January 25, 41 A.D.

Claudius, (41-54 A.D. an uncle of of Caligula and adopted son of Tiberius, became emperor, installed more or less by those who had murdered Caligula. [1] Claudius is accepted as Roman Emperor by the Senate. “Claudius rescinded Caligula’s provocative decrees affecting Judean and reaffirmed Jewish rights throughout the rest of the Roman world.” Claudius supported the cause of the Jews when they were attacked in separate incidents by the Greeks of Alexandria and the Samaritans. He maintained a life-long friendship with the Agrippa the last Jewish king in Eretz Israel.[2] His reign was comparatively long and stable compared to that of Caligula, but he did order all Jews to leave the city of Rome in response to growing unrest and messianic fervor among various Jewish groups. Claudius’s forth wife, Agrippina, murdered him by poisoning in order to put her son Nero, whom Claudius had adopted, into power. [3]



[4]

January 25, 749: Birthdate Leo IV (the Khazar). He was Byzantine emperor from 775 through 780. He was known as “the Khazar” because his mother was a Khazar Princess. If the Khazars were Jewish, does this mean that at least one Byzantine emperor was Jewish?[5]

[6]

January 25, 1138: Anacletus II passed away. Known as Pietro Pierleone before his elevation to the Papacy in 1130, Anacletus II was referred to as the Jewish anti-pope because he came from a family that had converted from Judaism to Christianity. The appellation of anti-pope is one that is hung on several popes who were elected under controversial circumstances.[7]

January 25, 1327: Edward III becomes King of England. During his reign King Edward III would re-apply the Edict of Expulsion of 1290 because there were reports of “secret Jews” or conversos who had remained in England and were practicing “the faith of their fathers.”[8]

1327

When first organized, the “friars” had been a might force for good, with their ideals of holiness, voluntary poverty, and powerful preaching. But in the course of time they had become degraded into idle vagrants and imposters. “They were notorious as seducers of women. Peddling furs and girdles for wenches and wives, and small gentle dogs ‘to get love of them’, the friar in a fourteenth century poem ‘came to our dame when the goode man is from home.’ In the tales of Boccaccio…[and] in all popular literature of the time, clerical celibacy is a joke. ‘Priests lived with mistresses or else went in hunt ogf them.” This shameless behavior explains why the friars were so often the object of intense hostility, sometimes even of physical assault, because, as a chronicle of 1327 stated simply, “they did not behave as friars ought.”[9]

1328: History tells us that many of the Knights Templar spent many years in the employ of Scottish King Robert the Bruce helping fight the war against the English in Scotland’s War for Independence until it ended in 1328. During that time the fleet disappeared.[10]

1329: Shortly before Robert the Bruce’s death in 1329 he requested his body be brought to Jerusalem. Ancestors of the Sinclair’s and a group of Knights set out to fulfill his wish. The party was attacked and defeated by Muslims enroot. The Muslims took his body but gave his heart back to the remaining Knights who buried it at Melrose Abby, Scotland. [11]

January 25, 1554: Founding of São Paulo, Brazil. As was the case in so many other parts of Latin America, the first Jews to inhabit Sao Paulo were New Christians or Conversos. The first openly Jewish residents of the city arrived from Alsace-Lorraine in the 19th century. Today São Paulo is home to the largest Jewish community in Brazil with about 130,000 people.[12]



1555 Jews expelled from Pesaro.[13]



1555

Henry VIII was the father of three children by three children by three different wives. His first wife Catherine of Aragon was the mother of Mary, while his second wife, Anne Boleyn, was the mother of Elizabeth. Finally, Henry’s third wife, Jane Seymour, gave him the son who would be heir to the throne. When Henry VIII died in 1547, Edward became king at the age of nine. Protestantism again flourished during Edward VI’s brief six year reign, and the open Bible came once again into favor. But when he died of tuberculosis at the age of 15, an intense, short period of turmoil ensued. Protestants and Roman Catholics vied to place their candidate on the vacated throne. Protestants ignored Henry VIII’s two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth, and chose to crown Lady Jane Grey, a niece of Henry, as the new queen. After reigning only nine days, she was arrested and beheaded by Catholic supporters of Mary who arose as an army and seized the throne for their chosen candidate.[14]

January 25, 1569: Phillip II of Spain issued the order to set up an inquisition in the New World. Mexico would be the first five years later.[15]

1569 Jews expelled from All Papal Territory except Rome and Ancona.[16]

January 25, 1648: The Khmelnytsky or Chmielnicki Rebellion against the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania began in earnest when Bohdan Khmelnytsky brought a contingent of 300-500 Cossacks to the Zaporizhian Sich and quickly dispatched the guards assigned by the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth to protect the entrance. His defeat of the counterattacking Commonwealth forces coupled with is oratorical skills brought thousands of rebels including the Ruthenians to join his uprising. Jews, who served as the middle-man and administrators for the absentee Polish landlords were an easy target for the rebels. The bloody uprising will mark the long, slow disintegration of the Polish state. The slaughter of the Jews was so great that it would not be surpassed until the time of the Nazis.[17]

1649 Jews expelled from Ukraine.[18] In the mid 17th century, the Cossacks of the Ukraine and the local Polish peasantry revolted against the feudal conditions imposed by the Polish overlords. Unfortunately, Jews bore the brunt of their murderous fury. Hundreds of thousands were massacred. Church persecution and local enmity were a constant threat. Many Jews moved west, renewing former settlements in Germany and France.[19]

In 1650, Lauchlan Mackinnon raised a regiment of his clan for the services of Charles II.[20]



