Agreeably to the order of the day, the Congress resolved iUelfinto a committee of the whole, to take into their further consideration the Declaration; and, after some time, the Pres- ident resumed the chair, and Mr. Harrison reported that the committee had agreed to a declaration, which they desired him to report. ( The committee consisted of Jefferson, Frank- lin, John Adams, Sherman, and K. K. Livingston.) The Declaration being read, was agreed to, as follows : A DECLARATION BY THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED. When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have con- nected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect for the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel 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, and 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, (3; DECLARATION OP INDEPENDENCE. 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 governments long established should not be changed lor light and transient causes ; and, accordingly, all experience hath shown that mankind are 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 invari- ably 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 colo- nies, and such is now the necessity 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 importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained ; and, when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature — a right inestim- able to them, and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, 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 oppos- ing, 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, mcapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise, the State remaining, in the meantime, ex- DECLARATION OP INDEPENDENCE. posed to all the danger of invasion from without, and convul- sions within. He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States ; for that purpose, obstructing the laws for naturaliza- tion of foreii ners ; refusing to pass others to encourage their emigration hither, and raising the conditions of new appro- priations of lands. He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refus- ing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers. He has made judges dependent on his will alone for the tenure of their offices 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 sub- stances. He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, without the consent of our legislature. He has affected to render the military independent of, and superior to, the civil power. He has coml>ined, 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 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 us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses. For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neigh- boring province, establishing therein an arbitary government, and enlarging its boundaries, so as to render it at once an ex- ample and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these colonies ; For taking away our cliarters, abolishing our most valuable 6 D£CAARATIOX OF INDEPENDENCE. laws, and altering, fundamentally, the powers of our govern- ments ; For suspending our own legislature, and declaring them- selves 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. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coast, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is, at this time, transporting large armies of foreign mer- cenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and ty- ranny, already begun, with circumstances of cruelty and per- fidy 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 repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a ty- rant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British breth- ren. We have warned them, from time to time, of attempts made by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdic- tion 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 DECLARATION OF IKDEPENSENOI. 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, ap- pealing 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 connec- tions 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 Declara- tion, with a firm reliance on the protection of DIVINE PROV- IDENCE, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

No person shall be a Representative who shall not have at- tained to the age of twenty-five years, and been seven years a citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen. Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective numbers, which shall be deter- mined by adding to the whole number of free persons, includ- ing those bound to service for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three-fifths of all other persons. The actual enumeration shall be made within three years after the first meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within (9) 10 CONSTITUTION OP THS every subsequent term often years, in such manner as they shall by law direct. The number of Eepresentatives shall not ex- •ceed one for every thirty thousand, but each State shall have at least one Representative ; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to choose three, Massachusetts eight, Khode Island and Provi- dence Plantations one, Connecticut five. New York six. New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three.

The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other officers ; and shall have the sole power of impeachment. Sec. 3. The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof, for six years ; and each Senator shall have one vote. 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 expiration 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 ; and if vacancies hap- pen by resignation, or otherwise, during the recess of the Legislature of any State, the Executive thereof may make temporary appointments until the next meeting of the Legis- lature, which shall then fill such vacancies. No person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the age of thirty years, and been nine years a citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabi- tant of that State for which he shall be chosen. The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no vote, unless they be equally divided. The Senate shall choose their other officers, and also a Pres- ident pro tempore^ in the absence of the Vice-President, or when he shall exercise the office of President of the United States. UNITED STATES. H The Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeach- ments. When sitting for that purpose, they shall be on oath or affirmation. When the President of the United States is being tried, the Chief Justice shall preside ; and no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two-thirds of the members present. Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States ; but the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment, according to law. Sec. 4. The times, places, and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof ; but the Congress may, at any time, by law make or alter such regulations, except as the places of choosing Senators. The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year, and such meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by law appoint a different day. Sec. 5. Each House shall be the judge of the elections, re- turns, and qualifications of its own members, and a majority of each shall constitute a quorum to do business ; but a smaller number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the attendance of absent members, in such manner and under such penalties as each House may provide. Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and with the con- currence of two-thirds, expel a member. Each House shall keep a Journal of its Proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, excepting such parts as may, in their judgment, require secrecy; and the yeas and nays of the members of either House on any question shall, at the desire of one-fifth of those present, be entered on the journal. Neither House, during the session of Congress, shall, with- out the consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting. Sec. 6. The Senators and Representatives shall receive a compensation for their services, to be ascertained by law and 12 CONSTITUTION OF THE paid out of the treasury of the United States. They shall in all cases, except treason, felony, and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same ; and for any speech or debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other place. No Senator or Representative shall, during the time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil office under the authority of the United States, which shall have been cre- ated, or the emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time, and no person holding any office under the United States shall be a member of either House during his continuance in office. Sec. 7. All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with ai'nendments as on other bills. . Every bill which shall have passed the House of Represen- tatives and the Senate, shall, before it becomes a law, be pre- sented to the President of the United States : If he approve, he shall sign it; but if not, he shall return it, with his objec- tions, to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large on their Journal, and pro- ceed to reconsider it. If, after such reconsideration, two-thirds of that House shall agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent, to- gether with the objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two-thirds of that House, it shall become a law. But in all such cases the votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and nays, and the names of persons voting for and against the bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any bi]l shall not be returned by the President within ten days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a law, in like manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress, by their adjournment, prevent its re- turn, in which case it shall not be a law. Every order, resolution, or vote to which the concurrence of the Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a question of adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the United States ; and before the same shall take effect, shall be approved by him ; or, being disapproved by him, shall be repassed by two-thirds of the Senate and UNITED STATES. 18 House of Representatives, according to the rules and limita- tions prescribed in the case of a bill.

In case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President ; and the Congress may by law provide for the case of removal, death, resignation, or inability, both of the Presi- dent and Vice President, declaring what officer shall then act as President ; and such officer shall act accordingly until the disability be removed, or a President shall be elected. The President shall, at stated times, receive for his services a compensation, which shall neither be increased nor dimin- ished during the period for which he shall have been elected ; and he shall not receive within that period any other emolu- pient from the United States, or any of them. Before he enter on the execution of his office, he shall take the following oath or affirmation : "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I. will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will, to the best of my abili- ity, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."

In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such ex- ceptions and under such regulations as the Congress shall make. The trial of all crimes, except in cases of Impeachment, shall be by jury; and such trial shall be held in the State where the said crimes shall have be^in committed ; but when not committed within any State, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed. Sec. 3. Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open Court.

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several State Legislatures, and all execu- tive and judicial oflScers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by oath or affirmation to sup- port this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be re- quired as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States. ARTICLE VII. The ratification of the conventions of nine States shall be sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the same. Done in convention, by the unanimous consent of the States present, the seventeenth day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the twelfth.

