Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcot- ics. As the current Court has turned against Bivens—seemingly confining it to three specific contexts created by Bivens and two follow-on decisions in 1979 and 1980—scholars and liti- gants have developed a set of claims to respond to the Court’s critique. The Court now views the judicially created Bivens cause of action and remedy as a separation-of-powers foul; Congress is said to be the institution which should weigh the costs and benefits of allowing constitutional tort suits against federal officers for damages, especially in areas like national security or foreign affairs in which the political branches might be thought to have constitutional primacy.

His researches seem to them a waste of time and energy. Interest in ancestors, love of family and kindred, those subtle questions of race, origin, even of life itself, which they involve, are quite beyond their com prehension. They live only in the present, care nothing for the past and little for the future; for " he who cares not whence he cometh, cares not whither he goeth." When such persons are approached with questions of ancestry, they retire to their stronghold of apathy; and the querist learns, without diffi culty, that whether their ancestors were vile or illustrious, virtuous or vicious, or whether, indeed, they ever had any, is to them a matter of supreme indifference.

  • Introduction the Foundations of Diplomatic Security
    INTRODUCTION THE FOUNDATIONS OF DIPLOMATIC SECURITY INTRODUCTION 8 THE FOUNDATIONS OF DIPLOMATIC SECURITY Diplomatic security is as old as diplomacy itself. Initially, diplomatic security was primarily the secure conveyance of government communications using couriers and codes. The Persian, Babylonian, Egyptian, Chinese, Greek, Roman, Aztec, and Incan empires developed courier services to carry imperial messages. The Greeks and Romans also developed ciphers to preserve confidentiality of diplomatic messages.1 By the Renaissance (1500s), codes had emerged, and Spanish, French, English, Vatican, and Venetian foreign ministers routinely used ciphers and codes when writing to their diplomats abroad. The European monarchies also developed courier networks to carry messages. Courier work was seen as a training ground for diplomats because couriers had to exercise discretion, know the local language, and employ disguises to avoid detection.2 Colonial-era leaders in North America were acutely aware of the need to protect their correspondence. As tensions escalated between Great Britain and its American colonies in the 1760s, the Sons of Liberty communicated with each other by Figure 1: Henry Laurens, U.S. Commissioner to the dropping letters at secretly designated coffee houses or Netherlands. Laurens and his papers were captured by the British while en route to Europe. His papers provided taverns, where sympathetic postmen or ship captains evidence of Dutch aid to the American Revolution and led would pick up and deliver the letters. During the Great Britain to declare war on the Netherlands. Portrait by Pierre Eugène du Simitière, 1783.

  • “Petticoat Government”: the Eaton Affair and Jacksonian Political
    “Petticoat Government”: The Eaton Affair and Jacksonian Political Cultures Declan Mulders-Jones A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of B.A. (Hons) in History. University of Sydney October 2012 1 | P a g e Abstract Though typically trivialised by historians, the Eaton Affair preoccupied Andrew Jackson throughout his first presidency and lived on in nineteenth-century popular memory. This thesis sets aside dismissive, partisan and elitist scholarship, revisiting the contemporary evidence to demonstrate the Eaton Affair comprised two distinct scandals. In doing so, a heretofore unexamined dissonance between the place of women in mass and elite Jacksonian political cultures is also revealed. The clash of these cultures in the Eaton Affair would shape both for years to come: stigmatising “petticoat government” among the masses while severely curtailing its practice within the informal politicking of Washington. 2 | P a g e Acknowledgements: Approaching the end of this endeavour, it is only fitting to thank all those without whom this thesis could not have been written. First and foremost, my thanks go to my thesis supervisor Dr. Michael McDonnell who consistently provided indispensable guidance and feedback throughout the year. Also, to Dr. Frances Clarke and Dr. Nicolas Eckstein for their helpful advice along the way. The fascinating discussions with my Victorianisms and Violence in History seminars added immeasurably to my enjoyment of the Honours year, and sparked many ideas and possibilities. Finally, I would like to thank the friends and family members who served frequently as impromptu sounding boards, patiently listening while I attempted to shatter their preconceptions of events with which they were completely unfamiliar.

