COLONIAL GO^rERXMENTS. The by which England claimed Xorth America originated in the dis- title 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. 2 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. draft, mostlyA 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. The hovise of representatives I.

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 be transported to England, and tried there upon accusations may 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, a right in the people to participate in their legislative council and is ;

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. 22 HISTORICAL ITEMS.

2. To prepare an address to the people of Great Britain, and a memorial to tlieinhabitants 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.

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.

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.

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. 48 HISTORICAL ITEMS.

PRESIDENTS PRO TEMPORE OF THE SENATE.— Cori«nt/ec?. 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 5 66 HISTORICAL ITEMS.

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 shall 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 allcountries 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. s Patents.— A patent was granted by Henry VII. of England, March Cabot 5, John Cabot and his three sons, Lewis, Sebastian, and Sanctius, their 1496, to " sail to all heirs or deputies, to 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 HISTORICAL NOTES. 6'

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- by the English nation." A'ility 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 Christopher Columbus was a native of Cogerio, near Genoa, their service. 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.

Lord Berkeley transferred his undivided half, March 18, 1674, to John Fenwicke in trust for Edward Byllinge. A new grant was made of the northeastern part of by the duke August 8, 1674, to Sir George Carteret, New Jersey. In time a quarrel sprang up between Fenwicke and Byllinge re- garding their respvctive rights. Both were Quakers, and the dispute was both. Fenwicke referred to William Penn, whose decision was satisfactory to to transfer a set sail for America, but Byllinge, greatly in debt, was obliged to his creditors, which were transferred to Penn, greater portion of his rights 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 Carteret. 41% degrees.

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.

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.

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

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 were made for grants patents for unimproved lands. In 1749 applications 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, and in his honor it having its western line twenty miles east of the Hudson; was named Bennington. The governor and council of New York remonstrated to issue patents^ so that in 1754, against the grant, yet Wentworth continued 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 ;

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 viz. appointed to prepare resolutions, which were adopted unanimously, :

Whereas, by an address presented to his majesty by both houses of parlia- in a state of ment, in February last, the ^Vmerican colonies are declared to be actual rebellion, we conceive that all laws and commissions confirmed by or derived from the authority of the king and parliament are annulled and for the present vacated, and the former civil constitution of these colonies of this wholly suspended. To provide in some degree for the exigencies 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 and executive great continental congress, is invested with all legislative or powers within their respective provinces, and that no other legislative executive power does or can exist at this time in any of these colonies. 74 HISTORICAL ITEMS.

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 accused persons 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 these select eighteen selectmen thus appointed do meet every third 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.

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 and design, 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 liberal sentiment every (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

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, orfrom 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 theseregulations 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 allUnited States vessels in France, or which mio-ht * arrive. 35. Rambouillet Decree issued by Napoleon, March 23, 1810, declared that " American vessels which should enter French all 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 of Florida in case possession 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,

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 ;

Whereas, onthe 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 " as slaves within any state or eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held 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 : 80 HISTORICAL ITEMS.

Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana (except the parishes of St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Jelferson, St. John, St. Charles, St. James, Ascension, Assumption, Terra Bonne, Lafourche, Ste.

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 further declare and make known that such persons, of suitable con- I

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.

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 certificateson hand. A tax of $^50 per capita is levied on Chinese entering British Columbia. Prohibited by law from landing in all 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 case, and to the necessity of immediate action, the government submitted a treaty to China embracing total exclusion. The delay of China in replying caused the formation of a Total Exclusion Act, which has been in force since October 1,1888. SESSIONS OF CONGRESS. 85

" 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. FIFTY-FIKST CONGRESS. Ill

ALASKA. 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. 118 NEAY HAMPSHIRE MANUAL.

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. 166 NEW HAMPSHIRE MANUAL.

PORTSMOUTH, Rockingham Co.— Originally granted Aug. 10,1622, and settlement begun the following year at a place since known as " Odiorne's Point." The settlement made where the city now is went by the name of " Piscataqua, also Strawberry Bank," and received its present name from the government of Massachusetts in May, 1753. New Castle set off in 169.3, and Greenland partially in 1704, and fully in 1721. The eminent men of Ports- mouth in the eighteenth century were numerous, only one of whom shall be mentioned here. His speech in the legislature, then in session at Exeter, at the time of the fall of Ticonderoga, when public credit was exhausted and the patriots nearly discouraged, ought to go down to posterity beside that of the patriotic Henry. Arising from his seat in the house of representatives, of which he was speaker, John Langdon said: " I have one thousand dollars in hard money. I will pledge my plate for three thousand more. I have seventy hogsheads of Tobago rum, Mhich will be sold for the most it will bring. They are at the service of the state. If we succeed in defending our firesides and our homes, I may be remunerated if we do not, then that prop- ;

erty will be of no value to me. Our friend Stark, Avho so nobly maintained the honor of our state at Bunker Hill, may be safely entrusted with the honor of the enterprise, and we will check the progress of Burgoyne." The result was the victory at Bennington and the subsequent surrender of Burgoj^ne. John Langdon held many public positions in New Hampshire, and was the first pre. siding officer of the United States senate. Portsmouth accepted a city char- ter in 1849. City officers elected on the first Tuesday of August, annually, and inaugu- rated on the second Tuesday of the same month. Ward officers elected on the Tuesday next after the first Monday in ]S^oveiaber, biennially. Latest city election, August 0, 1890.

