CONFEDERATION
ON TO
PERPETUAL UNION
THE UNITED STATES.
COLONIAL GO^rERXMENTS.
The title by which England claimed Xorth America originated in the dis-
coveries made hy CaliR. In March, 149G, Henry the Sevei-th commissioned
John Cahot and his three sons, Sebastian, Lewis, and Sanctius, to proceed
on a voyage of discovery. Under this authority Cabot and his son Sebastian
sailed in May, 1497, discovered Labrador coast June 24, 1497, subsequently
sailed along the coast of the mainland and claimed for England the territory
from the Gulf of Mexico to the north to an indefinite extent.
The colonies, as to their forms of government, may be considered under
three classes :
1. Provixcial or Royal. Under this form of government the governor
and council were appointed by the king to rule under his instructions. The
governor had power to establish courts, raise mi.itary forces, and to call
legislative assemblies of freeholders and others, which he could at any time
dissolve, and the proceedings of which he could negative. All local laws
passed by these assemblies, to be in force, required the approval of the king.
New Hampshire, Xew York, New Jersey, Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Georgia were colonies of this class.
2. Proprietary. Under this form certain inividuals held from the king
the right as proprietaries of the colonies, which thej' held as if the colonies
were feudal principalities. They held the same authority as the king in the
provincial colonies. Lord Baltimore was proprietary of Maryland, and Wil-
liam Penn of Pennsylvania and Delaware. The Carolinas and New Jersey
were originally proprietary colonies.
3. Charter. Under this form, the powers and rights were vested by a
3harter from the king. At the time of the Revolution the only charter colo-
aies were Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.

18 HISTORICAL ITEMS.
The colonies were liolitically distinct, but circumstances often required a
unity of action. The earliest instance of importance occurred in 1643, when
the colonies of Connecticut, New Haven, Massachusetts, and Plymouth formed
an alliance for protection against the Indians and Dutch, under the name
of " The United Colonies of Xew England."
A convention met at Albany June 19, 1754, composed of twenty-five com-
missioners from colonies as follows: New Hampshire, 4; Massachusetts, 5;
Connecticut, 3; Rhode Island, 2; New York, 5; Pennsylvania, 4, and Mary-
land, 2. Virginia and New Jersey although invited sent no delegates. Their
principal object was to deliberate upon the best means for defence in view
of the impending war with France. At the suggestion of the commissioners
from Massachusetts, a plan of confederation was proposed. A draft, mostly
written by Franklin, was drawn up, which was submitted to parliament and
tbe colonies. It was rejected by all the colonies, and met with no approval
in England. The convention adjourned July 11, 1754.
A convention assembled at New York, October 7, 1765, represented as fol-
lows : Massachusetts, 3 ; Rhode Island, 2 ; Connecticut, 3 ; New York, 5 ; New
Jersey, 3; Pennsylvania, 3 ; Delaware, 2; Maryland, 3; South Carolina, 3. They
published a declaration of rights, and adjourned October 24.
The first definite suggestion for a continental congress was made May 17,
1774, by a town meeting in Providence, R. I. The hovise of representatives
of Massachusetts passed a similar suggestion, June 17. Delegates were ap-
pointed in twelve colonies, and the first continental congress was organized
at Philadelphia, September 5, 1774.
DECLARATION OF RIGHTS.
In Congress, October 14, 1774.
Whereas, since the close of the last war, the British parliament, claiming
a power of right to bind the people of xlmerica by statutes in all cases
whatsoever, hath, in some acts, expressly imposed taxes on them, and in
others, under various pretences, but in fact for the purj^ose of raising rev-
enue, hath imposed rates and duties payable in these colonies, established a
board of commissioners with unconstitutional powers, and extended the
jurisdiction of courts of admiralty, not only for collecting said duties, but
for the trial of causes merely arising within the body of a county ; and
Whereas, in consequence of other statutes, judges, who before held only
estates at will in their offices, have been made dependent on the crown alone
for their salaries, and standing armies kept in time of peace ; and
Whereas, it has lately been resolved in parliament, that by force of a
statute made in the thirty-fifth year of the reign of King Henry the Eighth,
colonists may be transported to England, and tried there upon accusations
tor treasons and misprisions, or concealments of treasons, committed in the
colonies, and, by a late statute, such trials have been directed in cases therein
mentioned; and
DECLARATION OF RIGHTS. 19
Whereas, in the last session of parliament three statutes were made,—
one entitled an " Act to discontinue, in such manner and for such time as
are therein mentioned, the landing and discharging, lading, or shipping of
goods, wares, and merchandise, at the town and within the harbor of Boston,
in the province of Massachusetts Bay, in North America " ; another, entitled
an " Act for the better regulating the government of the province of Mas-
sachusetts Bay, in New England"; and another, entitled an "Act for the
impartial administration of justice in the cases of persons questioned for
any act done by them in the execution of the law, or for the suppression of
riots and tumults, in the province of Massachusetts Bay, in New England " ;
and another statute was then made, "for making more effectual provision
for the government of the province of Quebec, etc. " ; all which statutes
are impolitic, imjust, and cruel, as well as unconstitutional, and most dan-
gerous and destructive of American rights ; and
Whereas, assemblies have been frequently dissolved, contrary to the rights
of the people, when they attempted to deliberate on grievances; and their
dutiful, humble, loyal, and reasonable petitions to the crown for redress
have been repeatedly treated with contempt by his majesty's ministers of
state ;
The good people of the several colonies of New Hampshire, Massachusetts
Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, New Castle, Kent, and Sussex on Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, justly alarmed at these arbi-
trary proceedings of parliament and administration, have severally elected,
constituted, and appointed deputies to meet and sit in general congress in
the city of Philadelphia, in order to obtain such establishment as that their
religion, laws, and liberties may not be subverted. AVhereupon, the depu-
ties so appointed being now assembled, in a full and free representation of
these colonies, taking into their most serious consideration the best means
of attaining the ends aforesaid, do, in the first place, as Englishmen, their
ancestors, in like cases have usually done, for effecting and vindicating their
rights and liberties, declare :
That the inhabitants of the English colonies in North America, by the im-
mutable laws of nature, the principles of the English constitution, and the
several charters or compacts, have the following rights :
Resolved, 1, That they are entitled to life, liberty, and property, and they
have never ceded to any sovereign power whatever a right to dispose of
either without their consent.
Resolved, 2, That our ancestors, who first settled these colonies, were at
the time of their emigration from the mother country entitled to all the
rights, liberties, and immunities of free and natural-born subjects within
the realm of England.
Resolved, 3, That by such emigration they by no means forfeited, surren-
dered, or lost any of those rights, but that they were, and their descendants
now are, entitled to the exercise and enjoyment of all such of them as
their local and other circumstances enable them to exercise and enjoy.
20 HISTORICAL ITEMS.
liesolved, 4, That the foundation of English liberty, and of all free govern-
ment, is a right in the people to participate in their legislative council ; and
as the English colonists are not represented, and from their local and other
circumstances cannot properly be represented, in the British parliament, they
are entitled to a free and exclusive power of legislation in their several
provincial legislatures, where the right of representation can alone be pre-
served, in all cases of taxation and internal polity, subject only to the nega-
tive of their sovereign, in svich manner as has heretofore been used and
accustomed. But, from the necessity of the case, and a regard to the mutual
interest of both countries, we cheerfully consent to the operation of such
acts of the British parliament as are bona fide, restrained to the I'egulation.
of our external commerce, for the purpose of securing the commercial ad-
vantages of the whole empire to the mother country, and the commercial
benefits of its respective members ; excluding every idea of taxation, internal
or external, for raising a revenue on the subjects in America withoiit their
consent.
Besolved, 5, That the respective colonies are entitled to the common law
of England, and more especially to the great and inestimable privilege of
being tried by their peers of the vicinage, according to the course of that law.
liesolved, G, That they are entitled to the benefit of such of the English
statutes as existed at the time of their colonization, and which they have,
by experience, respectively found to be applicable to their several local and
other circumstances.
Bcsolved, 7, That these, his majesty's colonies, are likewise entitled to all
the immunities and privileges granted and confirmed to them by royal char-
ters, or secured by their several codes of provincial laws.
licsolved, 8, That they have a right peaceably to assemble, consicier their
grievances, and petition the king; and that all prosecutions, prohibitory
proclamations, and commitments for the same, are illegal.
Resolved, 9, That the keeping a standing army in these colonies in times
of peace, without the consent of the legislature of that colony in which such
army is kept, is against law.
Resolved, 10, It is indisiiensably necessary to good government, and ren-
dered essential by the English constitution, that the constituent branches
of the legislature be independent of each other ; that, therefore, the exercise
of legislative power in several colonies, by a council appointed during the
pleasure of the crown, is unconstitutional, dangerous, and destructive to the
freedom of ^American legislation.
All and each of which the aforesaid deputies, in behalf of themselves and
their constituents, do claim, demand, and insist on, as their indubitable
rights ands^liberties, which cannot be legally taken from them, altered, or
abridged byjany power whatever, without their own consent, by their rep-
resentativesiinj^their several provincial legislatures.
In the course of our inquiry, we find many infringements and violations
of the foregoing rights, which, from an ardent desire that harmony and
DECLARATION OF RIGHTS. 21
mutual intercourse of affection and interest may be restored, we pass over
for the present, and proceed to state ^uch acts and measures as have been
adopted since the last war which demonstrate a system formed to enslave
America.
Resolved, That the following acts of parliament are infringements and vio-
lations of the rights of the colonists, and that the repeal of them is essentially
necessary in order to restore harmony between Great Britain and the Ameri-
can colonies, viz. :
The several acts of 4 George III., chapter 15 and chapter 34; 5 George III.,
chapter 25; 6 George III., chapter 52; 7 George III., chapter 41 and chapter %6;
8 George III., chapter 22, which impose duties for the purpose of raising a
revenue in America, extend the power of the admiralty courts beyond their
ancient limits, deprive the American subject of trial by jury, authorize the
judges' certificates to indemnify the prosecutor from damages that he might
otherwise be liable to, requiring oppressive security from a claimant of ships
and goods seized before he shaU be allowed to defend his property, are sub-
versive of American rights.
Also 12 George III., chapter 24, entitled an " Act for the better securing his
majesty's dockyards, magazines, ships, ammunition, and stores," which de-
clares a new offence in America, and deprives the American subject of a con-
stitutional trial by jury of the vicinage, by authorizing the trial of any persons
charged with the committing of any offence described in the said act, out of
the realm, to be indicted and tried for the same in any shire or county within
the realm.
Also the three acts passed in the last session of parliament, for stopping the
port and blocking up the harbor of Boston, for altering the charter and gov-
ernment of Massachusetts Bay, and that which is entitled an "Act for the
better administration of justice, " etc.
Also the act, passed in the same session, for establishing the Roman Catho-
lic religion in the province of Quebec, abolishing the equitable system of Eng-
lish laws, and erecting a tyranny there, to the great danger (from so total
dissimilarity of religion, law, and government) of the neighboring British colo-
nies, by the assistance of whose blood and treasure the said country was con "
quered from France.
Also the act, passed in the same session, for the better providing suitable
quarters for officers and soldiers in his majesty's service in Xorth America.
Also, that the keeping a standing army in several of these colonies, in time
of peace, without the consent of the legislature of that colony in which such
army is kept, is against law.
To these grievous acts and measures Americans cannot submit, but in hopes
their fellow subjects in Great Britain will, on a revision of them, restore us to
that state in which both countries found happiness and prosperity, we have
for the present, only resolved to pursue the following peaceable measures :
1. To enter into a non-importation, non-consumption, and non-exportation
agreement or association.

