  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • Oregon Historical Quarterly | Winter 2019 "White Supremacy
    Oregon Historical Quarterly Winter 2019 SPECIAL ISSUE White Supremacy & Resistance in this issue Violence on Tribal Peoples of the Oregon Coast; Settler Sovereignty Formation in Oregon; White Egalitarianism and the Oregon Donation Land Claim Act; George Williams’s Anti-Slavery Letter; Abolitionists in Oregon; Labor and White Right; Liberty Ships and Jim Crow Shipyards; Struggle to Admit African Americans into ILWU, Local 8; Nativism to White Power; The Murder of Mulugeta Seraw THIS PROGRAM, from the St. Rose Church Men’s Club’s ninth annual minstrel show, is an example of how OHS Research Library, Coll. 835 Library, OHS Research racism and White supremacy can take many forms that are accepted in mainstream society. As detailed in the program, participants dressed in blackface and performed skits for audiences in Portland, Oregon. Programs in the OHS Research Library collection indicate the church performed minstrel shows from the 1940s until at least 1950. During that time, the church moved the show from a single performance at Grant High School to two performances at Civic Auditorium. ON THE COVER: On May 26, 2017, White supremacist Jeremy Christian verbally attacked two young women, one wearing a hijab, on a light-rail train in Portland, Oregon. Three men intervened, and Christian killed Ricky Best and Taliesin Namkai-Meche, while severely injuring Micah Fletcher. In the days following the attack, a powerful, tangible response from the community developed at the Hollywood MAX station — a memorial to the victims that included chalk messages, photographs, candles, and flowers. Jackie Labrecque, then a reporter for KATU News, took this photograph at dawn after someone wrote, in pink chalk, Taliesin Namkai-Meche’s final words: “Please tell everyone on this train I love them.” The memorial, a response to tragedy, also provided hope through a resounding denouncement of hate.

  • THE SHARPS RIFLE EPISODE in KANSAS HISTORY the Kansas Struggle Was Indeed the Prelude to the Civil War. the First Armed Conflict
    THE SHARPS RIFLE EPISODE IN KANSAS HISTORY THE Kansas struggle was indeed the prelude to the Civil War. The first armed conflict between the North and the South began, not at Fort Sumter in 1861, but on the Wakarusa and at Law­ rence in 1855. The desperate strife for the possession of this virgin soil was the necessary introduction to the awful carnage of the sixties. Many leaders on both sides foresaw with remark­ able clearness that an impending crisis was at hand and that Kansas would be a decisive factor in the approaching conflict. Senator Atchison of Missouri, writing in September, 1855, to his Southern friends who were gathered to celebrate the anniversary of the battle at King's Mountain, fervently solicited their aid, say­ ing that "the [Kansas] contest . is one of life and death, and it will be so with you and your institution if we fail ... the stake the' border ruffians' are playing for is a mighty one ... in a word, the prosperity or the ruin of the whole South depends on the Kansas struggle." 1 Horace Greeley, but a few months earlier, with equal prophetic vision, wrote his celebrated "Rising Cloud" edi­ toriaI,2 predicting that the great battle between Freedom and Slavery was at hand; that the little cloud hovering over a hand­ ful of people in the far West foreshadowed the coming storm; that the distant rumble of the tempest could already be heard, and that the mischief there brewing was not alone for Kansas. No wonder that both sides in this great controversy threw themselves into the contest with such impetuous intensity, such determination and abandonment, often forgetting or ignoring the most vital principles of right action, and yet rising to such lofty exhibitions of heroism, courage, patience, self-sacrifice, and suffering as to move every section of the nation to proffer aid and sympathy.

Constitutional Convention IV/0rdinances/3 December 9, 1955 RESEARCH MATERIAL from Committee on Ordinances and Transitory Measures Admission of states without prior enabling acts, election of Representatives and appointing Senators before admission and similiar information as recorded in the Library of Congress. THE TENNESSEE PLAN THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Washington 25, D.C Legislative Reference Service ELECTION OF CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATIONS TO THE ACCORDING OF STATEHOOD I. Introduction Fifteen geographical units of the United States entered the Union without the prior authority of enabling acts. Nine were organized Ter­ ritories: Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Oregon Tennessee, and Wyoming. Four had been parts of other States, and were admitted as separate entities; these were Kentucky (fashioned from terri­ tory formerly within the jurisdiction of Virginia); Maine (from Massa­ chusetts); Vermont (from New York); and West Virginia (from Virginia). Another political entity— Texas— was an independent republic prior to its annexation by the United States; and its "enabling act” was incor­ porated in the joint resolution of annexation, part of which states: "...First, said State to be formed...; and the constitution thereof, with the proper evidence of its adoption by the people of said Republic of Texas, shall be transmitted to the President of the United States, to be laid before Congress for its final action, on or before the first 1/ day of January, one thousand eight hundred and forty-six...” Still another geographical unit, California, was an unorganized area subject to the hegemony of a United States Army general who served as de facto governor.

    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY VOLUMEXXXIII MARCH, 1937 NUMBER1 Insurgent Democrats of Indiana and Illinois in 1854’ MILDRED C. STOLER Before the actual beginning of debate on the Nebraska measure of 1854, the “Appeal of the Independent Democrats” was given to the public. It was the the work of Senator Salmon P. Chase. It was signed by him, Senator Charles Sumner and four members of the House.2 The “Appeal” was widely pub- lished, and excerpts from it appeared in a vast number of newspapers. By the time the Kansas-Nebraska Act became a law in May, a great opposition to the abrogation of the anti- slavery restriction of the Missouri Compromise had developed. Much of this was certainly due to the effectiveness of the “Ap- peal”, which included the following passages well calculated to arouse deep hostility to the measure championed by Doug- las : We arraign this bill as a gross violation of a sacred pledge; as a criminal betrayal of precious rights; as part and parcel of an atrocious plot to exclude from a vast unoccupied region immigrants from the old world, and free laborers from our own States, and convert it into a dreary region of despotism, inhabited by masters and slaves. Take your maps fellow citizens, we entreat you and see what coun- try it is which this bill, gratuitously, proposes to open to slavery. We appeal to the people. We warn you that the dearest interests of freedom and the Union are in imminent peril. Demagogues may tell yon that the Union can be maintained only by submitting to the de- mands of slavery.
