Ajouter au panierNo Binding. Etat : Very Good. Original publisher's beige paper pamphlet. Formerly bound. No date, circa 1864. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2." Four pages, complete. Pages are very clean and intact except for a small dampstain at bottom edges, age toning, and chipping and splitting on spine. A Very Good copy. This is No. 64--Part 3 in a series o…f tracts by the Loyal Publication Society, a pro-Union, New York-based organization that was founded in early 1863 after the Union Army had suffered a series of losses in the American Civil War. The Society's purpose was to distribute pro-Union articles in order to boost morale among Union soldiers and the general public. This pamphlet contains the printed extracts of a letter and a speech by Union Generals John E. Wool (1784-1869) and John A. Logan (1826-1886), respectively. Following this is a brief extract from letter written by a Union soldier named "G. F." The pamphlet begins with Wool's letter which he originally wrote to J. A. Griswold. In his letter, Wool pointedly criticizes George B. McClellan for his military performance during the Civil War. His critique reads, in part, "[T]he goal was within the reach of George B. McClellan, but he knew not how to grasp it. . He neither comprehended the value of time, nor the advantages of prompt action and celerity of movement. His encamping in the swamps of the river Warwick, and the mud in front of Yorktown, for a month besieging the place, permitting its rebel garrison to be increased . and then allowing them to escape from Yorktown unobserved . With advantages that few generals ever possessed, he signally failed." In assessing McClellan's role as the Democratic presidential nominee for the 1864 election, Wool ardently opposes McClellan and the Democratic Party. Despite McClellan's apparent public rejection of the Democratic platform ("Chicago Platform"), Wool refers to the fact that McClellan actually approved of the Democratic platform in writing preceding the Democrats' Chicago Convention. He describes McClellan and the Democrats as traitors. Toward the end of the letter, Wool expresses sympathy for Stephen A. Douglas who, despite being a Democrat, was among the first to express his loyalty to the Union. Next is the extract from Logan's speech (this pamphlet defends Logan after accusations that he supported the Democrats' Chicago Platform). In his address, Logan clearly voices his opposition to the Chicago Platform. He acknowledges his reputation as a Douglas Democrat but defends his support of Douglas and quotes a letter by him. Douglas's main message in his letter is that the hope of compromise with the South was abandoned when it chose secession and that it is of upmost importance to defend the Constitution and the Union regardless of party politics. Logan contends that Douglas, if he were still alive, would maintain those pro-Union beliefs and says he shares Douglas's principles. Logan then notes how he opposed Abraham Lincoln's candidacy in the 1860 election but now ardently states his support for Lincoln in the 1864 election. Logan says he supports Andrew Jackson's principles regarding the preservation of the Union and likewise supports Lincoln for defending the Union. Logan concludes, "I have but one choice to make between the Constitution, the Union and its heroes, on one side, and their defamers, on the other; I will act with no party who is not for my country, and must refuse my support to the nominees of the Chicago Convention." In his letter, G. F. writes about how angry he is after reading about the Chicago Platform and the Democrats' call for peace during the war. The following is an extract from his letter: "Only to think of a cowardly set of villains and traitors gathering together and making proposals of peace with a gang of outlaws, when any man of common sense and courage . can see that they are about giving up the contest, knowing themselves that they are beaten as badly as any people ever was in the whole world.".

Ajouter au panierBroadside verse, 7-3/4" x 9-1/2." Forty-one rhymed couplets printed in two columns within an ornamental border. Dated, at the end, in type, "Philadelphia, December 5th, 1861." Very Good. "Written on the occasion of McClellan's replacement of Winfield Scott as General in Chief of the Army" [Williams College description]. "A poem…in praise of Gen. John Ellis Wool" [Huntington]. The poem begins, "The love of country is a holy love, / Approved and smiled on by the God above. . ." The author is critical of the decision to choose McClellan. The correct choice was Wool, a career Army officer distinguished as Inspector-General of the Army, and for service in the War of 1812, the Mexican War, and the Civil War. The oldest general on either side of the Civil War, the 77-year-old Wool commanded the Department of the East. "Choose for your Chieftain one who has been tried, / The place is Wool's, it is his legal right. . . We know not what will be McClellan's fate, / But we do know thou wilt be ever great." OCLC 64662122 [2- AAS, Williams], 960065926 [1- Huntington], 83346497 [1- NYS Lib.] as of March 2024. Not in Wolf.