2. To prepare an address to the people of Great Britain, and a memorial to
tlie inhabitants of British America.
3. To prepare a loyal address to his majesty, agreeable to resolutions already
entered into.
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
In Congress, July 4, 1776.
By the Representatives of the United States in Congress Assembled.
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to
dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to
assume among the powers of the earth the separate and eql^al station to which
the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the
opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which im-
pel them to the separation.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal ; that
they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights ; that among
these are life, liberty, amd the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these
rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from
the consent of the governed ; that whenever any form of government becomes
destructive of these ends it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it,
and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles
and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to
effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that govern-
ments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes ;
and, accordingly, all experience hath shown that mankind ai'e more disposed
to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the
forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and
usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce
them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off
such government and to provide new guards for their future security. Such
has been the patient sufferance of these colonies, and such is noM^ the neces.
sity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The
history of the present king of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries
and usurpations, all having, in direct object, the establishment of an absolute
tyranny over these states . To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid
world :
He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the
public good.
He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing im-
portance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be ob-
tained ; and, when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other laAvs for the accommodation of large districts
of people unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. 23
the legislature ; a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at itlaces imiisiial, uncomfortable,
and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of
fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing, with manly
firmness, his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused, for a long time after such dissolutions, to cause others to be
elected ; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have re-
turned to the people at large for their exercise ; the state remaining, in the
mean time, exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without and con-
vulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states ; for that pur-
pose obstructing the laAvs for naturalization of foreigners, refusing to pass
others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new
appropriations of lands.
He has obstructed the administration of justice by refusing his assent to
laws for establishing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on his will alone for the tenure of their of-
fices and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers
to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, without the con-
sent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the
civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our
constitution and unacknowledged by our laws ; giving his assent to their acts
of pretended legislation, —
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us :
For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders
which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states :
For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world :
For imposing taxes on us without our consent :
For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury :
For transporting ixs beyond seas to be tried for pretended offences :
For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province,
establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries,
so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the
same absolute rule into these colonics :
For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and alter-
ing, f nndamently, the forms of our governments :
For suspending our own legislatures and declaring themselves invested
with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection,
and waging war against us.
24 HISTORICAL ITEMS.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burut our towns, and de-
stroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to com-
plete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny already begun with circum"
stances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages
and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow citizens, taken captive on the high seas, to
bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends
and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to
bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages, whose
known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and
conditions.
In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the
most humble terms ; our repeated petitions have been answered only by re-
peated injury. A prince whose character is thus marked by every act which
may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have
warned them from time to time of attempts made by their legislature to ex^
tend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the
circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to
their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties
of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably
interrupt our connections and correspondence. They, too, have been deaf to
the voice of justice and consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the
necessity which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest
of mankind, enemies in war, in peace, friends.
We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in
general congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for
the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and by the authority of the
good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare that these united
colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states ; that they
are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political con-
nection between them and the state of Great Britain is, and ought to be,
totally dissolved ; and that as free and independent states, they have full power
to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do
all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And, for
the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of
Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes,
and our sacred honor.
Signed by order and in behalf of congress.

A convention was held at Charlotte, Mecklenburgii county, North Carolina,
May 20, 1775, which announced a declaration of independence severin r tha
people, represented by the convention, from their allegiance to the crown of
Great Britain. Other accounts give May 31 as the date on which the conven-
tion Avas held.
It was not until the early part of the year 1776 that the idea of independence
was seriously entertained throughi iit the colonies. In congress, Friday, June
7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee moved that " these united colonies are, and of right
ought to be, free and independent states .... and that a plan of confedera-
tion be prepared and transmitted to the respective colonies for their consider-
ation and approval." This was adopted June 11. The committee to pjepare
the declaration of independence were : Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Ben-
jamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Robert B. Livingston. They reported
June 28, and the declaration was adopted unanimously July 4, 1776.
(While the Declaration of Independence was under consideration in the con-
tinental congress, and before it was finally agreed upon, measures were taken
for the establishment of a constitutional form of government ; and on the 11th
of June, 1776, it was " Resolved, that a committee be appointed to propose and
digest t' e form of a confederation to be entered into between the colonies,"
which committee was appointed the next day, June 12th, and consisted of a
member from each colony, namely : Mr. Bartlett, Mr. Adams, Mr. Hopkins,
Mr. Sherman, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Dickinson, Mr. McKean, Mr. Stone, Mr.
Nelson, Mr. Hewes, Mr. Rutledge and Mr. Gwinnett.
On the 12th of July, 1776, the comixittee reported a draft of the articles of
confederation, which was printed for the use of the members under the strict-
est injunctions of secre<:!y.
This report underwent a thorough discussion in congress from time to time
until the 15th of November, 1777, on which day " Articles of Coxfederation
AND Perpetual Union " were finally agreed to in form, and they were
directed to be proposed to the legislatures of all the United States, and if ap-
proved by them they were advised to authorize their delegates to ratify the
same in the congress of the United States, and in that event they were to be-
come conclusive. On the 17th of November, 1777, the Congress agreed upon
the form of a circular letter to accompany the articles of confederation, which
concluded with a recommendation to each of the several legislatures " to invest

its delegates with cotnpetent potvers, ultimately, and in tlie name and behalf of
the state, to subscribe articles of confederation and perpetual union of the
United States, and to attend congress for that purpose on or before the 10th
day of March next." This letter was signed by the president of congress, and
sent with a copy of the articles to each state legislature.
On the 2Gth of June, 1778, congress agreed upon the form of a ratification
of the articles of confederation, and directed a copy of the articles and the
ratification to be engrossed on parchment; Avhich, on the 9th of July, 1778,
having been examined and the blanks filled, was signed by the delega.es of
New Hamijshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and the Providence Plan-
tations, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and South Carolina.
Congress then directed that a circular letter be addressed to the states
whose delegates were not present, or, being present, conceived they were not
authorized to sign the ratification, informing them how many and what states
had ratified the articles of confederation, and desiring them with all con-
venient dispatch to authorize their delegates to ratify the same.
Of these states North Carolina ratified on the 21st and Georgia on the 2-lth of
July, 1778 ; New Jersey on the 26th of November following ; Delaware on the
5th of May, 1779 ; Maryland on the 1st of March, 1781 ; and on the 2d of March,
1781, congress assembled under the new form of government.)
ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION.

