure!" In the background are various immigrant minorities viewing the scene. One exclaims "Most hextwadinary! Aw neva witnessed the like in all me life if I did dem me!" and another adds "Mine Got vat a guntry vat a beebles!" An Irish girl complains "And is it to drag nagur babies that I left old Ireland Bad luck to me."Manton Marble the editor of The World collaborated with printmaker Bromley & Company to issue a series of four anti-Lincoln "Political Caricatures." The present example was the No. 2 in that series. No. 1 was "The Grave of the Union or Major Jack Downing's Dream"; No. 3 "The Abolition Catastrophe Or the November Smash-up"; and No. 4 "The Miscegenation Ball."Republicans responded by trying to turn the "miscegenation" charge against the Democrats. A Republican print "The Political "Siamese" Twins: The Offspring of Chicago Miscegenation" pictures McClellan and Pendleton joined together despite their very different ideas on ending the war.Although Abraham Lincoln won New York states' electoral votes in 1860 Stephen Douglas had carried New York City and its environs. Financial elites fearing that civil war would ruin business and recent immigrants fearing competition with free black labor supported Douglas. Lincoln's unpopularity in New York City during the Civil War was a factor in the deadly 1863 Draft Riots.In 1864 Lincoln again won the states' electoral votes while New York City favored his Democratic opponent McClellan. In fact Lincoln's majority dropped from 50136 votes in 1860 to only 7373 votes in 1864 with approximately 50000 more total votes cast than in 1860.Bromley and Company continued to sell the caricatures after the election as this January 1865 advertisement from an Ohio newspaper makes clear. Another advertisement assured purchasers that the set of four prints available for $1 were "sent on wooden rollers to insure safe carriage."The World 1860-1931 a daily independent newspaper was published in New York City. Alexander Cummings founded it as a religious Republican outlet in 1860. August Belmont and others purchased it in 1862 changing the editorial focus. With editor Manton Marble 1834-1917 The World soon became the country's leading Democratic newspaper. In 1864 Union authorities shut down The Worldand another paper for three days after they published forged documents purportedly written by Lincoln that were really part of a hoax to manipulate the price of gold. The paper actively supported George B. McClellan against Lincoln in 1864.ConditionFine for exhibit despite flaws.

LOT OF SIX LETTERS FROM ABRAHAM HOLMES TO WILLIAM BAYLIES AND FRANCIS BAYLIES JANUARY 19 1822 - APRIL 11 1834

183435602Rochester Boston MA 1834. A collection of six letters ranging in size from 8-1/2" x 11" to 8-1/2" x 12-3/4" five complete and one partial letter. All in ink manuscript on unlined paper. Old folds light toning occasional light foxing two on untrimmed paper. Most are addressed on final blank page and have wax seal remnants with the usual tear where wax was torn open occasional loss to a few letters. Overall Very Good. Abraham Holmes was a Massachusetts legislator and attorney. Opposing ratification of the Constitution he was allied with the Anti-Federalist Otis family of Barnstable and Freeman family of Sandwich. He was an Anti-Federalist delegate from Rochester MA to the Massachusetts Ratifying Convention of 1788. He served as Sergeant in Capt. Barnabas Doty's company Col. Ebenezer Sproat's regiment during the Revolutionary War. He was admitted to the Plymouth County Bar in April 1800 at the age of forty-six. Though he had no formal legal education his admission to the Bar was permitted in consideration of his respectable official character learning and abilities and on the condition that he study three months in an attorney's office. He served as president of the Court of Sessions prior to his bar admission practiced law in Rochester until the early 1830s was a member of the State Constitutional Convention of 1820 and a member of the Executive Council from 1821 to 1823. Davis William T.: BENCH AND BAR OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS IN TWO VOLUMES VOLUME II. Boston: 1895. Page 235; Daughters of the American Revolution: LINEAGE BOOK VOLUME 12 1900 Page 15. William Baylies 1776-1865 and Francis Baylies 1783-1852 were brothers and partners in a Massachusetts law firm. William served as a U.S. Representative from Massachusetts in 1809 1813-1817 and 1833-1835; was a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1808-1809 1812-1813 and 1820-1821; and a member of the Massachusetts Senate from 1825-1826 and 1830-1831. Francis was a Congressman from 1821-1827; a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1827-1832 and in 1835; and the United States Charge d'Affaires Argentina in 1832. Holmes's Letters are as follows: 1 Letter to Francis Baylies Member of Congress dated at Boston January 19 1822. Holmes then member of the Massachusetts Executive Council awaits reports of the State legislative committees the incorporation of Boston "which will serve to procrastinate the session" the "suspense of the acceptance of office of the Judge of the Municipal Court" and issues such as criminal trials and the death sentence. "We pass our time here in Boston. the frequent application for appointments of both proper and improper candidates is rather an uncomfortable circumstance; but not so distressing as in affixing the time when convicts shall live no longer. to determine whether a convict shall die or not. It is probable we shall have the trial of both soon as there has been three capital convictions since I was here; one for murder and two for highway robbery. Those trials I attended; a Mr. Simmons formerly of Taunton as I am told managed the Defence; I can not record him as possessing great oratorical abilities but for integrity of arrangement and strength and argument perhaps no man of his years stands higher." Boston was incorporated March 4 1822 and the same year the Boston Police Court for criminal cases and Justice's Court for the County of Suffolk for civil claims were established. 2 Holmes's Letter to Francis Baylies dated at Boston March 28 1822. Holmes notes that the State legislative session is coming to a close. He anticipates orations which would "cause Tully to wish that he hadn't ever learned to speak; and all this for the good of the Nation." 3 Letter to William Baylies Counsellor at Law dated at Rochester MA October 24 1828 docketed October 25. An interesting three pages for lawyers anyway written in small yet legible hand on legal size paper. Holmes discusses with "great anxiety" and detail strategies and implications of the case entitled Rounseville Spooner versus Davis et ux. presentation of which had just concluded in the Massachusetts Supreme Court. Holmes and Baylies had represented Rounseville. Judge Wilde issued his decision on the following day October 25th. The case involved land in Fairhaven conveyed by Alden Spooner to Walter Spooner which later descended to Humphrey Davis's wife; but Alden Spooner later conveyed it again to Rounseville Spooner. What will be done in the case Holmes says "God only knows." Judge Wilde's Opinion reported at page 147 of Pickering's Reports Boston: 1830 gives the victory to Holmes and Baylies. 4 Letter to William Baylies Nov. 21 1828. Holmes discusses his excitement over a favorable verdict. "I rode into the yard. Mr. Bassett's son met me and informed me that the verdict of the jury was in favour of our client. Do you think I was sorry My heart jumped to my throat and with some difficulty I prevented my immortal spirit from bursting thro' the clay tenement. I am glad now that we did not use Joshua Vincent's Deposition for they would have objected and the point next word illegible for the Whole Court./ The next enquiry is Compensation. But I must stop with my hearty congratulations." Docketed on final page in part "Thomas v. D. & wife Nov. 21 1828." 5 Letter to William Baylies dated Rochester MA April 11 1834. A lengthy poignant letter discussing his advanced age and retirement. He no longer views political issues with the same interest; despite his overall good health he is troubled with lameness and currently lives with his son and his son's wife. "Some of my old customers are not willing to apply to anyone else." 6 Partial Letter to Francis Baylies December 1821. ". I dread the power of some of your colleagues. Mr. Saltonstall whose abilities are competent to make white and black synonymous terms I understand -which God forbid is strongly intrenched in a. Battery of Bankruptcy. unknown books