1650: Methodically, mercilessly, the loose coalition of New York tribes had not only defeated many surrounding tribes and subjected their people to the most diabolical tortures, they also deliberately exterminated some, such as the Erie tribe in 1648 and the Neutrals during the following year. Other tribes were simply defeated and driven out, including the heretofore powerful Hurons. That tribe, longtime inhabitants of the Niagara area and greatly revered by the other tribes, inder the duress imposed upon them by the Five Nations, (Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida and Mohawk) meekly migrated to the Michigan country in 1650. Soon afterward those same Hurons divided themselves to form yet another tribe, the Wyandots. The parent Hurons remained in Michigan, but the newly formed Wyandots planted fresh roots in the soil of the Ohio country just south of Lake Erie.[21]



January 25, 1774

Justice St. Clair reported to Governor Penn that Dr. Connolly was arrested previous to the meeting of January 25, 1774, by his orders, on his avowing himself the author of the advertisements requiring the people to meet as a militia, and confining him until the next court on his refusal to find sureties for his release. Said St. Clair: “I was in hopes of the sending him out of the way would have put an end to it altogether; but I was mistaken. About eighty persons in arms assembled themselves, chiefly from Mr. Croghan’s neighborhood, and the country west of and below the Monongahela, and, after parading through the town, and making a kind of feu de joie, proceeded to the Fort, where a cask of rum was procured on the parade, and the head knocked out. This is a very effectual way of recruiting. As a scene of drunkenness and confusion was likely to ensue, I got the magistrates (who attended in consequence of the letters I sent them) together, and read the enclosed paper, which we concocted that morning….Mr. Connolly has most certainly a commission form Lord Dunmore, expressly for Pittsburgh and its dependencies, and his subalterns are John Stephenson, a brother of Mr. Crawford, our Senior magistrate, William Harrison, a son-in-law of his, and Dorsey Pentecost, who was lately in the commission of the peace here. Mr. Pentecost has, I hear, been down to Mr. Connolly since his confinement, and taken the necessary oaths to qualify him for his military office, and is to assemble the people at Redstone, and take possession of Fort Burd. I have written to the justices in that part of the country to watch his motions. Mr McKee is said to be appointed a justice by Lord Dunmore, but I would fain hope withour his consent; at any rate he behaved very well on the late occasion, and, as he was doubted, I made a point of having him there under pretense of his being an Indian agent, but in fact, if he was a friend or abettor of Connlooy’s measures.”[22]



1775 January 25, William Crawford[23] was removed from all positions held by him in Westmoreland County, PA, because of a change in the county line. He never again held office in Pennsylvania because of his military services to the Virginia Colony.

William Crawford opened a land office and as deputy surveyor made surveys overriding Pennsylvania claims. The district of West Augusta appointed William Crawford, John Stephenson and William Harrison justices of the peace.[24]



Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

January 25, 1775



Cap’t. Arthur St. Clair appeared before the board and testified that “William Crawford, Esquire Resident of the County of Westmoreland hath lately joined the Government of Virginia in opposing the jurisdiction of Pennsylvania.” In the County, the board advised the Governor to supersede him in his office as Justice of the Peace and Common Pleas. A supersede was accordingly ordered.[25]



January 25, 1775

“At a Council held at Philadelphia, January 25th, 1775, .

Captain St. Clair appearing at the Board and representing that William Crawford, Esquire, President of the Court in Westmoreland County, hath lately joined with the Government of Virginia in opposing the jurisdiction of Pennsylvania in the County, the Board advised the Governor to supersede him in his office as Justice of the Peace and common Pleas. A Supersedeas was accordingly ordered to be issued :“

Others of the Justices of the Westmoreland County court were Arthur St. Clair, afterward a Major-general in the Revolution; Thomas Gist, above mentioned, Alexander McKee, afterwards with Simon Girty and Matthew Elliot, a deserter to the British Indians; Robert Hanna, William Louchry, George Wilson, above mentioned, Eneas McKay, Joseph Spear, Alexander McClean and James Caveat.

The early courts of Westmoreland County appear by their records to have been regularly held from April 6, 1773, to the second Tuesday of April, 1776. Observe that this last date was but a short time before the meeting of the Provincial Conference at Carpenter’s Hall, Philadelphia, resulting in the great Declaration of Independence by the American colonies. At this session there were orders made relating to township lines, roads, and recognizances in criminal cases; and then there was an interregnum, and there are no records-of any court held for Westmoreland County afterward until January 6, 1778. But the court for Yohogania County continued right along in a varied and extensive business, as will appear from the transcript of its records now publishing.

It would seem that the transactions of these Virginia Courts were not confined to merely business matters. Witness the fact that at the session of the Yohogania County court held on September 22, 1777, “William Taylor produced a Licence appointing him to preach the Gospel after the Manner of his Sect; which being read, the said William Taylor came into Court and took the Oath of fidelity and Allegiance to this Commonwealth.[26] Who was this William Taylor, and what was his “Sect”? And note that at the session of the same Court held on March 24, 1778, “John was no longer considered as doubtful, and sanguine expectations were formed of its speedy termination. The paper accordingly rose in value; and in June, 1778, although the issues had been increased to more than forty-five millions, the depreciation was at the rate of only four to one. From the end of April of that year to the month of February, 1779, although the issues had been increased from thirty-five to one hundred and fifteen millions, the average value in silver of the whole amount of paper in circulation exceeded ten millions, and it was at one time nearly thirteen millions, or considerably more than that which could be sustained at the outset of the hostilities. But when it was discovered that the war would be of longer continuance, confidence in the redemption of a paper money, daily increasing in amount, was again suddenly lessened. The depreciation increased from the rate of 6 to that of 30 to i in nine months. The average value in silver of the whole amount of paper in circulation from April to September, 1779, was about six millions, and it sunk below five during the end of the year. The total amount of the paper was at that time two hundred millions; and although no further issues took place, and a portion was absorbed by the loan offices and by taxes, the depreciation still increased, and was at the end of the year i 780 at the rate of 8o dollars in paper to i in silver. The value in silver of the paper currency was tlien less than two millions and a half of dollars; and when Congress, in March following, acknowledged the depreciation, and offered to exchange the old for new paper at the rate of 40 for i, the ld sunk in one day to nothing, and the new shared the same fate.”[27]





