NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., June 3, 1841 Two items of interest, as over half of the front page is taken up with the: "President's Message" to both houses of Congress, signed in type: James Tyler. Plus, this issue was subscribed to by James K Polk, as his name is penned at the upper right: "Gov. J K Polk" and then again beneath it is "James K. Polk Governor of Tenn. James K Polk". He was governor of Tennessee from 1839-1841.
Four pages, irregular at the blank spine margin but not affecting text, minimal wear, good condition. The folder size noted is for the issue folded in half.

Background: This extraordinary artifact possesses immense historical significance and near-unique rarity, capturing a volatile moment of political transition through a flawless confluence of two U.S. presidents. It captures the exact dawn of the "accidental presidency" following William Henry Harrison's sudden death, immortalizing the nation's confusion through a glaring, front-page typographical error that renames President John Tyler as "James Tyler"—a stark reflection of a government scrambling to handle an unprecedented constitutional crisis. Elevating this document from a mere historical curiosity to a museum-quality treasure is the stellar, verified provenance of James K. Polk's dual signatures. Penned during his final months as Governor of Tennessee, Polk's ownership marks a profound historical irony: the future 11th President of the United States was personally subscribing to and analyzing the foundational executive address of the 10th President, whom he would ultimately succeed in the White House four years later. Because 19th-century newspapers were highly ephemeral and rarely survived with intact, multiple signatures from sitting governors who went on to win the presidency, this four-page issue represents an irreplaceable, cross-presidential relic of the highest order.
