“But How Are Their Decisions to Be Known?” 1 Johnson’S Reports Iv
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “But how are their decisions to be known?” 1 Johnson’s Reports iv CELEBRATING 200 Years of New York State Official Law Reporting “But how are their decisions to be known?” “ We must look . to our own courts, for those precedents which have the binding force of authority and law. But how are their decisions to be known? Must they float in the memories of those by whom they are pronounced, and the law, instead of being a fixed and uniform rule of action, be thus subject to perpetual fluctuation and change? No man doubts of the propriety or necessity of publishing the acts of the legislature. As the rights and interests of every individual may be equally affected by the decisions of our courts, one would naturally imagine, that it would be equally a matter of public concern, that they should be made known in some authentic manner to the community.” 1 Johnson’s Reports iv-v NEW YORK STATE ANNIVERSARY BOOKLET LAW REPORTING BUREAU COMMITTEE One Commerce Plaza, Suite 1750 Charles A.

Building an Antislavery House: Political Abolitionists and the U.S
Building an Antislavery House: Political Abolitionists and the U.S. Congress By Corey Michael Brooks A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Robin L. Einhorn, Chair Professor David M. Henkin Professor Eric Schickler Fall 2010 Building an Antislavery House: Political Abolitionists and the U.S. Congress © 2010 By Corey Michael Brooks 1 Abstract Building an Antislavery House: Political Abolitionists and the U.S. Congress by Corey Michael Brooks Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Robin L. Einhorn, Chair This dissertation reintegrates abolitionism into the main currents of U.S. political history. Because of a bifurcation between studies of the American antislavery movement and political histories of the sectional conflict, modern scholars have drastically underestimated the significance of abolitionist political activism. Historians often characterize political abolitionists as naïve idealists or separatist moral purists, but I recast them as practical, effective politicians, who capitalized on rare openings in American political institutions to achieve outsized influence in the face of a robust two-party system. Third-party abolitionists shaped national debate far beyond their numbers and played central roles in the emergence of the Republican Party. Over the second half of the 1830s, political abolitionists devised the Slave Power concept, claiming that slaveholder control of the federal government endangered American democracy; this would later become the Republicans‘ most important appeal. Integrating this argument with an institutional analysis of the Second Party System, antislavery activists assailed the Whigs and Democrats—cross-sectional parties that incorporated antislavery voices while supporting proslavery policies—as beholden to the Slave Power. -

CARROLL Counsel of Record WOODRUFF LEE CARROLL P.C. 334 Nottingham Road Syracuse, New York 13210 (315) 474-5356 [email protected] Attorney for Petitioner i QUESTIONS FOR REVIEW JURISDICTION Can the federal court exercise jurisdiction over this case when the land is listed on a tax map and the tax rolls in the name of New York State? If New York is involved is there jurisdiction in the federal courts? Is the State of New York a necessary party because it is listed in the tax roles and the tax map as having an interest in the land? Should there have been discovery to determine the role of New York State regarding this land? CENTRAL ISSUES Can the Oneida Indian Nation set aside a deed of the Orchard Party/Marble Hill Oneida (otherwise known as Orchard Hill Oneidas) land by the designated head of the Orchard Party, Melvin Phillips when he is placing these Lands in trust for the benefit of the residents of the Marble Hill and the Orchard Party? Has this land been under the control of the Orchard Party since the filing of the map at 111a of the appendix in 1842? Does the Oneida Indian Nation have any interest in this land?

Construction, Restoration & Renovation
Court of Appeals Hall Construction, Restoration & Renovation 1842 - 2004 COURT OF APPEALS HALL: ITS HISTORY Initial Construction New York State's Judiciary has been linked to this classic Greek Revival building -- initially called New State Hall, now known as Court of Appeals Hall -- since the structure was first planned in the early nineteenth century. Located at the corner of State and Lodge Streets, Old State Hall was New York's first public building erected in Albany after the Revolutionary War. By 1833, concerns were raised that Old State Hall was not fireproof, and could no longer adequately meet the needs of the growing State. The Legislature directed the Capitol Trustees to purchase a site and erect a new State Hall with "suitable public offices." The Trustees chose a site on Academy Square, overlooking Academy Park and the Hudson River, a site we today know as 20 Eagle Street. The following year, the Legislature resolved that the new State Hall should be constructed of marble quarried at the State prison at Mount Pleasant (now known as Sing Sing). Albany's foremost architect at the time, Henry Rector, was appointed to the project and, in 1835, plans and estimates were submitted to the Legislature. To render the whole building fireproof, ceilings would be constructed of brick arches in place of wood. A hemispherical dome, forty feet in diameter, with a windowed sash, would light the rotunda and its second and third floor galleries. A stone staircase, starting in the main entrance hall and ending on the third floor, would cantilever from the wall with no visible means of support -- an engineering marvel! The formal assignment of rooms in New State Hall included offices for the Chancellor, the Register of Chancery and the State Supreme Court. -
