IN CONGRESS, TUESDAY, JULY 4, 1716. Agreeably to the order of the day, the Congress resolved itself into a committee of the whole, to take into their further consideration the Declaration ; and, a^ter 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 JeiFerson, Frank- lin, John Adams, Sherman, and R. R. 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 for 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 thsir public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved representative hou es 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, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise, the State remaining, in the meantime, ex- DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. posed to all the danger of invasion from without, and convul- sions within. lie has endeavored to prevent the population of these Stales ; 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 estabhshing 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 oflBces, 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 aifected to render the military independent of, and superior to, the civil power. He has comijined, 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 thsm, 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 colouies ; For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable 6 DECLARATION OP 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 tbeir 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 tliemost 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 the*e usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and c )rrespondence. 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 OP INDEPENDENCE. them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war — id 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.

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.

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 ehall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any bill 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.

Evans, EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION. 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. 65 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 Virginia, and also the counties of Berkeley, Accoraac, 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 I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be aflSxed. Done at the City of Washington, this first day of January, ,-A^ in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred ■{seal|- and sixty- three, and of the Independence of the Unit- — , — ed States of America the eighty-seventh.

Resolved^ 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, being 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 ivt 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 ejQfect. 6. That the Democracy of the United States recognize it as an imperative duty of the government to protect the natural- (66) POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 57 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 epeedy 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 PARTY OF 1860, Resolved, That we, the Democracy of the Union in Conven- tion assembled, hereby declare our afllrmation 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 differences 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 afford 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. 58 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. Resolved^ 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 in 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 Re- 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 Becure 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. 69 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- travagance 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 do<;ma 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 coterapo- 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 oj property without due process of law, it becomes our duty bj 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 Kepresentatives. 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 quate 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 I home and abroad. 15. That appropriations by Congress for river and harbor i 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 I difi'ering in other questions, who substantially agree with us, in their affirmance and support. PLATFORM OF THE NATIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL PARTY OP 1860. The Union, tbe Constitution and the Laws. 1 62 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. UNION PLATFORM, 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 Conslitution 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 Slates, 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-sacriiices, the patriotism, the heroic valor, and the undying devotion of the American people to their country and its free institutions. |i 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 the Government, 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 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 difliculy, 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 the 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 soldiers, 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 effect. 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 oflicial 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 i3eopie 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 raonarchial 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 proclaimed. 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 tbeir 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. NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM OF 1864. Mesolved., 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 Northern 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 eflforts 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 66 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 herebj' 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 Democratic 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 20t.h day of May, 1868, make the following declaration of principles: 1. We congratulate the country on the assured success of 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 i)ledged 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 duty of the 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 PLATPOftMS. 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 efibrt toward making these principles a living reality on every inch of American soil. DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM OF 1868. The Democratic party, in National Convention assembled, reposing its trust in the intelligence, patriotism, and discrimi- nating justice of the people, standing upon the Constitution as the foundation 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 ofi"enses ; 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 they 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 States. 'iO POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 4. Equal taxation of every species of property according to the value ; reducing Government bonds and other public securities. 6. 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 aflford 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 despotism 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 maintenaace 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 tho 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 Government 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 sufi"rage have belonged to the several States, and have been granted, regulated, and controlled exclusively by the political 73 POLITICAL PLATFOKMS. power of each State respeotively, 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 gaUant 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 efforts 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 differences 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 such co-operating with us as friends and brothers. POLITICAL PLA'TFORMS. 73 KEPUBLICAN PLATFORM, 1872. The Republican party of the United States, assembled in national convention in the city of Philadelphia on the 5th and 6th days of Juaie, 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 dealingjustly 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 Pi*esidency at the rate of a hun- dred millions a year, great financial crises have been avoided, and peace and plenty prevail throughout the laud. Menacmg 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 believe the people will not intrust the Goveiimaent 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, nofc 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 eflScient and appropriate State and Federal legislation. Neither the law nor its administration should admit any discrimination in respect of citizens by reason of race, cr^ed, 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 evils 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 oounlry 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 aflaire, thus seeking to blind the eyes of the people. They have kept 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 successful 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 Republicans 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 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 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 welfiire requires the supremacy of the civil over the military authority, and the ireedom of i^erson under the protection of the haheas 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 PLATFOBMS. 79 constitute the only valid claims to public employment ; that the ofl&ces of the Government cease to be a matter of arbitrary favoritism and patronage, and that public station shall 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 Iriendships of peace by treating with all on fair and equal terms, regarding it alike dishonorable either to demand what is nob 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 suffrage, 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 haheas 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 for re-election. POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 81 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.

A speedy return to specie payment is demanded alike by the highest considerations of commercial morality and honest government. 9.

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 LABOE REFORM CONVENTION, 1872. We hold that all political power is inherent in the people, and free government founded on their authority and estab- lished for iheir benefit ; that ail 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. 83 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 slw)uld, 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.

