But lest the editors be held liable, Vanity Fair had warned one and all that reading Whitman's poetry carried risk.

  • The Paradoxes of Political Parties in American Constitutional Development
    Prepared by Richard J. Hardy for the German-American Conference Sponsored by the Center for Civic Education Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana—March 5, 2011 The Paradoxes of Political Parties in American Constitutional Development Richard J. (Rick) Hardy Professor of Political Science Western Illinois University “No America without democracy, no democracy without politics, no politics without parties, no parties without compromise and moderation.” –Clinton Rossiter1 It is impossible to comprehend the workings of the United States constitutional system without a firm grasp of American political parties. A political party is a group of people with shared interests or principles that are organized to nominate candidates for public office in order to win elections, control government and set public policy.2 Yet, American political parties often defy simple explanations. They are complex, multi-faceted organizations with varying functions and ever- changing personnel, perspectives and positions on public policies. And attempts to analyze political parties are reminiscent of John Godfrey Saxe’s 19th century parable of the “Blind Men of Hindustan” feeling an elephant.3 One blind man felt the behemoth’s side and called it a wall, another touched its trunk and declared it a snake, while another felt a tusk and proclaimed it a spear. Like the proverbial blind men of Hindustan, close scholars of the American constitutional system often “see” political parties from different vantages. Political parties have been analyzed in terms of elections, governmental organizations, and positions on issues. Many scholars concentrate on the respective parties’ leaders, while others study their identifiers or voters at the grassroots level. Some contend that parties have become too powerful, while others believe parties need to be strengthened and more responsible.4 American citizens, too, maintain conflicting views of political parties.

    <6tutalngy nf tltt &axe Ji amily 3 FOREWORD ''There is a moral arnd philosophical respect for our ancestors which elevates the character and improves the hea.rt.', -DANIEL WEBSTER. To a descendant of one Jacob Saxe or Sax, a Hessian soldier, who came to America at the time of the Revolu­ tionary War, is due the existence of this Genealogy of the descendants of John. In January, 1929, Hon. William D. Morrow wrote me asking information as to the kinship to our Saxes of Edna Sophia Saxe l:lorrow, his ,vife. I com­ municated with several members of the family and, in the course of my inquiries, Horace Eugene Allen generously sent me a manuscript compiled for him by Hannah Saxe Drury, his grandmother, in her eighty-first year. It was her interesting manuscript, in turn, which suggested the idea of preparing some printed record of John Saxe and his descendants. During July to December, 1929, Mrs. Drury's manuscript has been edited and much informa­ tion added, some as to the earlier generations, and a great deal as to the later ones. I gratefully acknowledge the active cooperation of many members of the family, in­ cluding: Frank J. Saxe. Mrs. Clarence E. Allen. Horace Eugene Allen. Miss Lilian Elizabeth Saxe Colt. Mrs. Louise E. Jennison. Miss Mary S·. Saxe. James A. Saxe. Charles William Saxe. Herbert K. Saxe. Howard A. Saxe. J. Boardman Scovell. :l\Iiss Fannie E. ,,read. Charles lVliner Wead. [over] 4 It is also interesting to record that lfr. Morrow and I, after being at very considerable pains to try to establish kinship between the two S'axe families, have been unable t.o do so-at least up to date.