On the 28tli day of the fifth and last provincial congress December, 1775, New Hampshire voted to " take of iip civil government, to continue dur- ing the present contest with Great Britain, and resolve themselves into a house of representatives, and then choose a council to continue one year from the 21st day of December current." On the same day the following gentlemen were appointed a committee to frame and bring in a draft of a new constitution for the rule and gov- ernment of this colony :

Matthew Thornton, Mesheck Weare, Ebenezer Thompson, Wysema,n Claggett, and Benjamin Giles; and two days later John Giddinge and Joseph Badger were added to the committee. On the 5th day of January, 1776, the committee reported and the con- gress passed the following vote: That this congress take up civil government for this colony in manner and form following, viz. :

In Congress at Exeter, January 5, 1776.

AVe, the of the congress of the colony of New Hampshire, members chosen and appointed by the free snlTrages of the people of said colony, and authorized and empowered by them to meet together and use such means and pursue such measures as we should judge best for the public good, and in particular to establish some form of government, provided that measure should be recommended by the continental congress, and a recommendation to that purpose having been transmitted to us from the said congress, have taken into our serious consideration the unhappy cir- cumstances into which this colony is involved by means of many griev- ous and oppressive acts of the British parliament, depriving us of our natural and constitutional rights and privileges; to enforce obedience to which acts, a powerful fleet and army have been sent into this country by the ministry of Great Britain, who have exercised a wanton ami cruel abuse of their power in destroying the lives and properties of the colonists in many places with tire and sword, tnking the ships and lading fr<nn many of the honest and industrious inhabitants of this colony emi)loyed in commerce agreeable to the laws and customs a long time used here. PRELIMINAKY STEPS. 421

The siidflen anrl abrupt departure of His Excellency Jolin Wentwortli, Esq., our late iiovernor. and several of the council, leaving us destitute of legislation and no executive courts being open to punish criminal offend- ;

ers, wherehv the lives aud properties of the lionest people of this colony- are liable to the machinations and evil designs of wicked men; Therefore, for the preservation of peace and good order, and for the security of the lives and properties of the inhabitants of this colony, we conceive ourselves reduced to the necessity of establishing a form of government, to continue during the present unhappy and unnatural con- test with Great Britain protesting and dechiring that we never sought to ;

throw off our dependence upon Great Britain, but felt ourselves happy under her protection while we could enjoy our constitutional rights and privileges, and that we shall reioice if such a reconciliation between us and our parent state can be effected as shall be approved by the conti- nental congress, in whose prudence and wisdom we confide. Accordingly, pursuant to the trust reposetl in us, we do resolve that this congress assume the name, power, and authority of a house of represent- atives, or assembly, for the colony of New Hampshire; and that said house then proceed to choose twelve persons, being reputable freeholders and inhabitants within this colony, in the following manner, viz. Five :

in the county of Rockingham, two in the county of Strafford, two in the county of Hillsborough, two in the county of Cheshire, and one in the county of Grafton, to be a distinct and separate branch of the legislature, by the name of a council for this colony, to continue as such until the thii'd Wednesday in December next, any seven of w bom to be a quorum to do lousiness. Tiiat such council appoint their president; and in his absence that the senior councilor preside. That a secretary be appointed by both branches, who may be a coun- cilm- or otherwise as thev shall choose. That no act or resolve shall be valid and put into execution unless agreed to and passed bv both branches of the legislature. That all public officers for the said colony and each county for the cur- rent year be appointed bv the council and assembly, except the several clerks of the executive courts, who shall be appointed by the justices of the respective courts. That all bills, resolves, or votes for raising, levying, and collecting money, originate in the house of representatives. That at any session of the council and assembly neither branch shall adjourn for any longer time than from Saturday till the next Monday without consent of the other. And it is further resolved that if the present unhappy dispute with Great Britain should continue longer than this present year, and the continental congress give no instructions or directions to the contrary, the council be chosen by the people of each respective county in such manner as the council and'house of representatives shall order. That general and field oflicers of the militia, on any vacancy, be ap- pointed by the two houses, and all inferior officers be chosen by the re- spective companies. That all officers of the army be appointed by the two houses, except they should direct otherwise in case of any emergency. That all civil ofticers for the colony and for each county be appointed and the time of their continuance in oflSce be determined by the two liouses, except clerks of courts, and county treasurers, and recorders of

