[Translation.] Catania, May 11, 1865. The Workingmen’s Union of Catania, Sicily, to the American people. Brothers of America: The capture of Richmond was the triumph of civilization over barbarism, and we rejoice at the restoration of peace in a great nation that is our friend. But the news of Mr. Lincoln’s assassination has sent a thrill of horror and indignation through the civilized world, and its echo has penetrated deeply into our hearts. Americans: The Workingmen’s Union, of Catania, joins this day in the sentiments of sorrow felt for you by all free people. Accept our congratulations, our best wishes, and our fervent hopes that the national will may complete the work of peace begun by a great citizen, to restore to America her former splendor and great prosperity.

At a large meeting of work-people, in the Leeds Working Men’s Hall, on Thursday evening, April 27, held to hear a dramatic reading, opportunity was taken to show the deep feeling of sympathy felt among the working classes for their brethren in America on the sad loss of President Lincoln. The following resolution was unanimously carried, with a request that the American consul in Leeds would kindly forward it to the proper quarter: Resolved, This meeting desires to express its deep and heartfelt sympathy with the people of the United States on the terrible bereavement they have just experienced in the assassination of President Lincoln, and its feeling of horror at the cowardly murder by which they have been deprived of a sound leader, a wise counsellor, a beloved friend, and an honest man. In Abraham Lincoln the working classes of this country have long had the fullest confidence, as the uncompromising enemy of the detestable institution of slavery; and although recent victories had placed his enemies at his feet, his noble-heartedness and kindly disposition led him to extend forgiveness to them, in the hope of restoring peace and unity among the American people. This meeting prays that God, in His infinite mercy, will so direct the rulers of America that peace may be soon restored, the Union cemented, and slavery forever abolished. FRED. R.

Title A name given to the resource Samuel Alschuler Collection Subject The topic of the resource Alschuler, Samuel, 1859-1939 Judges Appellate courts United States. Court of Appeals (7th Circuit) Alschuler, Samuel, 1826-1882 Illinois. General Assembly. House of Representatives Photographers Description An account of the resource Samuel Alschuler, judge of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (1915-1936), was born in Chicago, Illinois, on November 20, 1959 to Bavarian-born Jacob and Caroline Stiefel Alschuler. After growing up and attending school in Aurora, Alschuler began practicing law at the age of twenty-two in 1881 and starting in the 1890s, served as a public servant for the rest of his life. As a Democrat, Alschuler won a seat in the Illinois House of Representatives in 1896. He became the House Minority leader in 1898, a position he held until leaving the House of Representatives in 1900. Alschuler unsuccessfully ran for Illinois State Governor in both 1900 and 1912. In 1915, President Woodrow Wilson recognized Alschuler’s potential and appointed him to the U.S. Court of Appeals 7th Circuit. Alschuler served as arbitrator during the meat packing labor dispute of 1918. During the coal labor problems of 1922, President Warren Harding also asked him to serve on a coal fact-find commission. Alschuler, uncertain if he could properly be a member of the commission while serving on the federal bench, chose to serve unofficially as a legal advisor to the commission. In 1925, he became the presiding judge of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, a position he held for nine years, and retired in May 1936. Alschuler was a bachelor until 1923, when he married the daughter of the Chicago clothing manufacturer Ella Kahn. On November 10, 1939, Samuel Alschuler died, having no children. Judge Samuel Alschuler is related to the nineteenth century photographer, Samuel Alschuler. The photographer is best known for photographing Abraham Lincoln in Urbana, Illinois, in 1858 in which Lincoln wore Alschuler's black suit coat which was far too small for the political figure. Images taken by the photographer Samuel Alschuler are included in this collection. The finding aid for the Samuel Alschuler Papers, 1890-1940 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at: http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/23.  This collection features photographs relating to Samuel Alschuler and his family, including unidentified family members and scenes from Chile.  Still Image A static visual representation.