ing jurisdiction of his offence.
Full faith and credit shall be given in each of these states to the records,
acts, and judicial proceedings of the courts and magistrates of every other

arise between two or more states concerning boundary, jurisdiction, or any
other cause Avhatever, which authority shall always be exercised in the
manner following : Whenever the legislative or executive authority, or law-
ful agent of any state in controversy with another, shall present a petition
to congress, stating the matter in question and praying for a hearing, notice
thereof shall be given by order of congress to the legislative or executive
authority of the other state in controversy, and a day assigned for the ap-
pearance of the parties by their lawful agents, who shall then be directed

in the determination ; and if either party shall neglect to attend at the day
appointed, without showing reasons which congress shall judge sufficient, or
being present shall refuse to strike, the congress shall proceed to nominate
three persons out of each state, and the secretary of congress shall strike in
behalf of such party absent or refusing; and the judgment and sentence of
the court to be appointed in the manner before prescribed shall be final and
conclusiA-e; and if any of the parties shall refuse to submit to the authority
of such court, or to appear and defend their claim or cause, the court shall,
nevertheless, proceed to pronounce sentence or judgment, which shall in
like manner be filial and decisive, the judgment or sentence and other pro-
ceedings being in either case transmitted to congress, and lodged among
the acts of congress for the security of the parties concerned; provided,
that every commissioner, before he sits in judgment, shall take an oath, to be
administered by one of the judges of the supreme or superior court of the
state where the cause shall be tried, " well and truly to hear and determine
the matter in question, according to the best of his judgment, without fa-
vor, affection, or hope of reward"; provided, also, that no state shall be de-
prived of territory for the benefit of the Ignited States.
All controversies concerning the private right of soil claimed under differ-
ent grants of two or more states, whose jurisdictions as they may respect
such lands, and the states which passed such grants, are adjusted, the said
grants, or either of them, being at the same time claimed to have originated
antecedent to such settlement of jurisdiction, shall, on the petition of either

may be in the same manner as is before described for deciding disputes
respecting territorial jurisdiction between different states.

regimental officers, raise the men, and clothe, arm, and eq^ip them in a soldier-
like manner, at the expense of the United States ; and the officers and men so
clothed, armed, and equipped, shall march to the j)lace appointed and within
the time agreed on by the United States, in congress assembled. But if the
United States, in congress assembled, shall, on consideration of circum-
stances, judge proper that any state should not raise men, or should raise a
smaller number than its quota, and that any other state should raise a greater
number of men than the quota thereof, such extra number shall be raised,
officered, clothed,'"armed, and equipped in the same manner as the quota of
such state, unless the legislature of such state shall judge that such extra
number cannot be safely spared out of the same, in which case they shall raise,
officer, clothe, arm, and equip as many of such extra number as they judge can
be safely spared. And the officers and men so clothed, armed, and equipped,
shall march to the place appointed and within the time agreed on by the
United States, in congress assembled.

The seat of government was established first at Philadelphia, Penn., com-
mencing Sept. 5, 1774, and May 10, 1775; at Baltimore, Md., Dec. 20, 1776; at
Philadelphia, Penn., March 4, 1777; at Lancaster, Penn., Sept. 27, 1777; at
York, Penn., Sept. 30, 1777; at Philadelphia, Penn., July 2, 1778; at Princeton,
N. J., June 30, 1783; at Annapolis, Md., Nov. 26, 1783; at Trenton, N. J., Nov.
1, 1784; and at New York City, Jan. 11, 1785.
On the 4tli of March, 1789, the present constitution, which had been adopted
by a convention and ratified by the requisite number of states, went into
operation. The several state legislatures ratified this instrument at the fol-
lowing dates :
Delaware, Dec. 7, 1787; Pennsylvania, Dec. 12, 1787; New Jersey, Dec. 18,
1787; Georgia, Jan. 2, 1788; Connecticut, Jan. 9,1788; Massachusetts, Feb. 6,
1788; Maryland, April 28, 1788 ; South Carolina, May 23, 1788 ; New Hampshire,
June 21, 1788; Virginia, June 26, 1788; New York, July 26, 1788; North Caro-
lina, Nov. 21, 1789 ; Rhode Island, May 29, 1790.
The privilege of becoming members of the union by ratifying the constitu-
tion was confined to those states that were parties to the confederation by
which the constitution had been framed. The constitution was adopted by
the convention, September 17, 1787. It required that nine states shoidd ratify
it before its provisions could go into effect. Congress, on the 13th of Sep-
tember, 1788, determined that as a sufficient number of the states had rati-
fied it — eleven having done so — it should become operative on the first
Wednesday (the 4th) of March, 1789. North Carolina and Rhode Island had not
yet sanctioned it ; but as soon as they acceded to its provisions, they were
admitted to its privileges.

CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. 47
DATE OF RATIFICATION.
The constitution was adopted by the convention, on the 17th of September,
1787, appointed in pursuance of the resolution of the congress of the confeder-
ation of the 21st of February, 1787, and ratified by the conventions of the
several states, as follows :
Delaware, December 7, 1787, unanimously.
Pennsylvania, December 12, 1787, by a vote of 46 to 23.
New Jersey, December 18, 1787, unanimously.
Georgia, January 2, 1788, unanimously.
Connecticut, January 9, 1788, by a vote of 128 to 40.
Massachusetts, February 6, 1788, by a vote of 187 to 168.
Maryland, April 28, 1788, by a vote of 63 to 12.
South Carolina, May 23, 1788, by a vote of 149 to 73.
New Hampshire, June 21, 1788, by a vote of 57 to 47.
Virginia, June 25, 1788, by a vote of 89 to 79.
New York, July 26, 1788, by a vote of 30 to 25.
North Carolina, November 21, 1789, by a vote of 193 to 75.
Rhode Island, May 29, 1790, by a majority of 2.
Vermont, January 10, 1791, by a vote of 105 to 4.
Declared ratified by resolution of the old congress, September 13, 1788.
The adoption of the constitution was opposed by many who believed that
the extensive powers granted by it to congress and the executive would be
dangerous to the liberties of the people. It was, however, finally adopted,
chiefly through the exertions and writings of James Madison, John Jay, and
Alexander Hamilton. Virginia ratified the constitution with the declaration
that she was at liberty to withdraw from the union whenever its powers were
used for oppression ; and New York, after Hamilton had declared that no
state should ever be coerced by an armed force. There were two great par-
ties, the federalists, in favor of a strong, centralized government, and the
anti-federalists, supporters of state's rights. "Washington and Adams, feder-
alist leaders, were elected, and the government was organized with Thomas
Jefferson, secretary of state ; Alexander Hamilton, secretary of the treasury;
Henry Knox, secretary of war ; and John Jay, chief justice of the supreme
court.

From the organization of the senate, March 4, 1789, until the December ses-
sion in 1795, the sessions were with closed doors, except during the discussion
in February, 1795, of the right of Albert Gallatin to a seat, when it was insisted
that he was an alien and ineligible. When considering treaties and nomina-
tions the sessions are with closed doors.
The vice-president is president of the senate ; during his absence, or while
exercising the office of president, the president pro tempore presides.

