  • Arthur Tappan
    ARTHUR TAPPAN Lewis Tappan and Arthur Tappan were descendants of Benjamin Franklin (which is perhaps why their father, and another brother, happened to be named Benjamin Tappan). Arthur received a common-school education and then served a 7- year apprenticeship in the hardware business in Boston, before establishing himself in Portland, Maine, and subsequently in Montreal, Canada, where he would remain until the beginning of the war of 1812. In 1814 he would engage with his brother Lewis in importing British dry-goods into New-York City, and after that partnership was dissolved he successfully continued the business alone. He was known for his public spirit and philanthropy. He was a founder of the American tract society, the largest donor for the erection of its 1st building, and was identified with many charitable and religious bodies. He was a founder of Oberlin College, also erecting Tappan Hall there, and endowed Lane Seminary in Cincinnati, and a professorship at Auburn Theological Seminary. With his brother Lewis he founded the New-York Journal of Commerce in 1828, and established The Emancipator in 1833, paying the salary of the editor and all the expenses of its publication. He was an ardent abolitionist, and as the interest in the anti-slavery cause deepened he formed, at his own rooms, the nucleus of the New-York antislavery society, which was publicly organized under his presidency at Clinton Hall on October 2, 1833. He was also president of the American Anti-Slavery Society, to which for several years he contributed $1,000 per month, but withdrew in 1840 on account of the aggressive spirit that many members manifested toward the churches and the Union.

BIOGRAPHICAL MATERIAL Appleton Farms, located in Hamilton and Ipswich Massachusetts, is the oldest continuously operating farm in America. Established in 1636 by Samuel Appleton, the farm is among the most influential in America’s agricultural history. For nearly four centuries, the Appletons preserved their farm and maintained a successful agricultural operation supplemented with income from work as millers, hip merchants, industrialists, lawyers and tradesmen. The farm grew vegetables, hay and corn; the family also expanded production into beef, dairy and timber. By the end of the 19th Century it became a summer country estate that hosted fox hunts, steeple chases, and grass rides.

Oliver* INTRODUCTION For over a century, federal courts have, with several exceptions, re- fused to admit evidence seized in a manner inconsistent with the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures. An incomplete history of the exclusionary rule is familiar to any lawyer or law student who has taken constitutional criminal pro- cedure.1 This often leaves an impression that the rule is an overbroad federal doctrine the Court stumbled into late in the nineteenth cen- tury to prevent the investigation of business crimes in Boyd v. United States.2 The rule was refined to its modern form in the early twentieth century in Weeks v. United States.3 Then, Mapp v. Ohio imposed it on the states as the only way to deter police misconduct in 1961.4 This traditionally-offered account fails to consider state court opinions and does not look at patterns of criminal enforcement to understand why courts began to reject reliable evidence of crimes in order to give courts a mechanism to regulate police.5 * Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Faculty Scholarship, Duquesne University.

  • The Maine Law of 1851: How the Prohibitionists Made It
    THE MAINE LAW OF 1851: HOW THE PROHIBITIONISTS MADE IT Masaru OKAMOTO Introduction The purpose of this paper is to examine the prohibition movement in the state of Maine. Emphasis will be placed on the role of Neal Dow , chief spokesman of it. Maine was one of the states which faced more severe drinking problems than most others. In addition, until the 1830's the temperance movement in Maine was sluggish for several reasons. But from the late 1840's on, Maine became one of the leading states in the campaign for statewide prohibition. A stringent law-the so-called Main Law of 1851-was enacted, and it became throughout the succeed- ing decade the prototype of the prohibitory laws in ten other states and two territories. The process of making the Maine Law was a long struggle for the prohibitionists. How did the prohibitionists in Maine succeed in enacting the Law of 1851? And what kind of strategy did they use for the purpose of making prohibitionism a popular movement? Attempts will be made in this paper to answer these questions. I From Temperance to Prohibition: A Survey In the 17th and 18th centuries "temperance" meant moderate drinking of ardent spirits. Later it implied abstinence from all intoxicat- ing liquors including "Holy wine." Likewise, in those early days, tem- perance advocates tried to reason people out of excessive drinking by using the method of "moral suasion." But gradually they resorted to prohibition or forbidding by law of all use of intoxicating liquors. Thus temperance which had basically been a moral issue came to assume 199 a severe, extreme tone and as such it took no time before it assumed a political character or became a political issue.

JOHNSON THE LIBERTY PARTY IN MAINE, 1840-1848 THE POLITICS OF ANTISLAVERY REFORM Despite the fact that the Maine Liberty party consistently produced one of the largest Liberty votes in the country during the 1840s, this antislavery political party has received little scholarly attention.1 Yet Liberty men provided the intellectual and voting base for both the Free Soil and Republican parties which were to follow the Liberty party in the late 1840s and 1850s. They had to overcome many obstacles, however, because opposition to antislavery politics existed in the state, particularly among the Democrats. The Democratic party quickly had achieved political hegemony in Maine after the election of Andrew Jackson to the presidency in 1828. Its narrow gubernatorial victory in 1829 was followed by easy victories in most subsequent elections.