That a treasurer and a rec(n'der of deeds for each county be annually chosen by the people of each county respectively; the votes for such officers to be returned to the respective courts of general sessions of the peace in the county, there to be ascertained as the council and assembly shall hereafter direct. 422 NEW HAMPSHIRE MANUAL. That precepts in the name of the council and assembly, signed by the president of the council and the speaker of the house of representatives, shall issue annually, at or before the first day of November, for the choice of a council and house of representatives, to be returned by the third Wednesday in December then next ensuing, in such manner as the coun- cil and assembly shall hereafter prescribe.

COLONY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. BY THE COUNCIL AND ASSEMBLY, A PROCLAMATION. Whereas, the congress of this colony have, agreeable to a recommenda- tion from the honorable continental congress, resolved on and formed themselves upon a plan of government by a council and house of repre- sentatives, "Which plan has been published, and dispersed through the colonjf, and is to be in force during the present dispute with Great Britain, unless otherwise advised by the continental congress; conformable to which said plan of government, the council and assembly have chosen and appointed the proper officers for the administration of justice in the several counties, who are to be sworn to the faithful discharge of their several trusts. It is therefore expected that no person or persons claim or exercise any civil authority but such as are, or may be, appointed as aforesaid, on the penaltj' of being deemed inimical to their country. Provided, nevertheless, and this proclamation is intended not to inter- fere with the power of the necessary committees of inspection, or safety, chosen in the several towns through the colony by virtue and in conse- quence of any recommendation or resolves of the continental congress. Whereof, all persons concerned are to take due notice, and govern themselves accordingly. And at the same time it is earnestly recommended that in this distress- ing day of public calamity, when our enemies are watching all opportu- nities to ensnare and divide us, every one would strive to prevent, and, if possible, to quell all appearance of party spiiit, to cultivate and pro- mote peace, union, and good order, and by all means in their power to discourage profaneness, immoralitjs and injustice.

A convention met in accordance with the ahove vote, and framed and submitted to the people the following plan of government, which was not ratified by them :

A DECLAKATION OF RIGHTS AND PLAN OF GOVERNMENT FOR THE STATE OF NEW HAMP- SHIRE.

Whereas, by the tyrannical administration of the government of the king and parliament of Great Britain, this State of New Hampshire, with the'other United States of America, have been necessitated to reject the British government, and declare themselves independent states; all which is more largely set forth by the continental congress in their reso- lution or declaration of the fourth of July, A. D. 1776; And, Avhereas, it is recommended bv the said continental congress to each and every of the said United States, to establish a form of govern- ment most conducive to the welfare thereof ;

We, the delegates of the said state of New Hampshire, chosen for the purpose of forming a permanent plan of government, subject to the re- visal <^t our constituents, have composed the following declaration of rights and plan of government, and recommend the same to our constit- uents for their approbation :

A DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. First. We declare that we, the people of the State of New Hampshire, are free and independent of the crown of Great Britain. Secondly. We. the people of this state, are entitled to life, liberty, and property, and all other immunities and privileges which we heretofore enjoyed. Thirdly.

State of New Hampshire, In Convention, June 5th, 1779.

of the number of voters present at such meeting, and how many voted for receiving said plan, and how luany for rejecting the same, unto this con- vention at Concord in this state, on the third Tuesday iu September next. By order of the convention, JOHN LANGDON, Presirfen^, P. T. E. Thompson, Secretary.

In the House op Representatives, April 5, 1781.

Whereas, the present situation of affairs in this state make it necessary that a full and free representation of the inhabitants thereof should meet in convention for the sole purpose of forming and laying a pernninent plan or system of government for the future happiness and well-being of the good people of this state, and this house having received instructions from a considerable part of their constituents for that purpose; therefore, voted and resolved that the honoi'able the president of the council issue to every town, parish, and district within that part of this state east of Connecticut river a precept, recommending to them to elect and choose one or more persons, as they shall judge it expedient, to convene at Con- cord in said state, on the first Tuesday of June next, for the purpose afore- said, saving to the small towns liberty to join two or more together if they see fit, to elect and send one person to represent them in said convention. And such system or form of government as may be agreed upon by such convention being printed, and sent to each and every town, parish, and district in this state, for the approbation of the people, which system or form of govej-nment being approved of hy such number of the inhabi- tants of this state in their respective town meetings, legally called for CONSTITUTION OF 1784. • 429

that purpose, as shall be ordered by said convention, and a return of such appiobation being made to said convention and confirmed by them, shall remain as a permanent system or form of government of this state, and not otherwise. And if the first proposed system or form of government should be rejected by the people, that the same convention shall be em- powered to proceed and make such amendments and alterations from time to time as may be necessary, provided, always, that after such alter- ations the same be'^sent out for the approbation of the people, in manner as aforesaid, and that the charge and expense ot each member of such convention be defrayed by their respective electors. Sent up by Captain Pickering.