HISTORICAL NOTES.
1. Discovery of America by Xorthmen. Herjulf was one of those who
accompanied Eric to Greenland. Bjarni, son of Herjulf, on his return from a
trading voj'age to Xorway' in 985, hearing that his father had gone to Green-
land, determined to join him there, instead of proceeding to Ireland. Ky
contrary winds he was driven out of his course, and he saw an unknown coun-
try, the shores of Xew England. He did not land, but the narrative of his
voyage, on his arrival in Greenland, caused future expeditions in that direc-
tion. In the year 1000 an expedition sailed under Leif , son of Eric, and landed
in a country which was named Helluland (from HeUa, a flat stone) now Xew-
foundland. Again they set sail, reached a land where they Avent ashore and
named Markland, that is, Woodland, now Xova Scotia. Again they put to sea,
with the wind northeast, and landed next on an island where dew was on the
grass and very sweet to the taste; this is supposed to have been the island
now known as Nantucket. They again embarketl and anchored in a bay and
wintered at the mouth of a river, supposed to have been, as now known,
Mount Hope Bay and Fall River, 3Iass. The country Avas named Yinland
from the abundance of grapes found in the vicinity. The Xorthman called
the country somewhere south of Yinland the White Man's Land, or Great
Ireland, and believed that it was occupied by Irish. A tradition, with a slight
claim to fact, states that the Irish, as early as the Northmen, visited and
colonized the southern part of North America, now known as North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Accounts are given of expeditions to
Great Ireland, previous to, and as late as 1347.
2. Columbus received a patent from Ferdinand and Isabella April 17, 1492 ;
the following were its terms :
First : Their highnesses, as sovereigns of the ocean, constitute Don Christo-
pher Columbus their admiral in all those islands and continents that by his
industry shall be discovered or conquered in the said ocean during his life,,
and after his death to his heirs and successsrs, one by one, forever, with all
the pre-eminences and prerogatives to that office pertaining ; and in the same
manner as Don Alonzo Henriquez, their great admiral of Castile, and his pre-
decessors in said office had enjoyed the same with their districts.
Item: Their highnesses appoint the said Don Christopher Columbus their

viceroy and governor-general of all the islands and continents wliicli (as has
heen said) he shall discover or conquer in the said ocean, and that he choose
three persons for the government of each of them, for each office ; and that
their highnesses take and make choice of one ol them, as shall be most for
their service, and so the lands will be the better governed which our Lord
shall permit him to discover, or conquer, for the service of their highnesses.
Item: That all and whatsoever commodities, whether pearls, prrcious
stones, gold, silver, spice, or other thing whatsoever; or merchandise of any-
kind, name, or manner whatever they may be, that shall be bought, exchanged,
found, won, or had within the limits of the said admiralship, their highnesses
from this time grant to the said Don Christopher ; and it is their will that he
have and enjoy the tenth part of it for himself, de(hicting the charges that
shall be made toward the same, so that of what shall remain clear and free
he have and take the tenth part for himself, and dispose of it at his o^vn will,
the other nine parts remaining for their majesties.
Item : In case that on account of the said merchandise which he shall
bring from the said islands, or lands, which shall (as has been said) be dis-
covered, or conquered, or of those that shall be taken in exchange of them of
other merchants, any lawsuit should happen to arise in the place where the
said commerce and trade sliall be made and carried on, if by reason of his said
office of admiral it shall belong to him to take cognizance of such controversy,
it may please their highnesses that he or his deputy, and no other judge,
shall try the said cause, if it appertains to the said office of admiral as the
same has been enjoyed by the admiral Don Alonzo Henriquez, or his predeces-
sors in their districts, and according to jvistice.
Item, : That all ships which shall be fitted out for the said trade and com-
merce, whensoever and as often as they shall be fitted, shall be liable to the
said Don Christopher Columbus, if he shall think fit to lay out the eighth part
of what shall be expended in fitting them out, and that he accordingly have
and receive the eighth part of the profits of such ships.
3. Grant of America to Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain was made by a
bull of Pope Alexander YI, May 3, 1493. By bulls of May 3 and September 25,
Pope Alexander VI established a line of demarkation dividing the heathen
world between Spain and Portugal. The imaginary line was from pole to pole
370 miles west of the Azores. He gave unlimited sway to the Portuguese over
all countries they might discover east of this line, and to the Spaniards all
discoveries they might make west thereof. This was modified by a capitula-
cion, June 7, 1494, between the pope, Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, and
John II, of Portugal. At the time of these grants the newly discovered world
was supi)Osed to be the eastern coast of India.
4. Cabot s Patents.— A patent was granted by Henry VII. of England, March
5, 1496, to John Cabot and his three sons, Lewis, Sebastian, and Sanctius, their
heirs or deputies, to " sail to all parts, countries, and seas of the east, of the
west, and of the north, under our banners and ensigns, with five ships of what
burthen and quantity soever they be, and so many mariners or men as they

will have with them in the said ships, upon their own proper costs and charges
to seek out, discover, and find whatsoever isles, countries, regions, or provinces
of the heathen and infidels, whatsoever they be, and in what part of the world
soever they be, which before this time have been unknown to all Christians,"
to take ijossession in the name of the king of England, and as his vassals to
conquer, possess, and occupy; enjoying for themselves, their heirs and assigns
forever, the sole right of trading thither, paying the king in lieu of all customs
and impositions, a fifth of all net profits.
A second patent was granted, February 3, 1498, by which John Kabotto was
authorized to impress six English ships, " and them convey and lede to the
Londe and Isles of late f ounde by the said John in oure name and by our com-
mandemente."
5. Gilbert's Ch.vrtek. — A charter was granted by Queen Elizabeth to Sir
Humphrey Gilbert, June 11, 1578, which empowered him for the following six
years to discover " such remote heathen and barbarous lands, not actually pos-
sessed by any Christian prince or people," and conferred on him the rights of
jurisdiction and exclusive trade over a circuit of 600 miles, to be described
from any spot as a center. At this time Florida was regarded by the English
as the northern boundary of Spanish possessions, and " that the countreys lying
north of Florida God bath reserved the same to be reduced into Christian ci-
A'ility by the English nation."
In March, 1584, Walter Raleigh obtained the patent of Sir Humphrey Gilbert,
with enlarged powers and privileges.
6. YiRGi>TA Companies. — James I. granted letters patent April 10, 1606, to
Sir George Somers, Richard Hakluyt, Edward Maria Wingfield, and others
Avho should be joined with them, which granted to them all the territory on
the Atlantic coast of North America between 34 degrees and 45 degrees north
latitude, and the islands within 100 miles. Two companies were formed. The
first or southern colony of Virginia, known as the Lo>'don CoaiPAisrY, its
council being chiefly citizens of London, had jurisdiction from Cape Fear
to the eastern end of Long Island, from 34 degrees to 41 degrees latitude.
The second or northern colony of Virginia, known as the Plymouth Com-
pany, its council having been appointed from Plymouth, England, and vicinity,
had jurisdiction from about the latitude of Delaware Bay to Halifax, Nova
Scotia, or from 38 degrees to 45 degrees north latitude. From 38 degrees to
41 degrees the country- was under the jurisdiction of both companies, but by
the terms of the charter neither company was to begin a settlement within 100
miles of any spot previously occupied by the other.
7. Nativity of Early Voyagers. — Some were not natives of the country
•of their service. Christopher Columbus was a native of Cogerio, near Genoa,
Italy, born about 1435 ; he set out on a voyage of discovery in the service of
Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, August 3, 1492. John Cabot's birthplace is a
matter of doubt. If not by birth a citizen of Venice, he was by adoption, deni-
zation having been granted him in Venice March 28, 1476, after a residence of
15 years. He sailed in the service of England, May, 1497. Amerigo Vespucci,

1499; in the service of Portugal, from May 10, 1501 ; and returned to the service
of Spain in 1£06. Fernando Magellan, born at Alemtejo, Portugal, in 1470. In
the service of Spain he commanded an expedition which sailed September
20, 1519, which completed the circumnavigation of the globe September 8, 1522,
Jean Yerrazani, a native of Florence, Italy, entered the service of France Jan-
iiary 17, 1524. Cabrillo, a native of Portugal, in the Spanish service, explored
the coast of California. Henry Hudson, a rative of England, entered the ser-
vice of the Dutch East India Company, in IGO:), and discovered the site of New
York. Yitus Behring, a Dane by birth, entered the service of Russia in 1728.
Virginia Company. — A new charter was granted by James I. to the first
or southern colony under the supervision of the " London Company," May 23^
1609. The boundaries of the land thus granted were from 200 miles north to
the same distance south of Old Point Comfort, extending from the Atlantic ta
the Pacific Ocean, and the islands within 100 miles of both coasts.
9. New Netherlands. — The term was first officially applied to the region
in America " between New France and Yirginia, being the sea coasts between
42 degrees and 45 degrees," the monopoly of trade of which was granted by the
States General Octol)er 11, 1014, to a company in Amsterdam, for three years
from January 1, 1615.
10. The Great Patent granted by James I., November 3, 1620, to the Ply-
moiTth Company, formerly known as the second or northern colony of Yir-
ginia, included territory from 40 to 48 degrees latitude.
11. Compact or the Pilgrims signed on board of the Maufloiver in Cape
Cod (Provincetown) harbor, before landing :
" In ye name of God, Amen. We whose names are underwritten, the loyall
sul).iects of our dread soveraigne Lord, King James, by ye grace of God, of