SPEECH OF HON. A. R. BOTELER[28], OF VIRGINIA, ON THE ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUSE

DELIVERED IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, JANUARY 25, 1860

Mr. BOTELER[29]. I have, Mr. Clerk, no set speech to make. I have not come here to-day with that intention. I have sought the floor simply for the purpose of submitting a few suggestive remarks, which, I trust, will serve in some degree to promote the object which mans’ here are sincerely desirous of accomplishing — of bringing this discussion to a close, and perfecting the organization of the House. Sir, I do not stand here to-day to make any appeals to the prejudices, the passions, or the sectional pride of those who represent that quarter of the Confederacy from whence I come. I have no desire to indulge in any pyrotechnic display of “glittering generalities,” which, however much they may dazzle and amuse, are but little calculated to bring about any practical solution of the difficulty in which we are now involved like summer lightning, they “play around the head but do not touch the heart.” Nor is it my purpose to deal in any unjust, ungenerous, or unnecessarily harsh denunciation of those upon the other side of the Chamber, who, claiming to be conservative, are here in the exercise of their undoubted right as the Representatives of the country, entertaining sentiments utterly adverse from the sentiments held by my constituents and myself. I say I shall not indulge in any unnecessarily harsh denunciations of them. I recognize the fact that we who are assembled here to discharge the legitimate duties of legislation devolved upon us by our constituents, coming as we do from different and distant portions of this vast Confederacy, some of us from the rugged, rock-ribbed hills of the North, some from the ever-blooming plains of the South. some with the dust of the distant prairies on their feet, and others with the spray of either ocean on their brows, representing interests and opinions as variant as are the latitudes in which we live, must necessarily differ on mans points, it is not to be expected of us that there should be perfect uniformity of sentiment, and especially in regard to those great questions of public concernment which, from time to time, stir up the depths of human feeling in our land. But, sir, it is expected, and our country demands, patriotism requires at our hands, that, coming here under these circumstances, we should remember, in the language of a distinguished citizen of my good old State,”that we have a country to serve, as well as a party to obey.”

But, sir, what do we see? What is the spectacle which this House presents? On this side of it, with those with whom it has been my pride and my pleasure to act in good faith from first to last, what have we seen? Three organizations — a Democratic party, a southern Opposition party, and an anti-Lecompton party for we must recognize the last named as a party, since, though insignificant in number, they are most potential in their influence. Well, sir, what have they been doing? They know, they feel, the country knows, that it is only by a union amongst them all that we can beat down the nominee of the Republican party. They profess to be honest in their desire to accomplish that, and I know they are honest in their opposition to that nominee. But vet, with the majority and with the power in their hands, they have never once exercised that power to secure the object which they profess to be anxiously desirous of attaining. And why? Because they have allowed their party prejudces and their party pride to interfere with their patriotism. There has not been a ballot taken in which there has been a union of the different anti-Republican parties; and there will be no election resulting in the success of this side of the House unless there is such a union — a cordial and hearty union amongst us all.

Now, sir, let me illustrate our position here. We are all on board the same ship, the glorious old ship which our fathers built for us. They laid its keel; they fashioned its bulwarks; they forged the anchor of its hope; they launched it upon the ocean of national existence, and they gave us a chart by which to sail our ship. We have differed heretofore amongst ourselves; earnestly, sincerely, openly differed, as freemen should differ and will differ, in regard to the construction of that chart; we have differed amongst ourselves in regard to the best mode of working the ship. Some of us have been for sailing her upon this tack, some upon that tack; some have been for taking in a sail, others for shaking out a reef. We believe that, under Providence, our ship has been built to be the life-boat of the world; and throughout the progress of the voyage we have been constantly engaged in saving those who have come on board from the wrecks, the rafts, and rotten governments of the Old World. We have taken them into our vessel when they have been swimming for their lives. We have spread before them the table of our bounty; we have saved their lives and have given them an equal participation in the profits of our voyage; yet some of us (and I amongst the number) have seen, and seen with surprise and pain, that after they have been brought on board the ship, they have shown a propensity to interfere in the management of it, and we have said to them: “We have brought you here to save you, and to make you prosperous, happy, and free; but we are not willing that you shall take hold of the tiller and handle the ropes, until you have been here long enough to know one rope from another.”