That this large view of geology is not only a true but a necessary one, is shown by the fact, that it was not until considerable aivances had been made in all the physical sciences which relate di- rectly to the earth, that geology could begin to exist in any worthy form. It was not until the chemist was able to exyilain the nature of the mineral substances of which rocks are com- posed ; not till the geographer and meteorologist had explored the surface of the earth, and taught us the extent of land and water, and the powers of winds, current s, rains, glaciers, earth- quakes and volcanoes ; not until the naturalist had classified, named, and described the greater part of existing animals and plants, and explained their anatomical structure, and the laws of their distribution in space;— that the geologist could, with any chance of arriving at sure and definite results, commence his researches into the structure and composition of rocks and the causes which produced them, or utilize his discoveries of the remains of animals and plants that are inclosed in them. He could not until then dis-criminate with certainty batween igneous and aqueous rocks, between living and extinct atii- mals,and was, therefore, unable to laydown anyone oftlie foun- dations on which his own science was to rest." — Encyclopedia JBr-Uannica, Sih edition^ vol. xv. If there is any one fact which the study of geology teaches more unmistakably than another, it is, that the matter com- posing the crust of the earth, from the time when it was first called into existence by the fi,at of the Creator to the pri^sent, has been subjected to an endless cycle of mutations. There (9a) 94 GEOLOGICAL ITEMS. may have been periods of comparative rest and quiescen e, but none of perfect stagnation and stability ; so that the pres- ent condition and configuration of the earth's surface may be considered as the last result of a series of cosmical changes, which commenced with the dawn of creation, and are con- tinuing on into the future. "Had the exterior crust of the earth been subjected to no modifying causes, the world would have presented the same appearance now as at the time of its creation. The distribu- tion of land and sea would have remained the same ; there would have been the same surface arrangement of hill, valley and plain, and the same unvarying aspects of animal and veg- etable existence. Under such circumstances, geology, instead of striving to present a consecutive history of change and progress, would have been limited to a mere description of permanently enduring appearances. The case, however, is widely different." There is no part of the present land-surface of the globe which has not at some time been covered by the ocean, while much of the present sea bottom has been in turn dry land. Many of the loftiest and most extensive ranges of mountains upon the globe — the Alps, the Andes, and the Himalayas — are of comparatively recent elevation (recent as compared with the White Mountains of New England, or the Appallachian chain of the Atlantic States); while the com- mencement of the existence of every animal and vegetable species at present found upon the earth was long subsequent to the existence of the myriad organisms, whose remains are now found fossil beneath its surface. The agencies which have produced, and are still tending to produce, changes in the constitution and structure of our planet, may be classified as follows : 1. Igneous agencies, or such as manifest themselves in connection with some deep- seated source of heat in the interior of the globe. 2. Aque- ous, or those arising from the action of the water. 3. Atmos- pheric, or those operating through the medium of the atmos- phere. 4. Organic, or those depending on animal and vegetable growth. 5. Chemical, or those resulting from the chemical action of substances on each other. — Wells^ Illus- trated Geology. GEOLOGICAL ITEMS. 95 THE TEMPER ATUKE OF THE EARTH. The following are some of the obvservations made most re- cently on this subject: In England, observations have been made in the vertical shafts of two very deep coal mines, viz., at Monkwearmouth, which is 1800 feet deep, and Dunkinfield^ which is upwards of 2000 feet deep, and in both cases the ob- servations were made while the workmen were sinking the shafts, and with every precaution against the influence of any extraneous causes. The former gave an increase of 1 deg. of Fahrenheit for every sixty feet of depth, and the latter 1 deg. for about every seventy feet. The artesian well of Grenelle (Paris), is 1800 feet deep ; observations made by Arago, during the boring, showed that the average increase of temperature in this was 1 deg. for sixty feet. At MordorjQf, Luxemburg, the depth of the artesian well is 2400 feet, and the increase in temperature 1 deg. for every fifty-seven feet. At the artesian well of New Seltzwork, in Westphalia, the depth is 2100 feet, and the increase 1 deg. for every fifty-five feet. At Louisville, Ky.,the depth of an artesian well, finished in 1859, is 2086 feet deep, and the average increase is 1 deg, for every sixty-seven feet below the first ninety feet from the surface. In the silver mine of Guanaxato, Mexico, 1713 feet deep, the increase is 1 deg. for every forty-five feet. In the coal mines of Eastern Virginia, the increase is about 1 deg. for every sixty feet. VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS. One or two remarkable instances of volcanic eruptions may be briefly noticed. First, for duration and force we may refer to that which took place in the island of Sumbawa (one of the Sunda Islands lying east of Java), in the year 1515. It com- menced on the 5th of April, and did not entirely cease until July. Its influence (i. e. shocks, and the noise of the explo- sions) was perceptible over an area 1,800 miles in diameter, while within the range of its more immediate vicinity, embrac- ing a space of 400 miles, its efi*ects were most terrific. In Java, 300 miles distant, it seemed to be awfully present. The sky was overcast at noon day with clouds of ashes, which the light of the sun was unable to penetrate, and fields, streets, and houses were covered with ashes to the depth of several inches. At Sumbawa itself, immense columns of flame