12. Massachusetts Bay. — A company was formed at Dorchester, England,
in 1623, the Rev. John White, minister of that place, the principal mover. A
colony attempted at Cape Ann was unsuccessful. A patent was procured from
the Plymouth Company, March 19, 1628, Sir Henry Roswell, Sir John Young,
Thomas Southcote, John Humphrey, John Endicott, and Simon Whitcomb, pa-
tentees, grinting that tract of country from three miles south of the Charles
River, to three miles north of the Merrimac, and from the Atlantic to the Pa-
cific Ocean.
13. Order of Patroons was founded by the Charter of Privileges and Ex-
emptions issued by the Dutch West India Company's College of Nineteen,
June 7, 1629. Any member of that company who should purchase of the In-
dians and found, in any part of New Netherlands except Manhattan and Fort
Orange, a colony of 50 person:* over 15 years of age, should be the feudal lord
or patroon of the territory. His rule in all respects was to be as absolute as
any baron of the Middle Ages.
14. Plymouth Charter was granted to AVilliam Bradford and his associates
by the Plymouth Company, January 13, 1630, for territory with its eastern
boundary the Atlantic Ocean, and from Cohasset river to Narragansett river ;
its western boundary a line drawn from the mouths of these rivers and meet-
ing at the uttermost limits of a country called Pocanoket (or Mount Hope, four
miles from Troy, near Fall River, Mass.), in the southeastern part of Massachu-
setts. This patent also approved the grant on the Kennebec river, defining it
to be fifteen miles on each bank thereof.
15. Warwick's Grakt. — A grant of lands, a part of Connecticut, was made
to the Earl of Warwick in 1630. This was transferred to Lord Saybrooke and
others March 19, 1631, and defined as that tract of New England extending
westward from Narragansett river, one hundred and twenty miles along the
coast, west to the Pacific Ocean.
16. Uxited Colckies of New Englaxd, formed by convention May 19,
1643, and embracing Massachusetts, New Plymouth, Connecticut and New
Haven. The confederation was formed principally for defence against the In-
dians, and they entered " into a firm and perpetual league of friendship and
amity, for offence and defence, mutual advice and succor upon all just occa-
sions, both for preserving and propagating the truth and liberties of the
gospel, and for their own mutual safety and welfare."

belong to the English and west of it to the Dutch. On the land north of the
Sound the dividing line was to extend from the west side of Greenwich Bay^
about four miles from Stamford, thence inland twenty miles, not to come
within ten miles of the Hudson, and the Dutch were not to build within six
miles of the line.
18. Navigation Acts, 16(50 a:nx> 166.3. — That of 1660 ordained that no com-
modities should be imported into any British settlement in Asia, Africa, or
America, or exported from thence, but in vessels built in England or her colo-
nial plantations and navigated by crews of which the masters and three
fourths of the mariners should be English subjects, under the penalty of for
feiture of ship and cargo; that none but natural born subjects of the English
crown, or persons legally naturalized, should exercise the occupation of mer-
chant, or factor, in any English colonial settlement, under the penalty of for-
feiture of goods and chattels ; that no sugar, tobacco, cotton, wool, indigo,
ginger, or woods used in dyeing, produced or manufactured in the colonies,
should be shipped from them to any other country than England ; and to se-
cure the observance of this regulation, ship owners were required at the port
of lading to give bonds with surety for sums apportioned to the tonnage
of their vessels.
That of 1663 in addition prohibited the importation of European commodi_
ties into the colonies, except in vessels laden in England and navigated and
manned in conformity with the requisitio is of the original statute.
19. Carolina Charter, granted March 24, 1663, by Charles II. to the Earl of
Clarendon ; George Monk, the Duke of Albemarle ; Earl of Craven ; Lord
Berkeley ; Lord Ashley ; Sir George Carteret ; Sir John Colleton ; and Sir Wil-
liam Berkeley. The grant extended from 30 degrees to 36 degrees north lati-
tude, or from St. John's river in Florida to nearly the present southern line of
Virginia and from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean.
A second charter was granted June 30, 1665, which extended the boundaries
a degree southward and half a degree northward. The territory then covered
by the grants extended from 20 degrees to sayo degrees north latitude, and from
the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean ; or the present states of North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, and the northern part of Florida, and all extending
westward thereof to the Pacific Ocean.
20. Charter of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, granted July
8, 1663, by Charles II., confirmed the rights of former charters and included
with other provisions that " no person within the said colony, at any time
hereafter, shall be any wise molested, punished, disquieted or called in ques'
tion for any differences in opinion in matters of religion that do not actually
disturb the civil peace of our said colony ; but that all and every person and
persons may from time to time, and at all times hereafter, freely and fully have
and enjoy his and their own judgments and consciences in matters of religious
concernments throughout the tract of land hereinafter mentioned, they behav-
ing themselves peaceably and quietly, and not using this liberty to licentious-
ness and profanenoss, nor to the injury or ovitward disturbance of others.'"

21. Charter of :Nkw York was granted by Charles II. to his brother, the
Duke of York, March 12, 1664, and included a portion of the Province of Maine.
That for Xew York was defined as the country from the east side of the Con-
necticut river to the east side of Delaware Bay, and included Martha's Vine-
yard, Xantucket, all of Long Island, and all the territory of New Neth-
erlands.
A new charter was granted June 29, 167-1, that of 1664 having been extin-
guished by conquest by a foreign power in 167.3, and its cession to the crown by
treaty of AVestminster in 1674.
22. Charter of New Jersey was g-anted by the Duke of York to Lord
Berkeley and Sir George Carteret June 24, 1664. The territory defined as this
grant extended from the Hudson to the Delaware, and from latitude 41%
degrees to Cape May.
23. QuiNTiPARTiTE Deed. — The preceding note explains that New Jersey
was granted by the Duke of York. His title to New York was extinguished
bv Dutch conquest. Lord Berkeley transferred his undivided half, March 18,
1674, to John Fenwicke in trust for Edward Byllinge. A new grant was made
by the duke August 8, 1674, to Sir George Carteret, of the northeastern part of
New Jersey. In time a quarrel sprang up between Fenwicke and Byllinge re-
garding their respvctive rights. Both were Quakers, and the dispute was
referred to William Penn, whose decision was satisfactory to both. Fenwicke
set sail for America, but Byllinge, greatly in debt, was obliged to transfer a
greater portion of his rights to his creditors, which were transferred to Penn,
Laurie, and Lucas. This made matters complicated, and a Jlivisiou became
necessary. On the 1st of July, 1676, a de-^d was signed by Sir George Carteret
on the one side, and William Penn, Gawen Laurie, Nicholas Lucas, and Edward
Byllinge on the other, Avhich divided New Jersey into two portions.
East New Jersey included all northeast of a line drawn from Little Egg
Harbor to a point on the most northern branch of the Delaware river at latitude
41% degrees. This became the portion of Sir George Carteret.
AVest New Jersey included the terril;ory originally granted by the duke
southwest of the above described line, and was by the deed recognized as the
purchase of the Quaker (Friend) associates.
24. Charter of Pexxsylvaxia, granted to William Penn, his heirs and
assigns, March 4, 1681, by Charles II. The grant was made in consideration of
two beaver skins annually, and a fifth part of all the gold and silver that
might be mined. The territory was defined as including three degrees of
latitude, and five of longitude; bounded on the east by the river Delaware ;
extending westward five degrees of longitude ; stretching to the north from
twelve miles northward of Newcastle, Del., to 43 degrees latitude ; limited on
the south by a circle of tw^elve miles drawn around Newcastle to the begni-
nmg of 40 degrees latitude.

