MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT TRANSMITTING A REPORT FROM THE GOVERNOR AND PRESIDING JUDGE OF THE TERRITORY OF MICHIGAN RELATIVE TO THE STATE OF THAT TERRITORY

1805WRCAM38811Washington: A. & G. Way 1805. 16pp. Dbd. Near fine. The appeal of Michigan Territory governor William Hull and territorial judge August Woodward to Congress requesting action from them on the deplorable conditions of the proposed capital in Detroit and the status of several peoples found to be inhabiting the territory. The official government of Michigan was set to begin on June 30 1805 but when the Governor arrived he found Detroit nearly entirely destroyed by fire and numerous people both squatting on the ruins and dispersed throughout the nearby area including into the British territory. Hull and Woodward claim that the various treaties signed with the British do not clarify who has proper claim to the land and they add that the continuance of an indulgence for the Wiandot Indians to stay in Maguaga and Brown's town remains in question. They tentatively propose that Congress might make citizens of the Wiandot to settle the matter permanently. An excellent and concise history of the situation in Michigan at the time. Quite rare with OCLC and Shaw & Shoemaker together locating only five copies. STREETER MICHIGAN 6681. SABIN 48755. SHAW & SHOEMAKER 9574. OCLC 21062292. A. & G. Way unknown books

Michigan Central Railroad / Baldwin Locomotive Works. Baldwin & Whitney. Baldwin Matthias 1791 1866; Whitney Asa 1794 18ABAA

EARLY CENTRAL RAIL ROAD Of MICHIGAN ALs From BALDWIN & WHITNEY To T. W. WELLS PRESIDENT Of The BOARD Of INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. Philadelphia. October 13 1842

184228532Philadelphia 1842. White wove paper. Fold lines; slight loss to second leaf where separated from wax seal not affecting text; minor ink smudge to first page; light soiling to last page. VG overall. Bifolium folded to make a self-composed envelope. 3 full pages of text; wax seal address with Philadelphia postmark and short notation in a different hand to verso of second leaf. 9-7/8" x 7-5/8" Revealing early correspondence from the then still-young company of Baldwin & Whitney to T. W. Wells President of the Board of Internal Improvements for the Michigan Central Rail Road alluding to an ongoing payment dispute for two engines. Baldwin & Whitney an early incarnation of what would later be known as the Baldwin Locomotive Works was struggling to recover from the financial hardships of the Panic of 1837 as well as to expand to meet rapidly increasing demand; the Central Railroad too was in the midst of ongoing financial woes and transfers of ownership. The dispute seems to have been a somewhat protracted one as the letter references several prior correspondences with Mr. Wells dating back to June 14th. Although initially quite firm and apparently seeking to address specific imputations from Mr. Wells -- "we would beg leave to state that we do not pretend that there is any difficulty in arriving at a conclusion as to when the two engines alluded to should be paid for" -- the tone soon turns concilliatory admitting that there may have been some lack of clarity regarding the terms of payment thus allowing for alternate interpretations of the contract. Nevertheless the payment was obviously needed: "Our want of money is such however that we have authorized Mr. Briscoe to settle the whole account on such terms as we trust will be satisfactory to you and which under our present circumstances would be preferable to us --." One Jarvis S. Wyckoff of New York is referenced as an involved party although it is not entirely clear in what respect as well as items under the charge of Mr. Briscoe "which we trust will arrive safely and in time to answer the purpose for which they were intended." A bill for $541.50 worth of parts follows the salutation and includes "2 brauk brake Axles Larger Size 3rd claps $175 - $350 2 pair brick wheels - - - - 190 Cartage to Wharf - 1.50." In 1842 both of Matthias Baldwin's partners George Hufty and George Vail withdrew from the partnership. Asa Whitney joined soon after and the business became Baldwin & Whitney though this partnership too would be quite brief; Whitney would later become one of the biggest proponents of the Transcontinental Railroad. Although highly renowned and with no shortage of orders the company continued to struggle with finances for several years. By 1845 the company would simply be M. W. Baldwin and was so inundated with orders that they were building 20 engines per year and had backorders for at least as many. Historical Society of Pennsylvania Baldwin Locomotive Works Records The Detroit and St. Joseph Railroad was chartered in 1831 began construction in 1836 and had to be bailed out by the State of Michigan in 1837. The company was then renamed the Central Railroad of Michigan but by 1840 it too was nearly out of money. On May 25 1842 Detroit's Democratic Free Press ran an editorial by T. W. Wells "Acting Commissioner Int. Imp." rebutting charges of mismanagment of the Central Railroad and citing its many benefits for the state. The railroad would be transferred to private ownership again in 1846; the line to Chicago rather than St. Joseph was finally completed in 1852. An advertisement in Railway Locomotives and Cars Volume 10 1840 includes a blurb from Benjamin Briscoe Superintendent of Motive Power Central Michigan proclaiming his trust in what were then Baldwin Huft & Vale engines: "We have two engines manufactured by others but we can only place confidence while running in yours and I believe them superior to any manufactured in this country or in Europe." All in all an interesting documentary record of the negotiations and financial struggles that created the United States railroad system and of the early years of what would become Baldwin Locomotive Works. unknown books

drop-title Resolutions of the legislature of Michigan in favor of expunging a certain resolution from the Journal of the Senate of the United States. February 2 1837. Laid on the table and ordered to be printed.

183712751Washington 1837. 8vo. 3 pp. The Michigan state Senate and House argue in favor of expunging the censure resolution against President Andrew Jackson from the Senate Journal and instruct the state's U.S. Senators to vote in favor of the move. On 28 March 1834 Clay's anti-Jackson coalition in the Senate censured Jackson for assuming power not conferred by the Constitution by moving to withdraw federal deposits from the bank dismissing the Secretary of the Treasury for not carrying out this executive decision and for refusing to hand over a paper he had read to his cabinet relating to that issue. Three years later on 16 January 1837 with the Democrats having regained power in the Senate the censure was removed from the Senate Journal with great fanfare. The removal of the censure is here characterized as "an act of justice to the venerable Chief Magistrate whose character it unjustly assails and as erasing from the permanent history of the country a stain upon its legislative character." Government document: 24th Congress 2d Session. 128. Removed from a nonce volume; leaves separating; two holes in inner margin touching just a couple of letters. Lower right corner folded.
