SPOONER'S VERMONT JOURNAL, Windsor, Dec. 28, 1795  

* President George Washington
* State of the Union Address - SOTUA

Almost the entire front page is taken up with the President's: "SPEECH" being George Washington's annual state-of-the-union address for the year 1795, a tradition he started in his first administration and which continues to this day.
The "Speech" is prefaced with: "This day, precisely at 12 o'clock, The President of the United States met both Houses of Congress in the hall of the Representatives, and addressed them in the following...". 
Page 2 contains the full list of the Senators & Representatives by state. Also a letter from the Senate responding to Washington's Address, this followed by the President's response signed in type: G. Washington.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, nice condition.

Background: This exceptional December 28, 1795 issue of Spooner’s Vermont Journal captures a monumental moment in early American history: the publication of President George Washington’s seventh annual address to Congress, a foundational precursor to the modern State of the Union tradition. Printed in Windsor, Vermont, just twenty days after its live delivery, this pristine, four-page newspaper—notable for being completely never bound nor trimmed—dedicates nearly its entire front page to Washington's historic "SPEECH". Delivered precisely at 12 o'clock in the hall of the Representatives to both Houses of Congress, this address arrived at a critical juncture for the young republic, heavily emphasizing foreign neutrality and domestic stability amidst fierce national debate over the Jay Treaty. The issue's significance is further heightened on page two, which preserves a complete, state-by-state roster of the Senators & Representatives, alongside the formal response exchange between the Senate and the President, culminating in a printed signature by G. Washington himself. This rare artifact stands as an incredibly well-preserved, tangible window into the evolving executive traditions and legislative inner workings of the early United States government.
