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

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

189223670New Brunswick New Jersey: David Clark 355 George St. 1892. Cabinet card portrait by 19th century New Jersey photographer David Clark 1825 - 1902. " In 1852 Clark took over Vail's gallery on Peace Street where he remained until relocating probably in 1863 to King Block Commerce Square. There he continued until 1891 at which time he moved to George Street. In 1851 Clark exhibited a few very fine daguerreotypes including a highly praised portrait of a lady at the first World's Fair at the Crystal Palace in London. At the New Jersey State Fair in 1857 he was awarded the prize for the best daguerreotypes in the state. Clark did a large portrait business but he also did other kinds of work including now rare stereographic views of New Brunswick. His career of fifty years spanned important developments in photographic technology so his work is found in a variety of formats and techniques; the most commonly seen today are cartes-de-visite. Clark died in 1902; soon thereafter Isaac S. Van Derveer 1880-1975 was operating at Clark's last location and may have acquired his negatives. A collection of Van Derveer negatives including a few that may be Clark's are now at Special Collections Rutgers University New Brunswick " ref. 2010 Saretzky Nineteenth Century New Jersey Photographers; photo is of a well-dressed & groomed young gentleman sitter not named; approx. 4 1/4" x 6 1/2" overall size; front of mount card with the D.