Well, sir, this has been a source of honest difference of opinion amongst those on board, whilst all of us have loved the old craft, from truck to keel, with all our hearts. Thus we have voyaged; and whilst thus differing, what has happened? We have been drifting towards the breakers, we have been insensibly drawn towards a lee shore, where no light-house sends it friendly ray! A storm has arisen upon us; we hear the

spirit of the tempest shrieking in the shrouds; clouds of danger, difficulty, and doubt are dimming the heaven of our hopes, and threatening to burst in desolation over our heads! And not only that; but, sr, we see yonder “a band of mutineers” determined to take possession of the vessel; men associated together to dispossess us of our rights, and to deprive us of our property, who would thrust us down the hold, and batten the hatches over our heads. And yet, in the midst of all these imminent dangers which are threatening the destruction of the ship. we have been engaged here for weeks past in a disgraceful squabble upon theoretical points of political navigation!

Now, Mr. Clerk, I ask is it right, is it reasonable, can we answer to our constituents, and to the country, if we continue to allow these paltry, miserable differences to interfere with our duty, and to prevent cordial, united action among the conservatives of the House against those whom we recognize, and whom we are are bound to recognize as our common enemy.

Sir, I have no practical suggestion to offer; there are older heads than mine here to do that; but I do protest against the continuance of this most unnecessary discussion. For myself, the House will do mc the justice to say that I have occupied my seat upon this floor in silence during the seven weary weeks we have been in session, while this exciting discussion has been going on, and whilst the infamous Abolition outrage upon the district I have the honor to represent has been the fruitful inspiration of almost every gentleman who has risen to address the House. Now, sir, I was present at that horrible Harper’s Ferry raid; I was a witness to that abominable outrage; I saw the blood of my friends shed in the streets of Harper’s Ferry; and if there is a man here who has a right to discuss that subject. it is myself and yet I have forborne. I have remained silent for various reasons, not the least of which is that the distinguished Senator before me (Mr. Mason) is engaged in the investigation of the facts connected with the whole affair, and will present them fully and fairly, at the proper time, before the country, to leave it judge of them, after which I shall avail myself of a suitable opportunity to mention some circumstances to the I louse concerning that foray which I wish the country to know, and which justice to my constituents requires that it shall know from me.

There is another reason which, I must confess, has also influenced me in this matter. I know and I have been painfully conscious of’ it whenever my mind has reverted to that dark day that when the heart feels most, the tongue refuses to perform its wonted task.

And, sir, when I have heard gentlemen on the other side of the floor stand up and derisively refer to that infamous outrage. I have been hardly able to retain my seat and refrain from the expression of m~ indignation in terms which might not have sounded parliamentary My mind, sir, has again and again, during this discussion, gone back to that gloomy October evening, when I stood by the side of a friend, and laid my hand upon his brow were the death damp was gathering, while the blood was gushing from his noble heart. and I have been often disposed to say, in apology for my forbearance:



“Oh pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth.

‘That I am meek and gentle with these butchers!”



For I tell you, sir, that in my opinion, the leaders of the Abolition party, which is seeking to control the organization of’ this House, and to obtain possession of’ the Government, are as much the murderers of my friends at Harper’s Ferry as were old John Brown and his deluded followers. and I think that the committee engaged in the investigation in my State, and the investigation on the part of the Senate. will prove that the agitation of the slavery question by the grcat leaders of the Republican party has been the direct cause of the Harper’s Fcrrv invasion

I tell you furthcr. sir, that the Commonwealth of Virginia has come to the determination that this shall be the end of it:

that this slavery agitation shall cease, so far as she is that her ( ) shall he protected from repetition of’ that bloody raid. She has taken same indemnity for the past and means to have security for the future. Sir, to make her determination good. she has buckled on her armor, and her borders are now bristling with bayonets[30], for she feels compelled to take the guardianship of her rights and her honor into her own hands. Heretofore she has trusted to the tie of consanguinity; heretofore she has relied upon the linked shields of all the States for her protection; but, sir, at a moment when she dreamed not of it, she has been smitten upon the cheek. Our honored old mother has been struck a blow which has roused her children from their false security, and rallied them to her rescue. We now discover that we must depend upon our own right arm to protect our State from further outrage, so long as there remains a “Republican” organization in Congress and the country. Why will you persist, men of the North, in maintaining that organization? What good do you expect to effect by it? You formed it, so you have said, for the sole purpose of making Kansas a free State. You have Kansas, and when she comes into this Union, she will come in “free.” If there be any other purpose that you expect to accomplish by it, it must be to transfer your “irrepressible conflict” from the Territories to the States.

But, gentlemen of the other side, I know there are some among you who profess to be conservative, and are conservative, as compared with the moving spirits of your party. The distinguished gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Corwin) who sits before me, and who has entertained us and held this House for two days in listening admiration, by his intellectual efforts, claims to be I wish he were so in reality — the leader of the Republican party; but how few arc they who gather round him, who will recognize him as their leader, and will indorse the sentiments he has uttered here yesterday and the day before. When I look at him, when I see him there amongst them — a triton amongst the minnows — when I see him there, sir, my mind goes back to the literature of my boyish days, and I remember how it was that once upon a time Gulliver, in his travels, laid himself down to sleep in the country of the Lilliputians; how the pigmies climbed upon his person and wound their tiny chains about him; how they bound his hands, and so led him, a spectacle of wonder, through the land. Oh, sir, if I could but make such an appeal to that distinguished gentleman as would awaken a responsive feeling in his heart, its patriotic throbs would burst the bonds which bind him to the earth, he would stand erect in the frightened presence of his diminutive associates. and would march forth with a firm tread from the low miasmatic marshes of sectionalism and join us here upon the high ground ‘of nationality, where the flag of the Union floats “with not a stripe erased or polluted, or a single star obscured. (Applause from the Democratic benches and in the galleries.) And the leader. (Mr. Sherman.) whom they recognize; the leader who hears their banner, I listened to his explanation, or rather his attempt at explanation, made a few davs since, with sincere sympathy for him. In my very soul I pits hint. And it is with wonder and amazement that I behold a gentleman with the traits which that gentleman is said to have — for he must have noble traits who, during so many weeks of conflict, can keep friends around him in unbroken ranks, persisting in their efforts to place him in the third position under our Government — to see such a gentleman permit himself to remain for one hour more before the country, as he is. according to his own account of himself, and the account his friends have given of hint, in connection with the Helpcr Book.

