A PUBLIC SERVANT AND PRIVATE CITIZEN ........... 353 BIBLIOGRAPHY.............................................448 ill INTRODUCTION By the early l8M-0's, the United States was well on the road to its irrepressible conflict. The slavery controversy had split the nation into two separate and distinct camps. One advocated that slavery should no longer be allowed to spread its ugly venom into the emerging West, while the other strongly championed the right of private property, ra­ cial superiority, and constitution legality. Thus, an age of anxiety and frustration was enveloping the nation. The future was faced with an intense awareness that no land could exist with such an open fissure; or, as the Great Emancipator would vividly state, "half slave and half free". Anxious parents could justifiably be concerned about what type of world their young children had entered. They could ponder whether such a setting would permit their off­ spring to grow and develop with the intense optimism and en­ thusiasm so typically characteristic of the expanding na­ tion. How would the children of the time be able to adjust to the fomenting crisis? With the advantage of hindsight, we know that the crisis reached a climax during the i860's. Because of these strife torn years, a young man born in those earlier years of the debate, would grow up with a dis­ tinct set of traits and beliefs which would leave indelible marks on his character. As the war ended, America was on 2 the threshold of an economic and industrial growth unparal­ leled in its history. Could a young man, nurtured with an intense belief in individualism, equality, and freedom, a- dapt himself to the ensuing business consolidations, trust combinations, and labor organizations? After having lived during such intensely emotional times and having developed and held a set of beliefs with a firmness and steadfastness that so often marks and holds captive an advocate of a mor­ al cause, could one ever completely lose such an experience? It is the purpose of this study to look at one such man and to examine how he was able to adapt himself to this sit­ uation. It would be far too presumptuous to state that James Edwin Campbell was typical of all men born under sim­ ilar circumstances. Yet, it can be stated that he was re­ presentative of a certain group of men who early in life faced the slavery controversy and were filled with a deep love of individual liberty, freedom, and equality. They tenaciously held to these early values and never felt that they could or should compromise, alter, or change such bas­ ic principles. As the world changed about them, they talked, wrote, and acted as if the nation were still predom­ inately the simple agrarian land they experienced in their early years. Possibly they recognized the changing politi­ cal, social, and economic philosophies which they unknowing­ ly helped bring about. However, they also recalled vividly their earlier lives which so strongly affected their values. CHAPTER I EARLY YEARS President William Henry Harrison's sudden death within a month of his inauguration in l84l had amply demonstrated to the nation the sometimes strange workings of the American political system. His successor, John Tyler of Virginia, true to his Southern tradition, failed to represent the views of the majority of the Whig Party as its titular lead­ er. The party was at best a loose coalition, and Tyler championed a states' rights philosophy of a low tariff, slavery, and expansion held by a minority In the party. Additionally, he was opposed to internal improvements at federal expense, free lands, and a national bank. Other Whigs, and particularly Henry Clay, were sadly disillusioned with these views and his actions and looked forward to the next presidential election with hopes of victory and a change in fundamental policies. In Ohio, the home of the late president, the jubilation of victory had been quickly dimmed by the actions of the Virginia. Thomas Ewing of Lancaster, Ohio, who had proudly accepted the position of Secretary of the Treasury, and who thus became the first cabinet officer from the state, was equally disillusioned. Ewing joined his cabinet colleagues. 4 with the exception of Daniel Webster, the Secretary of State, in submitting their protesting resignations. Shortly there­ after, another Buckeye, John McLean received a proffered ap­ pointment as Secretary of War by Tyler but refused, deciding 1 to remain as Justice of the Supreme Court. On the state level, the Whigs in Ohio generally repre­ sented the propertied Interests. Thomas Corwin had gained the governorship for them at the time of the Harrison vic­ tory. Because of the rupture within the Whig ranks on the national scene, the Democrats were able to win back the top executive post of the state in 1842. The new victor, Wilson Shannon, who many believed was supported by the Tyler Whigs, declared a belief in a "well-guarded and well- restricted system of local banks," a material concession to 2 the Whig program. Later, the state legislature, with a Democratic majority, enacted a law granting special banking privileges to the Bank of Wooster. Thereafter, the local Democrats were faced wlth an internal split similar to that of their rivals. Each of the political parties failed to represent all its members; rather, they usually were the ve­ hicle of expression for an interest group which by no means was indicative of the policies or beliefs of all their Eugene H. Roseboom and Francis P. Weisenburger, A His­ tory of Ohio (Columbus, The Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society, 19^8), p. 158. ^Ibid.. p. 161. 5 associates. During these years of political division, James Edwin Campbell was born in Middletown, Ohio, July 7, 184], to Laura Reynolds Campbell and Andrew Campbell, a successful surgeon.^ He was to be the only son of these proud parents, both of whom came from a sturdy, pioneer stock that gave to the Miami Valley at an early date a characteristic distinc­ tion that its children have ever cherished and enjoyed. Later, when Campbell was Governor of Ohio he boasted that his parents were also born in the Buckeye state. In a con­ versation with Governor Loundsbury of Connecticut, Campbell related that his father and mother were born in Ohio and "that the proudest thing in my life was that I was the first Governor whose parents were born in Ohio . In a more poetic vain upon numerous occasions he would aver that Ophia D. Smith, "James E.

