Softcover. 27 p.; 23 cm. [title continues] A sermon preached.in Christ Church, Raleigh, on the occasion of the consecration of the Rt. Rev. Theodore Benedict Lyman, D.D., Assistant Bishop of North Carolina. December 11, 1873. Published by request. -- After reflecting on a former Bishop of North Carolina, Levi Silliman Ives, who 'after tossing many days upon the sea of doubt, emerged only to hang up his Episcopal signet as a votive offering in the temple of one who claims to be the universal Pontiff', then recalling 'What generous pity possesses us as we mention Newman, the pure and saintly victim to the excess of his sensibilities and the very subtlety of his logic!', how Henry Edward Manning 'accepts as inspiration the dreams of a crazy nun', John William Colenso in his 'revolt against dogma, the demand for the privilege of absolute free thought' and George David Cummins who 'abandoned the Church' to found the Reformed Episcopal Church in 1873 (p. 11-13), he asks `Is it true that Semi-Romanism is likely to overmaster our church and that it may be resisted more successfully under a new organization? We will unite to deny the unbelieving proverb, "Error is impotent for mischief so long as reason is left free to combat it." But we may give it a Christian paraphrase, and so adopt it. Error is impotent to usurp dominion in the Church, when that Church is instinct with devout affection and abundant in good works and alms-deeds.'

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical, legal, and cultural case for the admission of Sequoyah, Indian Territory as the 47th state of the American Union. The author argues that the people of Sequoyah have a present and urgent claim to statehood. Not only by treaty rights established between the US and various tribes dating back to the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 and the Indian Removal Act of 1830 but also by constitutional right enshrined in the Ordinance of 1787, the precedents set by admissions of other states, and the simple natural rights of its nearly three-quarters of a million citizens. The author lays out a powerful argument for a sovereign Sequoyah, emphasizing its immense natural resources, its history of self-governance, and the demands of its growing population. Timely and thought-provoking, this book illuminates an often-overlooked facet of American history and law and advocates for justice and equality for the people of Sequoyah.

A substantial letter by Benjamin Wingate, Mexican-American War veteran and future namesake of Fort Wingate, New Mexico, written during his frontier service at Fort Gibson in the Cherokee Nation. Responding to news that the execution of a man named Clark had been delayed, Wingate launches into a lengthy and forceful rejection of capital punishment: "You speak of Clark's execution in your letter, that it did not take place at the appointed time, but to express an opinion on the subject I hope that it never did take place; do not understand me to say that I want him to go unpunished. I should be very sorry to hear that there has been a man hanged in old Scott. I know but little of the circumstances concerning the case, but if indeed he be guilty of murder, he should be punished, and that punishment should be such as to not take his life, as there is doubtless many other ways of inflicting punishment besides taking life [.] I hold the opinion to be a sound one that man should not take the life of his fellow man except in self defense and then not if it could be avoided. I look upon the law of punishing capital offences as being barbarous and savage in the extreme. It is a subject that the attention of the law making or legislating power should be called to act on." Living amid the Indigenous nations of Indian Territory, Wingate makes a comparison with the customs around him: "The present law is more barbarous if possible than the laws and customs of the Indians in this part of the country. If a rich Indian kills a poor Indian he can make atonement for the crime by paying a certain sum of money, but if one Indian kills another Indian and is not able to pay for him, they kill him in return." Fort Gibson, established within Cherokee country, was one of the principal U.S. military posts in Indian Territory, and Wingate's comments come from a young Army officer living within that environment. The comparison is striking precisely because he uses what he understands as Native retaliatory justice as the measure by which to criticize American law. The letter then turns to family gossip and politics. Wingate jokes that the election of Zachary Taylor meant "that the Whigs are as badly whipped as they was when they elected J. Tyler," anticipating that Taylor would "doubtless have to take a trip up salt river, if he is not burnt in effigy by the Whigs before that time." More appealing personally was the news then pouring out of California. In January 1849, with the Gold Rush only beginning to transform American migration westward, Wingate was already considering abandoning the Army: "I have been thinking very strong for some time of resigning and going to California but I am not off yet, nor I don't know that I will get off soon if at all. But whether I should or should not go, it is certainly a very great opening for a young man to make a fortune in a short time if there is any confidence to be placed in reports." He remained instead in military service. Wingate had fought in Mexico at Cerro Gordo and subsequently served on the frontier in Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and New Mexico. He was mortally wounded at the Battle of Valverde during the Civil War; Fort Wingate, established in New Mexico later in 1862, was named in his honor. The Filson Historical Society preserves correspondence of Wingate and the allied Hardy family, including Arba L. Hardy, the recipient here.[1] An appealing early Wingate letter, combining an extended argument against capital punishment with observations from Indian Territory and the immediate lure of California at the opening of the Gold Rush.