In Council, April 6, ITSl. Eesolve for calling a convention to meet at Concord on the first Tuesday of June next, to form a system or plan of government, brought up, read, and concurred. Pursuant to the foregoing votes a convention of delegates met in Con- cord on the first Tuesday of June, 1781. As the journal of the convention cannot be found, it is not easy to tell how many sessions it held. Dr. Belknap says nine. It continued a live, active body through a period of two years and al- most five months, during which it " framed " three constitutions, which were successively submitted to the people. Two were rejected. The following is the constitution framed by the convention and ratified " by the people in 17S3, which "took place on the first Wednesday of June, 17S4 :

A CONSTITUTION, CONTAINING A BILL OF BIGHTS, AND FORM OF GOVERNMENT Agi-eed upon by the delegates of the people of the state of New Hamp- shire, inconvention held at Concord, on the first Tuesday of June, 1783; submitted to and approved of by the people of said state, and established by their delegates in convention, October 31, 1783.

PART I.

THE BILL OF RIGHTS. I. All men are born equally free and independent therefore, all gov- ;

ernment of right originates from the people, is founded in consent, and instituted for the general good. II. All men have certain natural, essential, and inherent rights, among which are the enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring, possess- ing, and protecting property, and, in a word, of seeking and obtaining happiness. III. When men enter into a state of society, they surrender up some of their natural rights to that society, in order to insure the protection of others and without svich an equivalent the surrender is void. ;

IV. Among the natural rights, some are in their very nature unaliena- ble, l)ecause no equivalent'can be given or received for them. Of this kind are the rights of conscience. V. Every individual has a natural and unalienable right to worship God according'to the dictates of his own conscience and reason; and no sub- ject shall be hurt, molested, or restrained in his person, liberty, or estate. 430 NEW HAMPSHIRE MANUAL.

for worshiping God in the manner and season most agreeable to the dic- tates of his own conscience, or for his religious profession, sentiments, or persuasion, provided he doth not disturb the public peace, or disturb others in their religious worship. VI. As morality and piety, rightly grounded on evangelical principles, will give the best and greatest security to government, and will lay in the hearts of men the strongest obligations to due subjection, and as the knowledge of these is most likely .to be propagated through a society by the institution of the public worship of the Deity, and of public instruc- tion in morality ana religion, therefore, to promote those important pur- poses, the people of this state have a right to impower, and do hereby fully impowei", the legislature to authorize from time to time the several towns, parishes, bodies corpoi'ate, or religious societies within this state, to make adequate provision at their own expense for the support and maintenance of public Protestant teacliers of pietj^ religion, and mor- ality ;

Provided, notwithstanding, that the several towns, parishes, bodies corpo- rate, or religious societies, shall at alltimes have the exclusive right of electing their own public teachers, and of contracting with them for their support and maintenance. And no person of any one particular religious sect or denomination shall ever be compelled to pay towards the sup- port of the teacher or teachers of another persuasion, sect, or denomi- nation. And every denomination of Christians demeaning themselves quietly, and as good subjects of the state, shall be equally under the protection of the law and no subordination of any one sect or denomination to anoth- ;

er shall ever be established by law. And nothing herein shall be understood to affect any former contracts made for the support of the ministry; but all such contracts shall remain, and be in the same state as if this constitution had not been made. VII. The people of this state have the sole and exclusive right of gov- erning themselves as a free, sovereign, and independent state, and do, and forever hereafter shall, exercise and enjoy every power, jurisdiction, and right pertaining thereto, which is not, or may not hereafter be, by them expressly delegated to the United States of America in congress assem- Wed. VIII. All power residing originally in and being derived from the people, the magistrates and officers of government are their sub- all stitutes and agents, and at all times accountable to them. IX. No office or place whatsoever in government shall be hereditary, the abilities and integrity requisite in all not being transmissible to posterity or relations. X. Government being instituted for the common benefit, pi'otectiou, and security of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are inefi'ectual, the people may, and of right ought, to reform the old or establish a new government. The doctrine of non-resistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absui'd, slavisli, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind. XI. All elections ought to be free, and every inhabitant of the state, having the proper qualifications, has equal right to elect and be elected into office. XII. Every member of the community has a right to be protected by it in the enjoyment of his life, liberty, and property; he is therefoi'e bound to contribute his share in the expense of such protection, and to yield his personal service when necessary, or an equivalent. But no part of a man's propertj" shall be taken from him, or applied to public uses without his own consent, or that of the representative body of the people. Nor CONSTITUTION OF 1784. 431

