William Parker Cutler's Congressional Diary Of 1862-63
description: WILLIAM PARKER CUTLER'S CONGRESSIONAL DIARY OF 1862-63 Allan G. Bogue William Parker Cutler's career in the first United States Congress of the Civil War appears at first glance to have been less than noteworthy. Elected as a Republican to the House of Representatives from the 16th District of Ohio in 1860, Cutler first assumed his legislative duties at the beginning of the emergency summer session of 1861. In that body, he proposed that the proportion of taxes to be levied on real estate in the increased revenue bill should be decreased but later withdrew his amendment to that end.1 During the long second session of this Congress, Cutler reported four actions of the Committee on Invalid Pensions and submitted a resolution allowing the messenger of the sergeant at arms of the House to act for his principal while the latter was absent because of "severe family afflictions ." He also proposed two amendments to the Internal Revenue bill, providing in the one instance that no tax should be levied on railroads that had not paid dividends and a second designed to exempt promissory notes, drafts, or orders of fifty dollars or less from the action of the law. Neither of these proposals, however, was accepted. In the debate on the Pacific Railroad bill, Cutler interjected a short explanatory statement about the western railroad surveys. On April 23, 1862, he delivered an extended speech in the debate on confiscation in which he called strongly for the destruction of slavery. This contribution terminated his activity on the floor during the second session of the Thirty-seventh Congress.2 1 William ParkerCutler's political career is summarized in the Biographical Directory of the American Congress, 1774-1961 (Washington: Government Printing Office, 1961), 769-70.
