Clayton Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Historical Society of Delaware: I should state, before I commence my reading of this memoir, that I have exhibited the subject of it in a most favorable light. A memoir should do nothing less; especially when prepared, as this has been, at the instance of a Society concerned in presenting the distinguished men of the State, and the features of her history, in the best view for public admiration. With this in my mind, and yet not forgetting the duty I owed to truth, I have delineated the character and achievements of John M. Clayton as they appeared to me, his cotemporary and admirer; though not insensible, however, to knowledge of infirmities of nature common to most of us.

Clayton of Delaware, Upon the Oregon Question: Delivered in the Senate of the United States, February 12, 1846 The two propositions differ also in another and a very important respect. The latter holds out, if not expressly, at least by the clearest implication, that all negotiations between the United States and Great Britain ought' not now to be held as finally closed, and amounts to a recommendation that the Executive shall continue the existing negotiations with a view to the peaceable adjustment of the conflicting claims of the two Governments. Between the two, I can have no hesitation m saying that I prefer that offered by the honorable Senator from Kentucky. The other proposes in effect that notice shall be given immediately, and leaves the Presi dent no discretion 111 the case. It assumes that Congress are so thoroughly.

Clayton, of Delaware, on the Veto Message of the President, on the Bill for the Benefit of the Indigent Insane: In the Senate of the United States, June 15, 1854 It is quite clear than that the exclusive applica tion of the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, to expenses of the Federal Government, if it should cause, as the Senator says, the necessary diminution of taxation, by which he means duties on imports, may produce very une ual efl'ects upon t e States of this Union, and e injuries thus inflicted upon some may be destructive to them while it ma be by no means so severely felt by others. It as been said that if the pro ceeds of the sales of the public lands had been properly husbanded, and they were all new care fully applied to the ordinary expenses of the Gov ernment, if the wasteful system of donations had never been introduced, and the funds had been economically protected and ap lied, they would now pay the ex enses of a tru y economical ad ministration of t e Government without resorting to the customs. Lbe this as it may, it will at least be admitted by all, 'they would materially reduce the amount necessary to be collected for the ordinary ex enses of Government, so that if duties on im po ts were laid onl for revenue, the tarid' would be so much loweredt at no essential rotection could be derived from it on an arti e of American growth or manufacture. Ith'five per cent. Duties assessed on a fore' n valuation, what would be come at once.of t a coal and iron interest of Penns lvania, or the sugar of Louisiana, or the manu ctures of the northern and middle States generally? Any man can thus see the utter fal acy of the argument of the honorable Senator when he assumes it as a postulate not to be denied him, that, by applying the avails of the public lands exclusively o the expenses of Government.

This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Hon. John M. Clayton of Delaware, in Regard to Captain S. F. Du Pont, U. S. N, in the Senate of the United States, March 11, 1856, in Executive Session I do not think it worth while to dwell upon the responsible, oner ous, and disagreeable duties he has often been called on to perform, as a member of courts-martial and courts of inquiry, otherwise than to notice them as evidences of the confidence and respect of the head of the Navy. His present situation on the light-house board, of which he is now a member, and has been from its first organization - taking an active part in the creation of the present light-house establishment -a-is another and conclusive proof of his high standing with his Gov erument. Captain Du Pont has also contributed to adorn his profession and benefit his country with his pen. While in 1851 the idea prevailed in the country of modifying the existing system of national defenses by the introduction, to a greater or less extent, of oating batteries, Captain Du Pout was called upon by the Secretary of War to express his opinions on the subject. His report on the national defenses was considered so masterly, that it has been republished separately, and very generally distributed by some officers of the corps of engineers. It has received distinguished notice abroad. Lieutenant General Sir Howard Douglass, in the last edition of his standard work on gunnery, a work which has always been considered, both in England and in this country, as the highest authority, has cited its opinions and conclusions with respect and reliance, and styles it an admirable work.

Clayton, of Delaware, in the United States Senate, March 31, and April 1, 1856: In Reply to Senator Houston, of Texas, and Others, and in Defense of the Naval Board Ever since the days of General Jackson, each successive President has exercised this power oi' removal without question from any quarter whatever. He has exercised it in every instance without control, without record, without trial, and without giving notice to the party accused. No man has contended for years past that a per son removed from office had a right to demand from the Executive of this country the reason for which he was removed, ormight require a trial before he was removed, or the production of a record to show the grounds for his removal, 'or that notice should be given him, and that he should be heard anywhere in regard to the removal. We had in vain denounced the tyranny of the pro scri tive policy, and we yielded, however reluct ant y, to the popular will.

Book excerpt: In the spring of 2010, Harvard Business School’s graduating class asked HBS professor Clay Christensen to address them—but not on how to apply his principles and thinking to their post-HBS careers. The students wanted to know how to apply his wisdom to their personal lives. He shared with them a set of guidelines that have helped him find meaning in his own life, which led to this now-classic article. Although Christensen’s thinking is rooted in his deep religious faith, these are strategies anyone can use. Since 1922, Harvard Business Review has been a leading source of breakthrough ideas in management practice. The Harvard Business Review Classics series now offers you the opportunity to make these seminal pieces a part of your permanent management library. Each highly readable volume contains a groundbreaking idea that continues to shape best practices and inspire countless managers around the world.