•arethe inhabitants of the state controllable by any other laws than those to which they or their representative bo<ly have given their consent. XIII. No person who is conscientiously scrupulous about thf. lawful- ness of bearing arms shall be compelled thereto, provided he will pay an equivalent. XIV. Every subject of this state is entitled to a certain remedy, by hav- ing recourse to the laws, for all injviries he may receive in his person, propertv, or character, to obtain right and justice freely, without being obligedto purchase it; completely, and without any denial; promptly, and without delay, conformably to the laws. XV. No subject shall be held to answer for any crime or otfence until the same is fully and plainly, substantially and formally, described to him; or be compelled to accuse or furnish evidence against himself. And every subject shall have a right to produce all proofs that maybe fav- orable to himself; to meet the witnesses against him face to face, an<l to be fullv heard in his defence by himself and counsel. And no subject shall be ai-rested, imprisoned, despoiled, or deprived of his property, Immunities, or privileges, put out of the protection of the law, exiled, or deprived of his life, liberty, or estate, but by the judgment of his peers, or the law of the land. XVI. No subject shall be liable to be tried, after an acquittal, for the sa.me crime or offence. Nor shall the legislature make any law that shall subject any person to a capital punishment, excepting for the govern- ment of the army and navy, and the militia in actual service, without triai by jury. XVII. In criminal prosecutions, the trial of facts in the vicinity where they happen is so essential to the security of the life, liberty, and estate of the citizen, that no crime or offence ought to be tried in any other county than that in which it is committed, except in cases of general insurrection in any particular county, when it shall appear to thf^. judges of the superior court that an impartial trial cannot be had in the county where the offence maybe committed, and upon their report the assembly shall think proper todirect the trial in the nearest county in which an impartial trial can be obtained. XVm. All penalties ought to be proportioned to the nature of the offence. No wise legislature will affix the samn punishment to the <5rimes of theft, forgery, and the like, which they do to those of mui-der and treason; where the same undistinguishing severity is exerted against all offences, the people ai-e led to forget the real distinction in the crimes themselves, and to commit the most flagi-ant with as little conipuncticm as they do those of the lightest dye; for the same reason a multitude of .sanguinary laws is both impolitic and unjust, the true design of all punishments being to reform, not to exterminate, mankind. XIX. Every subject hath a right to be secure fi-om all unreasormble searches and seizures of his person, his houses, his pa))ers, and all his possessions. All warrants, theretore, are contrary to this right, if the cause or foundation of them be not previously supported by oath or affirmation, and if the order in the warrant to a civil officer to make search in suspected places, or to arrest one or nioie suspi-cted persons, or to seize their property, be not accompanied with a special designation of the persons or objects of search, arrest, and seizure; and no warrant ought to be issued but in cases and with the formalities prescrii)ed by the laws. XX. In all controversies concerning propert5^ and in all suits between two or more persons, except in cases in which it has ber-n heretofore otherwise used and practiced, the parties have a right to a trial by jury; and this method of procedure shall be held sacred, unless in causes aris- ing on the high seas, and such as relate to mariners' wages, the legis- lature shall think it necessary hereafter to alter it. 432 NEW HAMPSHIRE MANUAL. XXI. In order to reap the fullest advantage of the inestimable priv- ilege of the trial by jnry, great care oiigbt to be taken that none but qualified persons should be appointed to serve; and such ought to be fully compensated for their travel, time, and attendance. XXII. The liberty of the press is essential to the seciirity of freedom in a state; it ought, thei'efore, to be inviolably preserved. XXIII. Retrospective laws are highly injurious, oppressive, and unjust. No such laws, therefore, shouM be made, either for the decision of civil causes or the punishment of offences. XXIV. A well-regulated militia is the proper, natural, and sure defence of a state. XXV. Standing armies are dangerous to liberty, and ought not to be raised or kept up without the consent of the legislature. XXVI. In all cases, and at all times, the military ought to be under strict subordination to and governed by the civil power. XXVII. No soldier in time of peace shall be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner; and in time of war such quarters ought not to be made but by the civil magistrate, in a manner ordained by the legislature. XXVIII. No subsidy, charge, tax, impost, or duty shall be established, fixed, laid, or levied under any pretext whatsoever without the consent of the people, or their representatives in the legislature, or authority de- rived from that body. XXIX. The pow^erof suspending the laws, or the execution of them, ought never to be exercised but by the legislature, or by authority de- rived therefrom, to be exercised m such particular cases onlj' as the legislature shall expressly provide for. XXX. The freedom of deliberation, speech, and debate, in either house of the legislature, is so essential to the rights of the people that it cannot be the foundation of any action, complaint, oi- prosecution in any other court or place whatsoever. XXXI. The legislature ought frequently to assemble for the redress of grievances, for correcting, strengthening, and confirming the laws, and for making new ones, as the common good may require. XXXII. The people have a right in a orderly and peaceable manner to assemble and consult upon the common good, give instructions to their representatives, and to request of the legislative body, by way of petition or remonstrance, redress of the wrongs done them, and of the grievances they suffer. XXXIII. No magisti-ate or court of law shall demand excessive bail or sureties, impose excessive fines, or inflict cruel or unusual punishments. XXXIV. No person can in any case be subjected to law martial, or to any pains or penalties by virtue of that law, except those employed in the army or navy, and except the militia in actual service, but by author- ity of the legislature. XXXV. It is essential to the preservation of the rights of every individ- ual, his life, liberty, property, and character, that there be an impartial interpretation of the laws, and administration of justice. It is the right of ever}' citizen to be tried by judges as impartial as the lot of humanity will admit. It is therefore not only the best policy, but for the security of the rights of the people, that the judges of the supreme (or superior) judicial court should hold their offices so long as they behave well; and that they should have honorable salaries, ascertained and established by standing laws. XXXVI. Economy being a most essential virtue in all states, especially in a young one, no pension shall be granted but in consideration of actual services, and such pensions ought to be granted with great caution by the legislature, and never tor more than one year at a time. XXXVII. In the government of this state the three essential powers CONSTITUTION OF 1784. 433

