The first will be a great and total eclipse, on Friday March 15th, at 9h. 28m. morning, but by reason of the moon's south latitude, her shadow will not touch any part of North America. The course of the general eclipse will be from southwest to north- east, from the Pacific Ocean a little west of Chili to the Arabian Gulf and southeastern part of the Mediterranean Sea. The termination of this grand and sublime phenomenon will probably be witnessed from the summit of some of those stupendous monuments of ancient industry and folly, the vast and lofty pyramids on the banks of the Nile in lower Egypt. The principal cities and places that will be to- tally shadowed in this eclipse, are Valparaiso, Mendoza, Cordova, Assumption, St. Salvador and Pernambuco, in South America, and Sierra Leone, Teemboo, Tombucto and Fezzan, in Africa. At each of these places the duration of total darkness will be from one to six minutes, and several of the planets and fixed stars will probably be visible. 2. The other will also be a grand and beautiful eclipse, on Satur- day, September 7th, at 5h. 35m. evening, but on account of the Mnon's low latitude, and happening so late in the afternoon, no part of it will be visible in North America.

Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution of the United States provides that each state shall appoint a number of electors equal to the number of Senators or Representatives to which the state is entitled in Congress. Since Indiana has currently has 9 U.S. Representatives and 2 U.S. Senators, the state is entitled to 11 electors. Q2: What are the requirements to serve as a presidential elector in Indiana?

  • D Ocu Me 11T S the LETTERS of GODLOVE S
    D ocu me 11t s THE LETTERS OF GODLOVE S. ORTH, HOOSIER WHIG Edited by J. HERMANSCHAUINGER With the election of William Henry Harrison to the presidency in 1841, the Whig party took charge of national affairs. His nomination also helped the party in Indiana, but its triumph in the nation and the state was short-lived. Its connection in Indiana with internal improvements, which proved so disastrous after the panic of 1837, was to return to haunt its members during the forties. The death of Har- rison left the national party without adequate leadership and it divided into its various factions. For it was a party of compromise, made up of diverse and incompatible elements, and so was destined to disintegrate and to disappear from the scene. The rise of the slavery issue and the appearance of the Liberty and Free Soil parties was to hasten this dis- integration. Much has been written about the Whig party in the national arena, but comparatively little about its activity in various states. Often national careers began in state poli- tics, and some were terminated by the concurrence of leaders in the various states, who, although not known in national circles, were important political figures at home. The letters of Godlove S. Orth in the period of the 1840’s illustrate these points. The letter of August 16, 1845, con- tains an interesting description of the differences among Indiana Whigs. Other letters reveal the seriousness of the internal improvement issue. Orth’s distrust of General Zach- ary Taylor is also clearly stated, and finally the discourage- ment caused by frequent defeat and the appearance of the Liberty party is evident.

  • Personal Politics in Indiana 1816-1840 ADAM A
    Personal Politics in Indiana 1816-1840 ADAM A. LEONARD (Continued) THE REACTIONAND THE RISE OF THE WHIGS The reign of terror, among office holders, instituted by Jackson had been anticipated by Indiana politicians more than a year before it began. The Terre Haute Register feared it, but the Western Sun, and General Advertiser saw good reason for it. It said in reply to the Register: Certainly there are many offices which cannot have the least bearing on the measures of the general government. But with some offices it is otherwise. As to such, perhaps distinction as to party, might now with propriety be made.1 This feeling apparently was general among the followers of Jackson and no doubt the hope of appointment caused them to put forth more energy to secure a victory than otherwise they would. Jackson’s declaration in January before he came into office, that he has never been, and never would be the cause of the least heart burning, but when slander was resorted to, the country ransacked for secret tales and those promulgated to injure the feelings and character of anyone those capable of such conduct ought to be condemned by all high-minded, honest and honorable men,z came as a welcome bit of information to them. The people of the state were made aware of what they were to expect, when in the first month of his administration Jackson dismissed Gen. William Henry Harrison, as minister to Columbia and appointed Thomas P. Moore. The memory of the Battle of Tippecanoe made Harrison a popular hero in the state and his dismissal brought a storm of protest.

  • Indiana Magazine of History
    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY VOL. XX’VI SEPTEMBER, 1930 NUMBER3 Amos Lane, Advocate of Western Democracy By WENDELLHOLMES STEPHENSON THE CALL OF THE WEST In the quarter-century following the War of 1812, Amos Lane was a familiar figure in southeastern Indiana as he traveled the ill-kept roads and bridle-paths of the third judicial circuit, astride his sixty-dollar horse, “Big Sorrel.” The fash- ionable eel-skin queue and “wilted rorum hat” identified him as an itinerant attorney. Eager for political advancement, he mingled in the court yard with tillers of the soil and hewers of wood and won a seat in the lower branch of the first state legis- lature, which elevated him to the speakership at its second ses- sion. A weathervane in politics, he renounced the nationalism of Adams and Clay for the more popular democracy of Andrew Jackson. Although he boasted “That he wore no collar-no man’s yoke,” so ardently did he defend his hero in congress that he earned the sobriquet of “Wheel Horse.” He surpassed his idol in one respect at least ; he could swear mightier oaths than even the proficient Jackson. A contemporary asserted that when he mounted the stump and hurled sarcasm and in- vective at his political opponents, he was “heard to grit and grind his teeth together fifty yards.”l Indeed his long and loud ebullient tirades annoyed his enemies, and they dubbed him “the Ajax Telamon of the Party.” Like his Greek proto- type, he was always ready to defend his personal honor, al- though it is not of record that he ever served in th.e army.
