Augusta, ME: Stevens & Sayward, Printers to the State, 1865. 14.5 x 22.7 cm. At the start of the last year of the Civil War, Governor Samuel Cony (1811-1870) who was elected Governor in 1863, gave this speech. Like his predecessors, he enthusiastically and very capably supported prosecution of the War and preservation of the Union. In this address he notes that bounties paid enlistees in the Army are causing the State to gain heavy debt; he talks about draft dodgers, and one brutal murder. He notes that after three years of war the armies of the Republic have lacked nothing for success but competent leaders, but praises Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and Thomas, and also Farragut and Winslow, who commanded USS Kearsarge when she sank CSS Alabama off Cherbourg, France. Paper booklet, cover worn, lightly soiled, good. . Catalogs: Civil War/History.

Description:
New York, NY: James O. Noyes, Publisher, 1860. 11.8 x 17.3 cm. "An inimitable burlesque on Yankeedom"" is the publisher's description of this 61-page fiction. Originally published in 1832, this small volume contains a Publisher's Preface dated Nov. 27, 1860, and asks reader, in order for text to be applicable to 1860, to read ""Secession"" for ""Nullification"". This is a rare little volume, dealing with States' rights, particularly the situation in South Carolina during the presidential election of 1832. South Carolina objected to the high protective tariffs put into effect by Northerners, and threatened to secede from the Union. In spite of the fact that the South had elected Andrew Jackson President in 1828, now South Carolina felt he wasn't doing enough to help the South, as it suffered through its own recession. Henry Clay managed to save the day; he managed to secure the passage of the Tariff Bill of 1833, and tariffs began to decrease. Paper on board with cloth tape binding, worn, with…

Description:
New York, NY: The Weekly Tribune, 1869. 48 x 64 cm. This whole paper is filled with spicy, tart commentary. Lengthy story furnished by member of the Cuban Junta�Secretary of State Hamilton Fish proposes good offices of the United States to effect settlement of civil war in Cuba. Captured Confederate Ram Atlanta, renamed Triumph, has been ostensibly purchased by Hayti (Haiti), but maybe by Cuban insurrectionists in order to attack Spanish warships. Blistering exchange of letters in this issue between General Benjamin Butler and Publisher Horace Greeley takes up about five long columns of type. Butler is for stringing up the leaders of the recent Rebellion; he calls West Point graduates (like R.E. Lee) and members of Congress from the South who fought for the South, ""Traitors"". Greeley eloquently opposes that, and suggests that Butler may have sought to curry favor with prospective negro voters. Text of Lecture on Pisciculture (Fish-raising) by Prof. Louis Agassiz. Nearly a full page is devoted to…
