  • Indiana Magazine of History
    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY VOLUMEXXXIII MARCH, 1937 NUMBER1 Insurgent Democrats of Indiana and Illinois in 1854’ MILDRED C. STOLER Before the actual beginning of debate on the Nebraska measure of 1854, the “Appeal of the Independent Democrats” was given to the public. It was the the work of Senator Salmon P. Chase. It was signed by him, Senator Charles Sumner and four members of the House.2 The “Appeal” was widely pub- lished, and excerpts from it appeared in a vast number of newspapers. By the time the Kansas-Nebraska Act became a law in May, a great opposition to the abrogation of the anti- slavery restriction of the Missouri Compromise had developed. Much of this was certainly due to the effectiveness of the “Ap- peal”, which included the following passages well calculated to arouse deep hostility to the measure championed by Doug- las : We arraign this bill as a gross violation of a sacred pledge; as a criminal betrayal of precious rights; as part and parcel of an atrocious plot to exclude from a vast unoccupied region immigrants from the old world, and free laborers from our own States, and convert it into a dreary region of despotism, inhabited by masters and slaves. Take your maps fellow citizens, we entreat you and see what coun- try it is which this bill, gratuitously, proposes to open to slavery. We appeal to the people. We warn you that the dearest interests of freedom and the Union are in imminent peril. Demagogues may tell yon that the Union can be maintained only by submitting to the de- mands of slavery.

  • Broadsides & Broadsheets
    CATALOGUE THREE HUNDRED SIXTY-SEVEN Broadsides & Broadsheets WILLIAM REESE COMPANY 409 Temple Street New Haven, CT 06511 (203) 789-8081 A Note Long before “breaking news” could be flashed across a television or cell phone screen, a highly effective way to transmit important information quickly was by printing it as a broadside, to be displayed in a conspicuous place. Whether it was bringing news of a political campaign or military victory, the text of a law or a petition for social change, a commercial announcement or news of an impending event, a broadside was an efficient way to get the word out. This catalogue is devoted to broadsides and broadsheets printed over a span of 350 years, and reflects the diverse manner in which the medium was used. Among the most remarkable items is a late 16th-century illustrated broadside celebrating Sir Francis Drake’s circumnavigation (no. 44), a very early instance of matching image and text to bring news to the populace.
