  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

As United States Senator from 1833 to 18M+, he established a record for political integrity, honesty, and courage that made him a valuable leader of the Democratic Party and gained for him the respect of the Whig opposition. Wright's position in Washington as a presidential liaison in the Senate caused him to play an influential role in both the Jackson and Van Bur9:1 administrations. He maintained a highly developed sense of political Idealism throughout his career. Although Wright was aware of the snares of political corruption that continually beset national politicians, his record remained irreproachable and untainted.^ The conditions of political life during the Jacksonian era were an affront to Wright's sense of idealism- Gradually disillusioned by the political .

  • Fourteenth Amendment As Political Compromise--Section One in The
    The Fourteenth Amendment as Political Compromise-Section One in the Joint Committee on Reconstruction EARL M. MALTZ* The ongoing debate over the intent of the framers of section one of the four- teenth amendment continues unabated. Typically, participants in the debate take one of two approaches. One group of commentators essentially ignores the legislative history of the fourteenth amendment. Focusing instead on what they see as the plain meaning of terms such as "equal protection," "privileges and immunities," and "due process," these commentators invariably conclude that the framers in- tentionally employed "majestic generalities," leaving courts free to change the con- tours of constitutional protections as conditions warrant. The other group of commentators is more sophisticated. This group recognizes that the connotations of particular phrases might very well change over time; thus, they focus on mid-nineteenth century explanations of the language of section one. In their analysis of the framers' intent, some of these commentators draw on abolition- ists theory or the ratification debates. More commonly, however, the focus is on statements made about section one in the floor debates over the fourteenth amend- ment, and the earlier discussions of the Civil Rights Bill of 1866. While it is a marked advance over the "plain meaning" approach, this method- ology has significant limitations. Focusing only on the statements dealing with equal protection, due process, and privileges and immunities tends to obscure this political context. Section one was only a part of a multifacetted constitutional amendment, which in turn was proposed in the context of a broader struggle over the post-Civil War Reconstruction of the defeated southern states.

  • Silas Wright Collection
    SILAS WRIGHT COLLECTION This collection has been transferred to the St. Lawrence County Historical association 3 East Main St. Canton, NY 13617. Telephone: 315-386-8133 Scope and Contents The papers in this collection of American Statesman Silas Wright, Jr. consist of letters and documents written by Silas Wright between 1816 and 1847, and a few letters written by Wright's family and friends after his death in 1847. The letters are of both a personal and a business nature and include documents signed by Silas Wright Jr. and his father Silas Wright, Sr., of Weybridge, Vermont. The collection was acquired through purchases and numerous gifts to the University. It consists of over one- hundred original letters and documents, and many photocopies of original letters which are housed at the St. Lawrence County Historical Association in Canton, New York. The Association also has many more items which have not been photocopied for this collection. Persons contributing items to the Silas Wright Collection were: Mary Moody Smith Curran, Friends of the ODY Library, Clark Goodnough, R. M. Gunnison, Atwood and Alice Manley, Col. Lawrence Russell, Mrs. D. C. Salisbury, Ruth Smith See, Mr. Hewlett Strong, and Robertson F. Williams. St. Lawrence University does not own the literary rights to this collection. Biographical Sketch Silas Wright, Jr. was born in 1795 in Amherst, Massachusetts, the fifth child of Silas and Eleanor (Goodale) Wright. The family moved to Weybridge, Vermont where young Silas grew up and was educated. At the age of sixteen, Wright entered Middlebury College. After graduation he studied law at Sandy Hill, New York and was admitted to the bar in 1819.

Hudson discovered the river known by his name in 1609. During the next ten years many Dutch ships were in New York waters, and Manhattan Island had a small settlement of traders. Magisterial authority, if there was any in this little trading community, probably followed the rules of the sea, with sea captains as arbiters, and with the certainty that capital offenses would be referred to the home government. In 1621 the Dutch West India Company was chartered, with wide powers and charged with the keeping of "good order, police, and justice." The charter contained many guarantees of freedom in social, political and religious life, but reserved final judicial authority for the States General.