His son Samuel, the grandfather of James Edwin, was born in 1781 and subsequently moved to Ohio in 1795* He was a sol­ dier in the War of 1812. Samuel's wife, Mary Small, born in 1736, was the daughter of Andrew Small, who had moved to Ohio in 1796 after having completed three and a half years of service and attained the rank of ensign in the Revolu- 7 tionary War. Thus, Andrew Campbell was the product of two fairly well established and honorable families which had aided the young nation in gaining and preserving its inde­ pendence . Andrew Campbell spent his entire life in Butler County, Ohio.

Abstract The constitutional placement of the vice president as the president of the Senate is a unique feature of the chamber. It places control over the Senate's rules and precedents under an individual who is not elected by the chamber and receives no direct benefits from the maintenance of its institutions. We argue that this feature has played an important role in the Senate's development. The vice president has frequently acted in a manner that conflicted with the wishes of chamber majorities. Consequently, senators have been reluctant to allow cham- ber power to be centralized under their largely unaccountable presiding officer. This fear has prevented the Senate from allowing its chair to reduce dilatory action, as the House has done. Accordingly, delay via the filibuster, has become commonplace in the Senate. Such delay has reduced the Senate's efficiency, but has largely freed it from the potential influence of the executive branch.

  • Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett
    Spring Grove Cemetery, once characterized as blending "the elegance of a park with the pensive beauty of a burial-place," is the final resting- place of forty Cincinnatians who were generals during the Civil War. Forty For the Union: Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett f the forty Civil War generals who are buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, twenty-three had advanced from no military experience whatsoever to attain the highest rank in the Union Army. This remarkable feat underscores the nature of the Northern army that suppressed the rebellion of the Confed- erate states during the years 1861 to 1865. Initially, it was a force of "inspired volunteers" rather than a standing army in the European tradition. Only seven of these forty leaders were graduates of West Point: Jacob Ammen, Joshua H. Bates, Sidney Burbank, Kenner Garrard, Joseph Hooker, Alexander McCook, and Godfrey Weitzel. Four of these seven —Burbank, Garrard, Mc- Cook, and Weitzel —were in the regular army at the outbreak of the war; the other three volunteered when the war started. Only four of the forty generals had ever been in combat before: William H. Lytle, August Moor, and Joseph Hooker served in the Mexican War, and William H. Baldwin fought under Giuseppe Garibaldi in the Italian civil war. This lack of professional soldiers did not come about by chance. When the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787, its delegates, who possessed a vast knowledge of European history, were determined not to create a legal basis for a standing army. The founding fathers believed that the stand- ing armies belonging to royalty were responsible for the endless bloody wars that plagued Europe.

    EnterText 1.1 NIALL PALMER “Muckfests and Revelries”: President Warren G. Harding in Fact and Fiction This article will assess the development of the posthumous reputation of President Warren Gamaliel Harding (1921-23) through an examination of key historical and literary texts in Harding historiography. The article will argue that the president’s image has been influenced by an unusual confluence of factors which have both warped history’s assessment of his administration and retarded efforts at revisionism. As a direct consequence, the stereotypical, deeply negative, portrait of Harding remains rooted in the nation’s consciousness and the “rehabilitation” afforded to many presidents by revisionist writers continues to be denied to the man still widely-regarded as the worst president of the twentieth century. “Historians,” Eugene Trani and David Wilson observed in 1977, “have not been gentle with Warren G. Harding.”1 In successive surveys of American political scientists, historians and journalists, undertaken to rank presidents by achievement, vision and leadership skills, the twenty-ninth president consistently comes last.2 The Chicago Sun- Times, publishing the findings of fifty-eight presidential historians and political scientists in November 1995, placed Warren Harding at the head of the list of “The Ten Worst” Niall Palmer: Muckfests and Revelries 155 EnterText 1.1 Presidents.3 A 1996 New York Times poll branded Harding an outright “failure,” alongside two presidents who presided over the pre-Civil War crisis, Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan. The academic merit and methodological underpinnings of such surveys are inevitably flawed. Nonetheless, in most cases, presidential status assessments are fluid, reflecting the fluctuations of contemporary opinion and occasional waves of academic revisionism.