Evans, EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION. -:0: Whereas^ On the twenty-second day of September, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, a proclamation was issued by the President of the United States, containing among other things the following, to-wit ; That, on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, henceforth and forever free, and the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of 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 afore- said, by proclamation, designate the States and parts of States, if any, in which the people therein 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 States shall have participated, shall, in the absence of strong countervailing testimony, be deemed conclusive 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 Com- mander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, in time of actual armed rebellion against the authority and Government of the United States, and as a fit 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 accordance with my purpose so to do, publicly proclaimed for the full period of one hundred days (54) EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION. 55 from the day of the first above-mentioned order, and desig- nate, as the States and parts of States wherein the people thereof respectively are this day in rebellion againt the United States, the following to-wit ; Arkansas, Texas, Louisi- ana, except the parishes of St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Jeffer- son, St. John, St. Charles, St. James, Ascension, Assumption, Terre Bonne, Lafourche, St. Mary, St. Martin and Orleans, in- cluding the city of New Orleans. Mississippi, Alabama, Flor- ida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia, except the forty-eight counties designated as West Yirginia, and also the counties of Berkeley, Accomac, Northampton. Elizabeth City, York, Princess Ann, and Norfolk, including the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth, and which excepted parts are, for the present, left precisely as if this proclamation were not issued. 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 hencefor- ward, shall be free ; and that the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities there- of, 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-defense ; and I recommend to them that, in all cases, when allowed, they labor faithfully for reasonable wages. And I further declare and make known that such persons of suitable condition will be received into the armed service of the United States, to garrison forts, positions, stations, and other places, and to man vessels of all sorts in said service. And upon this, sincerely believed to be an act of justice, warranted by the Constitution upon military necessity, I in- voke the considerate judgment of mankind and the gracious favor of Almighty God. In witness whereof 1 have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this first day of January, ,— «-^ in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred ]seal[ and sixty- three, and of the Independence of the Unit- ^— v^ ed States of America the eighty-seventh. By the President : Abraham Lincoln. William H. Seward, Secretary of State. POLITICAL PLATFORMS. PLATFORM OF THE BRECKINRIDGE PARTY OF 1860. Eesolved^ That the platform adopted by the Democratic party at Cincinnati be affirmed, with the following explana- tory resolutions : 1. That the government of a territory organized by an act of Congress is provisional and temporary, and during its exis- tence all citizens of the United States have an equal right to settle with their property in the territory, without their rights, either in person or property, bemg destroyed by congressional or territorial legislation. 2. That it is the duty of the Federal Government, in all its departments, to protect the rights of persons and property in the territories, and wherever else its constitutional authority extends. 3. That when the settlers in a territory, having an adequate population, form a State Constitution, the right of sovereignty commences, and being consummated by their admission into the Union, they stand on an equality with the people of other States, and a State thus organized ought to be admitted into the Federal Union, whether its constitution prohibits or rec- ognizes the institution of slavery. 4. That the Democratic party are in favor of the acquisi- tion of Cuba, on such terms as shall be honorable to ourselves and just to Spain, at the earliest practicable moment. 5. That the enactments of State Legislatures to defeat the faithful execution of the Fugitive Slave Law are hostile in character, subversive of the Constitution, and revolutionary in their effect. 6. That the Democracy of the United States recognize it as an imperative duty of the government to protect the natural- (66) POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 67 ized citizen in all his rights, whether in home or in foreign lands, to the same extent as its native born citizens. Whereas, One of the greatest necessities of the age, in a political, commercial, postal, and military point of view, is a speedy communication between the Pacific and Atlantic coasts ; therefore, be it resolved, 7. That the National Democratic party do hereby pledge themselves to use every means in their power to secure the passage of some bill, to the extent of the Constitutional au- thority by Congress, for the construction of a railroad to the Pacific Ocean at the earliest practicable moment. PLATFORM OF THE DOUGLAS PAETY OF 1860. licsolved, That we, the Democracy of the Union in Conven- tion assembled, hereby declare our affirmation of the resolu- tions unanimously adopted and declared as a platform of prin- ciples by the Democratic Convention at Cincinnati, in the year 1856, believing that Democratic principles are unchanga- ble in their nature when applied to the same subject matter, and we recommend as our only further resolutions the follow- ing: That inasmuch as difierences of opinion exist in the Demo- cratic party as to the nature and extent of the powers of a Territorial Legislature, and as to the powers and duties of Con- gress, under the Constitution of the United States, over the institution of slavery in the territories ; Resolved^ That the Democratic party will abide by the de- cision of the Supreme Court of the United States over the in- stitution of slavery in the territories. Resolved^ That it is the duty of the United States to afi'ord ample and complete protection to all its citizens, at home or abroad, and whether native or foreign born. Resolved^ That one of the necessities of the age, in a mili- tary, commercial, and postal point of view, is a speedy com- munication between the Atlantic and Pacific States, and the Democratic party pledge such constitutional enactment as will insure the construction of a railroad to the Pacific coast at the earliest practical period. 68 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. Hesolved^ That the Democratic party are in favor of the ac- quisition of the Island of Cuba, on such terms as shall be hon- orable to ourselves and just to Spain. Resolved^ That the enactments of State Legislatures to de- feat the faithful execution of the Fugitive Slave Law are hos- tile m character, subversive to the Constitution, and revolu- tionary in their effect. Resolved, That it is in accordance with the Cincinnati Plat- form, that during the existence of Territorial Governments, the measure of restriction, whatever it may be, imposed by the Federal Constitution on the power of the Territorial Leg- islature over the subject of the domestic relations, as the same has been or shall hereafter be decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, should be respected by all good citizens, and enforced with promptness and fidelity by every branch of the General Government. THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM OF 1860. Resolved^ That we, the delegated representatives of the Ke- publican electors of the United States, in Convention assem- bled, in the discharge of the duty we owe to our constituents and our country, unite in the following resolutions ; 1. That the history of the nation during the last four years has fully established the propriety and necessity of the organ- ization and perpetuation of the Republican party, and that the causes which called it into existence are permanent in their nature, and now, more than ever, demand its peaceful and constitutional triumph. 2. That the maintenance of the principles promulgated in the Declaration of Independence, and embodied in the Federal Constitution, that " all men are created equal ; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are those of life, liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness, and that Governments are instituted among men to secure the enjoyment of these rights, deriving their just power from the consent of the governed" — are essential to the pres- ervation of our republican institutions, and that the Federal Constitution, the rights of the States, and the union of the States, must and shall be preserved. POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 59 3. That to the union of the States this nation owes its unpre- cedented increase in population, its surprising developments of material resources ; its rapid augmentation of wealth ; its happiness at home and its honor abroad; and we hold in abhorrence all schemes for disunion, come from whatever source they may ; and we congratulate the country that no Republican member of Congress has uttered or countenanced the threats of disunion as often made by the Democratic mem- bers of Congress, without rebuke and with applause from their political associates ; and we denounce those threats of disunion in case of a popular overthrow of their ascendency, as denying the vital principles of a free Government, and as an avowal of contemplated treason which it is the imperative duty of an indignant people sternly to rebuke and forever silence. 4. That the maintenance inviolate, of the rights of the States, and especially of each State, to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own judgment ex- clusively, is essential to that balance of power on which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric depends ; and we denounce the lawless invasion by armed force of the soil of any State or Territory, no matter under what pretext, as one of the gravest of crimes. 5. That the present Democratic Administration has far ex- ceeded our worst apprehensions in the measureless subserviency to the exactions of a sectional interest, as especially evinced in its desperate exertions to force the infamous Lecompton Constitution upon the protesting people of Kansas, construing the relation between master and servant to involve an unqual- ified property in persons ; in its attempted enforcement every where, on land and sea, through the intervention of Congress and of the Federal Courts, of the extreme pretensions of a purely local interest ; and in its general and unvarying abuse of the power entrusted to it by a confiding people. 6. That the people justly view with alarm the reckless ex- trava-gance which pervades every department of the Federal Government. That a return to right economy and accounta- bility is indispensible to arrest the plunder of the public treasury by favored partisans, while the recent startling devel- opments of frauds and corruption at the Federal metropolis show that an entire change of administration is imperatively demanded. 60 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 7. That the new dogma that the Constitution of its own force carries slavery into any or all the Territories of the United States, is a dangerous political heresy, at variance with the explicit provisions of that instrument itself, with cotempo- raneous exposition, and with legislative and judicial prece- dents, that it is revolutionary in its tendency and subversive of the peace and harmony of the country. S. That the nominal condition of all the territory of the United States is that of freedom; that as our Republican fath- ers, when they had abolished slavery in all our national terri- tory, ordained that no person should be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law, it becomes our duty hy legislation, whenever such legislation is necessary, to maintain this provision of the Constitution against all attempts to violate it; and we deny the authority of Congress, or a Ter- ritorial Legislature, or of any individual, to give legal existence to slavery in any Territory of the United States. 9. That we brand the recent re-opening of the African Slave Trade, under the cover of our national flag, aided by perver- sions of judicial power, as a crime against humanity, and a burning shame to our country and age; and we call upon Congress to take prompt and eflicient measures for the total and final suppression of that exercrable traffic. 10. That in the recent vetoes by their Federal Governors of the acts of the Legislatures of Kansas and Nebraska, pro- hibiting slavery in these Territories, we find a practical illustration of the boasted Democratic principles of non-inter- vention and Popular Sovereignty, embodied in the Kansas- Nebraska bill, and a demonstration of the deception and fraud involved therein. 11. That Kansas should, of right, be immediately admitted as a State under the Constitution recently formed and adopted by her people, and accepted by the House of Representatives. 12. That while providing revenue for the support of the General Government, by duties upon imports, sound policy requires such an adjustment of these imports as to encourage the development of the industrial interests of the whole country, and we commend that policy of National Exchange which secures to the working men liberal wages, agriculture remunerative prices, to merchants and manufacturers an ade- POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 61 I quale reward for their skill, labor and enterprise, and to the nation commercial prosperity and independence. 13. That we protest against any sale or alienation to others of the public lands held by actual settlers, and against any view of the free homestead policy, which regards the settlers as paupers or suppliants for public bounty, and we demand the passage by Congress of the complete and satisfactory homestead measure which has already passed the House. 14. That the National Republican party is opposed to any change in our naturalization laws, or any State Legislation, by which the rights of citizenship hitherto accorded to immigrants from foreign lands shall be abridged or impaired, and in favor of giving a full and efficient protection to the rights of all classes of citizens, whether native or naturalized, both at home and abroad. 15. That appropriations by Congress for river and harbor improvements of a national character, is required for the ac- commodation and security of an existing commerce, or au- thorized by the Constitution and justified by the obligation of the Government to protect the lives and property of its citizens. 16. That a railroad to the Pacific ocean is imperatively de- manded by the interests of the whole country ; and that the Federal Government ought to render immediate and efficient aid in its construction, and that preliminary thereto, a daily overland mail should be promptly established. 17. Finally, having thus set forth our distinctive principles and views, we invite the co-operation of all citizens, however diflfering in other questions, who substantially agree with us, in their affirmance and support. PLATFORM OF THE NATIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL PARTY OF 1860. The Union, the Constitution and the Laws. 62 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. UNION PLATFOEM, ADOPTED AT BALTIMORE, JUNE 8, 1864. Resolved^ That it is the highest duty of every American citizen to maintain against all its enemies, the integrity of the Union, and the paramount authority of the Constitution and laws of the United States, and that, laying all political opin- ions aside, we pledge ourselves, as Union men, animated by a common sentiment, and aiming at a common object, to do everything in our power to aid the Government in quelling, by force of arms, the rebellion now raging against its author- ity, and bringing to the punishment due to their crimes, the rebels and traitors arrayed against it. Resolved^ That we approve the determination of the Gov- ernment of the United States not to compromise with rebels or to offer any terms of peace, except such as may be based upon an unconditional surrender of their hostility, &c., and a return to their just allegiance to the Constitution and laws of the United States, and that we call upon the Government to maintain this position, and to prosecute the war with the ut- most possible vigor to the complete suppression of the rebel- lion, in full reliance upon the self-sacrifices, the patriotism, the heroic valor, and the undying devotion of the American people to their country and its free institutions. Resolved^ That slavery was the cause, and now constitutes the strength of the rebellion, and that as it must be always and everywhere hostile to the principles of Republican Gov- ernments, justice and the national safety demand its utter and complete extirpation from the soil of the Republic, and that we uphold and maintain the acts and proclamations by which theGovernment, in its own defence, has aimed a death blow at this gigantic evil. We are in favor, furthermore, of such an amendment to the Constitution, to be made by the people in conformity with its provisions, as shall terminate and for- ever prohibit the existence of slavery within the limits of the jurisdiction of the United States. Resolved^ That the thanks of the American people are due to the soldiers and sailors of the army and navy, who have periled their lives in defence of their country, and in vindi- cation of the honor of the flag ; that the nation owes them some permanent recognition of their patriotism and their valor, and ample and permanent provision for those of their survivors who have received disabling and honorable wounds POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 63 I in the service of their country, and that the memories of those who have fallen in its defense, shall be held in grateful and everlasting remembrance. Resolved, That we approve and applaud the political wis- dom, the unselfish patriotism and unswerving fidelity to the Constitution and the principles of American liberty with which Abraham Lincoln has discharged, under circumstances of unparalelled difficuly, the great duties and responsibilities of the Presidential office; that we approve and endorse, as demanded by the emergency and essential to the preservation of the nation, and as within tl^:e Constitution, the measures and acts which he has adopted to defend the nation against its open and secret foes; especially the Proclamation of Emanci- pation, and the employment, as Union soldiera, of men hereto- fore held in slavery, and that we have full confidence in his determination to carry these and all other Constitutional measures, essential to the salvation of the country, into full and complete efiect. Resolved, That we deem it essential to the general welfare, that harmony should prevail in the national councils, and we regard as worthy of public confidence and official trust those only who cordially endorse the principles proclaimed in these resolutions, and which should characterize the administration of the Government. Resolved, That the Government owes to all men employed in its armies, without distinction of color, the full protection of the laws of war, and any violation of these laws and of the usages of civilized nations in the time of war, by the rebels now in arms, should be made the subject of full and prompt redress. Resolved, That the foreign immigration, which in the past has added so much to the wealth and development of resources and increase of power to this nation, the asylum of the oppress- ed of all nations, should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy. Resolved, That we are in favor of the speedy construction of the railroad to the Pacific. Resolved, That the national faith is pledged for the redemp- tion of the public debt and must be kept inviolate; and that for this purpose we recommend economy and rigid responsi- bilities in the public expenditures, and a vigorous and just 64 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. system of taxation; that it is the duty of every loyal State to sustain the use of the national currency. Resolved^ That we approve the position taken by the Gov- ernment, that the people of the United States can never regard with indifference the attempt of European power to overthrow by force^ or to supplant by fraud, the institutions of any Re- publican government on the Western Continent, and that they will view with extreme jealousy, as menacing to the peace and independence of this our country, the efforts of any such power to obtain new footholds for monarchial governments sustained by a foreign military force in near proximity to the United States. FREMONT PLATFORM, ADOPTED AT CLEVELAND, MAY 31, 1864. 1. That the Federal Union must be preserved. 2. That the Constitution and laws of the United States must be observed and obeyed. 3. That the rebellion must be suppressed by the force of arms, and without compromise. 4. That the rights of Free Speech, Free Press, and the Habeas Corpus must be held inviolate, save in districts where martial law has been iDroclaimed. 5. That the rebellion has destroyed slavery, and the Fed- eral Constitution should be amended to prohibit its re-estab- lishment. 6. That the right for asylum, except for crime, and subject to law, is a recognized principle — a principle of American lib- erty; that any violation of it must not be overlooked, and must not go unrebuked. 7. That the National policy known as the Monroe doctrine has become a recognized principle, and that the establishment of an anti-republican form of government on this continent by a foreign power can not be tolerated. 8. That the gratitude and support of the nation is due to the faithful soldiers, and the earnest leaders of the Union army and navy, for their heroic achievements and valor in defense of our imperiled country and of civil liberty. 9. That the one term policy for the Presidency adopted by POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 65 the people is strengthened by the existing crisis, and shall be maintained by constitutional amendments. 10. That the Constitution shall be so amended that the President and Vice President shall be elected by a direct vote of the people. 11. That the reconstruction of the rebellious States belongs to the people through their representatives in Congress, and not to the Executive. 12. That the confiscation of the lands of the rebels and their distribution among the soldiers and actual settlers is a measure of justice ; that integrity and economy are demanded at all times in the measures of the government, and that now the want of this is criminal. NATI0:N'AL democratic platform of 1864. Resolved., That in the future, as in the past, we will adhere with unswerving fidelity to the Union under the Constitution as the only solid foundation of our strength, security and hap- piness as a people, and as a framework of government equally conducive to the welfare and prosperity of all the States, both Morthern and Southern. Resolved., That this Convention does explicitly declare, as the sense of the American people, that after four years of fail- ure to restore the Union by experiment of war, during which, under the pretence of military necessity or war power higher than the Constitution, the Constitution itself has been disre- garded in every part, and public liberty and private right alike trodden down, and the material prosperity of the country es- sentially impaired, justice, humanity, liberty and the public welfare demand that immediate efi"orts be made for a cessation of hostilities with a view to an ultimate convention of the States, or other peaceable means, to the end that at the earli- est practical moment peace may be restored on the basis of the Federal Union of the States. Resolved^ That the direct interference of the military au- thorities of the United States in the recent elections held in Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and Delaware was a shameful POLITICAL PLATFORMS. violation of the Constitution, and a repetition of such acts in the approaching election will be held as revolutionary, and re- sisted with all the means and power under our control. Resolved^ That the aim and object of the Democratic party is to preserve the Federal Union and the rights of the States unimpaired, and they hereby declare that they consider that the administrative usurpation of extraordinary and dangerous powers not granted by the Constitution, the subversion of the civil by military law in States not in insurrection, the arbi- trary military arrest, imprisonment, trial and sentence of American citizens in States where the civil law exists in full force, the suppression of freedom of speech and of the press, the denial of the right of asylum, the open and avowed right of disregard of State rights, the employment of unusual test oaths, and the interference with, and denial of the right of the people to bear arms in their defense, is calculated to prevent a restoration of the Union and a perpetuation of the Govern- ment deriving its just powers from the consent of the gov- erned. Resolved^ That the shameful disregard of the Administra- tion to its duty in respect to our fellow-citizens who now are, and long have been, prisoners of war in a suffering condition, deserves the severest reprobation on the score alike of public policy and common humanity. Resolved^ That the sympathy of the l)emocratic party is heartily and earnestly extended to the soldiery of our army and sailors of our navy who are and have been in the field and on the sea, under the flag of their country, and in the event of its attaining power, they will receive all the care, protec- tion and regard that the brave soldiers and sailors of the Re- public have so nobly earned. THE CHICAGO PLATFORM, 1868. The following is the platform as adopted: The National Republican Party of the United States, as- sembled in National Convention, in the city of Chicago, on the 20th day of May, 1868, make the following declaration of principles : 1. We congratulate the country on the assured success of I POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 67 the reconstruction policy of Congress, as evinced by the adoption, in the majority of the States lately in rebellion, of constitutions securing equal civil and political rights to all; and it is the duty of the Government to sustain those consti- tutions and to prevent the people of such States from being remitted to a state of anarchy. 2. The guarantee by Congress of equal suffrage to all loyal men at the South was demanded by every consideration of public safety, of gratitude, and of justice, and must be main- tained, while the question of suffrage in all the' loyal States properly belongs to the people of those States. 3. We denounce all forms of repudiation as a national crime, and the national honor requires the payment of the public indebtedness in the utmost good faith to all creditors at home and abroad, not only according to the letter but the spirit of the laws under which it was contracted. 4. It is due to the labor of the nation that taxation should be equalized and reduced as rapidly as the national faith will permit. 5. The national debt, contracted as it has been for the preservation of the Union for all time to come, should be ex- tended over a fair period for redemption; and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of interest thereon whenever it can be honestly done. 6. That the best policy to diminish our burden of debt is to so improve our credit that capitalists will seek to loan us money at lower rates of interest than we now pay, and must continue to pay, so long as repudiation, partial or total, open or covert, is threatened or suspected. 7. The Government of the United States should be admin- istered with the strictest economy, and the corruptions which have been so shamefully nursed and fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for radical reform. 8. We professedly deplore the untimely and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln, and regret the accession of Andrew Johnson to the Presidency, who has acted treacherously to the people who elected him, and the cause he was pledged to support — who has usurped high legislative and judicial func- tions—who has refused to execute the laws— who has used his high office to induce other officers to ignore and violate the laws — who has employed his executive powers to render inse- 68 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. cure the property, the peace, liberty, and life of the citizen — who has abused the pardoning power — who has denounced the National Legislature as unconstitutional — persistently and corruptly resisted, by every measure in his power, every proper attempt at the reconstruction of the States lately in rebellion — who has perverted the public patronage into an engine of wholesale corruption, and who has been justly im- peached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and properly pro- nounced guilty thereof by the vote of thirty-five Senators. 