    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY VOLUMEXXXIII MARCH, 1937 NUMBER1 Insurgent Democrats of Indiana and Illinois in 1854’ MILDRED C. STOLER Before the actual beginning of debate on the Nebraska measure of 1854, the “Appeal of the Independent Democrats” was given to the public. It was the the work of Senator Salmon P. Chase. It was signed by him, Senator Charles Sumner and four members of the House.2 The “Appeal” was widely pub- lished, and excerpts from it appeared in a vast number of newspapers. By the time the Kansas-Nebraska Act became a law in May, a great opposition to the abrogation of the anti- slavery restriction of the Missouri Compromise had developed. Much of this was certainly due to the effectiveness of the “Ap- peal”, which included the following passages well calculated to arouse deep hostility to the measure championed by Doug- las : We arraign this bill as a gross violation of a sacred pledge; as a criminal betrayal of precious rights; as part and parcel of an atrocious plot to exclude from a vast unoccupied region immigrants from the old world, and free laborers from our own States, and convert it into a dreary region of despotism, inhabited by masters and slaves. Take your maps fellow citizens, we entreat you and see what coun- try it is which this bill, gratuitously, proposes to open to slavery. We appeal to the people. We warn you that the dearest interests of freedom and the Union are in imminent peril. Demagogues may tell yon that the Union can be maintained only by submitting to the de- mands of slavery.

PROGRESS, AND PRESENT POSITION OF METHODISM IN THE STATE; AND ALSO A HISTORY OF THE LITERARY INSTITUTIONS UNDER THE CARE OF THE CHURCH, SKETCHES OF THE PRINCIPAL METHODIST EDUCATORS IN THE STATE, DOWN TO 1872. REV F C. HOLLIDAY, D. D. CINCINNATI: HITCHCOCK AND WALDEN i873- Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1873, BY HITCHCOCK & WALDEN, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C. PREFACE. TN writing the following account of Methodism in In- *- diana, I have desired not only to rescue from oblivion valuable information that would soon be lost, but also to pay a feeble, but justly merited, tribute to the heroic pioneers and founders of Methodism in our state. The record of their toils is found chiefly in the numerous and flourishing Churches that have sprung up all over the state, in the multitudes of living witnesses to the truth and power of the Gospel that they preached, in the schools of learning which they founded, in the vigor of the benovolent institutions which they fostered, and in the educational effect produced by their earnest and evangelical preaching on the public mind and conscience. The pulpit is always a popular educator, and its teachings are the basis of doctrinal belief, to a great ex- tent, in every Christian community This is especially true in a community where books are scarce, and in a state of society where the opportunities for reading are limited.

  • The History of the Know Nothing Party in Indiana by CARL FREMONTBRAND, A
    The History of the Know Nothing Party In Indiana BY CARL FREMONTBRAND, A. M. INTRODUCTION This study of the Know Nothing party was undertaken at the sug- gestion of Dr. Logan Esarey at Indiana university. One of the most powerful movements in our political history has received comparatively little attention from historians. This may be due to two causes: first, it disappeared as suddenly and silently as it arose, apparently having had but little permanent effect on our politics or institutions; and second, the traces it left were few. It is a difficult task to write the history of a secret society from the reports which become public. The newspapers of the time were full of Know Nothing news, but it was the opponents of the order who were so anxious to publish anything they could learn about it. Those who were favorable were pledged to secrecy and pretended to know nothing at all about the organization. The result of this situation is that the Know Nothings must be studied in a great measure from the reports of their enemies. The records of the various councils would have been the best source, but they seem in practically every instance to have been destroyed when the council disbanded. It has been impossible to gain access to the private papers of Col. Richard W. Thompson and other leaders of the party. Until these become available, we will have to be content with the information that newspapers and contemporary political literature can give. THE ORIGIN OF KNOWNOTHINGISM Political nativism in the United States divides itself natur- ally into three periods.

    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY VOLUMEXXXVI September, 1940 No. 3 The Democratic Element in the New Republican Party in Indiana MILDREDC. STOLER A study of the influence in the Republican Party of the insurgent Democrats who joined the new party in the eighteen-fifties is of much interest. In 1856, the Republican presidential candidate had formerly been a Democrat, while in 1860, it was the vice-presidential nominee who had once been a member of the Democratic party. In 1856, Republican newspapers pointed with pride to new recruits from the ranks of their opponents. The issues that caused Democrats to leave their party were the Administration policy on slav- ery and on internal improvements, opposition to the decision of the party on such local issues as the legal prohibition of intoxicating liquor, and various other special questions. Of these, the first named had the greatest potency. The Kansas- Nebraska Act of 1854 repealed the anti-slavery provision of the Missouri Compromise of 1820, and thus repudiated the principle that Congress had constitutional authority for pro- hibiting slavery in the territories. It endorsed instead the pnn- ciple that the slavery question should be settled by the people of the territory “subject only to the Constitution of the United States.” Those Democrats who opposed this Act united in 1854 with other groups of Indiana who were opposed to the Democratic party to form the People’s Party, forerunner of the Republican Party in Indiana.’ During the next two years constant efforts were made in Indiana, as elsewhere, to construct from the heterogeneous 1 For n detailed ncamnt of the nnti-Nebraalcn revolt of 1854 in Indian.
