They were prepared during busy engagements in other employ ments, without any effort to attain to literary excellence; the lead ing object being to bring to view such facts of history, such acts of the government, and such views relating to them, as would tend to give the young men of the present time a fair general under standing of the subject. It has been published at the request, and with the assistance of, the Law Classes of the University of Texas, at its present session, 1891-2. The two addresses have been introduced with the lectures, to exhibit more strikingly the sentiments of the people of Texas, in regard to their Federal relations, at the times to which they relate, and when they were published.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Committee on Federal Relations: With the Report of the Peace Commissioners Appointed to Wait on Presidents Lincoln and Davis The President of the United States, by his Proclamation of the 15th of April, had called upon a portion of the States to place at his disposal a body of militia, to the number of seventy-five thousand men. The Proclamation was directed against the people of the newly-formed Southern Confederacy, and its purposes and policy were obvious, although its terms were technically shaped in conformity with the Act of Congress of 1795. It recited, with formal precision, in the language of the Act, "that the laws of the United States were opposed, and the execution thereof was obstructed," in the seven seceded States, "by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the Marshals," and it called forth the militia of the other States, in the further language of the statute, "to suppress such combinations, and to cause the laws to be duly executed." In pursuance of another section of the law, it then commanded "the insurgents to disperse and retire peaceably to their respective abodes" within twenty days. If there is any proposition clear beyond dispute, it must be, that if the occasion which authorizes the President to call out the militia, under the Act of 1795, existed at all, it was declared, by the explicit terms of the Proclamation, to exist only in the States of the Southern Confederacy, which were therein enumerated. It is equally indisputable, as matter of law, that the militia, if called out lawfully at all, were lawfully empowered to execute the laws and suppress unlawful combinations in the seven States named, and in none other. Such a conclusion of law is not only obvious and unavoidable, as matter of construction, but equally to be insisted upon as matter of principle and self-protection on the part of the people; for the exercise of the military power, in a free government, is never to be permitted, except within the limits and under the severest restrictions and checks of the law. If a President of the United States, under the fraudulent pretence of suppressing unlawful combinations in Louisiana and Florida, could be permitted to call out troops, to be used for any purpose in Maryland or Virginia, no soil of any State would be free from invasion, and no right of the citizen anywhere would be secure against overthrow. It was not, however, because of any apprehension that the militia which were called out by the President would be used in other than the designated quarters, that the Proclamation created an intense and immediate excitement in the Southern and Border Slave States.

Book Synopsis Minority Report of the Committee on Federal Relations, Respecting Certain Resolutions Relating to the Importation of Slaves (Classic Reprint) by : South Carolina; General Assem Relations
Download or read book Minority Report of the Committee on Federal Relations, Respecting Certain Resolutions Relating to the Importation of Slaves (Classic Reprint) written by South Carolina; General Assem Relations and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Minority Report of the Committee on Federal Relations, Respecting Certain Resolutions Relating to the Importation of Slaves The reason is obvious. The lower the first cost, the lower may be, and where there is competition and free trade the lower will be the second, third, and all succeeding costs attached to the article in its various stages of transfer, manufacture and consumption. It is thus the interest of consumers in general, that the first cost of production in general shall be low. But all men are consumers of the great staple products of the earth; some of one sort, some of another. It is, therefore, a general truth, that cheap production is to the interest of all departments of industry. - That is to say: It is the interest of all "flesh" that "grass" should be abundant - cheap; of all men, that food, raiment, and all the means of subsistence should be abundant - cheap. And since it is only by labor that these can be had, it follows that it is the general interest of mankind that labor should be abundant, available, cheap. This general position maybe obnoxious to special objections. Every man wishes to sell at a high and buy at a low price. One has corn to sell - he wishes the price high; but he buys everything else he consumes, and of course, wishes the price of everything else low. The same is the case with those who sell cotton, rice, or any other property. From which it appears that every producer wishes some particular product high, and all or most other products low. And since no one particular product represents the united interests of the community, it follows that the high price of none can be the sole interest of that community. How then are these conflicting interests to be reconciled? The answer is, by letting free trade establish its own equilibrium. Let every particular interest, with its own special objections, find its appropriate level in the scale of progress and development, its true interest lying, not in theoretical desertation, but in a hearty and open competition, a true economy and cheap labor. Labor, then, being in universal requisition, the quantity present in any country, as compared with the demand for its produce, may ordinarily determine its price. If this is unusually high, we may be assured there is an excessive, or at least a growing demand for produce, to meet which there is a deficiency of labor. Such deficiency, it will hardly be denied, now exists in the agricultural department of Southern industry, and particularly in South Carolina, and is the chief reason why the price of slave labor is so high. No other than negro agricultural labor is available at the South, and there are but two means of increasing - it by the natural propagation of the race here and by importing Africans. The first of these does not suffice for the wants of the country, or the deficiency would not exist; to the latter, then, alone can we look for the requisite supply. But so far as the price of slave labor depends upon the quantity present, or the rate of its increase, the means by which an increase may be effected is of no consequence.