9. The doctrine of Great Britain and other European Pow- ers, that because a man is once a subject he is always so, must be resisted at every hazard by the United States as a relic of the feudal times, not authorized by the law of nations, and at war with our national honor and independence. Nat- uralized citizens are entitled to be protected in all their rights of citizenship as though they were native born ; and no citizen of the United States, native or naturalized, must be liable to arrest and imprisonment by any foreign power for acts done or words spoken in this country ; and if so arrested and imprisoned it is the diit^ yJl \?ii'e Government to interfere in his behalf. 10. Of all who were faithful in the trials of the late war there were none entitled to more especial honor than the brave soldiers and seamen who endured the hardships of cam- paign and cruise, and imperiled their lives in the service of the country. The bounties and pensions provided by the laws for these brave defenders of the nation are obligations never to be forgotten. The widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of the people, a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation's protecting care. 11. Foreign emigration, which in the past has added so much to the wealth, development, and resources and increase of power to this nation, the asylum of the oppressed of all nations, should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy. 12. This Convention declares itself in sympathy with all the oppressed people which are struggling for their rights. The following resolutions were also adopted unanimously, and are added to the declaration of principles : Resolved^ That we highly commend the spirit of magnan- imity and forgiveness with which the men who have served in POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 69 the rebellion, but now frankly and honestly co-operate with us in restoring the peace of the country and reconstructing the Southern State governments upon the basis of impartial justice and equal rights, are received back into the com- munion of the loyal people. And we favor the removal of the disqualifications and restrictions placed upon the late rebels in the same measure as the spirit of loyalty will direct, and as may be consistent with the safety of the loyal people. Resolved^ That we recognize the great principles laid down in the immortal Declaration of Independence as the true foundation of Democratic government ; and we hail with gladness every effort toward making these principles a living reality on every inch of American soil. f DEMOCEATIC PLATFORM OF 1868. The Democratic party, m National Convention assembled, reposing its trust in the intelligence, patriotism, and discrimi- nating justice of the people, standing upon the Constitution as the founda-tion and limitation of the powers of the Government and the guarantee of the liberties of the citizen, and recog- nizing the questions of slavery andsecession as having been set- tled for all time to come by the war or the voluntary action of the Southern States in Constitutional Conventions assembled, and never to be revived or re-agitated, do, with the return of peace, demand : 1. The immediate restoration of all the States to their rights in the Union under the Constitution of the civil Gov- ernment and in the American people. 2. Amnesty for all past political offenses ; the regulation of the elective franchise in the States by their citizens. 3. Payment of the public debt of the United States as rap- idl}^ as practicable, all money drawn from the people by taxa- tion, except so much as is requisite for the necessities of the Government economically administered being honestly ap- plied to such payment, and where the obligations of the Gov- ernment do not expressly state upon their face or the law under which thev were issued does not provide that they shall be paid in coin they ought, in right and justice, be paid in the lawful money of the United Slates. '40 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 4. Equal taxation of every species of property according to the value ; reducing Government bonds and other public securities. 5. One currency for the Government and the people, the laborer and the office-holder, pensioner and the soldier, the producer and the bondholder. 6. Economy in the administration ot the Government ; the reduction of the standing army and navy ; the abolition of the Freedmen's Bureau, and all political instrumentalities de- signed to secure negro supremacy; simplification of the system and discontinuance of inquisitorial modes of assessing and collecting internal revenue, that the burden of taxation may be equalized and lessened, and the credit of the Government and the currency made good ; the repeal of all enactments for enrolling the State militia into a national force in time of peace ; and a tariff for revenue upon foreign imports and such equal taxation under the internal revenue laws as will afford incidental protection to domestic manufactures as well, with- out impairing the revenue, impose the least burden upon and best promote and encourage the great industrial interests of the country. 7. Reform of abuses in the Administration ; the expulsion of corrupt men from office ; the abrogation of useless offices ; the restoration of the rightful authority to and the independ- ence of the Executive and Judicial Departments of the Gov- ernment ; the subordination of the military to the civil power, to the end that the usurpation of Congress and the despptism of the sword may cease. 8. Equal rights and protection for naturalized and native born citizens at home and abroad ; the assertion of American nationality, which will command the respect of foreign powers furnish an example and encouragement to people struggling for national integrity, constitutional liberty, and individual rights ; and the maintenance of the rights of naturalized citi- zens against the absolute doctrine of immutable allegiance and the claims of foreign powers to punish them for alleged crimes committed beyond their jurisdiction. In demanding these measures and reforms, we airaign the radical party for its disregard of right and the unparalleled oppression and tyranny which have marked its career, after the most solemn and unanimous pledge of both houses of Congress to prose- POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 71 cute the war exclusively for the maintenance of the Govern- ment and the preservation of the Union under the Constitu- tion. It has repeatedly violated that most sacred pledge under which was rallied that noble volunteer army which car- ried our flag to victory. Instead of restoring the Union it has, so far as it is in its power, dissolved it, and subjected ten States in time of peace to military despotism and negro supremacy. It has nullified there the right of trial by jury ; it has abolished the writ of habeas corpus, that most sacred writ of liberty ; it has overthrown the freedom of speech and of the press ; it has substituted arbitrary seizures and arrests, military trials, se- cret star chambers, and inquisitions for constitutional tribu- nals; it has disregarded, in time of peace, the right of the people to be free from search and seizure ; it has entered the post-office and telegraph office, and even the private rooms of individuals and seized there their private papers and letters, without any specification or notice of affidavit, as required by the organic law. It has converted the American Capitol into a bastile; it has established a system of spies and official espion- age to which the constitutional monarchies of Europe never dare to resort. It has abolished the right of appeal on important constitutional questions to the supreme judicial tribunals, and threatens to curtail or destroy its original juris- diction, which is irrevocably vested by the Constitution ; while the learned Chief Justice has been subjected to the most atro- cious calumnies merely because he would not prostitute his high office to the support of the false and partisan charges against the President. Its corruption and extravagance have exceeded anything known in history, and by its frauds and monopolies it has nearly doubled the burden of the debt cre- ated during the war. It has stripped the President of his Constitutional power of appointment even of his own Cabinet. Under its repeated assaults the pillars of the Grovernment are rocking to their base; and should it succeed in November next, and inaugurate its President, we will meet as a subjected and conquered people amid the ruins of liberty and the scat- tered fragments of the Constitution ; and we do declare and resolve that ever since the people of the United States threw off all subjection to the British crown, the privilege and trust of suffrage have belonged to the several States, and have been granted, regulated, and controlled exclusively by the political 73 1»0LITICAL PLATFORMS. power of each State respec4:ively, and any attempt by Con- gress, on any pretext whatever, to deprive any State of this right, or interfere with this exercise, is a flagrant usurpation of power which can find no warrant in the Constitution, and if sanctioned by the people will subvert our form of Govern- ment, and can only end in a single, centralized and consolidated Government, in which the separate existence of the States will be entirely absorbed, and an unqualified despotism then be established in place of a Federal Union of coequal States, and that we regard the reconstruction acts so called of Congress such usurpations and unconstitutional, revolutionary and void ; that our soldiers and sailors who carried the flag of our country to victory against a most gallant and determined foe must ever be gratefully remembered, and all the guarantees given in their favor must be faithfully carried into execution; that the public lands should be distributed widely among the people and should be disposed of either under the pre-emption of the homestead lands and sold in reasonable quantities, and to none but actual occupants, at the price established by the Govern- ment. When the grants of the public lands may be allowed necessary for the encouragement of important public improve- ments, the proceeds of the sale of such lands, and not the lands themselves, should be so applied ; that the President of the United States, Andrew Johnson, exercising the power of his high office in resisting the aggressions of Congress on the constitutional rights of the States and the people, is entitled to the gratitude of the whole American people, and on behalf of the Democratic party, we tender him our thanks for his patriotic efibrts in that regard. Upon this platform the Democratic party appeal to every patriot, including all the conservative element, and all who desire to support the Constitution and restore the Union, for- getting all past difierences of opinion, to unite with us in the present great struggle for the liberties of the people ; and that to all such, to whatever party they may have heretofore be- longed, we extend the right hand of fellowship, and hail all fiuch co-operating with us as friends and brothers. POLITICAL PLitfTFORMS. 73 KEPUBLICAN PLATFORM, 1872. The Kepublican party of the United States, assembled in national convention in the city of Philadelphia on the 5th and 6th days of Jtuie, 1872, again declares its faith, appeals to its history, and announces its position upon the questions before the country: 1. During eleven years of supremacy it has accepted with grand courage the solemn duties of the time. It suppressed a gigantic rebellion, emancipated four millions of slaves, de- creed the equal citizenship of all, and established universal suffrage. Exhibiting unparalelled magnanimity, it criminally punished no man for political offenses, and warmly welcomed all who proved loyalty by obeying the laws and dealing justly with their neighbors. It has steadily decreased with firm hand the resultant disorders of a great war, and initiated a wise and humane policy toward the Indians. The Pacific rail- road and similar vast enterprises have been generously aided and successfully conducted, the public lands freely given to actual settlers, immigration protected and encouraged, and a full acknowledgement of the naturalized citizen's rights se- cured from European Powers. A uniform national currency has been provided, repudiation frowned down, the national credit sustained under the most extraordinary burdens, and new bonds negotiated at lower rates. The revenues have been care- fully collected and honestly applied. Despite annual large reductions of the rates of taxation, the public debt has been re- duced during General Grant's Presidency at the rate of a hun- dred millions a year, great financial crises have been avoided, and peace and plenty prevail throughout the land. Menacing foreign difficulties have been peacefully and honorably com- posed, and the honor and power of the nation kept in high respect throughout the world. This glorious record of the past is the party's best pledge for the future. We beUeve the people will not intrust the Government to any party or combination of men composed chiefly of those who have re- sisted every step of this benificent progress. 2. The recent amendments to the national Constitution should be cordially sustained because they are right, not 74 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. merely tolerated because they are law, and should be carried out according to their spirit by appropriate legislation, the enforcement of which can safely be intrusted only to the party that secured those amendments. 3. Complete liberty and exact equality in the enjoyment of all civil, political and public rights should be established and effectually maintained throughout the Union by efficient and appropriate State and Federal legislation. Neither the law nor its administration should admit any discrimination in respect of citizens by reason of race, creed, color, or previous condition of servitude. 4. The national Government should seek to maintain hon- orable peace with all nation , protecting its citizens every- where and sympathizing with all peoples who strive for greater liberty. 5. Any system of the civil service under which the subor- dinate positions of the government are considered rewards for mere party zeal is fatally demoralizing, and we therefore favor a reform of the system by laws which shall abolish the^vils of patronage and make honesty, efficiency, and fidelity the essential qualifications for public positions, without creating a life tenure of office. 6. We are opposed to further grants of the public lands to corporations and monopolies, and demand that the national domain be set apart for free homes for the people. 7. The annual revenue, after paying current expenditures, pensions, and the interest on the public debt, should furnish a moderate balance for the reduction of the principal, and that revenue, except so much as may be derived from a tax upon tobacco and liquors, should be raised by duties upon im- portations, the details of which should be so adjusted as to aid in securing remunerative wages to labor, and promote the industries, prosperity, and growth of the whole country. 8. We hold in undying honor the soldiers and sailors whose valor saved the Union. Their pensions are a sacred debt of the nation, and the widows and orphans of those who died for their country are entitled to the care of a generous and grate- ful people. We favor such additional legislation as will ex- tend the bounty of the Government to all our soldiers and POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 75 sailors who were honorably discharged, and who in the line of duty became disabled, without regard to the length of ser- vice or the cause of such discharge. 9. The doctrine of Great Britain and other European Pow- ers concerning allegiance — "once a subject always a subject" — having at last through the efforts of the Republican party been abandoned, and the American idea of the individual's right to transfer allegiance having been accepted by Euro- pean nations, it is the duty of our Government to guard with jealous care the rights of adopted citizens against the assump- tion of unauthorized claims by their former Governments, and we urge continued careful encouragement and protec- tion of voluntary immigration. 10. The franking privilege ought to be abolished, and the way prepared for a speedy reduction in the rates of postage. 11 Among the questions which press for attention is that which concerns the relations of capital and labor, and the Republican party recognizes the duty of so shaping legis- lation as to secure full protection and the amplest field for capital, and for labor, the creator of capital, the largest oppor- tunities and a just share of the mutual profits of these two great servants of civilization. 12. We hold that Congress and the President have only fulfilled an imperative duty in their measures for the sup- pression of violent and treasonable organizations in certain lately rebellious regions, and for the protection of the ballot- box; and therefore they are entitled to the thanks of the nation. 13. We denounce repudiation of the public debt, in any form or disguise as a national crime. We witness with pride the reduction of the principal of the debt, and the rates of in- terest upon the balance, and confidently expect that our ex- cellent national currency will be perfected by a speedy re- sumption of specie payment. 14. The Republican party is mindful of its obligations to the loyal women of America for their noble devotion to the cause of freedom. Their admission to wider fields of useful- ness is viewed with satisfaction ; and the honest demand of 76 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. any class of citizens for additional rights should be treated with respectful consideration. 15. We heartily approve the action of Congress in extend- ing amnesty to those lately in rebellion, and rejoice in the growth of peace and fraternal feeling throughout the land. 16. The Republican party proposes to respect the rights reserved by the people to themselves as carefully as the powers delegated by them to the State and to the Federal Government. It disapproves of the resort to unconstitutional laws for the purpose of removing evils, by interference with rights not surrendered by the people to either the State or na- tional Government. 17. It is the duty of the General Government to adopt such measures as may tend to encourage and restore American commerce and ship-building. 18. We believe that the modest patriotism, the earnest pur- pose, the sound judgment, the practical wisdom, the incor- ruptible integrity, and the illustrious services of Ulysses S. Grant have commended him to the heart of the American people, and with him at our head we start to day upon a new march to victory. 19. Henry Wilson, nominated for the Vice-Presidency, known to the whole land from the early days of the great struggle for liberty as an indefatigable laborer in all cam- paigns, an incorruptible legislator and representative man of American institutions, is worthy to associate with our great leader and share the honors which we pledge our best efforts to bestow upon them. NATIONAL LIBERAL KEPUBLICAN CONVENTION, 1872. ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. The Administration now in power has rendered itself guilty of wanton disregard of the laws of the land, and of usurping powers not granted by the Constitution ; it has acted as if the laws had binding force only for those who are governed, and not for those who govern. It has thus struck a blow at the fundamental principles of constitutional government and the liberties of the citizen. POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 77 The President of the United States has openly used the powers and opportunities of his high office for the promotion of personal ends. He has kept notoriously corrupt and unworthy men in places of power and responsibility, to the detriment of the public interest. He has used the public service of the Government as a machinery of corruption and personal influence, and has inter- fered with tyrannical arrogance in the political affairs of States and municipalities. He has rewarded with influential and lucrative offices men who had acquired his favor by valuable presents, thus stimu lating the demoralization of our political life by his conspicu- ous example. He has shown himself deplorably unequal to the task im- posed upon him by the necessities of the country, and culpa- bly careless of the responsibilities of his high office. The partizans of the Administration, assuming to be the Republican party and controlling its organization, have at- tempted to justify such wrongs and palliate such abuses to the end of maintaining partisan ascendency. They have stood in the way of necessary investigations and indispensable reforms, pretending that no serious fault could be found with the present administration of public affairs, thus seeking to blind the eyes of the people. They have i^ept alive the passions and resentment of the late civil war, to use them for their own advantage, they have resorted to arbitrary measures in direct conflict with the organic law, instead of appealing to the better instincts and latent patriotism of the Southern people by restoring to them these rights, the enjoyment of which is indispensable to a suc'^essful administration of their local affairs, and would tend to revive a patriotic and hopeful national feeling. They have degraded themselves and the name of their party, once justly entitled to the confidence of the nation, by a base sycophancy to the dispenser of executive power and patron- age, unworthy of republican freemen; they have sought to silence the voice of just criticism, and stifle the moral sense of the people, and to subjugate public opinion by tyrannical party discipline. They are striving to maintain themselves in authority for 78 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. selfish ends by an unscrupulous use of the power which right- fully belongs to the people, and should be employed only in the service of the country. Believing that an organization thus led and controlled can no longer be of service to the best interests of the Republic, we have resolved to make an independent appeal to the sober judgment, conscience, and patriotism of the American people. RESOLUTIONS. We, the Liberal Eepublicans of the United States, in National Convention assembled at Cincinnati, proclaim the following principles as essential to just government: 1. We recognize the equality of all men before the law, and hold that it is the dut> of government, in its dealings with the people, to mete out equal and exact justice to all, of whatever nativity, race, color, or persuasion, religious or political. 2. We pledge ourselves to maintain the Union of these States, emancipation and enfranchisement, and to oppose any re-opening of the questions settled by the thirteenth, four- teenth, and fifteenth amendments of the Constitution. 3. We demand the immediate and absolute removal of all disabilities imposed on account of the rebellion, which was finally subdued seven years ago, believing that universal am- nesty will result in complete pacification in all sections of the country. 4. Local self-government, with impartial suffrage, will guard the rights of all citizens more securely than any centralized power. The public welfare requires the supremacy of the civil over the military authority, and the freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corpus. We demand for the indi- vidual the largest liberty consistent with public order, for the State self-government, and for the nation a return to the methods of peace and the constitutional limitations of power. 5. The civil service of the Government has become a mere instrument of partisan tyranny and personal ambition, and an object of selfish greed. It is a scandal and reproach upon free institutions, and breeds a demoralization dangerous to the perpetuity of republican government. We therefore regard a thorough reform of the civil service as one of the most press- ing necessities of the hour ; that honesty, capacity, and fidelity POLITICAL PLATrOBMS. 79 constitute the only valid claims to public employment ; that the offices of the Government cease to be a matter of arbitrary favoritism and patronage, and that public station sliall become again a post of honor. To this end it is imperatively required that no President shall be a candidate for re election. 6. We demand a system of Federal taxation which shall not unnecessarily interfere with the industry of the people, and which shall provide the means necessary to pay the ex- penses of the Government, economically administered, the pensions, the interest on the public debt, and a moderate reduction annually of the principal thereof; and recognizing that there are in our midst honest but irreconcilable differ- ences of opinion with regard to the respective systems of protection and free trade, we remit the discussion of the sub- ject to the people in their congressional districts and the decision of Congress thereon, wholly free from executive inter- ference or dictation. 7. The public credit must be sacredly maintained, and we denounce repudiation in every form and guise. 8. A speedy return to specie payments is demanded alike by the highest considerations of commercial morality and honest government. 9. We remember with gratitude the heroism and sacrifices of the soldiers and sailors of the Republic, and no act of ours shall ever detract from their justly earned fame or the full rewards of their patriotism. 10. We are opposed to all further grants of lands to rail- roads or other corporations. The public domain should be held sacred to actual settlers. 11. We hold that is the duty of the Government in its inter- course with foreign nations to cultivate the friendships of peace by treating with all on fair and equal terms, regarding it alike dishonorable either to demand what is not right or submit to what is wrong. 12. For the promotion and success of these vital principles and the support of the candidates nominated by this conven- tion we invite and cordially welcome the co-operation of all patriotic citizens, without regard to previous political affili- ations. 80 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION, 1872. We, the Democratic electors of the United States in Con- vention assembled, do present the following principles, already adopted at Cincinnati, as essential to just government. 1. We recognize the equality of all men before the law, and hold that it is the duty of Government in its dealings with the people to mete out equal and exact justice to all, of whatever nativity, race, color, or persuasion, religious or political. 2. We pledge ourselves to maintain the union of these States, emancipation, and enfranchisement, and to oppose any re-opening of the questions settled by the thirteenth, four- teenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. 3. We demand the immediate and absolute removal of all disabilities imposed on account of the rebellion, which was finally subdued seven years ago, believing that universal am- nesty will result in complete pacification in all sections of the country. 4. Local self-government, with impartial sufi'rage, will guard the rights of all citizens more securely than any cen- tralized power. The public welfare requires the supremacy of the civil over the military authority, and freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corpus. We demand for the individual the largest liberty consistent with public order ; for the State self-government, and for the nation a re- turn to the methods of peace and the constitutional limita- tions of power. 5. The civil service of the Government has become a mere instrument of partisan tyranny and personal ambition, and an object of selfish greed. It is a scandal and reproach upon free institutions and breeds a demoralization dangerous to the perpetuity of republican government. We therefore re- gard a thorough reform of the civil service as one of the most pressing necessities of the hour ; that honesty, capacity, and fidelity constitute the only valid claim to public employ- ment; that the offices of the government cease to be a mat- ter of arbitrary favoritism and patronage, and that public station become again a post of honor. To this end it is im- peratively required that no President shall be a candidate lor re-election. POLITICAL PLATFORMS. ^ 6. We demand a system of Federal taxation which shall not unnecessarily interfere with the industry of the people, and which shall provide the means necessary to pay the ex- penses of the Government, economically administered, the pensions, the interest on the public debt, and a moderate re- duction annually of the principal thereof; and recognizing that there are in our midst honest but irreconcilable differ- ences of opinion with regard to the respective systems of protection and free trade, we remit the discussion of the sub- ject to the people in their Congressional districts, and to the decision of the Congress thereon, wholly free from executive interference or dictation. 7.

