COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, Sept. 2, 1795  

* President George Washington
* 2 Acts of Congress signed 

The front page has an address: "To The President of the United States" by the "...subscribers, merchants & traders of the city of Philadelphia." which carries over to page 2.
Most of the document is taken up with a very lengthy list of names of those who signed it. It is followed on page 2 by the response from the President, a rather brief letter signed in script type: Go. Washington.
Page 2 has a letter also signed in script by the President: Go. Washington, sent to the President of the Chamber of Commerce.
Four pages, very nice condition.

Background: The historical significance of this September 1795 issue of the Columbian Centinel lies in its firsthand documentation of the Jay Treaty Crisis, a pivotal flashpoint that solidified America’s first two-party political system and tested the executive authority of the young presidency. The intense public backlash against the treaty threatened to destabilize the nation, making the Philadelphia merchants’ published manifesto a critical turning point; their organized corporate backing gave George Washington the necessary political cover to ratify the treaty, averting a catastrophic war with Great Britain and securing early American commercial maritime stability. From a collector's perspective, this newspaper is remarkably rare and highly desirable. While the Columbian Centinel was a widely read Federalist paper of its day, finding a complete, four-page 18th-century issue in "very nice condition" is uncommon, as most were destroyed, lost to decay, or clipped for autographs over the last two centuries. Surviving copies containing front-page, cross-page text explicitly detailing a direct grievance-and-response dialogue with a sitting President George Washington represent the pinnacle of early American print preservation.