appeared to burst forth from the top of the volcano, Tombora, and in a 96 GEOLOGICAL ITEMS. short time the whole mountain appeared like a mass of liquid fire, which gradually extended in every direction. As the eruption continued, a darkness supervened, so profound as to obscure even the light of the flames ; showers of stones and ashes fell continuously over the whole island ; the sea rose twelve feet higher than it had ever been known to do before; and finally a whirlwind ensued, which tore up the largest trees, and carried them into the air, together with men, horses, cat- tle, and whatever else came within its influence. Of 12,000 inhabitants in the vicinity only six are believed to have es- caped, and of some entire villages not even a vestige remained. In 1772, the Papandayaug, one of the loftiest volcanic moun- tains in Java, after a short but severe eruption, suddenly fell in and disappeared in the earth, carrying with it about ninety square miles of territory. Forty villages were engulfed, or covered with ejected matter, at the same time, and nearly 3,000 persons perished. — Wells' Illustrated Geology- DESCRIPTIONS OF AN EARTHQUAKE. "A powerful eathquake," says Mr. Darwin, "at once destroys the oldest associations ; the world, the very emblem of all that is solid, has moved beneath our feet like a crust over a fluid; one second of time has conveyed to the mind a strange idea of insecurity, which hours of reflection would never have created." "To man," says Humbolt, "the earthquake conveys an idea of some universal and unlimited -danger. We may flee from the crater of a volcano in active eruption, or from a locality threatened by the approach of a lava stream ; but in an earth- quake, direct our flight whithersoever we will, we still feel as though we trod upon the very focus of destruction. Every sound — the faintest motion in the air — arrests our attention, and we no longer trust the ground on which we stand. Ani- mals, especially dogs and swine, participate in the same anxious disquietude ; and even crocodiles, in the rivers of South Amer- ica, which at other times are dumb, have been observed to quit the water and run, with loud cries, into the adjacent forests." AQUEOUS AND ATMOSPHERIC AGENCIES. The aqueous and atmospheric agencies most prominently concerned in producing geological changes, are rains, and ihs GEOLOGICAL ITEMS. 97 gasses and moisture of the attnosphere^ winds^ ice, and snow, springs, rivers, waves, tides, and oceanic currents. The operation of water, acting mechanically, is, under all circumstances, to wear down the higher portions of the earth's crust, and transport the materials to lower localities — an ac- tion which obviously tends to reduce the whole surface to a smooth and uniform level. On the other hand, the operations of igneous agents — volcanoes, earthquakes, etc. — by breaking up and elevatihg the crust of the earth, tend to counteract the equalizing action of water and to produce that diversity of- Burface which is indispensable to variety in both the vegetable and animal kingdoms. These two forces, therefore — the aque- ous and the igneous — may be considered as antagonistic to each other, and to them may be ascribed the principal modifi- cations which have taken place, and are still taking place, in the crust of the globe. — WdVs Illustrated Geology CORAL REEFS. "The ocean," says Mr. Darwin, 'throwmg its breakers on the outer shore, appears an invincible enemy, yet we see it re- sisted, and even conquered, by means which at first seem weak and inefficient. No periods of repose are granted, and the heavy swell caused by the steady action of the trade wind never ceases. The breakers exceed in violence those of our temperate regions ; and it is impossible to behold them with- out feeling a conviction that rocks of granite or quartz would ultimately be demolished by such irresistable forces. Yet these low coral islands stand and are victorious, for here another power, antagonistic to the former, takes part in the contest. The organic forces separate the atoms of carbonate of lime, one by one, from the foaming breakers, and unite them into a symmetrical structure ; myriads of architects are at work day and night, month after month, and we see their soft and gelatinous bodies, through the agency of the vital laws, conquering the great mechanical power of the waves of the ocean, which neither the art of man nor the mechanical works of nature could successfully resist." The animals which produce coral are very simple, and resemble plants both in their figures and colors. 7 93 GEOLOGICAL ITEMS. THE FIRST FORMED STRATIFIED ROCKS. The adoption of the theory, that our earth was once in a state of entire molten fluidity, involves the existence of a sub- sequent period, when its primeval crust had sufficiently cooled down to allow of the condensation of watery vapor and of the existence of a sea upon its surface. Whenever this happened, the eroding and destructive action of water must have imme- diately manifested itself, while the particles of the consolida- ted igneous crust, worn off by the action of waves, tides, and currents, and deposited as sediments, would naturally produce stratified formations. The internal heat of the earth at that period, however, must have continued to act with great intensity near the surface, and the strata first deposited, consequently, were, in all prob- ability, soon greatly metamorphosed, i. e.^ remelted down to form igneous rocks, or converted into hard crystalline semi- igneous rocks, that retained, in part, their original lines of stratification. Whether any of these first formed stratified rocks are in ex- istence, and open to our inspection, it is impossible to affirm. Some geologists incline to the opinion that they were entirely remelted, and are now represented by the older or funda- mental granites, which, in some instances, appear to have an obscurely stratified structure. Be this as it may, it is, however, a matter of fact, that the oldest rocks of which we have any knowledge, which exhibit evidence of a sedimentary origin, appear to have been formed under conditions analogous to those above supposed. Thus, they are all more or less crystalline and indurated ; their lines of stratification are indistinct, and often altogether oblitera- ted ; and their whole aspect is very different from what is usually ascribed to rocks deposited in water. — Wells' Illustra- ted Geology. FORMATION OF COAL. It is now universally admitted by geologists, that coal is a mass of compressed, altered, and mineralized vegetation, just as sandstone is consolidated sand, and the slate and shale con. solidated clay or mud. Tiie evidence upon which the belief is founded may be briefly stated, as follows : Ist. The enormous profusion of fossil plant s^ in the form of GEOLOGICAL ITEMS. 