BIDSTRUP1 Jacksonian democracy, with its emphasis on the im­ portance of the common man, found ready support in Mis­ souri. Under the leadership of Senator Thomas Hart Benton, Missouri became a great stronghold in the 1820s and 1830s of that theory which seemed to bring more freedom to the commoner, and more particularly to the westerner. Having been nursed on the belief that men deserve equal opportunity and possess equal ability, the people of Missouri were very much interested in public affairs. Believing as they did that their opinions were important and might actually produce results, Missourians were willing and anxious to express them­ selves. The government, they believed, should be by the people as well as for the people, and government by the people hinged on public discussion. The public meeting which gave the citizens the desired opportunity for expressing their beliefs and ideas and furnished the necessary procedure for formulating group opinion was the natural focal occasion for the public speaking of the period. Accounts of such meetings occupied considerable space in the newspapers. On February 29, 1844, the Jefferson Inquirer for example devoted almost the entire front page to accounts of four public gatherings, and on the second page of the same issue appeared a full report of a public meeting held in another part of the State. Since the people congregated to discuss a wide variety of subjects, the meetings formed an important part of their lives. Occasionally, meetings were called to express an opinion on a proposed railroad2 and in one instance to ex­ amine the possibilities for increasing the production of to- ^xjDLEY J. BIDSTRUP, a native of Cooper county, Missouri, is now instructor in speech and assistant director of forensics at the University of Missouri. He received an A.B. degree from the University of Missouri in 1939, and an M.A. degree from the same institution in 1940. The present article is based on his master's thesis, Public Speaking in Missouri, 18J/-0-1860. 2Liberty Weekly Tribune, January 6, 1854, p. 1. ( 133) 134 Missouri Historical Review bacco.3 In the period immediately preceding the Civil war, the activities of abolitionists sometimes aroused public indignation and occasioned numerous public meetings.4 Whatever the subject to be discussed, however, whether the annexation of Texas,5 the colonization of California,6 or the protection of the slave interests in Kansas,7 the citizens con­ gregated at the courthouse, at the schoolhouse, in a private home, or out in the open if the weather was warm and pro­ ceeded to voice their sentiments on the question that had brought them together. Nor were these gatherings always scenes of confusion where everyone talked at once and where the speaker with the loudest voice gained audience. Instead, the meetings were definitely organized and usually followed closely a standard and accepted procedure. The first step was to name a chair­ man who in turn appointed a secretary. The chairman or some other competent person would then state the purpose of the meeting and would usually appoint a committee to draft resolutions bearing on the subject to be discussed. During the absence of this committee, it was customary for the orators of the period to take advantage of the opportunity to address the meeting. When the committee returned, its chairman usually introduced a group of resolutions and moved that the group go on record as favoring them. This special procedure was of course not always strictly adhered to, but it was the one which was customarily fol­ lowed. The procedure of the following meeting is fairly typical. At a meeting of the citizens of McDonald county, held in Elk River Township, on the 5th of October, 1849, previous notice being given, the meeting was organized by calling C. J. Pickle, Esq., to the Chair, and appointing that sterling old democrat, Capt. Sam. Walker, to act as Secretary. Wm. Claude Jones, of Springfield, being present, was called on for a speech. He came forward and in his usual happy and masterly manner sustained the instructions of the last Legislature, opposed the ^Boon's Lick Times (Fayette), January 15, 1842, p. 3. ^Palmyra Weekly Whig, October 22, 1857, p. 1. 5St. Louis Democrat, May 28, 1844, p. 2. ^Boonville Observer, March 21, 1850, p. 3. 7Glasgow Weekly Times, July 5, 1855, p. 1. The Background of Public Speaking in Missouri 135 Wilmot Proviso, demonstrated the right of the Legislature to instruct their Senators, and showed in the clearest manner the high-handed, dis­ organizing, dictatorial and disrespectful course of Senator Benton. When he had concluded, Gen. James S. Rains rose and offered the following resolutions which he stated he had drawn up hastily, and after making a few plain and pertinent remarks, called on every man present to vote his sentiments like freemen, let them be for or against the resolutions. The vote was then put by the Chairman, and every man present, judging from the sound, voted for the resolutions 8 THE POLITICAL OCCASION Since the meeting just described was obviously political in nature, it will serve to introduce the occasion that brought forth the greatest number of speeches, the political occasion. Jacksonian democracy placed a new emphasis on the importance of officeholding. Moreover, its tendency to encourage the common man in the belief that he was fully qualified to hold office caused the elective offices to be sought more eagerly. If a man gained success or popularity, he almost inevitably capitalized on it by becoming a candidate for office.