were assembled at Carpenter's Hall, I'hiladelphia, who had been chosen by
the several colonies in what now constitutes the United States, to hold a con-
gress for the purpose of discussing certain grievances imputed to the mother
country. This congress resolved that each colony should have one vote only.
On Tuesday, July 2, 177G, the congress resolved: " That these united colonies
are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states," etc. ; and on Thurs-
daj', July 4, the whole declaration of inde])endence having been agreed upon
was publicly read to the people. (!)n September 9 it was resolved that the
words " United Colonies " should no longer be used, and that " United States "
should thenceforward be the style and title of the union. On Saturday, No-
vember 15, 1777, "Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union of the United
States of America " were agreed to by the state delegates, subject to the rati-
fication of the several state legislatures. Eight of t:ie states ratified these
articles July 9, 1778 ; one, July 21 ; one, July 24 ; one, November 26 ; one, Febru-
ary 22, 1779; and the last one, March 1, 1781.
25. Charter of Georgia, granted by George II, June 9, 1732, to twenty-
one noblemen and gentlemen ; amoiig whom were Anthony, Earl of Shaftes-
bury; John, Lord I'ercival; John, Lord Tyrconnel; .James, Lord Limerick;
George, Lord Carpenter; James Edward Oglethorpe, and Stepem Hales ; the
grant included territory formerly in the gi'ant of Carolina, and of the present
state of Georgia from the Savannah to the Altamaha river.
26. Bou^'TY FOR Scalps.— During the French and Indian war, in 1754, the
French offered a bounty for British scalps. In the same year a bovmty of £100
was offered by tiie colonies for Indian scalps. In 1755 Massachusetts granted
a bounty of £3 to every soldier who would enlist and find his own giin ; also a
bounty of £40 for every scalp of a male over 12 years old, and £20 for every
woman's and child's seal}). In July, 1764, John Penn, the grandson of William
Penn, and governor of Pennsylvania, proclaimed that for every male Indian
above the age of ten who was captured, a bounty of $150 should be paid ; for
every male killed and scalped, .'?lo4; for every one thus served vmder ten, $1.30;
for every female killed and scalped, $50.
27. Regulators. — The name of an association formed in North Carolina,
April 4, 1767. They entered into a compact to pay no taxes till all exorbitant
fees were abolished and official embezzlement ;punished and prevented. The
agitation was increased from time to time by the levying of taxes for unneces-
sary purposes, and the acts of officials. In 1771 they assembled to the number
of two thousand and declared their determination to revolutionize the govern-
ment. They were defeated, J\lay 16, 1771, and in June of that year six were
executed for treason.
28. Green Mountain Boys.— By the grant of Charles II. to his brother
James, the Duke of York, in the year 1664, the tract called New York was
defined as bounded on the east by the Connecticut river; while the charters of
Massachusetts and Connecticut gave those provinces an extent westward to
the Pacific ocean. When toward the middle of the eighteenth century settle-
HISTORICAL NOTES. 73
meiits began to be made westward of the Connecticut river disputes arose,
and the line between Connecticut and New York was finally drawn, by mutual
consent, twenty miles east oE the Hudson. Massachusetts claimed a continua-
tion of this line as her western boundary; but New York denied the claim.
Governor Fletcher in 1G9C made grants in the present state of Vermont. New
Hampshire, lying north, was not disturbed by these disputes. When Benning
AVentworth Avas made governor of New Hampshire he was authorized to issue
patents for unimproved lands. In 1749 applications were made for grants
beyond the Green mountains. He presumed that New Hampshire extended
as far west as Connecticut, and gave a patent for a township six miles square,
having its western line twenty miles east of the Hudson; and in his honor it
was named Bennington. The governor and council of New York remonstrated
against the grant, yet Wentworth continued to issue patents^ so that in 1754,
fourteen townships were laid out, and settlements commenced. These settle-
ments were distinguished as "The New Hampshire grants," and in time
extended and were subsequently called Vermont. In 1763, at the close of the
war, 138 townships were surveyed. The controversy between New York and
the grants became so violent that military organizations were formed in Ver-
mont to resist the civil power of New York, and in 1772 its members were
called the Green Mountain Boys. Having paid for the grants to New Hamp-
shire, they objected to pay for them a second time. In 1774 New York passed
an order that settlers who refused to surrender should suffer death. The con-
test continued ; the governor offered a reward of £150 for Allen and £50 for
Warner. A proclamation was made by the Green Mountain Boys, April 26,
1774, in which the New Y'ork authorities were defied. The revolutionary war
caused the contest to be discontinued.
29. Declabatiox of Indepexdence at Charlotte, Mecklenburg county,
North Carolina.— The elected committeemen of the county were notified to
assemble in the court-house at Charlotte, which they accordingly did toward
the close of May, 1775; the precise day is not known. A committee was
appointed to prepare resolutions, which were adopted unanimously, viz. :
Whereas, by an address presented to his majesty by both houses of parlia-
ment, in February last, the ^Vmerican colonies are declared to be in a state of
actual rebellion, we conceive that all laws and commissions confirmed by or
derived from the authority of the king and parliament are annulled and
vacated, and the former civil constitution of these colonies for the present
wholly suspended. To provide in some degree for the exigencies of this
county in the present alarming period, we deem it proper and necessary, to
pass the following resolves, viz. :
1. That all commissions, civil and military, heretofore granted by the
crown to be exercised in these colonies, are null and void, and the constitu-
tion of each particular colony wholly suspended.
2. That the provincial congress of each province, under the direction of the
great continental congress, is invested with all legislative and executive
powers within their respective provinces, and that no other legislative or
executive power does or can exist at this time in any of these colonies.

3. As all former laws are now suspended in this province, and the congress
has not yet provided others, we judge it necessary for the better preservation
of good order, to form certain rules and regulations for the internal govern-
ment of this county until laws shall be provided for us by the congress.
4. That the inhabitants of this county do meet on a certain day appointed
by the committee, and, having formed themselves into nine companies (to wit,

military officers, who shall hold and exercise their several powers by virtue of
the choice, and independent of the crown of Great Britain and former con-
stitution of this province.
5. That for the better preservation of the peace and administration of
justice, each of these companies do choose from their own body two discreet
freeholders, who shall be empowered, each by himself, and singly, to decide
and determine all matters of controversy arising within said company, under
the sum of twenty shillings, and jointly and together all controversies under
the sum of forty shillings, yet so as their decisions may admit of appeal to the
convention of the selectmen of the county, and also that any one of these
men shall have power to examine and commit to confinement persons accused
of petty larceny.
6. That those two selectmen thus chosen do jointly and together choose
from the body of their particular company two persons to act as constables,
who may assist them in the execution of their office.
7. That upon the complaint of any persons to either of these selectmen, he
do issue his warrant directed to the constable, commanding him to bring the

Thursday in January, April, July, and October, at the court-house in Char-
lotte, to hear and determine all matters of controversy for sums exceeding
forty shillings, also appeals ; and in case of felony to commit the persons con-
victed thereof to close confinement until the provincial congress shall provide
and establish laws and modes of proceeding in all such cases.
9. That these eighteen selectmen thus convened do choose a clerk to record
the transactions of said convention, and that said clerk, upon the application
of any person or persons aggrieved, do issue his warrant to any of the con-
stables of the company to which the offender belongs, directing said constable
to summon and warn said offender to appear before said convention at their
next sitting, to answer the aforesaid complaint.
10. That any person making complaint, upon oatb, to the clerk or any mem-
ber of the convention, that he has reason to suspect that any person or persons
indebted to him in a sum above forty shillings intend clandestinely to with-
draw from the county without paying the debt, the clerk or such member shall
issue his warrant to the constable, coumianding him to take said person or
persons into safe custody until the next sitting of the convention.
11. That when a debtor for a sum above forty shillings shall abscond and
leave the county, the warrant granted as aforesaid shall extend to any goods

or chattels of said debtor as may be found, and sucli goods or chattels he
seized and held in custody hy the constable for the space of thirty days, in
which time, if the debtor fail to return and discharge the debt, the constable
shall return the warrant to one of the selectmen of the company, when the
goods are found, who shall issue orders to the constable to sell such a part of
s id goods as shall amount to the sum due.
That when the debt exceeds forty shillings, the return shall be made to the
convention, who shall issue orders for sale.
12. That all receivers and collectors of quit-rents, public and county taxes,
do pay the same into the hands of the chairman of this committee, to be by

considered equally criminal, and liable to the same punishment as the oft'end-
ers ahove last mentioned.