It has been made as complete as time had permitted. A complex subject, the Independent Treasury System gauged America's economic development during its years of operation. The Customs is a subject on quite another level, lacking an extensive liter­ ature, although tariff policy has been the subject of much eco­ nomics and historical writing.

  • "The Democracy": Administrative Law from Jackson to Lincoln, 1829-1861
    TH AL LAW JO RAL JERRY L. MASHAW Administration and "The Democracy": Administrative Law from Jackson to Lincoln, 1829-1861 A B S T R A CT. Jacksonian America was a country in rapid transition. Intensified sectional divisions, exponential increases in urbanization and immigration, the rise of factory production, and repeated cycles of economic boom and bust helped to fuel an anxious desire for political reform. For Jacksonian Democrats the answer to this popular yearning was the reconstruction of American democracy- including a broadened electorate, offices open to all, and the elimination of monopoly and other special privileges. Government at the national level was to be kept small and returned to the people. But as is often the case, the institutionalization of democracy demanded a corresponding increase in governmental capacities. Destroying the power of the "Monster Bank" gave new powers and capacities to the Treasury for the management of monetary policy and fiscal transfers. Offices open to all through the new system of "rotation in office" created the need for bureaucratic systems of control that replaced status-based restraints and personal loyalties. And the side effects of technological development, in particular the human carnage that accompanied the rapid expansion of steamboat travel, generated public demand for protection that prompted the creation of a recognizably modern system of health and safety regulation. "The Democracy" established by the Jacksonians both furthered the building of an American administrative state and solidified an emerging nineteenth-century model of American administration law. In that model administrative accountability was preeminently a matter of (1) political oversight and direction and (2) internal hierarchical control.

  • Fellow in the Arts 1828-1831 (LEITERS 195 to 222)
    v Fellow in the Arts 1828-1831 (LEITERS 195 TO 222) THE YEARS FROM 1828 TO 1831 were as happy as any Bryant had ever enjoyed and, despite growing responsibility for his newspaper, as carefree. Through his active part in the programs of the New York Athenaeum and the National Academy of Design, and his collaboration with writers and artists in preparing the successive Talisman volumes, he assumed a central role in the city's cul­ tural life. And his fondness for satire, indulged as a youth in "The Embargo," and as a village lawyer in newspaper essays and in his farce "The Heroes," found targets among the city's fashionables in "The Legend of the Devil's Pulpit," published in The Talisman, and in jeux d'esprit in the Evening Post, such as a verse lampoon of Fanny Wright and repeated spoofs of edi­ torial opponents. As the second Talisman appeared at the close of 1828, its creators formal­ ized their association in a "Sketch Club," or "Twenty-One," which provided convivial gatherings at the homes of its members in rotation, at which they exercised their artistic skills and put together another edition of their annual. The club's intimacy as well as its secrecy were fostered by its limitation to twenty-one members and its obscure announcements of weekly meetings published among the obituaries in the Evening Post. Its gatherings were for the most part frolicsome, with serio-comic themes proposed by the host for varied expression in sketches, verses, or prose articles. But its members also collaborated in more serious projects.

    70 American Antiquarian Society [April, SOME LETTERS OF ANDREW JACKSON BY HENRY P. DEPUY correspondence which forms the major part of this paper covers the presidential campaign of 1824 and ends with a letter written after Jackson's return to Tennessee from Washington in May, 1825. So far as I know only one of these letters has ever been published. The letter of Jackson dated at Washing- ton, February 22, 1825 is known as "the Swartwout letter" and was printed in the "National Advocate" in March 1825, and from that paper it was copied by Parton in his biography of Jackson. In all probability it was copied by many other newspapers of the period. Two other letters contain an invitation to Jackson from some of his sympathizers to attend a dinner, and Jackson's declination. This dinner invitation was known at the time, and is referred to by Parton, but I doubt if the letters themselves have ever before been printed. The originals of these letters are now in the posses- sion of the writer. Even by his best biographers Jackson has often been described as illiterate, and for that reason the attempt has been made to make these letters as nearly exact copies of the originals as it is possible to secure with type. Every error of grammar, spelling, and the use of Capitals has been faithfully copied, and even his peculiar punctuation is given. The proofs have been carefully compared with the original letters, to make sure that the proof-reader or compositor had not taken it upon himself to correct apparent errors.
