DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., March 5, 1849  

* Congressman Abraham Lincoln
* re. President Zachary Taylor inauguration
* Abe on the Inaugural Ball committee


The back page has a list of the "Managers" for the "Grand Inauguration Ball" to be held March 5 in honor of incoming President Zachary Taylor, and among them is: "Hon. Abraham Lincoln, Ill." The bkpg. also has a similar list of the "Managers" of the: "National Inauguration Ball" which includes the names: "Hon. S. A. Douglas, Ill. and Hon. A. Lincoln , Ill."
Lincoln was a member of the House at the time. Little could he have imagined that a dozen years later there would be an inauguration ball for him.
March 5 was inauguration day (note: just the 2nd time it was postponed a day as March 4 was a Sunday) so it is not surprising that there are reports headed: 'Inauguration Day" with various details, as well as: "Arrangements For the Inauguration of the President-Elect on Monday Next" and: "The Inauguration--Order of Procession" with much detail.
Logically this content would only be found in a newspaper from the nation's capital.
Eight pages, nice condition.