These resolutions were transmitted to the Xorth Carolina delegates in the

30. Shays' Rebellion in Massachusetts in 1786 and 1787. The insurrection
commenced before Shays became prominent ; he afterwards was chosen leader
The principal complaints of the insurgents were that the governor's salary
was too high, the senate aristocratic, the lawyers extortionate, and taxes too
heavy; the issue of paper money, and the removal of the general court to
Boston were demanded.
31. Berlin Decree. — The following is a copy :
Imperial Camp, Berlin, November 21, 1806.
Napoleon, Emperor oj: the French and King of Italy, considering:
1. That England does not admit the rights of nations as universally acknowl-
edged by all civilized people ;
2. That she declares as an enemy every individual belonging to an enemy
state, and, in consequence, makes prisoners of war not only of the crews of
armed vessels, but those also of merchant vessels, and even'the supercargoes
of the same;
3. That she extends or applies to merchant vessels, to articles of commerce,
and to the property of individuals the right of conquest, which can only be
applied or extended to what belongs to an enemy state ;
4. That she extends to ports not fortified, to harbors and mouths of rivers,
the right of blockade, which, according to reason and the usages of civilized
nations, is applicable only to strong or fortified ports ;
5. That she declares places blockaded before which she has not a single ves-
sel of war, although a place ought not to be considered blockaded but when it
is so invested that no approach to it can be made without imminent hazard;
that she declares even places blockaded which her united forces would be in-
capable of doing, such as entire coasts and a whole empire ;
6. That this unequal abuse of the right of blockade has no other object than
to interrupt the communication of different nations, and to extend the com-
merce and industry of England upon the ruin of those of the continent;
7. Tl\at this being the evident design of England, whoever deals on the con-
tinent in English merchandise favors that design, and becomes an accom-
plice.
8. That this conduct in England (worthy only of the first stages of barbar-
ism), has benefited her to the detriment of other nations ;
9. That it being right to oppose to an enemy the same arms she makes use
of, to combat as she does when all ideas of justice and every liberal sentiment
(the result of civilization among men) are disregarded ;
We have resolved to enforce against England the usages which she has con-
secrated in her maritime code.
The present decree shall be considered the law of the etnpire until England
HISTORICAL NOTES. 77
shall acknowledge that tlie rights of war are the same on land as at sea ; that
they cannot he extended to any private property whatever, nor to persons who
are not military, and until the right of blockading be restrained to fortified
places actually invested by competent forces.
Akticle 1. The British Islands are in a state of blockade.
Art. 2. All commerce and correspondence with them is prohibited; conse-
quently, all letters and packets written in England, or to an Englishman, writ-
ten in the English language, shall not be dispatched from the post-otlices, and
shall be seized.
Art. 3. Every individual, a subject of Great Britain, of whatever rank or
condition, who is found in countries occupied by our troops or those of our
allies, shall be made prisoners of war.
Art. 4. Every warehouse, all merchandise or property whatever belonging
to an Englishman, are declared good prize.
Art. 5. One half of the proceeds of merchandise declared to be good prize
and forfeited, as in the preceding articles, shall go to indemnify merchants
who have suffered losses by the English cruisers.
Art. 6. Xo vessel coming directly from England or her colonies, or having
been there since the publication of this decree, shall be admitted into any
port.
Art. 7. Every vessel that by a false declaration contravenes the foregoing
disposition shall be seized, and the ship and cargo confiscated as English
property.
Art. 8. (Provides for councils of prizes.)
Art. 9. Communications of this decree shall be made to the kings of Spain,
Naples, Holland, Etruria, and to our other allies whose subjects as well as ours
are victims of the injuries and barbarity of the English maritime code.
Art. 10. Our ministers of foreign relations, etc., are charged with the exe-
cution of the present decree. NAPOLEON.
32. British Orders in Council of January 7, and November 17, 1807.
These orders were of great length, and capable of different interpretations.
All ports in Europe from which the British fiag was excluded were declared
blockaded, and trade therewith prohibited ; and the right was claimed to seize
and search all vessels bound for such ports. The principal interpretations of
the orders as relating to the LTnited States were as follows : All trade directly
from the United States to any port or country of Europe at war with Great
Britain, or from which the British fiag was excluded, was totally prohibited.
In the general prohibition, all parts of Europe were included, with the excep-
tion of Sardinia, and no distinction whatever was made between the domestic
produce of the United States and that of tl^e colonies re-exported from
thence.
The trade of the United States to the colonies of all nations remained unal-
tered by the last orders. The LTnited States might export the produce of her
own country, but that of no other, directly to Sweden.
With the above exceptions, all articles, whether of domestic or colonial pro-
"8 HISTORICAL ITEMS.
duce, exported by the United States to Europe were required to be landed in
England, from whence it was intended to permit their re-exportation under
such regulations as might thereafter be determined.
By these regulations it was claimed that duties were to be imposed on all
articles so re-exported ; but it was intimated that an exception would be made
inifavor of such as were the produce of the United States, cotton excepted.
Any vessel, the cargo of which should be accompanied with certificates of
Trench consuls abroad of its origin, was declared, with the cargo, liable to
seizure and confiscation.
33. MiLAx Decree issued by Napoleon, December 17, 1807, extended and
made more vigorous that issued at Berlin, November 21, 1806. It declared
every vessel which should submit to be searched by British cruisers, or should
pay any tax, duty, or license-money to the British government, or should be
found on the high seas, or elsewhere, bound to or from any British port de-
nationalized and forfeit. '
34. Bayonne Decree issued by Napoleon, April 17, 1808, ordered the seiz-
ure and confiscation of all United States vessels in France, or which mio-ht
arrive. *
35. Rambouillet Decree issued by Napoleon, March 23, 1810, declared
that " all American vessels which should enter French ports, or ports occu-
pied by French troops, should be seized and sequestered." The immediate
effect of this decree was the seizure and sale of 132 United States vessels.
36. Florida. — Congress, in secret session, passed acts, January 15 and
March 3, 1811, authorizing the president to take possession of Florida in case
of attempted occupation by any foreign government.
37. Dorr's Rebellion in Rhode Island, in the year 1842. Previous to No-
vember 5, 1842, the Rhode Island government was based on the charter
granted July 8, 1G63. The elective franchise was limited to the holders of a
certain amount of real estate, and to their eldest sons, which included about
one third of the citizens. Thomas Wilson Dorr, during his membership of
the assembly, advocated the adoption of a liberal constitution. His party was
known as the suffrage party, the opposing, as the charter party. The suffrage
party, in 1841, chose Dorr governor ; and on May 3, 1842, they endeavored to es-
tablish their government at Providence. After their defeat at Chepachet,
Dorr fled to Connecticut, and a reward of ,f 4,000 was offered for his apprehen-
sion. He returned, was tried for treason, convicted, and sentenced to state's
prison for life. In 1847 he was pardoned, and in 1853 the legislature restored
all his civil rights. A constitution was adopted by the state November 5
1842, '
38. OSTEND Manifesto. — President Pierce requested Pierre Soule, minis-
ter to Spain, James Buchanan, minister to Great Britain, and John Y. Mason,
minister to France, to hold a conference regarding Cuba. Accordingly they
met at Ostend, Belgium, and afterward adjourned to Aix-la-Chapelle. A
memorandum was drawn up, generally designated the Ostend Manifesto,
HISTORICAL NOTES. 79
whicli was issued October 21, 1854. Tlierein tliey asserted the great importance
of Cuba to the United States ; that great advantages would result to Spain
from its sale; that Spain would meet with great difficulties in attempts to
control it hy mere military power; that the sympathy of the people of the
United States was with the inhabitants of Cuba ; that they, the ministers, be-
lieved the probable future condition of the island imder Spanish rule might
act perniciously on the slave population of the southern states ; and in such
<;ase they held the instinct of self-preservation might call for the armed in-
tervention of the United States, and that we might be justified in wresting
the island by force from Spain.
39. Emancipation PROCLAaiATiON, by President Lincoln. The preliminary
proclamation was made September 22, 1862; and the definite proclamation
January 1, 1863, as follows :
Whereas, on the 22d day of September, in the year of our Lord one thou-
sand eight hundred and sixty-two, a proclamation was issued by the president
of the United States, containing among other things the following, to wit :
" That on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any state or
designated part of a state, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against
the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free ; and the ex-
ecutive government of the United States, including the military and naval
authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons,
and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any
efforts they may make for their actual freedom.
" That the executive will, on the first day of January aforesaid, by proclama-
tion, designate the states and parts of states, if any, in which the people
thereof, respectively, shall then be in rebellion against the United States ; and
the fact that any state, or the people thereof, shall on that day be in good
faith represented in the congress of the United States, by members chosen
thereto at elections wherein a majority of the qualified voters of such state
shall have participated, shall in the absence of strong countervailing testi-
mony, be deemed conclusive evidence that such state, and the people thereof,
are not then in rebellion against the United States."
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, president of the United States, by
virtue of the power in me vested as commander-in-chief of the army and
navy of the United States in time of actual armed rebellion against the au-
thority and government of the United States, and as a fit and necessary war
measure for suppressing said rebellion, do, on this first day of January in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and in accord-
ance with my purpose so to do, publicly proclaimed for the full period of one
hundred days from the day first above mentioned, order and designate, as the
states and parts of states wherein the per pie thereof, respectively, are this
•day in rebellion against the LTnited States, the following, to wit :

Bonne, Lafourche, Ste. Marie, St. Martin, and Orleans, including the city of
New Orleans), Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Xorth
Carolina, and Virginia (except the forty-eight counties designated as West
Virginia, and also the counties of Berkeley, Accomac, Northampton, Elizabeth
City, York, Princess Anne, and Norfolk, ineludii;g the cities of Norfolk and
Portsmouth) and which excepted parts are, for the present, left precisely as if
this proclamation were not issuetl.
And by virtue of the power and for the purpose aforesaid, I do order and
declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated states and parts
of states are and henceforward shall be free ; and that the executive govern-
ment of the L^nited States, including the military and naval authorities
thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons.
And I hereby enjoin upon the people so declared to be free to abstain from
all violence, unless in necessary self defence ; and I recommend to them that,
in all cases when allowed, they labor faithfully for reasonable wages.
And I further declare and make known that such persons, of suitable con-
dition, will be received into the armed service of the United States, to garri-
son forts, positions, stations, and other places, and to man vessels of all sorts
in said service.
And upon this act, sincerely believed to be an act of justice, warranted by the
constitution, upon military necessity, I invoke the considerate judgment of
mankind, and the gracious favor of Almighty God.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my name, and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this first day of Ja.nuary, in the year of our
Lord one thovisand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the independence of
the United States the eighty-seventh.
By the President. ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
William H. Seward, Secretary of State.
40. Lieutenant-General Graxt Avas appointed March 10, 1864, to the chief
command of the armies of the LTnited States. General Halleck was relieved
of that command at his own request, and assigned as chief of staff of the
army. General Sherman was appointed to succeed General Grant in the com-
mand of the military division of the Mississippi, then composed of the de-
partments of the Ohio, Cumberland, Tennessee, and Arkansas.
41. Basis of Agreement between Generals Sherman and Johnston, April
18, 1805 :
1. The contending armies now in the field to maintain the status quo until
notice is given by the commanding general of any one to his opponent, and
reasonable time, say forty-eight hours, allowed.