Tis years since last we met, And we may not meet again; I have struggled to forget, But the <hr /> 4 struggle was in vain; For her voice lives on the breeze, And her spirit comes at will; In the midnight on the seas, Her bright smile haunts me stlll. For her voice lives on the breeze, And her spirit comes at will; In the midnight, on the <hr /> 5 seas. Her bright smile haunts me still. 2. At the first sweet dawn of light, When I gaze upon the deep, Her form still greets my sight, While the stars the vigils keep: When I close mine aching eyes, Sweet dreams my senses fill; And from sleep when I arise, Her bright smile haunts me still. When I close mine aching eyes, Sweet dreams my senses fill and from sleep when I arise, Her bright smile haunts me still. 3. I have sail'd 'neath alien skies, I have trod the desert path, I have seen the storm arise, Like a giant in his wrath; Every danger I have known, That a reckless life can fill; Yet her presence is now flown, Her bright smile haunts me still. Every danger I have known, That a reckless life can fill; Yet her presence is not flown, Her bright smile haunts me still. <hr /> [blank page] <hr /> Do They Think of Me At Home (no date but very old) 25 Prize Songs Thou Art so Near and Yet so Far 3 1/2 I.D.

Springfield Aug 19th 1863 Hon. Amos Tuck My Dear Sir. I thank you for your very kind letter, and though you very much over rate my services, I feel much better to have it this way, than to have them underrated as they are by mean partizans and the enemies of the country. Allow me to say in return that if not so prominently before the public in the raising of men and means for the war as I have necessarily been, I have not the least doubt you have more ably and efficiently aided the Government in your department than I have in mine. You are able to bring to the public service a riper experience a clearer judgement and an effective statesmanship which one of my impulsive nature can never hope to attain. The signs of the times are not pleasant here. I had hoped that our recent victories would have overawed the copperheads but they served rather to show them that the political ascendancy, for which they were striving, was rapidly passing out their hands and they are now deliberately debating whether they had not better embroil the free states in revolution than not get the control of the Government. In every part of our state they are organizing-attend their public meetings, in some parts, in squads of from one to five hundred armed with rifles and revolvers-assassinations, shootings [etc?] are not unfrequent. Demagogues appeal to every prejudice, the most hateful and meanest of all is the prejudice against N. England. I believe all will come out right, but the country is yet to pass through unexpected trials and to see horrors it has not yet seen. My love and that of [illegible] Mrs Tuck Your friend Richd.

The elections for President to be modified, so as to be held by Districts, instead of by States, might also be offered, if deemed expedient. P.S. think of a place for my son, if you can find any - Private Washington Jany 1, 1861. Dear Sir, The papers of the day have advised you of the excitement here and at the South generally, but the pen of Lucifer, if he would wield one, could not convey an adequate description of the political mania that seems to have seized upon many of the Southern people. I say "many," because I know that there are great numbers of Union loving, law abiding citizens all over the South, who are now overwhelmed and borne down by the author, and abetting of this mania and are compelled to bow to the storm, till the worst of its fury is over. As if to transfer, as far as they can, to the North, a portion of their frenzy, they are charging Mr Lincoln and his friends as the author of all these evils, notwithstanding the Republicans have not had power for a single day, in any branch of the Govt. nor have they done any thing, which can be pointed out as at all objectionable. That this scheme of disunion has long been considered and prepared, there can be no doubt; but the motives and objects that induced this action would require more time and space for discussion, than can be given in an ordinary letter. Such, in fact, is not my object, but simply to present a few suggestions, which seem to be justified by the circumstances of our country, for your consideration, in connection with the position our State should take in the present crisis, as a prominent and influential member of the Union. The Union must be preserved at all hazards, and at whatever cost; for the recognition of the right of secession in any or all the States, will sooner or later disintegrate the Union, and <hr /> the individual States, and lead to anarchy, civil war, and military despotism. To conquer the South, which probably could only be done by desolating it, would be but little, if any better; as we could only hope, in that event, to hold it by force; and the idea of this Republic holding conquered Provinces or States by force, is utterly repugnant to our feelings, and the spirit and genius of our institutions. The use of force, then, the result of which cannot be doubted, is evidently not expedient, till other, and peaceful efforts fail. Such efforts cannot be made by the present Executive or rather will not, for he is either imbecile, and not competent to the emergency; or has so far committed himself to the authors of