What has he told the House? What has his friend who nominated him (Mr. Corwmn) told this House? That he signed the recommendation of the Helper book[31] at the solicitation of a friend who came to him and asked him to sign it; that he took the precaution to inquire ol’ the friend whether there would be anything objectionable in the compilation, and was assured that there would not, that the book would be prepared by a committee, &c. Well, sir, what has that committee done? They have put forth a book under the sanction of Mr. Shermans name, which is everywhere denounced as objectictionable. and which is. unquestionably a most infamous publication; a book which he himself intimates his objection to. and, as I understand. desires an opportunity to denounce as it deserves. They have deceived him: they have betrayed lion: him, have made him their victim, their dupe. and . their tool: and he submits to it all! Yes, sir, it is admitted that thcy have deceived him. For hc allows the inference to be made that he does not indorse this most infamous Helper book. I am told, indeed, that gentlemen on the other side - if the gentIcman from Missouri will withdraw his resolution — one after the other, will rise and denounce that book. That is what they say in private. They are ready to denounce it now, and well they may be; for, sir, I would like to see a man in the American Congress who would rise in his place and indorse the sentiments of that book, after all that has occurred within the last three months. If any man should do sh here in our presence, we would see a traitor standing in our midst.

Mr. Clerk, the gentleman from Ohio still occupies his position. Week after week he has occupied it, and Heaven only knows how long he will continue to hold on to it. But his chance is gone. I tell him, in all candor, that he cannot be elected to the Speakership. and is not fit for the position: not meaning, however, to say that his private virtues and personal graces would not fit him to fill that chair. From his association with this infamous Helper book, and the manner in which he has been persistently pressed at this particular time, he never can he Speaker. and never should be called upon to preside over the deliberations of this body To be elected at all, it must be by means of the plurality rule; and a vote upon the plurality rule, it is understood. must he a sneaking vote for Sherman. Now, sir, that plurality rule never can come to a vote. I do not hesitate to say that I was one of those, after the discussion arose in the House the other day, who sought out the paper referred to by the gentleman from Indiana, (Mr. Colfax) and that I placed my name to it, pledging myself to stand here day and night to, oppose by all lawful means the adoption of the plurality rule; and I will stay here in this Hall. eat here. drink here. lie here. and, if necessary, die here — before I give any sanction, as a Representative from Virginia, to that rule, when I am satisfied that its adoption will result in the election of John Sherman as Speaker of this House.

Mr. Colfax Will the gentleman allow me to ask him a question? I do not wish to interfere without the gentleman’s consent.

Mr. Boteler. Certainly.

Mr. Coffax. Suppose any number of gentlemen, after it was organized. were satisfied that an appropriation bill reported by the Committee of Ways and Means contained an appropriation of money which would probably be used by the Federal Administration for corrupt purposes. I do not say that would be; I only put the case as a supposititious one:would you justify us in signing a written agreement, binding ourselves to each other, that we would. by a factious opposition, prevent any vote ever being taken upon it, and thus prevent a majority from adopting it? If so, all legislation could be thus arrested.

Mr. Boteler. You have to meet your own responsibility to your constituency, and I am responsible to mine. I can go back to mine, and hold up my head, with the full assurance in my heart that the position I have taken during this protracted struggle for the Speakership will be indorsed by every one of my constituents whose good opinion is worth an effort to retain. You can do the same.

But I have yet to learn that that is a majority side of the House. I am going upon the premises that this is the majority side of this House, and that the factious course is pursued by the other side. That is the factious side. True, it is a side with seventeen States represented by it; but I see not a single southern man affiliating with them not one. I look upon the flag they carry, and I cannot recognize upon it the escutcheon of a single State south of Mason and Dixon’s line.

But, Mr. Clerk, I am sorry I have been betrayed into these extended remarks. I assure gentlemen I rose not to bring the torch of discord among the members of the house, but to offer the olive branch of peace. I rose to make an appeal to gentlemen upon this side; to make an appeal to my distinguished friend from Ohio (Mr. Corwin) before me to my friends from Pennsylvania and New Jersey, some of whom were old college-mates, and whom I had not met before for twenty years, but whom I see now, to my great regret, upon that side of the House, voting and acting against the interests of my State. I came here, sir, to stand by those gentlemen from Pennsylvania and New Jersey in their rights and interests. I came here a tariff man; though not a protective man for protection’s sake; not in favor of a high protective tariff, yet ready to lock my shield with theirs, and fight out the great question of protection to their interests. But I see them arrayed against my interests and the interests of my constituents and how can they expect that I shall be round fighting zealously with them for their interests? Sir, I have said that I am in favor of protection. I desire that every man in this country of ours, from the Aroostook to the Gulf of Mexico no matter what his occupation may be, whether he shoves the plane or throws the shuttle, whether he works in the mine, or, like myself, belongs to the great agricultural interests of the country shall feel that his Government is with him and not against him. I would have every farmer throughout the land feel, as he scatters the golden grain in the furrows, that, next to the Providence of Almighty God, who sends the sunshine and the shower, the seed time and the harvest, that the Government discriminates for his interests and not against them.