2. Tlie confederate armies now in existence to be disbanded and condncted
to tbeir seA'eral state capitals, tbere to deposit their arms and public property
in the state arsenal, and each officer and man to execute and file an agreement
to cease from acts of war, and to abide the action of both state and federal
authorities. The nixmber of arms and munitions of war to be reported to the
chief of ordnance at Washington City, subject to the future action of the
congress of the United States, and in the mean time to be used solely to main-
tain peace and order within the borders of the states respectively.
3. The recognition, by the executive of the United States, of the several
state governments, on their officers and legislators taking the oath prescribed
by the constitution of the United States ; and where conflicting state govern-
ments have resulted from the war, the legitimacy of all shall be submitted to
the supreme court of the United States.
4. The re-establishment of the federal courts in the several states, with
powers as defined by the constitution and laws of congress.
5. The people and the inhabitants of all states to be guaranteed, so far as
the executive can, their political rights and franchises, as well as their rights
of person and property, as defined by the constitution of the United States
and of the states respectively.
6. The executive authority or government of the United States not to dis-
turb any of the people by reason of the late war, so long as they live in peace
and quiet, and abstain from acts of armed hostility, and obey the laws in ex-
istence at the place of their residence.
7. In general terms it is announced that the war is to cease; a general am-
nesty, so far as the executive of the United States can command, on condition
of the disbandment of the confederate armies, the distribution of arms, and
the resumption of peaceful pursuits by officers and men hitherto composing
said armies.
IS'ot being fully empowered by our respective principals to fulfill there
terms, we individually and officially pledge ourselves to promptly obtain au-
thority, and will endeavor to carry out the above program.
The above was signed by Sherman and Johnston ; and was drawn up, it is
said, by Breckinridge.

CHINESE IMMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES.
Unrestricted Chinese immigration to the United States prior to 1882 was
attended by so many evils that a:i act to execute certain treaty stipulations
relating to the Chinese was passed by congress and approved May 6, 1882.
It had many defects, however, and failed to reach the end desired. Statis-
tical customs returns mark the arrival of 39,579 Mongolians in 1882, and only
8,021 in 1883 and 4,324 in 1884. As a fact, fully as many entered the country
(evasively) in 1883 as in 1882. New-comers were provided with bogus return
certificates to which they were not legally entitled. Accordingly sufficient
influence was exerted in 1884 to procure some material amendment to the
restriction act which had failed to restrict. In 1885 the customs returns
show only 22 arrivals. The act was passed to exclude Chinese laborers. Those
registered by customs officials in 1885-6-7 were merchants, diplomats and
suites, or travelers permitted to land without certificates. Still the law was
evaded, and subterfuges were employed to secure the entry of laborers and
females intended for servile or immoral purposes. In California, the gate
through which the entrance of this uncongenial foreignism is made, the
query with many citizens was, "How shall the people of the eastern states
be intelligently awakened to the national importance of the Chinese ques-
tion ?"
The Chinese opium and gambling habits, with the institution of slave pros-
titution, are denounced as likely to take root in this country. Antagonism to
Chinese immigration is more energetic in San Francisco than elsewhere for
excellent reasons, and on December 14, 1887, Wong Ah Hung, the Chinese im-
porter of female slaves, was sentenced to pay a fine of $2,000 and serve a term
of ten years in the penitentiary. There were in 1887, in San Francisco, 800
wives of merchants and laundrymen, and 350 degraded females. Between
July 20, 1885, and October 31, 1887, 285 Chinese women landed in the city, GO of
whom were sent back to China. The following is the San Francisco collector's
report of the Chinese certificates issued from the 1st to the 30th of November,
1887 : 2,238, which were obtained by laborers, 2,163 of whom returned to Hong-
Kong on 3 vessels, 34whoAventto Panama on 3 vessels, 26 who departed for
Honolulu on 4 ships, 13 who left for Mexico on 2 vessels, and 2 who sailed to
Liverpool on the Servia; 40 merchants went to Hong-Kong during the month.
There were 1,018 laborers' certificates on hand November 1, and 1,500 more
were received, making a total of 2,518, from which 2,238 were issued and 2 can-
celed, leaving but 278 certificates on hand. A tax of $^50 per capita is levied
on all Chinese entering British Columbia. Prohibited by law from landing in
this country, they are freely received in British Columbia, whence it is easy
to gain access to the United States. Awakened at last to the facts of the

" Speaker."— When this term originated it was the custom for the chief
executive to deliver orally to the legislature such communication as he
desired at the commencement of a sesi-ion. The house so addressed responded
to the communication. The presiding officer headed a procession of members
of the house, waited upon the executive, and read the response, thus speaking
for the whole body ; therefrom originated the term speaker. Thomas Jefferson
determined that his communications to congress should be made by written
message, and that no answer would be expected. This led to a general change
in this regard in all American legislative bodies.

AN EPITOME
OF
OFFICIAL SUCCESSION.
1680 DOWN TO 1891.
HISTORICAL SUMMARY.
Latitude north, 40 degrees, 41 minutes, and 45 degrees, 11 minutes ; longitude
west 70 degrees, 40 minutes, and 72 degrees, 28 minutes.
Length, north and south, 168 miles ; width, east and west, 20 to 90 miles.
Area, 9,280 square miles.
In 1622, Mason and Gorges jointly had a grant of the land from the Merrimack
river to the Kennebec river, and in 1623 the first settlements were commenced
at Portsmouth and at Dover. In 1629 the grant was divided, and a separate
grant was made to Mason of that part west of the Pisc^ataqua river, called Xew
Hampshire, and to Gorges of the part east of the Piscataaqu, called Maine. In
1641, Massachusetts extended her jurisdiction over Xew Hampshire, and n-uaia-
tained her authority there until 1679, when, the case being brought before the
highest court of appeal in England on provincial matters, it was decided that
the claim of Massachusetts was illegal, and New Hampshire was constituted a
separate province. In 1686, the charter of Massachusetts havin i been annulled.
New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts and Xarragansett were united in one
royal province under President Dudley, and aftei-wards under Governor
Andros. In 1689, upon news of the revolution in England, the government of
Andros was overturned, and Massachusetts assumed her old charter. Some
of the people of Xew Hampshire petitioned Massachusetts to be received
under her government and protection till orders should come from England,
to w ich Massachusetts assented, and exercised a merely nominal authority
there. In 1692 the province of New Hampshire was re-established, and ever
after remained a separate province. In some cases, the same person was
governor of New Hampshire and Massachusetts, but the governments were
not connected. The legislatures, laws, courts, and officers, civil and military,
were entirely distinct. The line between the provinces remained in dispute
untill 1741, when it was finally settled as it now remains.

GUBERNATORIAL VOTE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. — 1784 TO 1890.
1784.
Mesliech Weare was probably uiiani-
inoiisly elected, as no vote is recorded.
The chief magistrates were called
" president " from 1784 to 1793. Then
the term " governor" was substituted.
1785.
Party distinctions did not probably
exist at this time. Subsequently, the
ter\nii federalist and republican desig-
nated party divisions, and the leading-
candidates voted for are classed by
their after party affiliations.

About this time, the federal party
having ceased to exist, the contending
political interests rallied about indi-
vidual men, and though not differing
materially in principle, espoused the
cause of Jackson orAdams, contestants
for the presidential chair. They were
recognized as Jackson vien, or Adams
men, and these political contests be-
came even more intensely bitter than
Avhere party lines had been drawn.

NEW HAMPSHIRE SENATORS. 165
NEW HAMPSHIRE SENATORS.
The following table of senators of the United States, from the first congress
to the close of the fifty-first congress, has been carefully compiled from the
records of the senate of the United States of America, iixpressly for the
Manual of New Hampshire Ofiicial Successions, by Hosea B. Carter, actuary,
in the ofiice of secretary of state. Concord.
Note. — Under article 1, section 3, clause 2, of the constitution of the
United States, relating to the classification of senators in the first and suc-
ceeding congresses, it was provided that, " Immediately after they shall be
assembled in consequence of the first election, they shall be divided as equally
as may be into three classes. The seats of the senators of the first class shall
be vacated at the expiration of the second year, of the second class at the ex-
piration of the fourth year, and of the third class at the expiration of the
sixth year, so that one third may be chosen every second year." The classifi-
cation of the senators of the first congress was made in accordance with this
provision by lot. The following table shows the classes to which the senators
of the fir.st congress were assigned, and the succession to the close of the fifty-
first congress.
