Porter, the U.S. Congressman, first elected in 1808 to represent western New York, were leading advocates of a war of conquest against the British over Canada. Tompkins was particularly interested in recruiting and training a state militia and opening and equipping state arsenals in preparation for such a war. Normally, militiamen were obligated only for three months of duty during the War of 1812, although if the President requested, the period could be extended to a maximum of six months. When the militia was called into service by the governor or his officers, it was paid by the state. When called by the President or an officer of the U.S. Army, it was paid by the U.S. Treasury. In 1808, the United States Congress took the first steps toward federalizing state militias by appropriating $200,000 – a hopelessly inadequate sum – to arm and train citizen soldiers needed to supplement the nation’s tiny standing army.

  • Daniel D. Tompkins, War Governor
    Daniel D. Tompkins, War Governor Richard V. Barbuto {Editor’s note: This paper was presented at the 6th Annual International War of 1812 Symposium at Oswego New York on 2 April 2016} New York and the contiguous British provinces of Upper and Lower Canada were the center of fighting for the duration of the war. From the Niagara River across Lakes Ontario and Champlain and down the Saint Lawrence River toward Montreal, soldiers, sailors, and native warriors contended fiercely while civilians suffered grievously. While the U.S. Constitution assigned the defense of the nation and the function of declaring and waging war to the federal government, it was widely understood that the conduct of war was a shared enterprise between the federal and state governments. While the governors of the New England states avoided participation in the conflict, Governor Daniel D. Tompkins of New York worked closely with the Madison Administration to prosecute the war. General studies of the war focus largely on the conduct of the federal government. However, the role of New York, both as a staging area for the invasions of the Canadas and as a source of material and human resources, has been treated lightly. Historians have cited Tompkins as an ardent supporter of the war, but his specific contributions receive minimal attention. This is somewhat odd, since in his role as commander-in-chief of the state militia, he had a potential land force larger than the regular army. This essay is a preliminary examination of his efforts over five years to prepare New York for war with the British Empire and his work resourcing the conflict once Congress declared war.

I907. NO. I ' THE VAN RENSSELAER FAMILY. BY W. W. SPOONER. the early Dutch colonial families the Van OF Rensselaers were the first to acquire a great landed estate in America under the "patroon" system; they were among the first, after the English conquest of New Netherland, to have their possessions erected into a "manor," antedating the Livingstons and Van Cortlandts in this particular; and they were the last to relinquish their ancient prescriptive rights and to part with their hereditary demesnes under the altered social and political conditions of modem times. So far as an aristocracy, in the strict understanding of the term, may be said to have existed under American institu- tions—and it is an undoubted historical fact that a quite formal aristocratic society obtained throughout the colonial period and for some time subsequently, especially in New York, — the Van Rensselaers represented alike its highest attained privileges, its most elevated organization, and its most dignified expression. They were, in the first place, nobles in the old country, which cannot be said of any of the other manorial families of New York, although several of these claimed gentle descent.

  • History of the U.S. Attorneys
    Bicentennial Celebration of the United States Attorneys 1789 - 1989 "The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor– indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." QUOTED FROM STATEMENT OF MR. JUSTICE SUTHERLAND, BERGER V. UNITED STATES, 295 U. S. 88 (1935) Note: The information in this document was compiled from historical records maintained by the Offices of the United States Attorneys and by the Department of Justice. Every effort has been made to prepare accurate information. In some instances, this document mentions officials without the “United States Attorney” title, who nevertheless served under federal appointment to enforce the laws of the United States in federal territories prior to statehood and the creation of a federal judicial district. INTRODUCTION In this, the Bicentennial Year of the United States Constitution, the people of America find cause to celebrate the principles formulated at the inception of the nation Alexis de Tocqueville called, “The Great Experiment.” The experiment has worked, and the survival of the Constitution is proof of that.

As United States Senator from 1833 to 18M+, he established a record for political integrity, honesty, and courage that made him a valuable leader of the Democratic Party and gained for him the respect of the Whig opposition. Wright's position in Washington as a presidential liaison in the Senate caused him to play an influential role in both the Jackson and Van Bur9:1 administrations. He maintained a highly developed sense of political Idealism throughout his career. Although Wright was aware of the snares of political corruption that continually beset national politicians, his record remained irreproachable and untainted.^ The conditions of political life during the Jacksonian era were an affront to Wright's sense of idealism- Gradually disillusioned by the political .
