That is the best reason for the pre­ eminent position which this store occupies at the present time. G[ The newest things are always here first. The choicest values—the best qualities are always here. The unusual price features which the action of trade in its devious channel from maker to consumer produces, are also found in abundance at McCurdy's. And because our friends know that this is so, and can rely upon its being so, we have been successful in building up the largest garment and millinery business in Rochester. Q Little things make for large successes. With us the small details have always been of transcending importance. We carry large stocks. We have most excellent store service. Distribu­ tion, facilities are perfectly organized. And still we always look after the little things, and see some little way to improve every day. Of course, we are ambitious. We look forward hopefully to a bigger and better store—to still larger facilities—to broader and more comprehensive merchandising in future. But it is chiefly for the purpose of serving you better and better as Rochester grows in size and importance. McCurdy & Norwell Co. Rochester, N.

  • The Democratic Party and the Transformation of American Conservatism, 1847-1860
    PRESERVING THE WHITE MAN’S REPUBLIC: THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICAN CONSERVATISM, 1847-1860 Joshua A. Lynn A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Harry L. Watson William L. Barney Laura F. Edwards Joseph T. Glatthaar Michael Lienesch © 2015 Joshua A. Lynn ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Joshua A. Lynn: Preserving the White Man’s Republic: The Democratic Party and the Transformation of American Conservatism, 1847-1860 (Under the direction of Harry L. Watson) In the late 1840s and 1850s, the American Democratic party redefined itself as “conservative.” Yet Democrats’ preexisting dedication to majoritarian democracy, liberal individualism, and white supremacy had not changed. Democrats believed that “fanatical” reformers, who opposed slavery and advanced the rights of African Americans and women, imperiled the white man’s republic they had crafted in the early 1800s. There were no more abstract notions of freedom to boundlessly unfold; there was only the existing liberty of white men to conserve. Democrats therefore recast democracy, previously a progressive means to expand rights, as a way for local majorities to police racial and gender boundaries. In the process, they reinvigorated American conservatism by placing it on a foundation of majoritarian democracy. Empowering white men to democratically govern all other Americans, Democrats contended, would preserve their prerogatives. With the policy of “popular sovereignty,” for instance, Democrats left slavery’s expansion to territorial settlers’ democratic decision-making.

This was in the year 1895. 1 began the task, but before it had far progressed it offered what seemed to me insurmountable obstacles, so that for a time the collection of data concerning the early rulers of the state was entirely abandoned. A few years later the work was again resumed and carried to completion. The manuscript was requested by a magazine editor for publication and appeared serially in " The Connecticut Magazine." To R ev. Samuel Hart, D.D., president of the Connecticut Historical Society, I express my gratitude for his assistance in deciding some matters which were subject to controversy.

  • The Democratic Split During Buchanan's Administration
    THE DEMOCRATIC SPLIT DURING BUCHANAN'S ADMINISTRATION By REINHARD H. LUTHIN Columbia University E VER since his election to the presidency of the United States Don the Republican ticket in 1860 there has been speculation as to whether Abraham Lincoln could have won if the Democratic party had not been split in that year.' It is of historical relevance to summarize the factors that led to this division. Much of the Democratic dissension centered in the controversy between President James Buchanan, a Pennsylvanian, and United States Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois. The feud was of long standing. During the 1850's those closest to Buchanan, par- ticularly Senator John Slidell of Louisiana, were personally antagonistic toward Douglas. At the Democratic national conven- tion of 1856 Buchanan had defeated Douglas for the presidential nomination. The Illinois senator supported Buchanan against the Republicans. With Buchanan's elevation to the presidency differences between the two arose over the formation of the cabinet.2 Douglas went to Washington expecting to secure from the President-elect cabinet appointments for his western friends William A. Richardson of Illinois and Samuel Treat of Missouri. But this hope was blocked by Senator Slidell and Senator Jesse D. Bright of Indiana, staunch supporters of Buchanan.

In 2009 New York celebrated the Quadricentennial anniversary of Henry Hudson’s sailing the Hudson River. In continuing with this tradition New York offers a wide variety of on water recreational activities from offshore sailing in the Atlantic Ocean and Long Island Sound to quiet paddles in picturesque Adirondack lakes. Boaters may also travel along the New York State Canal System connecting Eastern and Western New York by water. For these reasons it is easy to see why New York State is a leader in the number of vessels registered with almost 480,000 registered boats and many other vessels that do not require registration.

  • Physical Accomplishment, Spiritual Power, and Indian Masculinity in Early-Seventeenth-Century New England
    Ethnohistory ‘‘Ranging Foresters’’ and ‘‘Women-Like Men’’: Physical Accomplishment, Spiritual Power, and Indian Masculinity in Early-Seventeenth-Century New England R. Todd Romero, University of Houston Abstract. Through an examination of seventeenth-century English sources and later Indian folklore, this article illustrates the centrality of religion to defining mascu- linity among Algonquian-speaking Indians in southern New England. Manly ideals were represented in the physical and spiritual excellence of individual living men like the Penacook sachem-powwow Passaconaway and supernatural entities like Maushop. For men throughout the region, cultivating and maintaining spiritual associations was essential to success in the arenas of life defining Indian mascu- linity: games, hunting, warfare, governance, and marriage. As is stressed through- out the essay, masculinity was also juxtaposed with femininity in a number of important ways in Indian society. In seventeenth-century New England, colonial observers often derided In- dian men, contending that ‘‘these ranging foresters,’’ as William Wood once termed them, failed to work and act as men should and offered a potentially dangerous example to the disorderly elements of Anglo-American society. In a typical seventeenth-century English assessment of Indian gender roles, Wood claimed that Indian wives were ‘‘more loving, pitiful, and modest, mild, provident, and laborious than their lazy husbands.’’1 Examining these conceits, scholars have often stressed that such views tell us more about English gender ideals than they reveal about the structure of Indian society. Correctly casting the English hostility toward male Indian gender roles as ethnocentric bias, such work takes special pains to stress the comparative egalitarianism of Native American gender relations.

  • President-Elect in Springfield (1860-1861)
    Chapter Seventeen “I Will Suffer Death Before I Will Consent to Any Concession or Compromise”: President-elect in Springfield (1860-1861) During the four months separating his election from his inauguration, Lincoln faced the daunting challenge of Southern secession. Though he would not officially take power until March 1861, his party looked to him for guidance. Like most Republicans, he was startled when the Cotton States made good their supposedly idle threats to withdraw from the Union.1 Should they be allowed to go in peace? Should they be forcibly resisted? Should they be conciliated or appeased? What compromise measures might preserve national unity without sacrificing the party’s principles? Radicals like Zachariah Chandler believed “all will be well” if Lincoln would only “‘Stand like an Anvil when the sparks fall thick & fast, a fiery shower,’” but some Republicans feared that he would not do so.2 A few days after the election, Charles Francis Adams viewed Southern threats to secede as a means “to frighten Mr Lincoln at the outset, and to compel him to declare himself in opposition to the principles of the party that has elected him.” Adams confessed that the awaited the president-elect’s 1 David M.
