Description
Up for sale is an original 1847 Mexican-American War era congressional speech, titled Remarks of Mr. Isaac Parish, of Ohio, on the Three Million Bill, delivered in the U.S. House of Representatives on February 10, 1847.
Published in Washington by Ritchie & Heiss, this 11-page address reflects the tense Congressional debates surrounding the Wilmot Proviso, territorial expansion, and the sectional interests of the American West regarding slavery during the war with Mexico.
Content Highlights:
Wilmot Proviso & Mexican War: Parish outlines his opposition to attaching the Wilmot Proviso (which sought to ban slavery in territory acquired from Mexico) to President Polk's $3,000,000 appropriation bill.
Western Sectional Identity: Directly addresses fellow Ohio Congressman Jacob Brinkerhoff, offering a distinctive perspective on how the American West viewed northern and southern sectional politics.
Condition Notes:
Binding: Disbound from a larger bound volume or pamphlet compilation. Original stitching/cord remnant present along the spine fold; pages are loose/unbound.
Paper Condition: Light age-toning and faint scattered foxing throughout. Minor corner crease/fold on the final page (p. 11). Previous owner/dealer pencil inventory marks at upper right corners. Text remains clean and fully legible.
A scarce piece of mid-19th-century American political ephemera documenting the pre-Civil War debates over territorial expansion.
