DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., Oct. 30, 1865  The front page has a somewhat brief article: "The Georgia Convention - Abolishment Of Negro Slavery" which concerns the historic 13th Amendment. When Georgia ratifies it in December it would become the law of the land.
Page 2 has two: "Proclamation" documents signed by: Andrew Johnson. One calls for a day of Thanksgiving: "...to the Creator of the Universe, for these deliverances and blessings...".
Four pages, large folio size, very nice condition. Folder size noted is for the issue folded in half.

background: This specific issue of the Daily National Intelligencer captures the United States at a precarious crossroads, documenting the exact moment the legal infrastructure of the Old South began to collapse under the weight of the Union's victory. The front-page report on the Georgia Convention serves as a precursor to the constitutional "tipping point," as Georgia’s reluctant participation was the final gear needed to turn the 13th Amendment into a permanent national mandate by December. Meanwhile, the interior proclamations by Andrew Johnson reveal the administration's urgent desire to pivot the country toward a unified, spiritual healing through a day of Thanksgiving. By framing the end of the war as a "deliverance" from the "Creator of the Universe," Johnson was attempting to use religious rhetoric to smooth over the deep-seated political animosity of a fractured citizenry. Together, these articles present a vivid duality: the cold, legislative reality of ending slavery sitting side-by-side with the performative, cultural effort to build a "New North and South" through shared national holiday and prayer.