thereof, to wit, the legisliitive, executive, and judicial, ought to be kept as separate from ami independent of each other as the nature of a free government will admit, or as is consistent with that chain of connection that binds the whole fabric of the constitution in one indissoluble bond of unity and amity. XXXVlII. A frequent recurrence to the fundamental principles of the constitution, and a constant adherence to justice, moderation, temper- ance, indnstrj', frugality, and all the social virtues, are indispensably necessary to preserve the blessings of libei'ty and good government; the people ought, therefore, to have a particular regard to all those principles in the choice of their oflScers and representatives; and they have a right to require of their lawgivers and magistrates an exact an(i constant ob- servance ot them in the formation and execution of the laws necessary good administration of government. for the e>^

The vote under the act of 1849 showing a large majority in favor of calling a con- vention, the legislature of 1850, by an act approved July 8, provided for a convention and appropriated fortv thousand dollars to pay its expenses. , , , ^. , The convention met in Concord on the 6th day of November, 1850. and continued in session, with one adjournment from the 22d of November to the 3d of December, 444 NEW HAMPSHIRE MANUAL. until the 3cl day of January, 1851. On that day, having adopted many amendments and provided for sulnnittin£c them to the qualified voters of the state, they again adjourned to the 16th of April then next. The popular sentiment Avas strongly against the action of the convention, as was shown by the canvass of the returns of the votes cast, every proposed amendment having received a large majority against it. The convention adjourned, M'ithout day, on the 17th of April, 1851, after having at the adjourned session prepared and provided for submitting to the qualified voters three amendments. — abolishing the religious test, the property qualification, and providing a new mode of amending the constitution. The amendment abolishing the property qualification was ratified, the other two were rejected. Under the acts of 1860 and 1864, a majority of the votes in each case was in favor of calling a convention, but the legislature did not deem it expedient to call one. A convention met in Concord on the 6th day of December, 1876, the legal voters under the act of 1875 having given a large majority in favor of such a convention. The convention was in session eleven days. All of its proposed amendments ex- cepting two Avere ratified by the legal A'oters. The journal of that convention was published and distributed throughout the state. Under the act of 1885 a small vote was cast, but a majority being in favor of a convention, the legislature of 1887 made provision for one. It met in Concord on the 2d day of January, 1889, and finally adjourned on the 11th day of the same month. It proposed several amendments, all but two of which were ratified by the people. The following is the cons titution as amended by that convention and ratified by the legal voters on the 12tli day of March, 1889 : CONSTITUTION OF THE

PART FIRST. BILL OF RIGHTS. Article 1. All men are born equally free and independent therefore all ;

government of right originates from the people, is founded in consent, and instituted for the general good. Art. 2. All men have certain natural, essential, and inherent rights among ;

which are the enjoying and defending life and liberty acquiring, possessing, ;

and protecting property; and, in a word, of seeking and obtaining happiness. Art. 3. When men enter into a state of society they surrender up some of their natural rights to that society in order to insure the protection of others ;

and without such an equivalent the surrender is void. Art. Among the natural rights, some are in their very nature unalienable, 4.

because no equivalent can be given or conceived for them. Of this kind are the RIGHTS OF CONSCIENCE. CONSTITUTION OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. 449