99 impressions of leaves, trunks, branches, and barks of trees, found in immediate connection with coal seams. 2d. Coal is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, the same ele- ments (though differing in proportion) which enter into the composition of plants. 3d. The substance of coal, when ex- amined under the microscope, affords unmistakable evidence of a vegetable (cellular) structure. 4th. All the stages of gradation between perfect wood and perfect coal may be traced with the greatest certainty. But granting the vegetable origin of coal, the question im- mediately suggests itself: Under what circumstances could so great an amount of vegetable matter have ever accumu- lated ? — the magnitude of which may be realized in a degree, from the asserted fact "that all the forests of the United States, if gathered into one heap, would fail to furnish the ma- terials of a single coal seam equal to that of Pittsburg, Penn." Furthermore, coal is found stratified, laminated, and ex- tended, in horizontal beds, which often cover very large areas, with a nearly constant thickness — the great Pittsburg coal seam, above referred to for example, having a nearly uniform thickness of from eight to twelve feet, and is estimated to have once covered a surface of 90,000 square miles. Coal, moreover, is ordinarily encased between beds of shale or sandstone, which bear evident proof of having been slowly deposited in quiet waters. In some coal fields, as many as seventy seams of coal, varying in thickness from a few inches to four, six, eight, ten, twelve, and twenty feet, occur tlius in- terstratified with shales and sandstones ; and yet, notwith- standing these frequent alternations of material, the purity of the coal is such, that it rarely contains any considerable ad- mixture of mud, sand, or other foreign mineral substances. In explanation of these phenomena, various hypo-heses have been suggested, but the general opinion of the best ge- ologists of the present day is, that the vegetable matter con- stituting coal, must, in the main, have grown and accumu- lated in immense jungles and peat mosses for many years; that the land must have then sunk, and become the basin of a lake or estuarv, into which rivers carried mud and sand : these covering the vegetable matter, gradually consolidated into shales and sandstones, while the vegetable matter itself un- derwent the process of mineralization, and was converted inta 100 GEOLOGICAL ITEMS. coal. This being done, it is supposed that the area of deposit was again elevated, so as to become once more the scene of luxuriant vegetation ; then again submerged, and overlaid by new deposits of sandstone and shale; then once more elevated and covered with plants, and again submerged; and these al- ternations of submergence and elevations are presumed to have taken place as often as there are beds of coal in any par- ticular coal field. — Well's Illustrated Geology. CLIMATIC CONDITIONS OF THE CARBONIFEROUS ERA. There is one circumstance in connection with the formation of coal which has given rise to a vast amount of ingenious speculation and hypotheses, viz : the apparent sameness of external conditions over such extensive areas of the earth as are now occupied by our known coal fields. Thus, the same gigantic ferns and club-mosses are found alike in the coal fields of America, Europe, Melville Island, Greenland, and Australia — regions widely separated, and at once tropical, temperate, and frigid. To account for this luxuriance and homogeneity of vegetable growth various causes have been suggested, as the earth's central heat, a change in the earth's axis, a larger percentage of carbonic acid in the atmosphere, the planetary system moving through warmer regions of space^ and the like ; but thus far geologists have arrived at no definite conclusions on the subject. Deposits of carbonaceous matter have occurred at almost every period of the earth's historv, as is evidenced by the fact that thin seams of coal are found in almost all the geological systems ; but the coal beds which admit of economical work- ing are almost exclusively confined to the carboniferous sys- tem. The only exceptions are a few coal fields belonging to the Oolitic or Jurassic system, which, in Virginia and some other localities, admit of profitable mining. It seems, there- fore, certain, that whatever may have been the conditions which allowed of so abundant a terrestrial vegetation at this particular epoch of the earth's history, those conditions ceased about the time when the era of the Carboniferous system ter- minated. A high temperature was evidently not one of these conditions, for there are evidences of it afterwards; and some authorities incline to the belief that the superabundance of carbonic acid gas, which is supposed to have existed during GEOLOGICAL ITEMS. 101 this era, was expended before its close. " There can be no doubt that the infusion of a large amount of this gas into the atmosphere at the present day would be attended by precisely the same circumstances as in the time of the coal epoch. The higher forms of animal life would not have a place on earth. Vegetation would be enormous; and coal strata would be formed from the vast accumulations of woody matter, which would gather in every favorable locality." DISTRIBUTION OF COAL. Coal is very widely distributed over the world, although some countries are more highly favored than others. Avail- able coal fields occur in Great Britain ; in Spain, France, Bel- gium and Middle Europe; in India, China and Japan ; in the islands of the Indian Archipelago ; in Australia and New Zealand ; in South America, Chili and Peru ; in Greenland, Melville Island and in British America. But nowhere is the coal formation more extensively displayed than in the United States, and nowhere are its beds of greater thickness, more convenient for working, or of more valuable quality. The eastern half of the continent of North America exhibits five great coal fields, extending from Newfoundland to Arkan- sas : 1. The /?