"We remember with gratitude the heroism and sacrifices of the soldiers and sailors of the Republic, and no act of ours shall ever detract from their justly earned fame for the full reward of their patriotism. 10. We are opposed to all further grants of lands to rail- roads or other corporations. The public domain should be held sacred to actual settlers. 11. We hold that it is the duty of the Government in its intercourse with foreign nations to cultivate the friendships of peace, by treating with all on fair and equal terms, regard- ing it alike dishonorable either to demand what is not right or to submit to what is wrong. 12. For the promotion and success of these vital princi- ples, and the support of the candidates nominated by this convention, we invite and cordially welcome the co-operation of all patriotic citizens, without regard to previous political affiliations. NATIONAL LABOR REFOEM CONVENTION, 1872. We hold that all political power is inherent in the people, and free government founded on their authority and estab- lished for their b^^neAt ; that all citizens are equal in political 6 82 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. rights, entitled to the largest religious and political liberty compatible with the good order of society, as also the use and enjoyment of the fruits of their labor and talents ; and no man or set of men is entitled to exclusive separable endowments and privileges, or immunities from the Government, but in consideration of public services ; and any laws destructive of these fundamental principles are without moral binding force, and should be repealed. And believing that all the evils re- sulting from unjust legislation now affecting the industrial classes can be removed by the adoption of the principle con- tained in the following declaration : Therefore, Resolved^ That it is the duty of the Government to estab- lish a just standard of distribution of capital and labor by providing a purely national circulating medium, based on the faith and resources of the nation, issued directly to the people without the intervention of any system of banking corpora- tions, which money shall be legal tender in the payment of all debts, public and private, and interchangeable at the option of the holder for Government bonds bearing a rate of interest not to exceed 3-65 per cent., subject to future legislation by Congress. 2. That the national debt should be paid in good faith, ac- cording to the original contract, at the earliest option of the Government, without mortgaging the property of the people or the future exigencies of labor to enrich a few capitalists at home and abroad. 3. That justice demands that the burden of Government should be so adjusted as to bear equally on all classes, and that the exemption from taxation of Government bonds bear- ing extravagant rates of interest is a violation of all just prin- ciples of revenue laws. 4. That the public lands of the United States belong to the people and should not be sold to individuals nor granted to corporations, but should be held as a sacred trust for the ben- efit of the people, and should be granted to landless settlers only, in amounts not exceeding one hundred and sixty acres of land. 5. That Congress should modify the tariff so as to admit free such articles of common use as we can neither produce nor grow, and lay duties for revenue mainly upon articles of luxury and upon such articles of manufacture as will, we hav- POLITICAL PLATFORMS. ing the raw materials, assist in further developing the re- sources of the country. 6. That the presence in our country of Chinese laborers, imported by capitalists in large numbers for servile use, is an evil, entailing want and its attendant train of misery and crime on all classes of the American people, and should be prohib- ited by legislation. 7. That we ask for the enactment of a law by which all mechanics and day-laborers employed by or on behalf of the Government, whether directly or indirectly, through persons, firms, or corporations, contracting with the State, shall conform to the reduced standard of eight hours a day, recently adopted by Congress for national employes, and also for an amendment to the acts of incorporation for cities and towns by which all laborers and mechanics employed at their expense shall con- form to the same number of hours. 8. That the enlightened spirit of the age demands the abo- lition of the system of contract labor in our prisons and other reformatory institutions. 9. That the protection of life, liberty, and property are the three cardinal principles of Government, and the first two are more sacred than the latter ; therefore money needed for prosecuting wars should, as it is required, be assessed and col- lected from the wealthy of the country, and not entailed as a burden on posterity. 10. That it is the duty of the Government to exercise its power over railroads and telegraph corporations, that they shall not in any case be privileged to exact such rates of freight, transportation, or charges, by whatever name, as may bear unduly or unequally upon the producer or consumer. 11. That there should be such a reform in the civil service of the national Government as will remove it beyond all part- isan influence, and place it in the charge and under the direc- tion of intelligent and competent business men. 12. That as both history and experience teaches us that power ever seeks to perpetuate itself by every and all means, and that its prolonged possession in the hands of one person is always dangerous to the interests of a free people, and believing that the spirit of our organic laws and the stability and safety of our free institutions are best obeyed on the one 84 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. hand, and secured on the other, by a regular constitutional change in the chief of the country at each election : therefore, we are in favor of limiting the occupancy of the presidential chair to one term. 13. That we are in favor of granting general amnesty and restoring the Union at once on the basis of equality of rights and privileges to all, the impartial administration of justice being the only true bond of union to bind the States together and restore the Government of the people. 14. That we demand the subjection of the military to the civil authorities, and the confinement of its operations to national purposes alone. 15. That we deem it expedient for Congress to supervise the patent laws, so as to give labor more fully the benefit of its own ideas and inventions. 16. That fitness, and not political or personal considera- tions, should be the only recommendation to public office, either appointive or elective, and any and all laws looking to the establishment of this principle are heartily approved. THE BAXTER LIQUOR LAW. AN ACT to regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors ; to provide against evils resulting from any sale thereof; to furnish remedies for damages suffered by any person in consequence of such sale; prescribing penal ties; to repeal all laws contravening t»e provisions of this act, and declaring an emergency. ^ [Approved February 27, 1873.] Section 1. Be it enacted ly the General Assembly of the State of Indiana^ That it shall be unlawful for any person or persons, by himself or agent, to sell, barter, or give away for any purpose of gain, to any person whomsoever, any intoxi- cating liquors to be drunk in, upon, or about the building or premises where the liquor is sold, bartered, or given away, or in any room, building, or premises adjoining to or connected with the place where the liquor is sold, bartered, or given away for the purpose of gain, until such person or persons shall have obtained a permit therefor from the board of com- missioners of the county where he resides, as hereinafter provided. Sec. 2.

