  • The Disruption of the Philadelphia Whigocracy: Joseph R
    The Disruption of the Philadelphia Whigocracy: Joseph R. Chandler, Anti-Catholicism, and the Congressional Election oj 1854 HE TRADITIONAL PERCEPTION of the Kansas-Nebraska Act as the key event in the political divisions of 1854 and the Tsubsequent collapse of the Whig party has been further mod- ified by recent articles on party realignment in antebellum Pennsyl- vania. Of particular importance in this connection is a study by William E. Gienapp that presents convincing evidence that linked moral and religious issues (temperance and anti-Catholicism, in par- ticular) had substantially greater influence on the outcome of the elections of 1854 than did opposition to the Nebraska measure.1 While the appeal of such issues would detach large numbers of voters from both major parties (and in combination with the Nebraska question produce the Democratic debacle of 1854), it was the Whigs—with their history of advocacy of moral reforms and flirtations with nativ- Research for this article was supported by the Board on Faculty Research of Saint Joseph's University. 1 The traditional view to which historians have reacted for more than a generation evolved from the work of Allan Nevins and Roy F. Nichols. It holds, in summary, that the political realignment of the 1850s resulted from the inability of the so-called second party system, the national Democratic and Whig parties of the Jacksonian era, to contain the issue of slavery extension, and that Know Nothingism represented an effort by battered Whig and conservative leaders to divert attention from the destructive issue of slavery by exploiting popular hostility to immigrants and Catholics.

Its role is to bridge the political divide between the social democratic and liberal traditions, the intellectual divide between academia and the policy making establishment, and the cultural divide between government and civil society. It is first and foremost a research institute, aiming to provide innovative and credible policy solutions. Its work, the questions its research poses and the methods it uses are driven by the belief that the journey to a good society is one that places social justice, democratic participation and economic and environmental sustainability at its core. About the series Asylum and migration issues have never been higher on the political and policy agendas. The unprecedented scale of movement of people for reasons of protection, employment and family reunion to both the UK and Europe as a whole poses economic, social and political opportunities and challenges. This is an area of policy making that is fast moving and involves many different stakeholders at the international, national and local levels. ippr’s Asylum and Migration Working Paper Series has been established to provide a vehicle for examining the evidence in relation to specific aspects of policy and practice in this area.

    THE BRITISH LIBRARY UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN HOLDINGS IN THE BRITIS LIBRARY NEWSPAPER LIBRARY by Jean Kemble and Pam Das THE ECCLES CENTRE FOR AMERICAN STUDIES CONTENTS Introduction 1 United States Holdings 2 State/Town Index to the United States Holdings 64 Canadian Holdings 67 Province/Town Index to the Canadian Holdings 91 United States Newspapers in the Department of Humanities 92 and Social Sciences Main Collection INTRODUCTION This guide to the United States and Canadian holdings at the British Library Newspaper Library is one of a series published by the Eccles Centre for American Studies to promote awareness of the British Library’s North American collections. One of the main aims of the guide is to provide direct access to the holdings pertinent to individual states and provinces as the Newspaper Library’s catalogue arrangement is by title and town only. Readers Will quickly realise that the holdings are not restricted to newspapers along, although these do comprise the majority of the records. In addition there are included publications of trade unions, churches, ethnic and political societies and associations, as well as magazines covering fashion and the arts. However, two types of material are omitted: the large number of single issue American newspapers and the journals pf particular trades. The material is arranged into separate sections for the United States and Canada, and each of these sections is followed by an index covering state/province and town. The main entries provide the town and state/province of publication, detailed information on the holdings and, at the end of each record, the shelf-mark.

    June 28, 2017 The Honorable Kevin Brady The Honorable Richard Neal Chairman Ranking Member Committee on Ways & Means Committee on Ways & Means U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Mr. Chairman and Ranking Member Neal: The undersigned companies and trade associations urgently seek your support in saving a still invaluable national resource: the United States Postal Service. The Postal Service Reform Act of 2017, HR 756, recently ordered reported by the Oversight and Government Reform Committee would do just that, and create a savings of $6.3 billion in the process, according to the Congressional Budget Office. We urge you to approve or otherwise move this bill forward as swiftly as you can. The Postal Service is the hub of a diverse mailing industry critical to the economy and the growing e- commerce sector so important to our economic recovery. The combined industry and its suppliers in paper, printing and technology, comprising hundreds of large companies and thousands of small businesses, employs 7.5 million Americans and generates $1.4 trillion in sales revenue.1 That is 4.6% of total U.S. output. Yet, the Postal Service teeters on the financial brink, threatening many of those jobs and the industry’s economic output. HR 756 would put the Postal Service on a firm path to financial stabilization and is a bipartisan- sponsored bill that enjoys broad bipartisan support. It was approved by OGR by voice on March 16. It has also managed the virtually unprecedented feat of uniting all of the Postal Service’s stakeholders – the mailing community, the postal unions, and the Service itself – in support.

  • THE UFO FILES UFO the ‘ What Does All This Stuff About Flying Saucers the Amount To? What Can It Mean? What Is the Truth?’
    THE UFO FILES ‘ What does all this stuff about flying saucers THE amount to? What can it mean? What is the truth?’ WINSTON CHURCHILL, PRIME Minister’s Personal MINUTE, 28 JULY 1952 The UFO Files tells the story of over 100 years of UFO sightings, drawing on formerly secret government records at the National Archives. Alongside extraordinary reports by ordinary people it reveals details of official interest and investigations stretching back to before the First World War – for although the terms UFO and Flying Saucer were not coined until the middle of the twentieth century, people have David Clarke long seen things in the sky that they could not explain. In this remarkable book David Clarke reveals an array of startling stories from possible UFO reports hidden among Met Office investigations of aerial phenomena in the 1920s to the conclusions of Project Condign, the hush-hush British Intelligence UFO study completed in 2000. As well as covering UFO Roswell and Britain’s own Rendlesham Forest mystery, Clarke raids the records for dramatic stories of abductions and close encounters, ghost aircraft and crop circles, and UFO reports FILES by civilian aircrew and military personnel. Dramatic witness statements and interviews – many undertaken by the author himself – combine with rarely seen photographs, drawings and newly available documents to offer a unique guide to one of our most intriguing mysteries. David Clarke is Senior Lecturer in Journalism at Sheffield Hallam University. The Inside Story of Real-Life Sightings He has a long-standing interest in UFOs and other aerial phenomena, and has worked with the National Archives in promoting UFO material recently released by the Ministry of Defence.

This thesis discusses how women \Vere described in three of Oregon's frontier newspapers from 1846 to 1859, and also explores their contributions to the newspapers as writers, poets, editors, and businesswomen. Information from established Americanmedia clipped for the frontier papers described popular, mainstream ideas of womanhood, as well as provided news on the emerging women's rights struggle. Information generated locally on women encompassed a variety of themes, including marriage, education, and temperance. This study shows that even though content about women and women's roles a<; contributors were constrained by contemporary ideas of propriety and women's place in society, women were valued as readers and contributors to the three Oregon newspapers.
