  • The Emancipation Proclamation
    Chapter Twenty-nine “I Am Not a Bold Man, But I Have the Knack of Sticking to My Promises!”: The Emancipation Proclamation (September-December 1862) Though Lincoln’s announcement that he would issue an Emancipation Proclamation seemed to do more harm than good in the short run, he refused to back down. His deep commitment to black freedom led him to stand by his decision despite intense pressure. BACKLASH: ELECTORAL REVERSES The Proclamation, which some commentators dismissed as a ploy to strengthen the Republicans politically, instead contributed to the party’s severe losses in the fall of 1862. As Montgomery Blair had warned, the Proclamation became a club which the Democrats employed to cudgel Republicans in election campaigns that October.1 During the fall electoral contests, Democrats relentlessly employed their customary appeal to what the New York Tribune aptly called “that cruel and ungenerous 1 V.

  • The National Capitol
    The National Capitol 35 hasten my departure, and is in a very bad humour with me because I insist in waiting until the large picture of General WTashington is secured, and it requires to be unscrued from the wall.This process was found too tedious for these perilous moments.I have ordered the frame to be broken and the can- vas taken out.It is done; and the precious portrait placed in the hands of two gentlemen of New York for safe-keeping. And now, my dear sister, I must leave this house, or the retreating army will make me a prisoner in it by filling up the road I am directed to take." The city was soon deserted, except by lawlessness and anarchy."Many passed the night," writes Ingersoll, " in huts and cornfields around the town.The first considerable dwelling the enemy was to pass had been Mr. Gallatin's residence, the house of Mr. Sewall, some hundred yards east of the Capitol.From behind the side wall of that house, as is supposed, at all events from or near to it, a solitary musket, fired by some excited and perhaps intoxicated person, believed to be a well-known Irish barber, but never ascertained who was the perpetrator, no doubt aimed at General Ross, killed the bay mare he rode." On reaching the Capitol, the enemy detailed a body of men to take pos- session of the building.Admiral Cockburn, incensed, no doubt, by the shot which killed Ross's horse, impudently ascended the rostrum in the House of Representatives, sprang into the Speaker's chair in his muddy boots, and, calling his battle-stained troops to order in mock parliament, shouted deri- sively: "Shall this harbor of Yankee Democracy be burned ?All for it will say, Aye!" An unanimous cry in the affirmative arosefrom the soldiers, and the order was cheerfully given.By means of rockets, tar barrels found in the neighborhood, broken furniture, heaps of books from the Library, and pictures, including the full-length paintings * of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI., which had been presented by that unfortunate monarch to Congress, the whole structure was soon in flames.

  • American Club of Paris President Joseph Smallhoover's Remarks
    I want to thank John Bennett for that heartfelt toast to the Presidents of our two great Republics, the United States and France. My name is Joseph Smallhoover and as President of the American Club of Paris, it is a great honor for me to welcome you all to this momentous occasion. For on this day we mark both the 70th Anniversary of the resumption of activities of the American Club of Paris following the hiatus caused by the Nazi tyranny, as well as the 75th Anniversary of the founding of the Paris American Club of New York. That tyranny brought to a temporary end in Paris 160 odd years of a tradition of dinners started by Benjamin Franklin during his time as Commissioner and later Ambassador of the United States to France, but was the start of a tradition simply relocated to New York. 1 37911.1 The Franklin traditions had been interrupted once before by the French Revolution, but they were resumed after the Revolution and continued without further interruption until 1940. These luncheons and dinners were celebrated regularly through out the years, usually under the auspices of our Ministers or Ambassadors. As related in the Club’s Yearbook of 1925 by an eminent painter of the time, the late Daniel Ridgway Knight (one of our former Vice Presidents and grandfather of Ambassador Ridgway Brewster Knight, who was President of the American Club of Paris when I joined in 1985), the long chain of clubs – “Latin Quarter Club,” “Gradle Club,” “Pen and Pencil Club,” “The Ramblers,” and “Stanley Club” – led up to the Universities Club, which was in turn converted into the “American Club” at the Thanksgiving 2 37911.1 Dinner of 1904.