The board shall examine such petition, and if satisfied the same is in proper form, and that it has been signed as hereinbefore required, shall direct a permit to be issued under the hand and seal of said auditor, and delivered to the person named in such permit, upon his complying with the provisions of this act and paying the costs of filing and recording said petition and costs of issuing said permit. Sec. 3. Before the granting of a permit by tne board of commissioners, the applicant shall cause to be executed and properly acknowledged before an officer authorized to take acknowledgment of deeds, a bond payable to the State of Indiana, in the sum of three thousand dollars, with good free- hold security thereon of not less than two persons, to be ap- proved by the board of commissioners, and conditioned for the payment of any and all fines, penalties and forfeitures incurred by reason of the violation of any of the provisions of this act; and conditioned further, that the principal and sureties therein named shall be jointly and severally liable, and shaH pay to any person or persons, any and all damages which shall in any manner be suflered by or inflicted upon any such person or persons, either in person or property, or means of support, by reason of any sale or sales of intoxicating liquors to any person, by the person receiving such permit or by any of his agents or employees. Separate suits may be brought on said bond by the person or persons injured, but the aggregate amount recovered thereon shall not exceed the said sum of three thousand dollars, and in case the amount of said bond shall be exhausted by recoveries thereon, a new bond in the same pen- alty and with like sureties shall be filed within ten days, and in default thereof said permit shall be deemed to be revoked. Such bond, after its approval by the board of commissioners, shall be filed in the office of the auditor of the county, and shall be re •••••' 603 Thorntown, Boone county li^26 Delphi, Carroll county 1,614 Browntown, Cass county ^03 Logansport, Cass county 8,950 West Logan, Cass county ^'° Charleston, Clarke county 2,204 Jeffersonville, Clarke county 7,254 Brazil, Clay county 2,186 Staunton, Clay county ^^"^ Knightsville, Clay county 1.071 Harmony, Clay county ^^7 Bowling Green, Clay county 606 Frankfort, Clinton county 1.300 Leavenworth, Crawford county 567 Washington, Daviess county 2,901 Aurora, Dearborn county 3,304 Cochran, Dearborn county 675 Lawrenceburg, Dearborn county 3,159 Moore's Hill, Dearborn county 617 Waterloo, DeKalb county 1.259 Auburn, DeKalb county ^'* Muncie, Delaware county 2.992 122 STATISTICAL.

