Description
An account of the resource
<p>The first classes at the McCormick Theological Seminary took place in a log cabin in Indiana in 1829. During the Civil War the school relocated to Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. In 1859 Chicago entrepreneur and Presbyterian layman Cyrus H. McCormick and his wife, Nettie Fowler McCormick, became the seminary's major financial patrons. The relationship between the McCormick family and the school remained well into the twentieth century. Shortly after McCormick’s death in 1884, the school was renamed McCormick Theological Seminary. Several campus buildings are named for McCormick family members including McCormick Hall, Fowler Hall, and Virginia Library. <br /><br />After Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination in 1968, seminary faculty and students were active in the civil rights movement and provided assistance to displaced and injured participants. The seminary relocated to Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood in 1975.<br /><br />The photographs in this collection include portraits of the McCormick Theological Seminary Class of 1896, school professors, and campus buildings.</p>

</p><p>Dear Governor

</p><p>Major Allen the Senior Paymaster of this district to whom I reported suggested to me this morning that if I was desirous of going home he thought my MC could by making application to the Sec of War - have me nominally placed on duty in Ill until after the election with a private understanding as to what the duty shall be(I don't think my MC would do aneything of the kind) If that was not practicable to give me a leave of absence for thirty days. I received a letter this morning from Mr Gale our late representative from which I learn there are numerous aspirants for the nomination in our county, one or two of which would be objectionable. If you think it advisable
--- to make a suggestion to the Sec of War for an order that would Send me to Illinois either on duty or leave I think I could put in the time proffitably, I am not advised as to the time our County convention meets but presume in a short time, Several paymasters are ordered to Indiana on Special duty.

<p>Mt. Morris Illinois Dec 5th 1864
</p><p>Dear Govenor
</p><p>Yours of the 29th ult came duly to hand, although I did not think it possible that Mr Pinckney Could be induced under any circumstances to so far disregard the wishes of the people of this county as to vote or in any way directly or indirectly Support the pretentions of Any other Man for the U.S. Senate. Still upon receipt of your letter I lost no time in seeing him and Satisfying Myself. I spent last evening with him and he assured me that he was Satisfied a <u>large</u> Majority of the voters of this county were and had been for the past two years for you, and that he would Most Certainly vote and use his influence heartily for you. He is my neighbour has been for twenty years I know him and you can rely on him. Your letter took me by Surprise for when I heard down near Atlanta that we had carried the State I Supposed the
</p>
<hr />
<p>choice of Senator was decided. As this is the first opportunity I have had of visiting Ill in the past Eight Months and for the past two Months have been in northern Georgia not even Seeing a News-paper published north of the Ohio river, consequently have had no opportunity to post myself, as to the extent of commitment In passing through Chicago I met Bill Church he thought Washburn & Logan were combining but I had but a few minutes with him.
</p><p>What is the Tribune after, I have just finished reading the three or four last issues do I guess right in Supposing they are trying to get up divisions hoping a compromise may be made on Ogelsby thereby making <u>Deacon Bross Governor</u> I told Pinckney last night that I could See no other object.
</p><p>Bill Church was entirely Sanguine of your Election. I would be glad to hear from you give me the points I assure you it will afford me infinite Satisfaction if I can do anything to assist you.
</p>
<hr />
<p>I dont Know how long I can remain in Ill as I am away from my post now without a formal leave feared if I went through with all the formual necessary to to obtain a formal leave if I Succeeded it would be to late, I think if Col Andrews had remained at the head of the Pay Dept. he would have placed me on duty in Ill, but before I returned from Making the payments to Genl Sherman's Army, Maj Brice was placed in Chg, As Acting PMaster Genl.
</p><p>That the People the union voters of this Congressional district are decidedly in favour of your Election there is no doubt, and the only thing to fear is from the politicians. If Mr Washburn Could Succeed of Course it would make a vacancy in Congressional district & he has I presume of course promised to drop his mantal on every aspirant in the District. I Suggested to our Reps last night that Mr W's Successor would not be Selected from those who deceived the parties that placed them in power in my humble opinion

<p>Newcomer Charles
</p><p>Mt. Morris, Dec 5th 1864
</p><p>Upon recp't of your letter he hastened to sound Mr Pinckney, & after Spending and Evening with him he had no difficulty in finding out that he would support you warmly. A large majority of the Union men of that County are for you.
</p><p>You are sure of Success. You may rely on Mr Pinckney.