/•««!, or most eastern, is that of the British Prov- inces, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. Its area is probably about 9,000 square miles, though only one tenth of this surface appears to be underlaid by productive coal seams. 2. The second,, or Great Appalachian coal field, extends from Pennsylvania and Ohio to near Tuscaloosa, in the interior of Alabama. It is about 875 miles long, and is es- timated to contain 70,000 square miles. 3. A third,, and smaller coal field, occupies the center of the State of Michi- gan ; it covers an area of about 15,000 square miles, but is not very productive. 4. A fourth great coal field is situated in the States of Kentucky, Indiana and Illionois. Its area is es- timated at 50,000 square miles. 5. The fifth,, and most western, occurs in Iowa, Missouri and Arkansas, and occupies an area of about 57,000 square miles. Besides these great deposits, coal is also found in New England, Kansas, Nebraska, and Texas. The aggregate space underlaid by the coal fields of North America amounts to at least 200,000 square miles, or to more 102 GEOLOOICAL ITEMS. than twenty times the area which includes all the known coal deposits of Europe. — Wells^ Geology. MISCELLANEOUS. The n.umber of species of animals that now inhabit the globe is about 250,000. The number of fossil species of animals and plants cannot be reliably estimated, but it is safe to say that the number of the different extinct species that have been found in fossil state exceeds many times the number of all the different species now living. Geologists claim four distinct periods or ages of the earth's history. Beginning at the oldest, they are called or named, First, the Azoic period, or period deficient of the evidence of life ; Second, Paleozoic, or period of ancient life ; Third, the Mesozoic, or period of middle life ; Fourth^ or last period, called Cainozoic. This period includes the Post Tertiary, or recent system of rocks or period of recent life. A picture of the Azoic period has thus been imagined by Hugh Miller. "During the early part of the Azoic period we may imagine," he says, " a dark atmosphere of steam and va- por, which, for age after age conceals the face of the sun, and through which the moon or stars never penetrates; oceans of thermal waters, heated in a thousand centers to the boiling point ; low, half molten islands, dim through the fog and scarce more fixed than waves themselves, that heave and tremble under the impulsions of the igneous agencies ; roaring geysers that ever and anon throw up their intermittent jets of boiling fluid, vapor and thick steam, from these tremulous lands ; and in the dim outskirts of the scene, the red gleam of fire shot forth from yawning cracks and deep chasms. Such would be the probable state of things among the times of the earlier gneiss and mica-chist deposits — times buried deep in that chaotic night which must have continued to exist for, may hap, many ages after that beginning of things in which God created the heavens and the earth." At length, however, as the earth's surface gradually cooled down and the enveloping waters sunk to a lower temperature, let us suppose during the latter times of the mica schist and the earlier times of the clay slate, the steam atmosphere would become less dense and thick, and finally the rays of the sun would struggle through it; at first doubtful and diffused, form- GEOLOaiCAL ITEMS. 103 ing a faint twilight, but gradually strengthening, as the later ages of the slate formation passed away, until at the close of the great primary period day and night — the one still dim and grey, the other wrapped in the pall of darkness — would suc- ceed each other as now, as the earth revolved on its axis. The number of active volcanoes on our globe are about 275. Humboldt suggests the idea that volcanoes are merely vents, located above some far extended subterranean crack or fissure in the crust of the earth, through which the molten matter of the interior escapes to the surface. The falls of Niagara are 150 feet in height, and the average amount of water passing over each minute is estimated at 670,000 tons. This water, by its abrading power, has undoubt- edly excavated for itself the gorge or channel — seven miles long, 200 feet deep, and 1,200 to 2,000 feet wide — which now intervenes between the falls and Lake Ontario. The minimum time required to wear through this space has been estimated by Sir Charles Lyell, at 35,000 years. — WelVs Illustrated GeoL STRATIFIED ROCKS. The stratified rocks of Great Britain have been studied more than any other of the earth, and as the result of these investi- gations it has been found that the extinct mammalia, found in fossiliferous rocks, is more numerous by half than all the species now existing; and of molluscs, the fossil species nine times as numerous as the living species ; the fossil fish five times, the reptiles ten times, and the radiate fourteen times. The geologist finds no trace of that golden age of the world of which the poets delighted to sing, when all creatures lived together in peace, and wars and bloodshed were unknown. Ever since animal life began on our planet, there existed, in all departments of being, carniverous classes, who could not live but by the death of their neighbors ; and who were armed, in consequence, for their destruction, like the butcher with his axe and knife, and the angler with his hook and spear. In Europe, the caverns or caves that have been discovered, have contained the remains or skeletons of a great many of the difi'erent species of animals that now inhabit the earth, and of others that are now extinct. For instance, the bones and skeletons of the mammoth are found in great numbers; also of the mastadon, the epoch of the mastadon, in a geolog- ical sense, is very recent. Some think that the mammoths and mastadons did not become entirely extinct in this country until after the