Contact seller5-star sellerThis Democratic congressman from Pennsylvania (1851-58) was also one of James Buchanan's top advisors, and it was he who appointed Jones U.S. Minister to the Austrian Empire (1858-61). Handsome ALS, 1p, 4½" X 7" (lined lettersheet), Reading, PA, 31 August 1855. Addressed to General R.C. Hale (Reuben Charles Hale, 1812-63). Near…fine. Boldly penned note attempting to obtain a position, likely for a constituent. Reads in part: "Dr Donegan is very anxious in the changes that may be made in the Custom House to have a salary equal to an Inspectorship; Mr Brown is kindly disposed towards him; & if you could make a suggestion to him as to place & take an interest in him you wd confer a favor on him & on me." Hale served as quartermaster general of Pennsylvania during the war and was subject of J.C. Beckel's 1862 tune "Genl. R.C. Hale's Grand March." A nice example of congressional favor trading.

Contact seller5-star sellerTypescript broadside notice, signed in type at the end, "J. Glancy Jones," dated at upper right "WASHINGTON, February 15, 1856." Arithmetic pencil scribblings in blank margins and blank verso. Old folds with light wear but text unaffected; blank margins chipped and upper right corner blank margin spotted. Good plus. Jones, a new…spaper editor and Democratic Congressman from Pennsylvania, portrays his newspaper and his political views as a moderating force between the extremes of abolitionism and Know Nothings. Wikipedia quotes his biographer who has quite a different assessment: "Leading Northern Democrats such as Jones and Buchanan were not romantic defenders of working men, as some scholars have claimed; nor were they moderates striving to save the Union from extreme sectionalism. Rather, they were proslavery activists whose willful actions had direct and disastrous effects on the nation. Their policies enraged free-state voters and caused the fatal split in the Democratic Party that resulted in Lincoln's election, which, in turn, triggered disunion. They were culpable and responsible -- an act that should not be forgotten or overlooked.".