I came here to vindicate that principle side by side with those whom I believed to be conservative men from the great States of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, (that old battle-ground of the Revolution, where my fathers stood with theirs, shoulder to shoulder, in the snows of Trenton and the hot sands of Monmouth,) to vindicate that great principle of protection to American industry, in accordance with the necessities of the times. But I find you rallying behind a sectional banner, and giving aid and comfort to that intolerant sectional organization of the North, the fundamental principle of which is opposition to slavery. I cannot, therefore, expect that any appeal I may make to you will be listened to.

Mr. Hale. Will the gentleman from Virginia allow me to ask him a question?

Mr. Boteler. I certainly will permit the gentleman to ask me a question?

Mr. Hale. You say you find us arrayed against your rights and interests, and that you came here to endeavor to promote the interests of Pennsylvania. I would like to know what rights or interests of Virginia the Pennsylvania members have attacked on this floor, or what rights they propose to attack? We have stood by you, as I understand. In your Harper’s Ferry foray, as you call it, Pennsylvania acted the part of a sister State, according to the testimony of Governor Wise himself, and returned your fugitives from justice. Pennsylvania, sir, has always done her duty to her sister States; and I defy any gentleman from Virginia, or any other gentleman upon this floor, to show that in any respect Pennsylvania has failed in her duty to any sister State in any manner whatever. When gentlemen deal in general charges like these, they ought to specify wherein we are interfering with their rights.

Mr. Boteler. I recognize the fact — and it is a fact which affords me pleasure, a fact of which even Pennsylvanian may well be proud that her Governor did his duty fully, fairly, faithfull, in returning to Virginia the fugitives from her justice, and that he was sustained by the people of Pennsylvania in that patriotic act; and, sir, I came here prepared to testify to the State of Pennsylvania my grateful appreciation of the conduct of her Governor. I am still grateful to the people of Pennsylvania, who, I believe, are misrepresented upon this floor by those who have from first to last acted with the other side, to whom, however, there may be some exceptions. (Referring to those who voted for Mr. Gilmer.)

The gentleman asks me when he had acted contrary to the interests of Virginia? You have done it, sir, on every ballot in which you have given your vote for a sectional candidate, whom the people of Virginia must regard, if elected to that chair, as having been forced upon the country against their interests, against their wishes, and against the protestation of every man, woman, and child, within her borders.

Now, sir, a word to Massachusetts.

Mr. Hale. I would ask the gentleman if we are not the best judges of what our constituents desire?

Mr. Vahlandigham. I rise to a question of order. I object to this interruption.

Mr. Hale. Has the gentleman the right to say — (Loud cries of “Order!” from the Democratic benches.)

Mr. Hale. Has the gentleman the right to say — (Cries of “Order!” “Order!”)

Mr. Vallandigham. I insist upon the point of order.

Mr. Botcher. The election which returned these gentleman here took place a month before the John Brown raid. The people of the North know, they must know, they cannot fail to see, what is the inevitable tendency of this slavery agitation. They have been told by you, the politicians, you the leaders and we have allowed ourselved to be deluded by the syren song sung in our ears that you do not intend to interfere with slavery within the States. Personally, I believe you do not. Personally, there is not a leader among you all not even Fred Douglass who can be found with courage enough to come into the southern States and interfere with slavery there. But, from year to year, you have beaten the drum of abolitionism in all the highways and byeways of the North. From your pulpit and press and forum, in season and out of season, you have preached to the rising generation that slavery is a curse; and that anti-slavery sentiment has stimulated others, less careful of their personal safety, to come amongst us with a hostile intent, to steal our slaves and incite them to insurrection.

I can illustrate this by an incident which occurred in my own county the other day. That poor wretch, Coppie, a week or two before his execution, stood at the window of his prison, pressing his brow against the iron bars across it, looking out intently in the street at the happy groups of negroes assembled there, and after some time, he turned away and sobbed. A friend asked why he sobbed. “Sir.” said he, I have seen, day after day, the negroes in your streets, and they are better clad than the laboring people of the northern States; they are well cared for in every way, and see, oh! see how happy!” Said my friend, “What did you expect? “Oh,” said he, “I have been taught to believe that they were downtrodden and oppressed, and were ready to cluch at liberty: but they refused it when we offered them the boon.”

Now, Mr. Clerk, who is responsible for this? On whose head is the blood of Coppie? There was not a man amongst the Harper’s Ferry insurgents except John Brown, who was not born since 1830, and who did not grow up under the influence of abolition preaching. This sir, is a significant fact, which I commend to the thinking portion of my countrymen. There was not one of them who had not breathed the atmosphere of abolition, and who had not his mind poisoned against the South by such teachings. You do not care for the negro. You admit the fact. It is a most miserable hobby upon which you have ridden into (poverty). Now, in the name of our common country, I demand that you disband your anti-slavery party and take down your piratical flag!

When sir, I have heard the name of a gentleman called here, day after day, first on the roll — a great. historic name, (Mr. Adams,) I have been reminded of Massachusetts in her prouder day in the heroic age of the Republic. I have been reminded of a historical incident connected with the county in which I live — that county selected by John Brown for his bloody raid: and feel that I have a right to appeal to the Massachusetts delegation here, if they are not deaf to the voice of consanguinity, and if they are, I appeal from them to their people on this question I demand of them to come up to the rescue of the country now as they did in the good old times of their revolutionary fathers.