A few years after this another young lady who afterwards became the wife of Samuel Bradburn, suggested the idea of Sabbath Schools to Robert Rakes. He being a man of quick perception and great energy saw at once the ad- vantages to be gained by schools of this kind. He immedi- ately set to work and organized a school in the city of Glou- cester, England, and through his labors and influence other cities of that country were induced to establish Sabbath Schools and work for the Sunday School interest. The first Sabbath School established in the United States was organized by Bishop Asbury, in the year 1786, in Hanover County, Ya., at the house of Mr. Thomas Cranshaw. The pro- gress of Sabbath Schools in the United States until about the year 1830, was rather slow, as but few of the Christian denom- inations up to that time had become interested in the Sunday School cause. But one by one, the different organizations of Christians have gradually adopted the institution of Sabbath Schools, till now, the popular method of all churches for the religious training of the young is the Sunday School. Now, in every land and nation, where Christian people reside, the Sabbath School cause is advancing. The organization of Sabbath Schools, Kemember one and all, Was first established in Wycumbe, By Miss Hannah Ball. After this Miss Bradburn Suggested to Robert Rakes To organize a Sabbath School, And helped him set the stakes. a25) 126 SABBATH SCHOOLS.

For Toothache^ Headache., Neuralgia^ and Rheumatio Pains.— Mdi^Q a liniment of the following preparations: One ounce of tincture of Amonia, one ounce tincture of cam- phor, one ounce oil of organum, one-half ounce oil of cedar, one ounce oil of hemlock, and one quart linseed oil ; mix all together, put it in a bottle and shake well. Directions for using. Apply the liniment freely to the affected parts, and rub and bathe it as often as three or four times daily. For the toothaehe, put a little on a piece of cotton, and put it in the tooth, and rub it on the jaw of the patient. I have found this to be one of the best liniments in use. For Cuts and Bruises on Man or Beast. — Take two ounces tincture of camphor, two ounces linseed oil, one ounce of tur- pentine ; mix all together, and apply to the affected parts. For Pickling Beef. — To 100 pounds of beef take one gal- lon of salt, three-fourths of a pound of sugar, three ounces black pepper ground ; add together, put all in a kettle con- taining three gallons of water ; boil slowly, and skim occa- sionally.

According to promise, we pen the following- sketch of the past and present history of Henry county. Although the facts and items of information that we have collected are limited and hurriedly compiled, yet we hope that they will give satisfaction to our patrons, and help to preserve the memory of the old pioneer settlers, who withstood the privations and hardships of a pioneer life in the first settling of this county, whose memory should be retained in the minds and hearts of this people. The majority of the first settlers have long since passed off this stage of action, and now there are but few left as monu- ments of the past ; some of whom it has been our privilege to question in regard to the first settlement of this county, and to whom we return our thanks for the information that we have received from them. We also feel ourselves under many obhgations to the present clever county officials, through whose kindness and assistance we were permitted to make an examination of the records, from which we have obtained many of the facts which are to be found in the following pages. We also feel ourselves indebted to Elwood Please, the author of a History of Henry county, for information received from said history ; and, by the way, said history is from the pen of an able and worthy writer, finished in good style, devoted en- 132 PREFACE. tirely to the history of the county, and should be in the hands of every citizen. And to the citizens of the county in general we return our thanks for the social manner in which they received our can- vassers, and for their liberal patronage for this book, hoping that it may give them satisfaction and prove worthy of their patronage. HISTORICAL SKETCH OF he:^rtcounty In the year 1821 the Legislature of the State of Indiana de- scribed the boundaries, named the county, and declared it to be from and after the 21st day of June, 1821, a separate and inde- pendent county, subject only to the State of Indiana. They gave it the name of Henry, in honor of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence — a patriot and statesman — Patrick Henry. Henry county is near the east hne of the State, not far from the center from north to south, and is bounded as follows : On the east by Randolph and Wayne counties ; on the south by Fayette and Rush ; on the west by Hancock and Madison, and on the north by Delaware ; and contains about three hundred and ninety square miles, or two hundred and forty-nine thousand six hundred acres of land (249,600), and is watered by Blue River, Duck Creek, Flatrock Creek, Sugar Creek, Stony Creek, Fall Creek, and many other small streams and spring branches. This county being so well supplied with stock water, in connec- tion with its great amount of fine rolling farming lands, has made this a great resort for the stock raiser and model farmer. The surface of most parts of this county is rolling, with a few small breaks along the streams ; yet there is but very little waste land in the county but what can be cultivated or made profitable for grazing. The soil of this county, with very little exception, is 134 HENRY COUNTY. rich and productive. Wheat, rye, oats, barley, Indian corn and all kinds of grain and vegetables do well here, while blue grass, timothy and other grasses seem to be a spontaneous growth of the county. Apples, peaches, pears, cherries, and in fact all kinds of fruit, large or small, that are grown in this kind of a cli mate, are to a considerable extent cultivated here, and I think that the horticulturist can receive as profitable returns for his labor here as in any other part of Indiana. The timber of the county is of fine quality, consisting of maple, walnut, poplar, oak, and other varieties. From the first settling of the county up to the present time there has been great waste of timber, but still there is enough, if taken care of, to last the county for a great many years for all necessary purposes. The gravel and sand beds of this county are numerous, and almost inexhaust- ible; and in some parts of the county there is a considerable supply of limestone rock. THE FIRST SETTLERS. The settlement of this county began in the year 1819; prior to this time all the territory of this county was in possession o the Indians; but in 18 18 the United States Government nego- tiated a treaty with the Indians, purchased their lands and made this county, along with other portions of Central Indiana, sub- ject to settlement by the whites. Some of the first settlers of this county we will make mention of, hoping that they will be held in remembrance as pioneers who withstood the toil and privations incident to the pioneer life. It being impossible to give them in the order of their coming, I well pen them down as follows : Andrew Shannon, George Hobson, Asel Woodard, Allen Shepherd, Wm. Shannon, Benjamin Harvey, George and Charles See, Moses Keens, Josiah Morris, J. R. Leakey, Daniel Paul, Jonathan Bundy, Daniel Jackson, Thos. Greenstreet, Samuel Carr, Allen Hunt, A. Heaton, John Huff, W. M. Carey, Jacob Woods, Roderick Craig, Wm. Owen, John Hart, HISTORICAL SKETCH. I 35 William Harvey, Samuel Howard, Uriah Bulla, J. P.