Wool writes that he "has recently been informed that you are about, or have already agreed, to sell your house and lot, on which I presume I have a mortgage, to E. Wilson Esqr. App…rehensive that you may have been induced to the agreement, under the expectation that I should indulge Mr. Wilson in the payment of the mortgage, I conceive it my duty to inform you, that, when Mr. Wilson suggested to me the idea of purchasing the property in anticipation of such indulgence, I expressly stated to him it could not be granted and that I could not consent to any arrangement other than that which existed between you and myself." Wool acknowledges that "the subject is a delicate one, and relates to a family nearly connected with Mrs Wool." After his signature, Wool appends a postscript, stating that he "should be pleased to receive a line from you on the subject of this letter." [With:] 5-3/8" x 7-1/4" engraved portrait of General John E. Wool (toning, staining to edges). New York: Johnson, Fry & Co., 1858. Facsimile signature beneath engraving.

Ajouter au panierNo Binding. Etat : Very Good. John E. Wool (1784-1844) was an officer in the U.S. Army from the War of 1812 through the American Civil War, obtaining the rank of Brigadier General in 1841. In the 1820s and early 1830s, the Army sent him to Europe to learn about others' military organization and operations. Lewis Cass (1782-1866)… was an American military man and politician. In 1832, he was Secretary of War for President Jackson. This lengthy letter has superb content regarding the conclusion of the Siege of Antwerp. Wool begins, "I hasten to transmit to you the enclosed correspondence between General Chasse and Marshal Gerard," then transcribes an extract from a message dated December 24, Antwerp. In part: "The conditions of the capitulation exceed all that could have been expected; the Marshal has obtained everything that he could have obtained after a victorious assault. The garrison is to file off with drums at their head, and after having laid down their arms. surrender themselves prisoners of war." Wool goes on to offer his own opinions on Chasse's defense of the citadel, mentions an engraving of the citadel that he enclosed with the letter, and ends with friendly good wishes for Cass's family. Written on a full sheet of 9" x 14 3/4" paper, folded in half. The first and third pages of the letter are presented in the image here. A few small separations to the center fold, two of which are repaired on the interior with archival tape, one stain from an old tape repair, and a bit of light staining to the fold. The three pages of text are not affected at all, and are in fantastic shape. Signed by Author(s).

Ajouter au panierFolio sheet, folded to 4pp, about 25 lines of ink manuscript on each pages [1] and [2]. Final leaf is blank. One archivally repaired short closed tear [no loss], Very Good. When he wrote this informative Letter, Brigadier General Wool, the Army's Inspector - General, was on official business in Washington. During his long career…-- which included service in the War of 1812, the Mexican War, and the Civil War-- he earned a well-deserved reputation as an extraordinarily capable soldier and organizer. Here he updates his friend Baylies on the feud between President Jackson and his erstwhile supporter, Senator [and former Judge] Hugh White of Tennessee. White, who began his political career as a Jacksonian-- he succeeded Jackson in the U.S. Senate after Jackson lost the 1824 presidential election-- became disenchanted with Jackson's lust for enhanced presidential power. White joined Henry Clay and the new Whig opposition. When White voted against spending three million dollars on fortifications, a measure which Jackson supported, White made a bitter enemy of the President, who vowed to do whatever was necessary to thwart White's presidential bid in 1836. Wool also discusses the status of the French Spoliations negotiation: France had promised to pay the United States an instalment of $25,000,000 but had not yet done so. The complete letter reads as follows: Washington 9 March 1835 My Dear Baylies, I received your kind favor from Baltimore and thank you for it. Since you & your agreeable companions left us we have felt very much inclined to pull up stakes and follow you. It has I assure you been very loansome [sic]. Indeed we have missed you very much. To add to our gloom the weather has been worse since you left us, if possible, than it was before. By the Globe of to day you will perceive that he intends to assail Judge White. The cast vote of the judge over the rejection of the three millions will not be forgotten. It was the unkind cut, and shews in what direction he and his friends intend to go. The campaign is open, but what the result will be I am unable to say. I shall remain a mere looker on. This morning we had an [?] with dispatches, but I believe they contain nothing of importance. It is said that our affairs with France do not appear any worse than they did. We have a report that private letters say that the French chambers will vote the twenty five millions with a proviso, that is, to be paid in case we have taken no war like steps toward France. If you are still with Mr and Mrs Gorham, remember both Mrs. Wool & myself to them in the kindest manner- & for yourself believe me always your friend. John E. Wool.