The district which I represent. and the county where I live — that county made famous by the raid of Brown — was the first, the very first in all the South. To send succor to Massachusetts in the time of her direst necessity! In one of the most beautiful spots in that beautiful county, within rifle shot of my residence, at the base of a hill. where a glorious spring leaps out into sunlight from beneath the gnarled roots of a thunder-riven oak, there assembled on the (10th) of July, 1775, the very first band of southern men who marched to the aid of Massachusetts. They met there, then, and their rallying cry was. “a bee-line for Boston.” That beautiful and peaceful valley the “valley of the Shenandoah” had never been polluted by the footsteps of a foe: for even the Indians themselves had, according to tradition, kept it free from the incursion of their enemies. It was the hunting range and neutral ground of the aborigines. The homes of those who lived there then were far beyond the reach of danger. But Boston was beleagured! The hearths of your fathers were threatened with pollution, and the fathers of those whom I represent, rallied to their protection:



“Thcy left the plow share in the mould,

Their flocks and herds without a fold.

The sickle in the unshorn grain,

Their corn half-garnered on the plain.

And mustered in their simple dress,



Thus the mustered around the spring I speak of, and from thence they made their “Bee-line for Boston.” Before they marched, they made a pledge that all who survived would assemble there fifty years after that day. it is my pride and pleasure to remember that I, though but a child then, was present at the spring when the fifty years rolled round. Three aged, feeble, tottering men — the survivors of that glorious band of one hundred and twenty — were all who were left to keep their tryst, and be faithful to the pledge made fifty years before to their companions, the bones of most of whom had been left bleaching on your northern hills.

Sir, I have often heard from the last survivor of that band of patriots the incidents of their first meeting and their march; how they made some six hundred miles in thirty days

— twenty miles a day — and how, as they neared their point of destination, Washington. who happened to be making a reconnoissance in the neighborhood, saw them approaching, and recognizing the linsey-woolsey hunting-shirts of old Virginia, galloped up to meet and greet them to the camp: how, when he saw their captain, his old companion-in-arms. Stephenson, who had stood by his side at the Great Meadows, on Braddock’s fatal field, and in many an Indian campaign — and who reported himself to his commander as from the right bank of the Potomac — he sprang from his horse and clasped his old friend and companion-in-arms with both hands. He spoke no word of welcome: but the eloquence of silence told what his tongue could not articulate. He moved along the ranks, shaking the hand of each, from man to man, and all the while — as my informer told me — the big tears were seen rolling down his checks.

Ay, sir, Washington wept! And why did the glorious soul of Washington swell with emotion? why did he weep? Sir. they were tears of joy! and he wept because he saw that the cause of Massachusetts was practically the cause of Virginia: because he saw that her citizens recognized the great principles involved in the contest. These Virginia volunteers had come spontaneously. They had come in response to the words of her Henry, that were leaping like live thunder through the land, telling the people of Virginia that they must fight, and fight for Massachusetts. They had come to rally with Washington to defend our fathers’ firesides. to protect their homes from harm. Well, the visit has been returned. John Brown selected that very county, whose citizens went so promptly to the aid of the North when the North needed aid, as the most appropriate place in the South to carry out the doctrines of the “irrepressible conflict;” and, as was mentioned in the Senate yesterday, the rock where Leeman fell was the very rock over which Morgan and his men marched a few hours after Stephenson’s[32] command had crossed the river some ten miles further up.

May this historical reminiscence rekindle the embers of patriotism in our hearts! Why should this nation of ours be (bent) in pieces by this irrepressible conflict? Is it irrepressible? The battle will not be fought out upon this floor. For when the dark day comes, as come it may, when this question, that now divides and agitates the hearts of the people, shall be thrust from the forum of debate, to be decided by the bloody arbitrament of the sword, it will be the saddest day for us and all mankind that the sun of Heaven has ever shone upon.

I trust, Mr. Clerk, that this discussion will now cease. I trust that all will make an effort, by balloting, and by a succession of ballotings. to organize the House. I trust that we will go on in our efforts, day after day, until we do effect an organization, and proceed to perform the duties which we were sent here to discharge that the great heart of our country will cease to pulsate with the anxiety which now causes it to throb: and that ( ) ( ) each, in our appropriate sphere. do what we can to make ourselves more worthy of the inestimable blessings, which a good God has given us. and which can only be enjoyed by a free, a virtuous, and united people. (Applause.)[33]

Harold Goodlove was one of the boys (fifteen of them) from Linn County, who, accompanied by Agent Thurman, attended the short course at Ames last week.[40]



January 25, 1929



SARAH C. GOODLOVE

John and Catherine Pyle were living in Clark county, Ohio, when on the 15th day of May, 1844, their daughter Sarah was born. Three brothers and a sister welcomed into their circle this baby sister.



About two years after her birth the family was called upon to mourn the death of their husband and father. They continued their residence on the farm till Sarah had come to young womanhood Then they migrated into Minnesota where the children had the advantage of the Red Wing schools. This present season of the year brings to our minds her stories of skating on the MississiPpi river there at Red Wing.



In the course of years she taught sohool. Somehow, she was led by the Unseen Hand to make a visit to Linn county, Iowa, to the home of a relative. While here she was engaged to teach the country school which a part of the time, was held in the parlor of Grandma Goodloves's house. Here she remet him WhO, as a boy, had played with her brothers in Ohio, and who was a little later to take her unto himself as his life companion. And on the 20th day of June, 1866 she gave her heart and hand to Wm. Goodlove at Hastings, Minnesota.



They settled on a farm at Wildcat Grove, Marion TownshiP,

Linn County and later moved to the farm in Maine township.

