  • Metuchen the Brainy Borough
    METUCHEN THE BRAINY BOROUGH Compiled by the Metuchen Historic Preservation Committee Metuchen The Brainy Borough Compiled by the Metuchen historic preservation committee The Metuchen Historic Preservation Committee was formed in January 2008 to advise the Mayor and Council on steps to strengthen Metuchen’s commitment to historic preservation. The Committee’s goals are to develop public education on the benefits of historic preservation, honor Metuchen’s historic resources by increasing the number of structures in town listed on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places, and explore the development of a Metuchen Historic Preservation Ordinance to formally recognize and protect the town’s distinctive historic and architectural character. The Historic Preservation Committee Suzanne Andrews Lori Chambers Michele Clancy Richard Miller Tyreen Reuter, Chair Rebeccah Seely Richard Weber Nancy Zerbe Jay Muldoon, Council Liaison June, 2015. All Rights Reserved. Metuchen, New Jersey. Introduction For several years, the Metuchen Historic Preservation Committee — with the assistance of grants from the Middlesex County Cultural and Heritage Commission — has studied Metuchen’s history and historic neighborhoods to evaluate the potential for one or more historic districts. These studies have resulted in additional historical information, especially related to one important theme: Metuchen’s reputation as “the Brainy Borough.” Local historians were aware of the 1914-1915 newspaper “battle” between Metuchen and Glen Ridge as to which town deserved the title; however, there were no extant copies of the Metuchen Recorder newspaper that over the extended period of the battle carried each town’s submissions of prominent residents who would warrant their hometown being considered “brainy.” The Committee’s recent studies have not only added to the general knowledge of the battle; they resulted in a significant research find: much of Metuchen’s reporting on the subject was also reprinted in Bloomfield’s Independent Press,* available at the Bloomfield Public Library.

  • Politics of Abolition: Salmon P. Chase in Cincinnati by William E
    As early as 1836, Salmon P. Chase joined the battle to abolish slavery. His beliefs propelled him into national politics, although more than two decades passed before the mood of the nation was receptive to the ideals he expressed in his early years in Cincinnati. The Politics of Abolition: Salmon P. Chase in Cincinnati by William E. Baringer n November, i860, Abraham Lincoln had just been elected President. The I first winner of the new Republican party, Lincoln was so little known that the nation felt an overpowering curiosity about what sort of man he was. The New York Herald and other Democratic newspapers made a "contribution" to the public's knowledge by printing a speech allegedly delivered by Lincoln to a Negro audience in Cincinnati in 1845. The speaker claimed that black Ameri- cans were the natural equals of whites, denounced as undemocratic the laws and customs that denied them equality, and received an engraved silver pitcher saluting his services to the race. Among those who read this radical oration was a Democratic legislator from Mississippi, William C. Smedes of Vicksburg. In an angry letter to Henry Jarvis Raymond of New York, Republican national chairman, Smedes declared that the holder of such views should be struck dead by lightning as "a just punishment from an offended diety." Raymond forwarded this missive to Lincoln, who repudiated the speech as "a forgery out and out.... I was never in a meeting of Negroes in my life; and never saw a pitcher presented by anybody to anybody."' The actual speaker and recipient of the pitcher on that occasion was not Lincoln but a Cincinnati attorney named Salmon Portland Chase.

C. APRIL 1971 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Foreword This report on the medical services at Morristown during the winter encampment of 1779-80 was undertaken to restudy and evaluate the subject in the light of the standard practices of the Continental Army Medical Department. One phase of the evaluation is to determine if the existence and location of the present replica of the so-called Tilton Hospital in the Jockey Hollow area can be justified historically. For interpretive purposes, the report reviews the organic structure of the medical or hospital department, identifies and describes health problems and diseases, and outlines the medical resources of the military surgeons to combat incident diseases and preserve the health of the soldiers. Research on the subject was conducted at the Library of Congress, the National Archives, Pennsylvania Historical Society, American Philosophical Society, the Library Company of Philadelphia and the Morristown NHP library. Several persons contributed to the completion of this study. As usual, Superintendent Stephen H. Lewis and Historians Bruce W. Steward and Diana F. Skiles provided splendid cooperation during my stay in the park; Leah S. Burt, Assistant Park Archivist, located Dr. Cochran's "LetterBook" in the Morristown Public Library. In the National Archives, the diligent efforts of Miss Marie Bouhnight, Office of Old Military Records, resulted in locating much-needed hospital returns of Valley Forge, Middlebrook and Morristown.