The first County Commissioners were appointed by the Leg- islature, in the year 1821, and, by the way, were all citizens of other counties, namely : Richard Biern, of Jackson ; John Sample, of Fayette, and J. W. Scott, of Union. Said Commis- sioners met at the house of Joseph Hobson, which was located about two miles south of where Newcastle now stands. They located the county seat and made all the necessary arrangements for holding an election to elect the first county officers. The first elected County Commissioners were Wm. Shannon, Samuel Goble and Allen Shepherd. The first Clerk of the county was Rene Julian, who did the business of both Clerk and Recorder, besides having considerable time to spare from his office to work in the cornfield or clearing. The first Sheriff of the county was J. H. Healy, by appointment ; he was also the first elected Sheriff. The first Associate Judges of the county were Elisha Long, and T. R. Stanford. The first Court held in the county was held at the house of Joseph Hobson. The first Treasurer of the county was Wm. Shannon, and the first Prosecuting Attorney was Lot Bloomfield. The office of Auditor, for this county, was not called into existence, as a separate office, until the year 1840. The first Auditor elected was James Iliff The first County Surveyor was Thomas R. Stanford, who held the position for twenty years. The first Judge of the Common Pleas Court was M. L. Bundy. The first newspaper published in the county was published at Knightstown. The Newcastle Banner was the first paper published at Newcastle, which was established by J. B. Swayze in 1836. The first church built in the county was 136 HENRY COUNT\, the Friend's meeting house, erected, according to the best information I am in possession of, in the year 1824. Prior to the year 18 18 this county was in possession of the Indians ; its inhabitants were the savage red man and the wild beasts of the forests. No white man had as yet settled on her soil ; no trace of civilization could here be found ; no vestige of a cabin or dwelling, save now and then an Indian wigwam. Not a tree had been felled by the settler's ax ; the underbrush was matted with thorns, briars and brambles, and the streams were choked with driftwood to overflowing ; green ponds stood full of stagnant water, the home of the bull frog, mud turtle and water snake ; all things, then, in a state of nature, it surely was a gloomy prospect to the first settlers of this county. In the year 18 19 a few settlements were made, and gradually the tide of emigration kept coming until in 1821 she had sufficient population to form a county organization. After the organiza- tion of the county, emigration from the State of North Carolina and other States of the Union became more general, and in less than nine years after the organization she had grown in popula- tion to six thousand four hundred and ninety-seven, as shown by the census report for 1830; in 1840, her population was fifteen thousand one hundred and twenty-eight; in 1850, seventeen thousand six hundred and five; in i860, twenty thousand one hundred and nineteen; in 1870, twenty-two thousand nine hun- dred and eighty-six ; and to-day at least twenty-four thousand inhabitants people this county. Her vote has increased in the same ratio as her population;, while her increase in wealth, im- provements and enterprise have more than kept pace with her numbers. Education, morality and temperance have been on the increase. Her old log school-houses and churches have gone to decay and are things of the past. She now has fine academies, seminaries, school-houses, churches, and temples of worship, dotted all over the county ; in the place of her first two hundred and fifty dollar court house, she now has one of HISTORICAL SKETCH. 13/ the finest and most beautiful court houses in the State, which has cost the county one hundred and twenty thousand dollars, which is an ornament to the county and a credit to her citizens. The first jail of the county was built at a cost of forty dollars ; the present jail cost forty thousand dollars ; while all other pub- lic improvements of the county are in unison and harmonize with the present court house and jail. ROADS AND MARKETS. The first settlers of the county kept track of their roads prin- cipally by blazing the timber as a guide to direct them on their course. Wagons were very seldom brought into use, the princi- pal part of the travel being done on foot ; and the only markets needed in that day were for the fur traders, who bought their pelts and fur skins, and sold them a few articles of dry goods, tobacco and whisky ; but the gradual improvement of the county and the extension of their fields made it necessary that they should have a market for their surplus produce, and consequently they had to hunt a more distant market, thereby causing them to open better roads that could be traveled with wagons. Their markets for several years were Cincinnati and Lawrenceburg ; but now almost every road in the county is graveled or turn- piked, and every farmer in the county has a market at his own door-yard, and instead of traveling at the rate of from one to three miles an hour by the old process, we now travel at the rate of thirty miles an hour by steam, and instead of waiting six or eight days to get an answer to a letter from Cincinnati or Indi- anapolis, we now get it the same day, and in case we are in a hurry we communicate by telegraph at lightning speed. There are now in the county four railroads, making a total of near seventy miles of road. AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS. For several years the first settlers of this county could not depend altogether on the agricultural products of the county for support. The amount of cleared land was not sufficient to sup- 138 HENRY COUNTY. ply their demands ; therefore they had to resort to the trap and the gun to supply the meat for their tables; but this state of affairs did not last long. They kept clearing the land and cul- tivating the fields until they had a sufficient supply, and of some articles a great surplus; and she now has one hundred and fifty thousand acres of improved land, valued at thirteen million dol- lars, and she raises annually over six hundred thousand bushels of winter wheat; near two thousand bushels of rye ; over one million bushels of Indian corn ; one hundred thousand bushels of oats; five thousand seven hundred bushels of barley; sixty- five thousand pounds of wool; fifty-three thousand bushels of Irish potatoes; three hundred and eighty-five thousand pounds of butter, and over ten thousand tons of hay ; besides thousands of dollars worth of vegetables. DOMESTIC ANIMALS. The total estimated value of all the domestic animals of the county, in the year 1824, would have reached but a very few thousand dollars. The estimate can not be had, as the pa- pers and records of the county were burned with the court house that was burned down in the year 1864; but to-day the total estimate of live stock will reach near two millions of dol- lars. The estimate for 1870 was one million six hundred and forty- five thousand seven hundred and one dollars. The number of horses in the county the same year was 7,550; number of mules and asses, 1,176; number of milch cows, 5,492; number of work oxen, 221; number of sheep, 21,460; number of swine, 30,380. MANUFACTURING ESTABLISHMENTS. The only manufacturing establishments of any note that could be found in this county, until about the year 1830, was the old- fashioned horse mill for grinding corn, and now and then a water mill for the same purpose. Steam power was not known to the citizens of this county; the noise of a steam whistle then HISTORICAL SKETCH. 139 would have created more excitement than the scream of the panther or the howl of a dozen wolves. But the age of steam power soon changed the scene; manufacturing shops soon sprang up all over this land, and Henry county now has over two hundred establishments, consisting of woolen mills, grist mills, saw mills, sash and door factories, planing mills, furniture establishments and other manufactories too tedious to mention. She has thirty-eight steam engines in operation, and twenty-tvvo water wheels ; said establishments employ six hundred hands, and consume over four hundred thousand dollars' worth of raw material annually, and produce about one million dollars' worth of manufactured articles. TOWNS AND VILLAGES. Since the year 1822 the towns and villages of this county have sprung up like mushrooms, and some of them have disappeared almost as soon, and now live only in name ; but the majority of them have grown up to be prosperous towns and villages. I will give the population of the most important, according to the census of 1870, and extra reports. Newcastle population, 1,556; Knightstown, 1,528; Lewisville, 416; Spiceland, 370. Bluntsville, 178; Mechanicsburg, 133; Middletown, 711; Honey Creek, 100; Sulphur Springs, 246; Summit, 108; Hills- boro, 95 ; Luray, 65 ; Raysville, 460 ; Greensboro, 360 ; Mill- ville, about 166; Dunrieth, 180; Grant City, about 86 ; Ash- land, 70; Ehzabeth City, 100; Rogersville, 75; Cadiz, 305; New Lisbon, about 220 and Ogden, 320. As a sketch of the townships will be shown up in another part of this work and the towns and villages located, I consider it unnecessary to locate them in this connection or to say anything in regard to the townships, except to give their number in the county, and the name, vote and population of each. The present number of townships in the county is thirte en the name, vote and population as follows: ^40 HENRY COUNTY. ^lue River, Dudley, Fall Creek, Franklin, Greensboro, Harrison, Henry, Jefferson, Liberty, .

I4I BLUE RIVER TOWNSHIP. Blue River Township is located in the northeast part, near the corner of Henry county, and is bounded as follows . On the north by Stony Creek township, on the east by Randolph and Wayne counties, on the south by Liberty township, and on the west by Prairie, and contains an area of about twenty-two square miles. The surface is more or less broken, especially along the streams, yet it can all be cultivated or made profitable for grazing. It is watered by the two branches of Blue River, from which it derived its name. The timber, of several varities, is abundant ; gravel and sand beds plentiful, and in the north part of the township considerable quantities of glazier or travel- ing stones are visible. The population of the township is about 900. The value of taxable property is ^350,000. Some of the first settlers were Joseph Carey, Reuben Willson, John Koons,. J. P. Johnson, R. Willson, and Michael Conway. Township Trustee, John Wrightman. Number of school houses, 6 ; value of school property, $2,460. CHURCHES. German Baptist Church, White Branch, five miles northwest of Hagerstown ; pastor in charge, Daniel Bowman ; value of church property, S800. Blue River Christian Church; pastor in charge, Moses M.