advent of man. Sir Charles Lyell is of the opinion that the period of the extinction of the mastadon, although recent, must have been many thousand years ago. niiLosoriiY. No two particles of matter can occupy the same space at the same lime. All bodies weigh heaviest at the earth's surfoce. A body that weighs 10 pounds at the earth's surface will weigh but 2^ pounds 4,000 miles high. Take two cog-wheels of the same size; let one stand still put the cogs together and put the other in motion, and when it has made one-half revolution around the standing wheel it will have made a full revolution on its own center, notwith- standing only one-half ot the cogs of its own surface has touched the standing wheel. The atmosphere is the lightest in wet, rainy weather; yet we tind people very often who think dillerent. The medium pressure of the atmosphere is about tifteen pounds to the square inch, but this is not always the case. The pressure will vary in the same locality, and sometimes be greater or less. The medium hight that atmospheric pressure will raise water is about 33 feet ; but tliis calculation only holds good at the level o( the sea, because as we ascend from the sea level the pressure becomes less; hence, our calculations for raising water by atmospheric pressure must be governed by the pres- sure that atmosphere has at the hight of the position above the sea level. Illustration : At sea level atmospheric pressure lilteen pounds to the square inch ; one mile above sea level, about 12:^^ pounds; two miles above, 10 pounds ; three miles, Impounds; consequently, on an elevation three miles high, water cannot be raised but about IG^ feet by the weight of the air. The top or upper part of a wagon wheel passes through a greater amount of space in a given time when running thaa the bottom ; or, in other words, runs the fastest, (104) PHIUj&OPHY. 105 The piston rod of a steam engine makes tv/o complete stop-: at ever}' revolution of the crank attached to the end of the pitman.

Resultant motion may be illustrated by holding a ball or weight in your hand and dropping it from the top of your head while running, you will find that you cannot run fast enough to overtake the ball before it strikes the ground. A ball may be shot from a cannon from the top of a tower on a horizontal plain, and another dropped from the mouth of the cannon at the same time, and they will both strike the earth at the same time, provided the surface be horizontal with the cannon. Lever power is almost indispensable, or in other words, without it we could scarcely do anything; yet to take in con- sideration distance and speed, there is not a particle of power gained by a lever. Illustration : Suppose a lever 20 feet long, the fulcrum 2 feet from one end of the lever, 10 pounds on the long end of the lever is equal to 100 pounds on the short end ; but to raise the 100 pounds one foot the ten pounds jjasses through 10 feet of space, consequently it travels ten times as fast as the 100 pounds, so all that is gained in power is lost in speed and distance ; because if both ends of the lever was of the same length while one end of the lever was passing through ten feet of space the other end would pass through the same ten feet ; and t^n i>ound5 would raise ten pjounds ten feet high, or ten times as high as the ten pounds on the long end of the lever would raise the 100 pounds on th- short end. SKETCHES OF ASTRONOMY. :CK- ORIGIN OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM!, Many theories have been propounded at different periods of the history of astronomy, respecting the original formation of our Solar System, as well as all other suns and systems, which it has pleased the great creator op all things to call into existence, but no one has gained so great favor or excited so violent opposition, as the theory first proposed by Sir Wil- liam Herschel, and afterwards more especially applied by the celebrated La Place to the formation of the solar system. This theory may be thus stated: — In the beginning all the matter composing the sun, planets, and satellites was diffused through space, in a state of exceedingly minute division, the ultimate particles being held asunder by the repulsion of heat. In process of time, under the action of gravitation, th-^* mass assumed a round or globular shape, and the particles tending to the centre of gravity, a motion of rotation on an axis would commence. The great mass, now gradually cool- ing and condensing, must increase its rotary motion, thereby increasing the centrifugal force at the equator of the revolv- ing mass, until, finally, a ring of matter is actually detached from the equator, and is left revolving in space by the shrink- ing away from it, of the interior mass. If now we follow this isolated ring of matter, we find every reason to believe that its particles will gradually coalesce into a globular form, and in turn form satellites, as it was itself formed. It is unneces- sary to pursue the reasoning further, for the same laws which produce one planet from the equator of the central revolving mass, may produce many — until finally, the process is ended by a partial solidification of the central mass, so great, that gravity aided by the attraction of cohesion, is more than suf- ficient to resist the action of the centrifugal force, and no fur- ther change occurs. - (106) SKETCHES OP ASTRONOMY. 