I spent last evening with him and he assured me that he was Satisfied a <u>large</u> Majority of the voters of this county were and had been for the past two years for you, and that he would Most Certainly vote and use his influence heartily for you. He is my neighbour has been for twenty years I know him and you can rely on him. Your letter took me by Surprise for when I heard down near Atlanta that we had carried the State I Supposed the
</p>
<hr />
<p>choice of Senator was decided. As this is the first opportunity I have had of visiting Ill in the past Eight Months and for the past two Months have been in northern Georgia not even Seeing a News-paper published north of the Ohio river, consequently have had no opportunity to post myself, as to the extent of commitment In passing through Chicago I met Bill Church he thought Washburn & Logan were combining but I had but a few minutes with him.
</p><p>What is the Tribune after, I have just finished reading the three or four last issues do I guess right in Supposing they are trying to get up divisions hoping a compromise may be made on Ogelsby thereby making <u>Deacon Bross Governor</u> I told Pinckney last night that I could See no other object.
</p><p>Bill Church was entirely Sanguine of your Election. I would be glad to hear from you give me the points I assure you it will afford me infinite Satisfaction if I can do anything to assist you.
</p>
<hr />
<p>I dont Know how long I can remain in Ill as I am away from my post now without a formal leave feared if I went through with all the formual necessary to to obtain a formal leave if I Succeeded it would be to late, I think if Col Andrews had remained at the head of the Pay Dept. he would have placed me on duty in Ill, but before I returned from Making the payments to Genl Sherman's Army, Maj Brice was placed in Chg, As Acting PMaster Genl.
</p><p>That the People the union voters of this Congressional district are decidedly in favour of your Election there is no doubt, and the only thing to fear is from the politicians. If Mr Washburn Could Succeed of Course it would make a vacancy in Congressional district & he has I presume of course promised to drop his mantal on every aspirant in the District. I Suggested to our Reps last night that Mr W's Successor would not be Selected from those who deceived the parties that placed them in power in my humble opinion

</p><p>My Dear Govenor
</p><p>I never read a dispatch with as much pleasure as the one to day announcing your nomination by the Caucus by a handsome majority over all other candidates glory enough for one day Maj Henry of Sterling Says when he was home Richards our Senator was advocating Washburns claims I think he must be mistaken I am particularly desirous to Know whether he was true or not. I think Maj H is mistaken for this reason at the convention that nominated Richards I offered the following resolution which was unanimously addopted "Resolved that Gov Yates is the unanimous choice of this convention for U S. Senator and we will Support no man for State Senator who will not <u>unconditionally</u> pledge himself to his Support." Jude Eustan desired the nomination but owing to his congressional aspirations I was afraid to trust him. Privately I knew R to be an ass but thought he could be trusted. I wish also to know whether Pinckney went into the work heartily for you I trust he did I know a most desperate effort was made and inducements held out to him by petitions &c, I gave him to understand that if he Stood firm in your Support I would herafter Support and aid him in his aspirations. I gave him to understand however that I expected him to give you all the Support he could aside from his vote I of course desire this information for my private use
</p>
<hr />
<p>in regard to both Richards & Pinckney.
</p><p>Now Govenor I hope you will not consider it impertinent in me to express a hope & belief that you will carry out your good resolution thereby giving the lie to the Slanders So industriously circulated and at least show their predictions false in regard to the effect of a residence in Washington. by So doing most sincerly hope & believe higher honors are in store for you.

Description
An account of the resource
David Davis, a lawyer, politician, distinguished jurist and businessman, was born in Maryland, educated at Kenyon College in Ohio, and studied law at Yale University. Davis married Sarah Woodruff Walker in 1838 and they had five children including George Perrin Davis and Sarah "Sally" Davis. <br /><br />In 1844, Davis won election as a Whig to the Illinois Legislature, and four years later was elected Judge of Illinois Eighth Judicial Circuit, where he served on the bench during Lincoln's remaining years as an attorney on the circuit. The two became close friends, and Davis worked diligently as Lincoln's campaign manager at the 1860 Republican nominating convention in Chicago. <br /><br />In 1862, President Lincoln appointed Davis to the United States Supreme Court, where Davis wrote the majority opinion in Ex parte Milligan, a landmark decision restricting the rights of military courts to try civilians. In 1877, he resigned from the court after being elected to the United States Senate by the Illinois Legislature. Davis served as Senate president pro tempore from 1881 to 1883, and was known unofficially as "Mr. Vice President." He retired from the Senate in 1883.<br /><br /><span>Davis invested in real estate with De Witt County attorney, Clifton H. Moore, and became a man of considerable wealth. He had the distinction of being the largest landowner in Illinois. At the time of his death, June 26, 1886, his estate was valued between four to five million dollars-a huge fortune in his day.</span><span> <br /></span><br />The finding aid for the David Davis Family Papers at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at: http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/165.<br /><br />Photographs in this collection include portraits of several members of the David Davis and George P. Davis families. The collection also includes portraits of Judge Davis' law colleagues, images of Bloomington, Illinois, and photographs of miscellaneous buildings throughout the United States.
