1845 Rare President James Polk First Message to Congress Broadside. Large silk broadside with eagle at top, dated "Washington, December 2, 1845. Printed at the office of the Dailly Globe - Levi D Slamm and Casper C. Childs." The Daily Globe was a prominent Democratic newspaper in Washington, D.C., during the mid-19th century. It was closely aligned with the Democratic Party and often functioned as an unofficial organ for Democratic administrations, including that of President James K. Polk. The newspaper frequently printed government documents, speeches, and State of the Union addresses for wider distribution. Printed on what appears to be silk and mounted for preservation on a hard stiff board. The first of the 1845 First State of the Union Address that we ever recall seeing. At 20.5" x 26.75 it is ready for framing and display and will be a cornerstone of your presidential collection. Original, of course.
In his 1845 State of the Union Address, President James K. Polk emphasized territorial expansion, particularly the annexation of Texas, and asserted U.S. claims to Oregon. He endorsed the Monroe Doctrine, promoted free trade and a lower tariff, and advocated for a strong, limited federal government. Polk’s message reflected his firm belief in Manifest Destiny and American growth.