Art. 5. Every individual has a natural and unalienable right to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience and reason; and no subject shall be hurt, molested, or restrained in his person, liberty, or estate for wor- shiping God in the manner and season most agreeable to the dictates of his own conscience, or for his religious profession, sentiments, or persuasion, pro- vided he doth not disturb the public peace, or disturb others in their religious worship. Art. 6. As morality and piety, rightly grounded on evangelical principles, will give the best and greatest security to government, and will lay in the hearts of men the strongest obligations to due subjection, and as the knowl- edge of these is most likely to be propagated through a society by the in- stitution of the public worship of the Deity and of public instruction in morality and religion, therefore, to promote these important purposes, the people of this state have a right to empower, and do hereby fully empower, the legislature to authorize, from time to time, the several towns, parishes, bodies corporate, or religious societies within this state to make adequate provision, at their own expense, for the support and maintenance of public Protestant teachers of piety, religion, and morality. Provided, notwithstand- ing, that the several towns, parishes, bodies corporate, or religious societies shall at all times have the exclusive right of electing their own public teachers, and of contractmg with them for their support and maintenance. And no person of any one particular religious sect or denomination shall ever be compelled to pay toward the support of the teacher or teachers of another persuasion, sect, or denomination. And every denomination of Christians, demeaning themselves quietly and as good subjects of the state, shall be equally under the protection of the law; and no subordination of any one sect or denomination to another shall ever be established by law. And nothing herein shall be understood to affect any former contracts made for the support of the ministry but all such contracts shall remain and be ;

in the same state as if this constitution had not been made. Art. 7. The people of this state have the sole and exclusive right of gov- erning themselves as a free, sovereign, and independent state, and do, and forever hereafter shall, exercise and enjoy every power, jurisdiction, and right pertaining thereto which is not or may not hereafter be by them ex- pressly delegated to the United States of America in congress assembled. Art. 8. All power residing originally in, and being derived from, the peo- ple, all the magistrates and officers of government are their substitutes and agents, and at all times accountable to them. AR.T. 9. No office or place whatsoever in government shall be hereditary, the abilities and integrity requisite in all not being transmissible to poster- ity or relations. Art. 10. Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men, therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted and public liberty manifestly endangered, 29 450 NEW HAMPSHIRE MANUAL.

and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to,reform the old or establish a new government. The doctrine of non-resistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind. Art. 11. All elections ought to be free and every inhabitant of the state, ;

having the proper qualifications, has equal right to elect and be elected into office. 12. Every member of the community has a right to be protected by Art. it in the enjoyment of his life, liberty, and property. He is, therefore, bound to contribute his share in the expense of such protection, and to yield his personal service, when necessary, or an equivalent. But no part of a man's property taken from him or applied to public uses without shall be his own consentor that of the representative body of the people. Nor are the inhabitants of this state controllable by any other laws than those to which they or their representative body have given their consent. Art. 13. No person who is conscientiously scrupulous about the lawfulness of bearing arms shall be compelled thereto, provided he will pay an equivalent. Art. 14. Every subject of this state is entitled to a certain remedy, by having recourse to the laws, for all injuries he may receive in his person,

property, or character; to obtain right and justice freely, without being obliged to purchase it; completely and without any denial; promptly, and without any delay conformably to the laws. ;

Art. 15. No subject shall be held to answer for any crime or offence until the same is fully and plainly, substantially and formally, described to him, or be compelled to accuse or furnish evidence against himself. And every subject shall have a right to produce all proofs that may be favorable to himself, to meet the witnesses against him face to face, and to be fully heard in his defence by himself and counsel. And no subject shall be arrested, imprisoned, despoiled, or deprived of his property, immunities, or privileges, put out of the protection of the law, exiled, or deprived of his life, libertj', or estate, but by the judgment of his peers or the laws of the land. Art. 16. No subject shall be liable to be tried, after an acquittal, for the same crime or offence nor shall the legislature make any law that shall ;

subject any person to a capital punishment (excepting for the government of the army and navy, and the militia in actual service) without trial by jury. Art. 17. In criminal prosecutions, the trial of facts in the vicinity where they happen is so essential to the security of the life, liberty, and estate of the citizen, that no crime or offence ought to be tried in anj-^ other county than that in which it is committed, except in cases of general insurrection in any particular county, when it shall appear to the judges of the superior court that an impartial trial cannot be had in the county where the offence may be committed, and, upon their report, the legislature shall think proper to direct the trial in the nearest county in which an impartial trial can be obtained. CONSTITUTION OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. 451

