  • OHIO SOCIETY of NEW YORK Grandson of Virginia, That Is to Say
    OHIO SOCIETY OF NEW YORK grandson of Virginia, that is to say, my grandfather (my father's father) was born in Virginia, and that makes me once a grandson of Virginia, and, in common with most of you, I am a son of Ohio, and Ohio is a daughter of Virginia, and that makes me twice a grandson of Virginia. "I presume it is time to get around to my subject. I went into the library of the Ohio Society of New York, where they keep those 'weakly' papers the other night, and looked over such records and books as they had bearing upon the constitutional convention of 1802; and then I went to a stenographer and dictated a speech. I read it this evening before I came here and concluded it was not worth reading to you; but the subject, whether the speech be interesting or not, is a very interesting one. The state of Ohio is simply a part of that great northwest territory which com- prised the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and a portion of Minnesota. " To understand the constitutional convention of 1802 you must for a moment go back of that year. There was a controversy as to where this northwest territory was to go at the end of the Revolutionary War; and, just twenty years before the state constitution was made, in 1782, the com- missioners on the part of the government of Great Britain and her re- volted colonies in the United States were endeavoring to fix a boundary line. The American commissioners said it must be the chain of the great lakes, and the British commissioners said the Ohio River.

  • 1489 Johnson PRODUCTION
    “IMPOST BEGAT CONVENTION” “IMPOST BEGAT CONVENTION”: ALBANY AND NEW YORK CONFRONT THE RATIFICATION OF THE CONSTITUTION Calvin H. Johnson* INTRODUCTION The Philadelphia Convention framed the text of the U.S. Constitution in 1787 that was only a proposal to be given effect only by ratification by the states.1 Ratification was debated in New York with partisan vigor; indeed, participants on either side of the divide were said to detest each other.2 New York ratification is important enough to look at again, perhaps as a synecdoche for the whole, but at least to illuminate the meaning of the Constitution in one important segment of the ratification debates. The critical framework for New York’s 1788 debates over ratification was set by the debates over the 1783 proposal to nationalize the tax on imports, called the “impost.”3 New York vetoed the 1783 impost proposal, according to the Federalists, to * John T. Witt Chair, University of Texas Law School. This article originated as a presentation to the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic, which met in Springfield, Illinois, on July 17, 2009, to celebrate the publication of the five volumes of the New York debate in the multivolume: Documentary History of the Ratification of the Constitution. The author wishes to thank co-panelists Pauline Maier and John Kaminiski for making this project so delightful.

    THE FEDERALISTS AND THE WEST 1783-1803 Michael Allen The emigrants to the frontier lands ... are the least worthy subjects in the United States. They are little less savage than the Indians; and when possessed— of the most fertile spots, for want of Industry, live miserably. timothy Pickering to rufus king, 1785 1 the American Revolution, thousands of pioneers poured Followingover the Allegheny and Appalachian mountains into Western Pennsylvania, the Ohio country, Kentucky, and Tennessee. This west- ward surge of the 1780s was just the beginning of what would become the "Great Migration" of the 1800s. Meanwhile in Congress, the Confederation government began to formulate a policy for the West — to establish territorial government, to provide for sales of the public lands, and to make treaties with the Indians as well as the British and Spanish in the trans-Appalachian West. As the Confederation Congress began to create the first American western policy, it soon became obvious that there was considerable disagreement over just what that policy should be. The division over the West was largely sectional, but ithad great political implications. Eastern Nationalists, 2 those northeasterners who advocated more power for the national gov- ernment (ultimately via the federal Constitution), were wary of west- ward expansion. Men like John Jay, Rufus King, Timothy Pickering, Nathan Dane, and Gouverneur Morris feared that new western states Michael Allen was born and raised in Ellensburg, Washington. After serving in the Marine Corps in Vietnam, he received his B.A. from Central Washington State College in 1974, and his M.A.in history from the University of Montana in1977.

  • Book Reviews 161
    Book Reviews 161 The Rise of the West, 175.4-1830. By Francis S. Philbrick. (New York: Harper and Row, 1966. Pp. xvii, 398. Notes, maps, illustrations, appendix, index. $6.00.) In American history the West is not only an area, a population, or a manner of living but an expression of the love of men and women as they search for better lives. In this addition to The New American Nation Series, Francis Philbrick proposes to sacrifice the romance and idealism of the West in favor of truth. The author correctly treats the early West as a part of the British Empire. He examines the problems and subsequent weak solutions of British colonial policy between 1754 and the Treaty of Paris ending the Revolutionary War. Americans quickly discovered that independence was not a panacea, and that the newly formed Confederation government had inherited many difficulties. Conflicting land claims among states, the validity of individual land grants, and the controlling of Indian relations pointed to the need for regulation of western land. Confederation committees chosen for organization of government in the Northwest squarely faced these problems. Philbrick contrasts the land ordinance of 1785 with its famous successor two years later and contends that the Jeffersonian stamp of the earlier ordinance gave way to a plan by eastern conserva- tives led by Rufus King and Nathan Dane. Philbrick’s argument- previously presented by Merrill Jensen-makes certain that the reader credits the Ordinance of 1787 to Nathan Dane. This book is something of a revisionist effort. The author minimizes the importance that the West had in affecting democratic institutions and criticizes the scholarship-or lack of scholarship-of Frederick Jackson Turner.

HOEFLICH* Historians of Hellenistic religion frequently characterize it as one in which the teachings and practices of a number of ancient religions were both known and influential. Individuals were free to select, from among these different religious traditions, those tenets and rituals with which they felt most comfortable. They were thus able to fashion completely new religions to their liking. I often have thought this notion of syncretism is equally useful for understanding the first period in the legal history of our nation. The Founding Fathers, their children, and their grandchildren found themselves living in a new nation where they were not just free to innovate legally, but obligated to do so. They had at their disposal, of course, the long English tradition of common law.