the evils that are not upon us, that he is either tacitly acquiescing, or secretly promoting their aims and ends; in fact, I think he is a little compounded of both. Nor can such efforts be made by our friends in Congress, as they were not elected for that purpose, and therefore have not the authority for so doing; neither would their action be binding on their constituents or successors, and of that fact the mischief makers are well advised. To the secessionists, who would utterly destroy the fair fabric of our Union, erected and cemented, by the wisdom, patriotism, and life blood of the purest patriots and most enlightened statesmen that ever lived, we owe only the punishment due to the outraged laws of our country, but to our friends among them, who have endeavored, though thus far in vain, to stem the torrent of disunion and lawless violence, we owe every support encouragement and assistance that can be rendered with a due regard to honor and justice, and to the preservation of that exact equality among the States, which is the fundamental principle of our institutions and even of our very existence. The North being far the stronger party, and having just <hr /> come off victors in one of the most, if not the most important political contest that has ever occurred in our country, can afford to be generous, as well as just, and to hold out the olive branch of peace to our friends, to sustain them in their efforts for the Union. This, of course, will divide the South, and with the aid of the North, the conservatives will be able to crush out the traitors from among them. To do this, I would suggest, that the people of the free states, by their delegates, elected for the purpose by primary meetings, propose the following settlement of existing difficulties, to wit. That the rendition clause of the Compromise Act of 1850, amended so that fugitives from labor, shall have a trial by jury before the U.S. Court, shall be embodied in the Constitution; with a clause declaring that Congress, or the Territorial Legislatures, shall have no legislative authority on the subject of slavery; and that each Territory, when it had the population required by the then existing laws of Congress, shall be admitted as a state, without one word about slavery in their Constitution; and that immediately after such admission, the question of slavery in such State, shall be determined by its own convention, elected for that purpose; and if such Convention should decide against slavery and that decision be sustained by the popular vote the slaves in such State shall be removed within six months, or become free. The question of slavery in the District of Columbia, to remain in abeyance while slavery exists in Maryland and Virginia; and when abolished in those states, to be determined by the votes of the people of the District; with such provision as will secure to their owners, such slaves as may be brought into the District as servants, by their masters, while discharging their duties as Members of Congress. Where a slave is rescued from his owner, or the officers of the law, after a jury has decided that he owes service to the person claiming him, such decision to <hr /> John Wilson authorize and require the issue of an [Action?] by such court, against the lands & tenements, or other property of the City, Town County, or residents of the District, in which such rescue is made with power to sell any or all of said property after three days notice, till the proven value of the slave, and all expenses were fully paid and liquidated. This of course, would render unnecessary the "personal liberty laws"; and they should forthwith be repealed. Neither your time nor mine, will permit me to go into arguments to sustain these views. I believe they would be acceptable to the North; and I am sure they would to the Conservative men of the South. They would not strengthen slavery, but leave it to the irrepressible conflict, which free labor always wages against servitude; and to that ultimate extinction which must follow the vast tragic increase and spread of our white population. Without some such provision I fear a perfect unity will be cemented among all the people of the slave holding states - a consequent division of the Union Civil War, which may be suppressed by European interference; the destruction of the power and influence of our Republic - and the increase and spread of slavery over all the slave holding states and also over the Mexican & South American Governments, which would probably be brought within the Southern Confederacy. I suppose a convention, to amend our State constitution, has been voted for by a majority of our people; and I supposed, in authorizing the election of Delegates to that Convention, you might ask the people, to extend the powers of those Delegates, to enable them to make any recommendation they see proper in the present affairs of the State, individually or in connection with her sister States, or the Federal Govt. I know you will do what is best in the premises; and I hope you will pardon these suggestions, which grow out of my friendship for you, for our states, and for our beloved Union. Truly yours, John Wilson. John Wilson Jany 1/62 Political Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