Book Synopsis The Federalist Papers by : Alexander Hamilton
Download or read book The Federalist Papers written by Alexander Hamilton and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of “The Federalist Papers”, a collection of separate essays and articles compiled in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton. Following the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, the governing doctrines and policies of the States lacked cohesion. “The Federalist”, as it was previously known, was constructed by American statesman Alexander Hamilton, and was intended to catalyse the ratification of the United States Constitution. Hamilton recruited fellow statesmen James Madison Jr., and John Jay to write papers for the compendium, and the three are known as some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755–1804) was an American lawyer, journalist and highly influential government official. He also served as a Senior Officer in the Army between 1799-1800 and founded the Federalist Party, the system that governed the nation’s finances. His contributions to the Constitution and leadership made a significant and lasting impact on the early development of the nation of the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • An "extraordinary ... profoundly moving" history (The New York Times Book Review) of the American Civil War that reveals the ways that death on such a scale changed not only individual lives but the life of the nation. An estiated 750,000 soldiers lost their lives in the American Civil War. An equivalent proportion of today's population would be seven and a half million. In This Republic of Suffering, Drew Gilpin Faust describes how the survivors managed on a practical level and how a deeply religious culture struggled to reconcile the unprecedented carnage with its belief in a benevolent God. Throughout, the voices of soldiers and their families, of statesmen, generals, preachers, poets, surgeons, nurses, northerners and southerners come together to give us a vivid understanding of the Civil War's most fundamental and widely shared reality. With a new introduction by the author, and a new foreword by Mike Mullen, 17th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Download or read book Nigger written by Randall Kennedy and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2008-12-18 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Randall Kennedy takes on not just a word, but our laws, attitudes, and culture with bracing courage and intelligence—with a range of reference that extends from the Jim Crow south to Chris Rock routines and the O. J. Simpson trial. It’s “the nuclear bomb of racial epithets,” a word that whites have employed to wound and degrade African Americans for three centuries. Paradoxically, among many Black people it has become a term of affection and even empowerment. The word, of course, is nigger, and in this candid, lucidly argued book the distinguished legal scholar Randall Kennedy traces its origins, maps its multifarious connotations, and explores the controversies that rage around it. Should Blacks be able to use nigger in ways forbidden to others? Should the law treat it as a provocation that reduces the culpability of those who respond to it violently? Should it cost a person his job, or a book like Huckleberry Finn its place on library shelves?

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER Following Thomas Jefferson from the drafting of the Declaration of Independence to his retirement in Monticello, Joseph J. Ellis unravels the contradictions of the Jeffersonian character. He gives us the slaveholding libertarian who was capable of decrying mescegenation while maintaing an intimate relationship with his slave, Sally Hemmings; the enemy of government power who exercisdd it audaciously as president; the visionarty who remained curiously blind to the inconsistencies in his nature. American Sphinx is a marvel of scholarship, a delight to read, and an essential gloss on the Jeffersonian legacy.

Acheson (1893–1971) was not only present at the creation of the postwar world, he was one of its chief architects. He joined the Department of State in 1941 as Assistant Secretary of State for Economic Affairs and, with brief intermissions, was continuously involved until 1953, when he left office as Secretary of State at the end of the Truman years. Throughout that time Acheson's was one of the most influential minds and strongest wills at work. It was a period that included World War II, the reconstruction of Europe, the Korean War, the development of nuclear power, the formation of the United Nations and NATO. It involved him at close quarters with a cast that starred Truman, Roosevelt, Churchill, de Gaulle, Marshall, MacArthur, Eisenhower, Attlee, Eden Bevin, Schuman, Dulles, de Gasperi, Adenauer, Yoshida, Vishinsky, and Molotov.

Download or read book Resonance written by Hartmut Rosa and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-07-26 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pace of modern life is undoubtedly speeding up, yet this acceleration does not seem to have made us any happier or more content. If acceleration is the problem, then the solution, argues Hartmut Rosa in this major new work, lies in “resonance.” The quality of a human life cannot be measured simply in terms of resources, options, and moments of happiness; instead, we must consider our relationship to, or resonance with, the world. Applying his theory of resonance to many domains of human activity, Rosa describes the full spectrum of ways in which we establish our relationship to the world, from the act of breathing to the adoption of culturally distinct worldviews. He then turns to the realms of concrete experience and action – family and politics, work and sports, religion and art – in which we as late modern subjects seek out resonance. This task is proving ever more difficult as modernity’s logic of escalation is both cause and consequence of a distorted relationship to the world, at individual and collective levels. As Rosa shows, all the great crises of modern society – the environmental crisis, the crisis of democracy, the psychological crisis – can also be understood and analyzed in terms of resonance and our broken relationship to the world around us. Building on his now classic work on acceleration, Rosa’s new book is a major new contribution to the theory of modernity, showing how our problematic relation to the world is at the crux of some of the most pressing issues we face today. This bold renewal of critical theory for our times will be of great interest to students and scholars across the social sciences and humanities.
