NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE, Dec. 7, 1844

• President John Tyler
• Annual address - Texas

All of page 4 and a bit of page 5 are taken up with the: "President's Message", being his state-of-the-union address, a tradition begun with Washington and which continues to this day. It is signed at its conclusion: John Tyler.
Eight pages, minor damp stains at the margins, good condition.

Background: Delivered in writing to Congress on December 3, 1844, President John Tyler’s 1844 State of the Union Address is historical content marked by its aggressive push for the annexation of Texas, warning against European interference under the Monroe Doctrine, asserting control over the Oregon Territory, and celebrating a federal budget surplus alongside a peaceful democratic transition following James K. Polk's election victory. In terms of physical rarity, original 19th-century primary source printings of the document—such as Congressional executive prints, broadsheet "Extras," or contemporary 1844 newsprint editions like those archived by RareNewspapers.com—are scarce collector's items today.