AnT. 18.All penalties ought to be proportioned to the nature of the of- fence. No wise legislature will affix the same punishment to the crimes of theft, forgery, and the like, which they do to those of murder and treason. "Where the same undistinguishing severity is exerted against all offences, the people are led to forget the real distinction in the crimes themselves, and to commit the most flagrant with as little compunction as they do the lightest offences. For the same reason, a multitude of sanguinary laws is both impolitic and unjust, the true design of all punishment being to reform, not to exterminate, mankind. Art. 19. Every subject hath a right to be secure from all unreasonable searches and seizures of his person, his houses, his papers, and all his pos- sessions. Therefore, all warrants to search suspected places, or arrest a per- son for examination or trial, in prosecutions for criminal matters, are con- trary to this right, if the cause or foundation of them be not previously supported by oath or affirmation, and if the order, in a warrant to a civil officer to make search in suspected places, or to arrest one or more sus- pected persons, or to seize their property, be not accompanied with a special designation of the persons or objects of search, arrest, or seizure; and no warrant ought to be issued but in cases and with the formalities prescribed by law. Art. 20. In all controversies concerning property and in all suits between two or more persons, except in cases in which it has been heretofore other- wise used and practiced, and except in cases in which the value in contro- versy does not exceed one hundred dollars and title of real estate is not concerned, the parties have a right to trial by jury; and this method of procedure shall be held sacred, unless, in cases arising on the high seas and such as relate to mariners' wages, the legislature shall think it necessary hereafter to alter it. Art. 21. In order to reap the fullest advantage of the inestimable privi- lege of trial by jury, great care ought to be taken that none but qualified persons should be appointed to serve; and such ought to be fully compen- sated for their travel, time, and attendance. Art. 22. The liberty of the lyress is essential to the security of freedom in a state; it ought, therefore, to be inviolably preserved. Art. 23. Retrospective laws are highly injurious, oppressive, and unjust. No such laws, therefore, should be made, either for the decision of civil causes or the punishment of offences. Art. 24. A well-regulated militia is the proper, natural, and sure defence of a state. Art. 25. Standing armies are dangerous to liberty, and ought not to be raised or kept up without the consent of the legislature. Art. 26. In all cases and at all times the military ought to be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power. Art. 27. No soldier in time of peace shall be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner; and in time of war such quarters ought not to be made but by the civil magistrate, in a manner ordained by the legislature. 452 NEW HAMPSHIRE MANUAL. Akt. 28. No subsidy, charge, tax, impost, or duty shall be established, fixed, under any pretext whatsoever, without the consent of the peo- laid, or levied, ple or their representatives in the legislature, or authority derived from that body. Ajit. 29. The power of suspending the laws or the execution of them ought never to be exercised but by the legislature, or by authoritj^ derived therefrom, to be exercised in such particular cases only as the legislature shall expressly provide for. Art. 30. The freedom of deliberation, speech, and debate in either house of the legislature is so essential to the rights of the people that it cannot be the foundation of any action, complaint, or prosecution in any other court or place whatsoever. Art. 31. The legislature shall assemble for the redress of public grievances and for making such laws as the public good may require. Art. 32. The people have a right, in an orderly and peaceable manner, to assemble and consult upon the common good, give instructions to their rep- resentatives, and to request of the legislative body, by way of petition or remonstrance, redress of the wrongs done them, and of the grievances they suffer. Art. No magistrate or court of law shall demand excessive bail or 33.

sureties,impose excessive fines, or inflict cruel or unusual punishments. Art. 34. No person can in any case be subjected to law martial or to any pains or penalties by virtue of that law, except those employed in the army or navy, and except the militia in actual service, but by authority of the legislature. Art. 35. It is essential to the preservation of the rights of every individual, his property, and character, that there be an impartial interpre- life, liberty, tation of the laws and administration of justice. It is the right of every citizen to be tried by judges as impartial as the lot of humanity will admit. It is, therefore, not only the best liolicy, but for the security of the rights of the people that the judges of the supreme judicial court should hold their offices so long as they behave well, subject, however, to such limitations on account of age as may be provided by the constitution of the state and ;

that they should have honorable salaries, ascertained and established by standing law. Art. 36. Economy being a most essential virtue in all states, especially in a young one, no pension should be granted but in consideration of actual services; and such pensions ought to be granted with great caution by the legislature, and never for more than one year at a time. Art. 37. In the government of this state, the three essential powers thereof — to wit, the legislative, executive, and judicial — ought to be kept as separate from, and independent of, each other as the nature of a free government will admit, or as is consistent with that chain of connection that binds the whole fabric of the constitution in one indissoluble bond of union and amity. Art. 38. A frequent recurrence to the fundamental principles of the consti- tution, and a constant adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, industry, CONSTITUTION OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. 453

frugality,and all the social virtues, are indispensably necessary to preserve the blessings of liberty and good government. The people ought, therefore, to have a particular regard to all those principles in the choice of their officers and representatives and they have a right to require of their lawgivers and ;

magistrates an exact and constant observance of them in the formation and execution of the laws necessary for the good administration of government.

PART SECOND. FORM OF GOVERNMENT. ARTICLE 1.