The use of force, then, the result of which cannot be doubted, is evidently not expedient, till other, and peaceful efforts fail. Such efforts cannot be made by the present Executive or rather will not, for he is either imbecile, and not competent to the emergency; or has so far committed himself to the authors of the evils that are not upon us, that he is either tacitly acquiescing, or secretly promoting their aims and ends; in fact, I think he is a little compounded of both. Nor can such efforts be made by our friends in Congress, as they were not elected for that purpose, and therefore have not the authority for so doing; neither would their action be binding on their constituents or successors, and of that fact the mischief makers are well advised. To the secessionists, who would utterly destroy the fair fabric of our Union, erected and cemented, by the wisdom, patriotism, and life blood of the purest patriots and most enlightened statesmen that ever lived, we owe only the punishment due to the outraged laws of our country, but to our friends among them, who have endeavored, though thus far in vain, to stem the torrent of disunion and lawless violence, we owe every support encouragement and assistance that can be rendered with a due regard to honor and justice, and to the preservation of that exact equality among the States, which is the fundamental principle of our institutions and even of our very existence. The North being far the stronger party, and having just <hr /> come off victors in one of the most, if not the most important political contest that has ever occurred in our country, can afford to be generous, as well as just, and to hold out the olive branch of peace to our friends, to sustain them in their efforts for the Union. This, of course, will divide the South, and with the aid of the North, the conservatives will be able to crush out the traitors from among them. To do this, I would suggest, that the people of the free states, by their delegates, elected for the purpose by primary meetings, propose the following settlement of existing difficulties, to wit. That the rendition clause of the Compromise Act of 1850, amended so that fugitives from labor, shall have a trial by jury before the U.S. Court, shall be embodied in the Constitution; with a clause declaring that Congress, or the Territorial Legislatures, shall have no legislative authority on the subject of slavery; and that each Territory, when it had the population required by the then existing laws of Congress, shall be admitted as a state, without one word about slavery in their Constitution; and that immediately after such admission, the question of slavery in such State, shall be determined by its own convention, elected for that purpose; and if such Convention should decide against slavery and that decision be sustained by the popular vote the slaves in such State shall be removed within six months, or become free. The question of slavery in the District of Columbia, to remain in abeyance while slavery exists in Maryland and Virginia; and when abolished in those states, to be determined by the votes of the people of the District; with such provision as will secure to their owners, such slaves as may be brought into the District as servants, by their masters, while discharging their duties as Members of Congress. Where a slave is rescued from his owner, or the officers of the law, after a jury has decided that he owes service to the person claiming him, such decision to <hr /> John Wilson authorize and require the issue of an [Action?] by such court, against the lands & tenements, or other property of the City, Town County, or residents of the District, in which such rescue is made with power to sell any or all of said property after three days notice, till the proven value of the slave, and all expenses were fully paid and liquidated. This of course, would render unnecessary the "personal liberty laws"; and they should forthwith be repealed. Neither your time nor mine, will permit me to go into arguments to sustain these views. I believe they would be acceptable to the North; and I am sure they would to the Conservative men of the South. They would not strengthen slavery, but leave it to the irrepressible conflict, which free labor always wages against servitude; and to that ultimate extinction which must follow the vast tragic increase and spread of our white population. Without some such provision I fear a perfect unity will be cemented among all the people of the slave holding states - a consequent division of the Union Civil War, which may be suppressed by European interference; the destruction of the power and influence of our Republic - and the increase and spread of slavery over all the slave holding states and also over the Mexican & South American Governments, which would probably be brought within the Southern Confederacy. I suppose a convention, to amend our State constitution, has been voted for by a majority of our people; and I supposed, in authorizing the election of Delegates to that Convention, you might ask the people, to extend the powers of those Delegates, to enable them to make any recommendation they see proper in the present affairs of the State, individually or in connection with her sister States, or the Federal Govt. I know you will do what is best in the premises; and I hope you will pardon these suggestions, which grow out of my friendship for you, for our states, and for our beloved Union. Truly yours, John Wilson. John Wilson Jany 1/62 Political Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.
