Ohio And Pennsylvania Politicians Reflect On The State Of Pennsylvania Politics Just After The 1840 Election Of William Henry Harrison To The Presidency

5149PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 1840. ALS. 2pgs. November 18 1840. Cincinnati Ohio. An autograph letter signed J Burnet by Ohio lawyer and politician Jacob Burnet 1770-1853. It is addressed to James Dunlap of Pittsburg. Burnet replies to Dunlaps letter stating his concerns about Pennsylvania politics in light of the recent 1840 Presidential election in which William Henry Harrison defeated Martin Van Buren. Harrison would die only a month into his Presidency. Mentioning a schism at one point Burnet seems to anticipate the national divide that would eventually lead to the American Civil War although this may have referred to economic issues rather than the question of slavery: Dear Sir I have received your letter of the 12th inst and read it with interest. The matter it containsthe view you have taken of the state of parties in Penna are highly interesting and are certainly entitled to serious consideration. The mixture of parties of which you speak as having taken place in the late struggle can not as you observeThere is reason to fear that when the cause whichthe union the fruits of which we have just gathered shall warn so often at the repelling principlewill throw the parts from each other as far as they win before the conflict began unless something can be done to effect such a permanent combination as you refer to. I confess I now have understood the theory of partyas they have existed in and have agitated your state or the principles on which they have been found or by which they areI can however easilyschism may be the result of such an injudicious course on the part of theyou are anxious to prevent. It would give mow me great pleasure to be instrumental in preventing the wit you depict so strikingly were it in my power. I was known unequal to the task because I have no claims to the confidence of the General beyond those of his friends generally not because in addition to this I could not point him to the parties or the persons as to whom he ought to be on his guard. A frank communication from a confidential friend in Penna who understands the whole subject would receive the attention it deserves. An intelligent Pennacan communicate the specific information necessary to show him the danger and the mode of avoiding it. Advice or caution in a care like this to have its proper influence should come from the power of information. Your views on the subject of claims founded on services rendered in the late political contest are precisely those I entertain and express on all occasions and I have reason to believe the General looks on the subject though the same medium and views it in the same light. If our motives have been patriotic our labor has been done for the country and success is our only legitimate reward. If they have been personal they are not praiseworthy and ought not to be rewarded. I am confident that president elect views the matter in that light and that he does not feel personal obligations to any body on account of no part taken in the contest. If this be not so I have very much misunderstood his character. Yours very respectfully J Burnet. The letter is in very good condition with a loss to the back page that does not affect any content. A reminder of the eternal contention and controversy in American political elections. unknown

[ University of Oxford; General Election of 1852; William Ewart Gladstone; Robert Bullock Marsham, Warden of Merton College; RevBiblio.com

Oxford Gladstone Marsham and the General Election of 1852. Spoof in the form of a printed circular from 'Mrs. Harris' Commemoration Advertiser' with a variety of in-jokes poking fun at the University.

