185343806Monticello NY 1853. Very good lightly browned edges and folds. 2 pp. bifolium 1 sheet. 8 x 10 inches. The first letter written prior to the convention is dated Monticello August 30 1853 from John C. Holly who had been elected Sheriff the prior year is addressed to "Friend James K. Gardner" 1805-1860 one of the most prominent citizens of Barryville which he help found; in 1852 he was elected to the New York State Legislature and held numerous other offices. Holly complains about the jockeying before the convention: "The time has arrived when the friends of the several candidates throughout the county were up and doing and the love of contention appears to be this fall who shall go to the Senate and it appears to be determination of the General and his aids to have the doctor on the course and if he cannot do it in one way why in some other. The game appears to be this that the doctor is to get as many delegates throughout the county as he can and the General as many as he can and when they come to the convention all go in for the doctor. Now Lord George W. Lord prominent Monticello lawyer is a candidate for nomination and have understood that you was and I think the best way is to write your forces. Lord is not in any way anxious for the nomination and would rather throw his votes in with you . than in the hands of the General." The second letter was written after the convention by Archibald C. Niven 1803-1882 a Surrogate of Sullivan County New York from 1828 to 1840 Adjutant General of the New York State Militia in 1844 Democrat to the 29th United States Congress 1845-1847 and District Attorney of Sullivan County 1847-1850 most likely also to Gardner though there is no salutation and it is marked dpl. on September 10th 1853; "it would seem that Lord had determined to be Senator & among other things asserted that he had a letter from you & that you were in his favor. This of course was unpalatable to those who are unfavorable to Lord for he was defeated at our town Caucus by a decided majority. Well the county convention . and as I am told only 10 towns were represented making 30 delegates and as Col. Tremain & others were determined to go for me they counted and found I had 17. Woodbridge has said or at least a letter was received here from Albany stating that he had there said that he could or would control your vote & had done so during the session. All this excited prejudices and free-soilers with Curtis Major James C. Curtis at the head set to work & by trickery." unknown books

Good. <br/><br/> A bitter attack on New York's newly enacted Sunday closing law arguing that the legislature does not possess "one particle of authority to enact any law which might directly or indirectly give a preference to the religious creed of any sect to the disparagement of any other or in any manner to infringe the right of any individual to the unrestrained and peaceable enjoyment of his opinions on the subject of religion." The unidentified Memorialists also object to exemption of church property from taxation and disqualification of witnesses who do not profess a religious creed.

176427759New York: Printed by John Holt 1764. 4to. Disbound with scattered spotting. The complete copy is paginated 2 iv 68 pp. Our copy lacks the half title half the title leaf which obliterates 'The Report.Tried' and the final page title page and final page supplied in facsimile. Else Good. <br/><br/> The case is significant for its assertion of the primacy of the jury system in colonial America. Publication occurred to emphasize to New Yorkers "the pernicious Consequences" of British interference with local juries "by a Method entirely new unconstitutional and illegal."<br/> Forsey had sued Cunningham for an assault and battery; a jury of their peers found for Forsey and assessed damages against Cunningham. Unhappy with the large amount of damages Cunningham sought an appeal. He did not claim that the trial court committed any errors of law; he simply argued that the jury had misconstrued the facts. Allowing the appeal would have diminished the role of the jury in favor of appellate judges' assertions of their royal prerogatives. Nevertheless Lieutenant Governor Cadwalader Colden permitted Cunningham to appeal. New Yorkers in 1764 already angered by British control of local affairs found this interference with the role of the jury intolerable. They challenged Colden's decision to allow the appeal; in late 1765 the New York Assembly agreed. <br/>Shipton & Mooney 41438. Bristol B2464. NAIP w021834 6 including the AAS copy which is defective.
