  [Nye, John A.]. "Reasons Why Gov. Seymour Should Not Be Elected": essay

  Manuscripts

  Collection of correspondence, business records, military records, and essays assembled by John A. Nye of Unadilla, New York. The personal correspondence includes that sent from Nye's friends Stephen W. Richardson, who had moved to Franklin, New York, to work as a clerk but disliked the town because "they are all such damn Christians" (1853); John H. Adams, who wrote from Pittsburgh that "I am here in the Smoky City among smoke and pretty women but I think I like the latter the best" (1854); and a letter from an acquaintance in Hainesville, Illinois, who wrote "every thing here is new and full of life...villages spring up in a year that make the natives eyes stick out...Chicago is the most enterprising place that I ever was in and is bound to be a mighty City" (c.1854). Other personal correspondents include Nye's sisters Mary Nye Case and Fanny Nye. Business correspondence and records include letters to Nye regarding his company Nye & Foster in Unadilla (1852-1853), a contract of property and interests sold to Nye's business partner Talcott M. Foster (1852); correspondence regarding receipts and invoices from Reeves Wilcox and Co. to McClair & McClaughy (1854); and miscellaneous receipts, invoices, and inventories. The military records of the 151st New York Infantry under Captain Caleb Palmer, dating from 1841-1844, include a company roll and instructions for alerting voters of forthcoming elections for military posts. One of the recipients was Thomas Nye, who was probably a relative of John Nye. Also included are the texts of various essays or addresses apparently made by Nye to the Freemasons, on topics such as procrastination, charity, beauty, and hope, as well as an essay explaining "Reasons Why Governor Seymour Should Not Be Elected" (referring to Governor Horatio Seymour of New York). There are also two handwritten copies, made at Unadilla, of proclamations from the United States Congress and House of Representatives creating "The Republic of the West" (west of the Rocky Mountains), "forever released from allegiance to the country east of said division" but "similar to the United States of America in its manner of government" (1855).