20018Printed for the Authoress" University of Oxford. 1852. . A lively Oxford spoof which can be dated precisely from the references to Marsham Gladstone and the coming General Election. In the General Election of July 1852 the Peelite Gladstone defeated the Conservative Marsham who had been put forward by 'the heads Protestants and protectionists'. A reference to German education is a nod towards the first Oxford University Commission whose report published in 1852 recommended that a switch to a more Germanic educational system. For the background see Brock and Curthoys 'History of the University of Oxford' vol. 6 1997. Printed in black on one side of a 31 x 19 cm. piece of wove paper. In fair condition lightly aged and worn. An announcement in the customary Victorian style of mixed typefaces and point sizes with a series of 'advertisements' printed one above the other. At bottom right: 'Printed for the Authoress.' Begins: 'Mrs. Harris' Commemoration Advertiser The Perfect Substitute for Reform. The Abolition of Dons: A single Trial will convince the most incredulous. The Metaphysical Syphonia Or invisible Wrapper warranted Reason proof and weighs nothing. Apply to the Marines. Il n'y a pas de prix fixe.' A number of quips follow including a dig at 'the Proctors' a list of five 'Candidates for vacant Professorships' the last: 'Practical Electioneering . All the Fellows of Ln.' a fake advertisement for a new book titled 'The Freshman's Vade-Mecum'. The next section refers to the recommendation of the Oxford University Commission that the University follow the German mode of education: 'A Professor Not unequal as he trusts to the educational requirements of the 19th Century has a vacancy for One Pupil. He engages that in six months his fond parents shall not know him from a GERMAN STUDENT. N.B. Duelling extra.' Next there is another spoof advertisement for a book this one titled 'Weathercockiana or the Gladstone of the Future.' Then there comes: 'PRIZE ESSAY Open to all Masters of Arts who have not Graduated in Honours; and to be awarded when Dr. Marsham is returned for the University â€œOn the best means of reconciling the Duties of a Head of a House with those of a Member of Parliament.â€' A couple more joke announcements end the spoof. Presumably "Mrs Harris" is inspired by the non-appearing character in Dickens' "Martin Chuzzlewit". From the papers of Rev. Dr Richard Harington Principal of Brasenose College Oxford. No other copy traced either on OCLC WorldCat or on COPAC. Printed for the Authoress" [ University of Oxford. 1852. ] unknown

The Federal Election Commission FEC is the independent regulatory agency charged with administering and enforcing the federal campaign finance law. The FEC has jurisdiction over the financing of campaigns for the U.S. House Senate Presidency and the Vice Presidency. In 1971 Congress consolidated its earlier reform efforts in the Federal Election Campaign Act instituting more stringent disclosure requirements for federal candidates political parties and political action committees PACs. Still without a central administrative authority the campaign finance laws were difficult to enforce. Following reports of serious financial abuses in the 1972 presidential campaign Congress amended the Federal Election Campaign Act in 1974 to set limits on contributions by individuals political parties and PACs. The 1974 amendments also established an independent agency the FEC. The FEC opened its doors in 1975. Not until 1974 following the documentation of campaign abuses in the 1972 Presidential elections did a consensus emerge to create an independent body to ensure compliance with the campaign finance laws. Comprehensive amendments to the FECA P.L. No. 93-443 established the Federal Election Commission an independent agency to assume the administrative functions previously divided between Congressional officers and GAO. The Commission was given jurisdiction in civil enforcement matters authority to write regulations and responsibility for monitoring compliance with the FECA. Additionally the amendments transferred from GAO to the Commission the function of serving as a national clearinghouse for information on the administration of elections. Under the 1974 amendments the President the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate each appointed two of the six voting Commissioners. The Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House were designated nonvoting ex-officio Commissioners. The first Commissioners were sworn in on April 14 1975. The 1974 amendments also completed the system currently used for the public financing of Presidential elections. The amendments provided for partial Federal funding in the form of matching funds for Presidential primary candidates and also extended public funding to political parties to finance their Presidential nominating conventions. Complementing these provisions Congress also enacted strict limits on both contributions and expenditures. These limits applied to all candidates for Federal office and to political committees influencing Federal elections. Another amendment relaxed a 1939 prohibition on contributions from Federal government contractors. The FECA as amended now permitted corporations and unions with Federal contracts to establish and operate PACs. The Federal Election Commission hardcover

Still without a central administrative authority the campaign finance laws were difficult to enforce. FECA has been amended in 1976 after the Supreme Court struck down several provisions as unconstitutional in Buckley v. Valeo. Buckley v. Valeo 424 U.S. 1 1976 was a landmark decision of the US Supreme Court on campaign finance. A majority of justices held that as provided by section 608 of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 limits on election expenditures are unconstitutional. In a per curiam by the Court opinion they ruled that expenditure limits contravene the First Amendment provision on freedom of speech because a restriction on spending for political communication necessarily reduces the quantity of expression. It limited disclosure provisions and limited the Federal Election Commission's power.<br /> By some measures Buckley is the longest opinion ever issued by the Supreme Court.
