184840142Trenton New Jersey 1848. 2-1/2 pages entirely in ink manuscript on pale blue stationery 8" x 10." At head of letter: a printed presidential sticker 1" x 2-1/2": "For President Zachary Taylor. For Vice President Millard Fillmore." Very Good.<br /> <br /> The Letter reflects Whigs' uncertainty about the direction of their Party. The most prominent Whigs Webster and Clay had failed to win the Presidency. Zachary Taylor a heroic general whose political opinions were a mystery seemed a better choice.<br /> "I have received the letter which you addressed to me on behalf of the Whig Executive Committee of the two Houses of Congress desiring information of the state of public opinion in this state in regard to the candidate for the Presidency & other political topics which now interest the Whig Party. I have shown it to my associates upon the Whig Central Committee of this state and conferred with them upon the subjects of your inquiry.<br /> "In regard to the Presidential candidate there is much division of opinion among the Whigs of New Jersey. Many of the most active and intelligent among them in every section of the state think that our candidate should be one whom we have never yet presented to the people. . . The minds of these persons are strongly turned towards Gen. Taylor.<br /> "Others equally active and intelligent and equally devoted to the Whig Party think otherwise and their entire hopes and affections centre in Mr. Clay whose nomination they ardently desire and with whom they feel assured of triumph. The minds of others rest on Gen. Scott tho this class is by no means as numerous as either of the others.<br /> "We confess ourselves unable to decide. . . Our State Convention to appoint delegates to the National Whig Convention will meet on 24th inst. and we await such further intelligence as the representations of the different counties in that body will bring us. . . The views which I have expressed are those of a majority of our Committee."<br /> Wilson's correspondent was Congressman Hugh White of New York State elected as a Whig to Congress 1845-1851. unknown

18643721N.p. but most likely Newark N.J. 1864. Good plus. Letterpress broadside printed in two columns 16.5 x 10 inches. Old folds small chip to top outer margin two tiny holes affecting just a few letters. A very rare Unionist broadside supporting the re-election of Abraham Lincoln in the critical presidential contest of 1864. The present broadside was authored in early June 1864 by New Jersey Republican Party stalwart Horace N. Congar an editor diplomat and politician who was at that time serving as U.S. consul to Hong Kong. In this rather stirring broadside which Congar writes from his position in Hong Kong he lauds "the thousands of earnest faithful men who are giving freely of their blood and treasure to the suppression of this infamous rebellion" and "the noble daring the undaunted courage and the determined valour of our brave soldiers of Freedom" and urges that "in November New Jersey will stand in the unbroken rank of States giving their verdict for the Party of Union." He also spends considerable space discussing the clear role of "the social moral and political evil" of slavery as the precipitating event of the Civil War. Congar writes that "the evil it has wrought was as natural as the poisoned breath of the Upas tree." Stated clearly Congar writes "I heartily rejoice at the destruction of slavery" and looks forward to the time when "I shall tread my native land with a newer life if within its boundless domain there shall not be heard the clanking chain or the cry of the suffering and the oppressed."<br /> <br /> "Horace Newton Congar 1817-1893 was a radical republican politician during the midnineteenth century and served on both the state and national levels. Mr. Congar had a great love for his party and hope for its success which is reflected in his writing . Horace Newton Congar was born in Newark on July 31 1817. He married Isabell Reeves and had two children; a daughter Ella and a son Horace Junior. Horace Congar taught school for a while and he studied law in his leisure time. He was admitted to the New Jersey State Bar in 1847 and later Cornelius Boice of Plainfield and Lewis Grove of Newark were his law partners. Congar was a friend of the abolitionist cause and he was one of the founders of the antislavery Free Soil Party in New Jersey. The party slogan ‘Free Soil Free Speech Free Labor and Free Men’ basically described the party platform. Congar later became a delegate from New Jersey to the Republican National Convention in 1848 which was held in Buffalo. He supported the nomination of Van Buren for president and Adams for vice-president" - New Jersey Historical Society.<br /> <br /> A rare and unusual Lincoln campaign broadside with just two physical copies in OCLC at AAS and Middlebury College. unknown
186440121Trenton 1864. Broadside 8-1/2" x 11-1/4." Addressed in ink at head of text to "Hon. Bowers Esq." Dated in typescript "Trenton September 8 1864." Signed in type at the end by W.S. Johnson S.S. Stryker Jr. and I.D. James members of the Committee on Campaign Documents. Some chipping at upper and lower blank edges. Light wear Good or so.<br /> <br /> The broadside lists 36 campaign pamphlets supporting the re-election of Abraham Lincoln and denouncing the "Copperhead Democrats." <br /> The stakes in the election could not be higher: "Hitherto parties have been divided upon questions of policy; but in the present contest the issue is boldly made up between the maintenance of our Constitutional Government on the one hand and on the other of its base and cowardly surrender to more than half vanquished treason armed in bloody array for its overthrow and the erection on its ruins of a despotism more odious than the world has tolerated in modern times."<br /> Not in Felcone.

183823980No place but Burlington Iowa 1838. Pen ink and watercolour map of Cumberland County with the properties of D. Parvin and D. Harris and numerous towns located the demarcation line between marsh and solid ground marked and the routes and names of all the main rivers and creeks shown some roads marked in pencil and the route between Salem Salem Co. and the tip of Cape May marked with a purple dotted line. An attractive map of Cumberland County in southern New Jersey.<br/> <br/>The Parvin property is identified as being on the southern bank of the Cohansey River in Fairfield Township. The Harris property is in adjoining Downe Township. These are the only two individual properties identified on the map suggesting that the map was either compiled for or by a member of the Parvin or Harris family. This map was loosely inserted in an 1838 edition of Bradford's Illustrated Atlas inscribed on the title "Theodore Sutton Parvin Burlington Iowa August 15/ 1838" and an examination of the map of New Jersey in the atlas shows that the Cumberland County area was squared up for enlargement. All of which gives a source and probable author of the map. Parvin has added some names and geographical features in addition to those shown on the Bradford engraved map. Theodore Sutton Parvin was born in Cedarville Cumberland County N. J. on January 15 1817; and died June 28 1901. He graduated at Woodward College Cincinnati in 1836; he studied law; was private secretary of Robert Lucas the first governor of the Iowa Territory and was the first librarian of that territory. Later he was librarian and professor in the Iowa State University; was a founder of the Iowa State Historical Society in 1857 and for the years 1863-65 was its corresponding secretary and editor. He was the founder in 1844 of the Iowa Masonic Library and through his exertions this library has its present building at Cedar Rapids. From its foundation until his death fifty-seven years he was its librarian. Collections of the Minnesota Historical Society 1905. vol.X part II p.871. unknown books
