Description
[DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER]. Bound Volume, Daily National Intelligencer, Washington, D.C., January 1 to December 31, 1823. Approximately 312 issues, including one 4 pp. The only issues lacking are December 2 and December 3 (the days pertaining to the Monroe Doctrine). An issue of note, May 30, 1823, reports on the First Intersectional Horse Race, which took place on May 27, 1823. Eclipse represented the North and Henry represented the South. "The third heat won also by eclipse by four lengths- and of course he took the purse of 40,000 dollars. It was a tight race, certainly, and must have afforded the highest degree of interest to those who witnessed it." Historical Background The Daily National Intelligencer was founded as the National Intelligencer and Washington Advertiser by Samuel Harrison Smith in 1800. The paper became the tri-weekly National Intelligencer in 1810 and became the Daily in 1813. In its early years, it served as the voice of the Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and J. Q. Adams administrations. Its editors, Joseph Gales, Jr., and William W. Seaton, were well known and associated with the National Intelligencer from 1813 until its demise in 1869. The Intelligencer served as the voice of the federal government until the election of Andrew Jackson, when it switched to the Whig party. The Intelligencer was primarily a political newspaper, though it did move sometimes between being "friendly" to administrations and taking a more neutral approach. Like most political newspapers in the partisan press period, the Intelligencer always relied heavily on lucrative Congressional printing contracts for its financial support. The paper was noted for its full coverage of Congress and other government information, including proclamations, notices and advertisements. Seaton and Gales employed shorthand reporters, including themselves occasionally, to take down verbatim reports of Congressional debates and speeches. Because of its depth of political coverage, the Intelligencer was one of the more popular exchange newspapers during the early part of the 19th century. Many other newspapers took their coverage of national politics and government directly from the Intelligencer. Condition Original marbleized paper covers and leather spine. Spine in poor condition, separated from many of the bound issues. "Com Ins Co, Salem, Mas" written in ink on the first page of each issue. Bookplates of the Essex Institute on inside of front cover.

This issue of The Balance and Columbian Repository features Jefferson's proclamation regarding the British attacks on American vessels, several articles debating the President's stance on the matter, an article about Aaron Burr's trial, toasts given in honor of Independence Day, and an address to the Medical Society of Columbia County. [THOMAS JEFFERSON]. Newspaper. The Balance and Columbian Repository. Hudson, New York: Harry Croswell, July 14, 1807. 8 pp., 9½ x 11¾ in.Jefferson's July 2 proclamation on the state of affairs with England: "During the wars which, for some time, have unhappily prevailed among the powers of Europe, the United States of America, firm in their principles of peace have endeavored by justice, by a regular discharge of all their National & Social duties, & by every friendly office their situation has admitted, to maintain with all the belligerents: their Accustomed relations of friendship, hospitality, & commercial intercourse…& this too, amidst a Constant recurrence of Acts of insubordination to the laws, of violence to the persons, & of trespasses on the property of our Citizens, committed by Officers of one of the belligerent parties received among us. In truth these abuses of the laws of hospitality have, with few exceptions, become habitual to the commanders of British armed vessels hovering on our coasts, and frequenting our harbors." (p5/c3-p6/c2). Additional Content An article against the suspension of habeas corpus in the Aaron Burr situation: "The suspension of the privilege of the writ of Habeas Corpus was not only unnecessary, when it was proposed, but I assert never can be necessary...." (p4/c1-p5/c3). An article on Jefferson's upcoming speech: "This is not the time for temporizing measures. We know enough of and have suffered sufficient from the British government...." (p3/c1-2). An article on Jefferson's sending messages on the ship Revenge to London regarding the attacks on American vessels: "Send the Revenge! The Revenge should be kept at home – Revenge, just and reasonable, should be retained for our own use. Congress should be convened – intercourse suspended – an embargo laid, and then, if England wants to negotiate, let her send her ministers to us...." (p3/c2-3). A section on the attacks by British ships on American vessels: "To plunder some of our citizens, murder others, and then audaciously and most provokingly to laugh at the rest for the DEFENCELESS STATE OF OUR NATION...." (p3/c3). Toasts celebrating Independence Day: "Toasts, drank by the federalists of this city, at Mr. Stocking's, on the late anniversary of our independence: - 1. The Day. 2. The memory of Washington. 3. The memory of Hamilton…11. Wilkinson and Burr – May traitors be detected and punished...." (p7/c2-3). An address delivered to the Medical Society of Columbia County on June 2, by its Vice President Thomas Brodhead: "The subject of fever is one which has engaged the attention of all ages, and I believe I may safely say of all nations; it is one which has drawn the united efforts of almost all the writers on medical subjects; and it is one which, I am persuaded, is not yet sufficiently well understood." (p1/c1-p3/c1). The Balance and Columbian Repository (1801-1807) was a weekly newspaper published in Hudson, New York. The publishers were Ezra Sampson (1749-1823), George Chittenden (1776-1845), and Harry Croswell (1778-1858). It contained moral and religious essays, poetry, agricultural news, literary notices, speeches and addresses, proceedings of the New York legislature and Congress, legal notices, and advertisements. One of the newspaper's claims to fame is providing in May 1806 one of the first definitions of a "cock-tail" in response to a reader's query: "a stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters." Condition Good, slightly tanned, minor water staining at top margin, minor scattered foxing. Two pinhead sized hole on page 1-2 resulting in the loss of several letters of text. Dis-bound.