Henry Township is the central township of Henry county, and is bounded as follows : On the west by Jefferson and Prairie townships, on the east by Liberty, on the south by Franklin, Spiceland and Greensboro, and on the west by Greensboro and Harrison, and contains thirty-six square miles. The surface is rolling ; the soil is good, and well supplied with stock water by Blue River, Duck and Flat Rock Creeks. The timber, gravel, sand and buildmg material of the township are good, and of suffi- cient amount for all present demands. Newcastle, the county seat, is located near the center of the township. This is a town of about 1600 inhabitants — a very beautiful, enterprising business place. The population of the township at present exceeds 3000. The value of taxables, real and personal, at present, is near two million dollars. It is the second township, both in point of wealth and population. Some of the first settlers were Andrew Shannon, Allen Shep- hard, A. Woodard, Wm. Shannon, Geo. Hobson, and the fam- ily of Whitings. CHURCH, LODGE AND SCHOOL STATISTICS. M. E. Church, Newcastle ; S.

ARTICLE XIV. Section i. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States, and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States ; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property, without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Sec. 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States accordmg to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representativcb in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State. Sec. 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or Elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a mem- 25 3^6 CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS. ber of any State Legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each house, remove such disa- bility. Sec. 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pen- sions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or re- bellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave ; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void. Sec. 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by ap- propriate legislation, the provisions of this article. The amendment passed the Senate by a vote of 33 yeas to 1 1 nays, and the House by a vote of 138 yeas to 36 nays. ARTICLE XV. Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servi- tude. Sec. 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this ar- ticle by appropriate legislation. ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION. 387 ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATIOiN PERPETUAL UNION BETWEEN THE STATES.

If any person guilty of or charged with treason, felony or other high misdemeanor in any State, shall flee from justice, and be found in any of the United States, he shall, upon demand of the Governor, or executive powder of the State from which he fled, be delivered up and removed to the State having jurisdic- tion of his offense.

No State shall lay any imposts or duties which may interfere 390 ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION. with any stipulations in treaties, entered into by the United States in Congress assembled, with any King, Prince or State, in pursuance of any treaties already proposed by Congress, to the Courts of France and Spain. No vessels of war shall be kept up in time of peace by any State, except such number only as shall be deemed necessary by the United States in Congress assembled, for the defense of such State, or its trade ; nor shall any body of forces be kept up by any State, in time of peace, except such number only, as in the judgment of the United States in Congress assembled, .shall be deemed requisite to garrison the forts necessary for the defense of such State ; but every State shall always keep up a well regulated and disciplined militia, sufficiently armed and ac- coutred, and shall provide and have constantly ready for use, in public stores, a due number of field-pieces and tents, and a proper quantity of arms, ammunition and camp equipage. No State shall engage in any war without the consent of the United States in Congress assembled, unless such State be act- ually invaded by enemies, or shall have received certain advice of a resolution being formed by some nation of Indians to invade such a State, and the danger is so imminent as not to admit of a delay, till the United States in Congress assembled can be consulted ; nor shall any State grant commissions to any ships or vessels of war, nor letters of marque or reprisal, except it be after a declaration of war by the United States in Congress assembled, and then only against the Kingdom or State, and the subjects thereof, against which war has been so declared, and under such regulations as shall be established by the United States in Congress assembled, unless such State be infested by pirates, in which case vessels of war may be fitted out for that occasion, and kept so long as the danger shall continue, or until the United States in Congress assembled shall determine other- wise.

The taxes for paying that proportion shall be laid and levied by the authority and direction of the legislatures of the several States within the time agreed upon by the United States in Congress assembled. Art. 9. The United States in Congress assembled shall have the sole and exclusive right and power of determining on peace and war, except in the cases mentioned in the 6th article— of sending and receiving embassadors— entering into treaties and alliances, provided that no treaty of commerce shall be made whereby the legislative power of the respective States shall be restrained from imposing such imposts and duties on foreigners as their own people are subjected to, or from prohibiting the ex- portation or importation of any species of goods or commodities whatsoever— of establishing rules for deciding in all cases what captures on land or water shall be legal, and in what manner prizes taken by land or naval forces in the service of the United States shall be divided or appropriated— of granting letters of marque and reprisal in times of peace— appointing courts for the trial of piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and es- tablishing courts for receiving and determining finally appeals in all cases of capture, provided that no member of Congress shall be appointed a judge of any of the said courts. The United States in Congress assembled shall also be the last resort on appeal in all disputes and differences now subsist- ing, or that hereafter may arise between two or more States concerning boundary, jurisdiction, or any other cause whatever ; which authority shall always be exercised in the manner follow- ing :— Whenever the legislative or executive authority or lawful agent of any State in controversy with another shall present a petition to Congress, stating the matter in question, and pra}'ing for a hearing, notice thereof shall be given by order of Congress, 392 ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION. to the legislative or executive authority of the other State in con- troversy, and a day assigned for the appearance of the parties by their lawful agents, who shall then be directed to appoint, by joint consent, commissioners or judges to constitute a court for hearing and determining the matter in question ; but if they can not agree. Congress shall name ihree persons out of each of the United States, and from the list of such persons each party shall alternately strike out one, the petitioners beginning, until the number shall be reduced to thirteen ; and from that number not less than seven, nor more than nine names, as Congress shall direct, shall in the presence of Congress be drawn out by lot, and the persons whose names shall be so drawn, or any five of them, shall be commissioners or judges, to hear and finally de- termine the controversy, so always as a major part of the judges who shall hear the cause shall agree in the determinati^on ; and if either party shall neglect to attend at the day appointed, with- out showing reasons which Congress shall judge sufficient, or being present shall refuse to strike, the Congress shall proceed to nominate three persons out of each State, and the Secretary of Congress shall strike in behalf of such party absent or refus- ing; and the judgment and sentence of the court, to be appointed in the manner above prescribed, shall be final and conclusive ; and if any of the parties shall refuse to submit to the authority of such court, or to appear or defend their claim or cause, the court shall, nevertheless, proceed to pronounce sentence or judg- ment, which shall in like manner be final and decisive, the judg- ment or sentence and other proceedings being in either case transmitted to Congress and lodged among the acts of Congress for the security of the parties concerned ; provided that every commissioner, before he sits in judgment, shall take an oath, to be administered by one of the judges of the Supreme or Supe- rior Court of the State where the cause shall be tried, "well and truly to hear and determine the matter in question, accord- ing to the best of his judgment, without favor, affection, or hope of reward ; " provided also that no State shall be deprived of territory for the benefit of the United States. All controversies concerning the private right of soil claimed under different grants of two or more States, whose jurisdictions as they may respect such lands, and the States which passed ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION. 393 such ^n-ants, are adjusted; the said grants or either of them bein-\t the same time claimed to have originated antecedent to such settlement of jurisdiction, shall, on the petition of either party to the Congress of the United States, be finally deter- mined as near as may be in the same manner as is before pre- scribed for deciding disputes respecting territorial jurisdiction between different States. The United States in Congress assembled shall also have the sole exclusive right and power of regulating the alloy and value of coin struck by their own authority, or by that of the respect- ive States— fixing the standard of weights and measures through- out the United States— regulating the trade and managing all affairs with the Indians, not members of any of the States ; pro- vided that the legislative right of any State within its own limits be not infringed or violated— establishing or regulating post- oflices from one State to another, throughout all the United States, and exacting such postage on the papers passing through the same as may be requisite to defray the expenses of the said office-appointing all officers of the land forces, in the service of the United States, excepting regimental officers— appointii>g all the officers of the naval forces, and commissioning all officers whatever in the service of the United States-making rules for the government and regulation of the said land and naval forces, and directing their operations. The United States in Congress assembled shall have authority to appoint a committee, to sit in the recess of Congress, to be denominated ''A Committee of the States," and to consist of one delegate from each State ; and to appoint such other committees and civil officers as may be necessary for managing the general affairs of the United States, under their direction— to appoint one of their number to preside ; provided that no person be al- lowed to serve in the office of president more than one year in any term of three years— to ascertain the necessary sums of money to be raised for the service of the United States, and to appropriate and apply the same for defraying the public ex- penses—to borrow money, or emit bills on the credit of the United States, transmitting every half year to the respective States an account of the sums of money so borrowed or emitted 394 ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION. — to build and equip a navy — to agree upon the number of land forces, and to make requisitions from each State for its quota, in proportion to the number of white inhabitants in such State, which requisition shall be binding- ; and thereupon the legislatures of each State shall appoint the regimental officers, raise the men, and clothe, arm, and equip them in a soldier-like manner, at the expense of the United States ; and the officers and men so clothed, armed, and equipped, shall march to the place appointed, and within the time agreed on by the United States in Congress assembled ; but if the United States in Con- gress assembled shall, on consideration of circumstances, judge proper that any State should not raise men, or should raise a smaller number than its quota, and that any other State should raise a greater number of men than the quota thereof, such extra number shall be raised, officered, clothed, armed, and equipped in the same manner as the quota of such State, unless the legis- lature of such State shall judge that such extra number can not be safely spared out of the same ; in which case they shall raise, officer, clothe, arm, and equip as many of such extra number as they judge can be safely spared. And the officers and men so clothed, armed, and equipped, shall march to the place ap- pointed, and within the time agreed on by the United States in Congress assembled. The United States in Congress assembled shall never engage in a war, nor grant letters of marque and reprisal in time of peace, nor enter into any treaties or alliances, nor coin money, nor regulate the value thereof, nor ascertain the sums and ex- penses necessary for the defense and welfare of the United States, or any of them, nor emit bills, nor borrow money on the credit of the United States, nor appropriate money, nor agree upon the number of vessels of war to be built or pur- chased, or the number of land or sea forces to be raised, nor appoint a commander-in-chief of the army or navy, unless nine States assent to the same ; nor shall a question on any other point, except for adjourning from day to day, be determined, unless by the votes of a majority of the United States in Con- gress assembled. The Congress of the United States shall have power to ad- journ to any time within the year, and to any place within the ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION. 395 United States, so that no period of adjournment be for a longer duration than the space of six months, and shall pubhsh the journal of their proceedings monthly, except such parts thereof relating to treaties, alliances, or military operations, as m their judgment require secrecy; and the yeas and nays of the dele- crates of each.
