Book excerpt: Excerpt from Official Report of the Debates and Proceedings in the State Convention, 1853 Sir, I am opposed to thus restricting the legisla ture in their action upon a matter of so much interest to the Commonwealth. That has been the experience of the State in relation to the action heretofore taken by the legislature upon this subject of loaning the credit of the State? Has it not been promotive of her best interests? I believe no one will deny that it has, at least no member has as yet denied it. Has it not done more to develop the mineral and other resources of the Commonwealth, to build up villages and increase the taxable property of the State on the lines of the several roads to which the loans have been made, than any other cause? And I would ask, has the Commonwealth suffered any loss, or is it within the range of probability that she can suffer any loss, from the course pursued on this matter? I believe no one will for a moment pre tend that she has, or that she can. Two corpo rations to whom smaller loans have been made by the State, have been prepared to reimburse to the State, and if I am correctly informed, have offered to redeem the whole, or a large portion of that loaned to them, but the Commonwealth declined taking it. How stands the matter with reference to the other great corporation about which so much has been said here, and to which the loan of four millions of dollars was made. The Com monwealth holds stock of that corporation to the whole amount of the loan, besides having a preference over the whole stock held by individu als in that corporation, which is now worth about par, and has been within a short time above par, and could have been sold in the market at a profit of over It may be asked, why was not that done? I believe a good and suffi cient answer to that is, it was for the interest of the Commonwealth to allow it to remain, for the reason that the State was receiving from that stock seven or eight per cent. Interest, and she could not have obtained over five per cent. Upon the money derived from the sale thereof; hence, as a business transaction, I say it was a wise and judicious course for the executive to refuse to sell the stock, or take any portion of the money.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Berthoff (history, Washington U., St. Louis) argues that modern American society is distinctive from contemporary European thought by virtue of its middle class. Over the course of ten essays, the author develops the idea of an American middle-class who brought with them from Europe a set of social values that has acted as a template for middle-class values. These ideals of a balance between personal liberty and communal equality have inspired a peculiarly American reaction to the modern changes of industrialization, urbanization, and immigration, causing a reactive apprehension in the middle-class that they are, like their peasant and artisan ancestors, once again being dispossessed.

Download or read book In the Balance of Power written by Omar H. Ali and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2008-08-13 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, most black voters in the United States have aligned themselves with one of the two major parties: the Republican Party from the time of the Civil War to the New Deal and, since the New Deal—and especially since the height of the modern civil rights movement—the Democratic Party. However, as In the Balance of Power convincingly demonstrates, African Americans have long been part of independent political movements and have used third parties to advance some of the most important changes in the United States, notably the abolition of slavery, the extension of voting rights, and the enforcement of civil rights. Since the early nineteenth century, there has been an undercurrent of political independence among African Americans. They helped develop the Liberty Party in the 1840s and have continued to work with third parties to challenge the policies of the two major parties. But despite the legal gains of the modern civil rights movement, elements of Jim Crow remain deeply embedded in our electoral process. In the Balance of Power presents a history and analysis of African American third-party movements that can help us better understand the growing diversity among black voters today.
