Early ABRAHAM LINCOLN House of Representatives Address 1849 Washington Newspaper

Description: Early ABRAHAM LINCOLN House of Representatives Address 1849 Washington Newspaper Offered is an original, collectible newspaper (NOT a copy/reproduction): DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., Feb. 21, 1849 * Early in Abraham Lincoln's political career * Addresses United States Congress Page 3 has much reporting from the "House of Representatives" which includes mention of when Abraham Lincoln spoke on the floor. The report notes: "Mr. Lincoln, by unanimous consent, presented joint resolutions of the Legislature of the state of Illinois, asking a grant of land to aid in the construction of certain railroads...". This was Abraham Lincoln when he was serving just two years as a Representative from Illinois. In 1846 Lincoln ran for the United States House of Representatives and won. While in Washington he became known for his opposition to the Mexican War and to slavery. He served only one term, from March, 1847 thru March, 1849, so Congressional reports with mention of Abraham Lincoln are quite scarce. Lincoln returned home after his term and resumed his law practice. Quite rare to find period mentions of Lincoln--albeit rather inconspicuous--from long before he would become a national figure. He was just 40 years old at the time. The back page has an interesting report: "A Female Mission To California" concerning: "...a project of taking with her a company principally composed of female passengers...believing that the presence of women would be one of the surest checks upon many of the evils that are apprehended there...". Also a very brief note: "From Santa Fe" which announces that: "Kit Carson arrived at Santa Fe on the 1st November, on his way to California." Four pages, nice condition.

Links to Archival Storage Options & Certificates of Authenticity Are Below! Historical reports may be beautiful or ugly, but they are always informative. While we rejoice in the beautiful (heroic, discovery, amazing feats, etc.), we at Historys Newsstand also offer "the ugly" for we are determined to learn from the wrongs of the past - understanding, to do so, we must be willing to look these wrongs directly in the face and shout "NO MORE!". It is for this reason many Black Americans collect historic slave ads, Jews collect reports regarding the Holocaust, women collect coverage of the Womens Suffrage Movement, etc.. If you find any to be offensive, we agree! Hopefully this is an indication we are moving in the right direction. Domestic Shipping Policy... For this specific item, A U.S. winner pays $10.00 S&H.