This was their home till they moved to Central City in 1912.

To their union six children were born.



A few years after their marriage Mrs. Goodlove's own mother came to maker her home with them and remained with them until her passing away. With characteristic tenderness she cared for mother till the end of an 88 year journey on Life's road.



Mrs. Goodlove was a life long member of the Methodist Episcopal Church faithful to it in every detail up to the last Sunday or two before Christmas. She reared her family in the fear and admonition of the Lord. No other calls superceded those of her family and her church. Her heart Of sympathy and helpfulness will be spoken of down through the years, and will be measured by the many who knew her and loved her. She was also a member of the Womans Relief Corps and manifested toward it a ceaseless loyalty.



The family circle has now been broken three times, their daughter Nettie I. Gray, passed away September 15, 1911, the husband and father January l8, 1916, and the wife and mother January 5, 1929 after a brief illness.



Her passing from this life is mourned by her five surviving children, Willis L, Oscar S., and Earl Goodlove, Cora A. Wilkinson and Jessie G. Bowdish. Also by 25 grandchildren and 16 greatgrandchildren and a host of friends.



The funeral services were held in the Methodist church in Central City, January 8, 1929. A former pastor, Rev. Chas.Luce was in charge of the service. He was assisted by the Rev. Mr. McKinley, pastor of the local church, and by the Rev. Wm. Winfrey of the Baptist church. Interment was made in the Jordans Grove cemetery by the side of her husband.[41]



January 25, 1940: The Nazi decreed the establishment of Jewish ghetto in Lodz, Poland.[42]



On January 25, 1943, Gunther, Eichmann’s assistant, replied (XXVI-70) that the Reich’s Transportation Ministry had given the green light for the transport in freight cars of 1,500 to 2,000 Jews from Drancy to Auschwitz. There was no objection, cabled Gunther, to the deportation of French Jews if it were undertaken in accordance with the guidelines for the evacuation of the Jews from France. Moreover, he indicated that the escort from Drancy to the Reich’s border would be a commando from the SD of Metz and that after the border, the Ordnungspolizei would escort the convly to Auschwitz. On January 26 (XXVc-198), Knochen telexed to all the regional Gestapo offices: arrest all deportable Jews and transfer them to Drancy. Thus, for example, on January 28, 170 persons arrived from Bordeau (XXVc-198); on January 29, Merdsche, the Commander of Orleans, sent 67 Jews to Drancy, among them 25 women and 4 children; from Poitiers 22 internees arrived; from Dijon, on February 1, 70 Jews (XXVc-199); and from Angers, 9 (XXVc-202). [43]



January 25, 1942: Max Gottlieb, born November 13, 1878 in Berlin. Bitte, Grose Hamburger Str. 26. 10. Resided Berlin. Deportation: from Berlin, January 25, 1942, Riga. Place of death:Riga, missing.[44]



January 25, 1944: Hans Frank, governor-general of Occupied Poland, notes in his diary that approximately 100,000 Jews remain in the region under his control, down by 3,400,000 from the end of 1941.[45]



January 25, 1944: The Allies carry out a successful air attack on the Schweinfurt ball-bearing factory, causing great damage to the German war effort.[46]



January 25, 1945: The Nazis begin the evacuation of the Stutthof concentration camp. In yet another Death March prisoners are sent westward in the middle of driving snow storm.. Many would die from freezing. Others were shot or thrown into the icy Baltic Sea.[47]



January 25, 2009: The Holy See lifts excommunication

• By the power expressly conferred on him by Pope Benedict XVI, the Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops issued a decree on January 21, 2009 remitting, at their request, the excommunication of Bishops Fellay, Tissier de Mallerais, Williamson and Gallareta.[48] L'Osservatore Romano of January 25, 2009, spoke of "the excommunication that they (the four bishops) had incurred twenty years ago",[49] said that they had incurred latae sententiae excommunication"[50] and declared that, by means of the decree, the Pope "remits the excommunication that lay upon the Prelates in question".[51]

[31] Hinton Helper (“The Impending Crises”) In 1857 in New York, Hinton Rowan Helper (1829-1909) published The Impending Crisis of the South: How to Meet It Helper was a nonslaveowner from South Carolina Unlike Uncle Tom’s Cabin The Impending Crises tried to use facts and statistics (mainly from the 1850 census) to convince readers that slavery was hurting the southern economy. Helper argued that slavery was the reason that the North actually had a larger agricultural output than the South and that land values in the North were considerably highter than in the South (He also noted lower rates of literacy commerce, etc.) Unfortunately, the actual statistics did not reflect Helper’s claims. He forgot to use per capita figures, so it was not surprising that the North outproduced the South. Helper proposed nonslaveowners into a political party aimed at gradually. Abolishing slavery by passing laws making it unprofitable (taxes on slaves, boycotts against slaveowners, etc.). Helper’s rhetoric was surprisingly fierce, causing many places in the South to ban his book. The Republican party, however , distributed 100,000 copies of an abridged version to help in the 1860 campaign. The book caused intense controversy, aggravating sectional tensions.

Helper spent the war years as US consul in Buenos Aires After the war, he published books denouncing free blacks. These books made him an embarrassment to the republican party. He was no longer taken seriously. Helper spent the last years of his life promtin a transcontinental railroad, not east-west, but north-south from Hudson Bay to Cape Horn. This idea was a dismal failure. On March 8, 1909, Helper committed suicide by closing the door to his room, wrapping a towel around his neck, and turning on the gas.