107 It has been urged in favor of this theory, that it accounts for the striking peculiarities which are found in the organiza- tion of the solar system. That the rings of Saturn are positive proofs of the truth of the theory, they having cooled and con- densed without breaking. That the individuals constituting a system thus produced, must revolve and rotate as do the planets and satellites, and in orbits of the precise figure and position, as those occupied by the planets. It accounts for the rotation of the sun on its axis, and presents a solution of the strange appearance connected with the sun called the Zodiacal Light. It goes further and accounts for the forma- tion of single, double, and multiple suns and stars — and by the remains of chaotic matter in the interstics between the stars, and which are finally drawn to some particular sun, whose in- fluence in the end preponderates, accounts for the comets which enter our system from every region in space. In support of this theory it has been urged that the comets, in their organization, presents us with specimens of this finely divided nebulous or chaotic matter — and that the telescope reveals cloudy patches of light of indefinite extent, scattered throughout space, which give evidence of being yet unformed and chaotic. That many stars are found in which the bright nucleus or centre is surrounded by a halo or haze of nebulous light, and that round nebulous bodies are seen with the teles- cope, of an extent vastly greater than would fill the entire space encircled by the enormous orbit of the planet La Verrier, or having a diameter greater than 7,000 millions of miles. Such are a few of the arguments in support of this most ex- traordinary theory. We now present the objections which have been most strongly insisted on. The retrogade motions of the satellites of Herschel, and their great inclination to the plane of the ecliptic can not be accounted for by this theory. That computation shows that no atmosphere of con- densed nebulous matter can extend to so great a distance from the sun, as does the matter composing the Zodiacal Light, and, finally, that the nebulous matter in the heavens will ulti- mately be resolved into immense congeries and clusters of stars, whose great distance has hitherto defied the power of the best instruments. In reply to the first objection, the friends of the theory doubt 108 SKETCHES OP ASTRONOMY. the facts with reference to the satellites of Herschel. They reply that the matter composing the Zodiacal Light being in the nature of cometary matter, is thrown to a greater distance from the sun than gravity would warrant, by that power resid- ing in the sun which is able on the approach of comets to project those enormous trains of light, which sometimes render them so wonderful. As to the last objection, it is urged that although many nebulo9 will doubtless be resolved into stars, by using more powerful telescopes, yet that these same teles- copes will reveal more now nebula3 which cannot be resolved, than they will resolve — and as to the existence of nebulous matter, it is perfectly demonstrated by the physical organiza- tion of comets, and the existence of nebulous stars. Such was the state of the Astronomical argument, when Lord Rosse's Great Reflector was first applied to the explora- tion of the distant regions of space. In a religious point of view, this theory had excited no small amount of discussion, in consequence of its supposed Atheistical tendencies. The friends of the theory contend that it was no more Atheistical to admit the formation of the universe by law, than to acknowl- edge that it is now sustained by laws. Indeed since we must go to the first great cause for matter in its chaotic state, as well as for the laws which govern matter, that this theory gave to us a grander view of the omniscience and omnipotence of God than could be obtained from any other source. In fine, that it harmonized with the declaration of scripture, which tells us that "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was witJwut form and void." If the earth came into existence in its present condition, then it had forin and was not void. Hence, this first grand declaration of the inspired writer must refer to the formation of the matter of which the heavens and earth were afterwards formed. Some went so far as to trace out dimly a full account of this theory in the order of creation, as laid down in Gensis. Let us now proceed to the discoveriesof Lord Rosse, and their influence on this greatly disputed theory. The space penetrat- ing power of his six feet reflector is much greater than that of Sir William lierschel's great telescope, and it was anti- cipated that many nebulae which were unresolved into clusters of stars by Hershel, would yield under the greater power and light of Lord Rosse's telescope. This has proved to be the 8KETCEES OP ASTRONOMY. 109 fact. Very many nebulae have been removed from their old places, and must hereafter figure among the clusters, while we are informed that many yet remain, even of the old nebulae, which defy the power of the monster telescope. The most remarkable object which has been resolved by Lord Rosse, is the great nebula in Orion, one of the most extraordinary objects in the heavens. Its size is enormous, and its figure very extraordinary. In certain parts adjoining the nebula the heavens are jet hlach^ either from contrast or by the vacuity of these regions. Two immense spurs of light are seen to project from the principal mass of the nebula, and to extend to a most extraordinary distance. This will be better understood, by remembering that at the distance at which this nebula is removed from us, the entire diameter of the earth's orbit, 190 millions of miles, is an invisable XJoint, less than one second, while this nebula extends to many thousands of times this distance, and more probably to many millions of times. Several stars have been found, and are visible on the nebula, but have hitherto been regarded as being between the eye of the observer and this remote object. Sir William Ilerschel was unable to resolve this mysterious body, and yet the nebula gave indications of being of the resolvable kind by its irreg- ular and curdled appearance under high powers. Several years since Dr. J. Lamont, of Munich, after a rigid scrutiny, of this nebula with his great Refractor, pronounced a portion of it to be composed of minute stellar points^ and predicted its final perfect resolution into stars by greater power. This pre- diction has been fully verified, for Lord Rosse's great Reflector has solved the mystery, and filled this extraordinary object with the "jewelry of stars." But the question recurs, what have the defenders of the nebular theory lost, or its enemies gained by this interesting discovery? We are all liable to reach conclusions too hastily, and to join issue on false points. If the nebular theory depen- ded for its existance upon the irresolvability of the nebula in Orion, then indeed has the theory been entirely exploded. But this is not tlie fact. No ono has asserted that the great nebula in Orion was nebulous matter^ and if it were not, then none existed. Such an issue would have been a false cnei, had it been made. The theory has neither lost nor gained by the discoveries 110 SKETCHES OF ASTRONOMY. thus far made; what time may develope it is impossible to say. In case certain data can be obtained, which appear to be accessible, then indeed may we demonstrate its truth or lalse hood, by mathematical investigation. Until then, the safer plan is neither to adopt nor reject, but investigate until abso- lute tru(h shall reward our long continued labor, and reveal the mystery of the organization of that stupendous system, ol which our humble planet forms an insignificant part. — SmU/i's Astronomy. The sun is the center of the solar system, around which all other planets belonging to our universe revolve. The names of all the primary planets that have been discovered that con- stitute "the solar system, are the Sun, Mercury, Venus, the Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Herschel, Uranus, Neptune, and twenty-three asteroids, or small planets. The approximate distance each of the large planets travel in making one revo- lution around the sun is about as follows : Mercury, number of miles 220,000,000 Venus, ' 408,000,000 Earth, " " " 570,000,000 Mars, " " " 852,000,000 Jupiter, " " " 2,910,000,000 Saturn, " " " 5,340,000,000 Herschel, " " " 10,800,000,000 LaVerrier " '• " „ _17,100,000,000 COMETS. Very little is known of the physical nature of comets. They are thought by some astronomers to be about as dense as smoke. They are bodies that revolve around the sun in very elongated orbits, and some astronomers think that the greater number visit our system but once, and then fly oiF in nearly straight lines, and go to revolve around other suns in the far-ofT distant heavens. The length of the tail of a comet» as measured by astronomers, seem almost incredible. Comet of 1680, length of the tail 123,000,000 miles.

SKETCHES OP ASTRONOMY. HI DIRECTIONS FOR FINDING THE NORTH STAR, AT ANY TIME. Every pupil should be instructed in the manner of pointing out the North Star at any time of the night. If they are ena- bled to do this at any time, it will assist them in making other important observations, as well as being of use on many occa- sions which occur in the life of every man. Many persons have been lost in 2i prairie or other unfrequented places, when if they had been able to have told the points of the compass they could have extricated themselves from their lost situa- tion. This may be done in a very easy manner. There is hardly a child of ten years of age who cannot at any time of night point out the stars in the Great Bear which form what is called the Great Dipper. Now if an imaginary line be drawn through the two stars which form the front edge of the Dipper, from the bottom towards the top, and continued about 20 de- grees, it will pass very near the North Star— so near that it cannot be mistaken, there being no other stars of that magni- tude near it. It should be borne in mind that this rule holds good in whatever position the Dipper may be at the time. — Smit/i's Illustrated Astronomy. ECLIPSES. Eclipses are among the most interesting phenomena pre- sented to us by the heavenly bodies. In all ages, when an eclipse has taken place, it has excited the profound attention of the learned, and the fears and superstitions of the ignorant. The causes of eclipses before the seventeenth century were known only to a few, and they generally took advantage of this knowledge to impose upon the credulity of (he ignorant by pretending that they were inspired by the Gods. Among the ancient nations, the Chaldeans were the foremost in their observations of the phenomena of the heavens ; perhaps tlis was owing in some measure to their occupation ; they being shepherds were obliged to watch their flocks by night to pro- tect them from the wild beasts which were at that time num- erous. Men under such circumstances would naturally be led to watch closely the movements of the heavenly bodies, and more especially so, for in the earlier periods of the world they had no correct mode of reckoning time in order to deter- mine the seasons or the proper seed time and harvest. Eclipses attracted the particular attention of the Chaldeans, 112 SKETCHES OP ASIRONOMY. and by a series of observations extended through several cen- turies, thty discovered a very important fact relating to eclipses, although they did not understand the cause. By comparing the records which had been made for a great length of lime, they found that a certain period of time elapsed between eclipses of tiie same kind and magnitude; that is, if 18 years, 11 days, 7 hours and 43 minutes, were added to the time of the happening of any eclipse, it would show the time of the return of the same eclipse; the only differences would be that it would not happen at the same time in the day and it would be a little greater or less than the previous eclipse — thus they were able to predict eclipses with sufficient accu- racy to answer their designs upon the ignorant without under- standing the laws by which these periodical returns were produced. To explain this briefly, it must be remembered that the moon's orbit makes an angle with the plane of the earth's or- bit of 5^ deg.; these two points where the moon's orbit cuts the plane of the earth's orbit, are called nodes. Now we will suppose that on any day at noon it is new moon, and the moon is just 16 deg. from her descending node, the shadow of the moon would just touch the earth at the north pole ; in 223 lu- nations, or 18 years, 11 days, 7 hours, 43 minutes thereafter, the moon would come nearly to the same position as it was at the beginning, consequently there would be another small eclipse of the sun, and at the expiration af every 223 lunations it would return, and at each return the moon's shadow would pass across the earth a little more to the south until the eclipse had appeared about 77 times, when it would pass off at the south pole, occupying a period of 1,388 years : The same period would not commence again until the expiration of 12,- 492 years. Each eclipse which takes place during any year, be- longs to a separate and similar period. Those periods of eclipses which come in at the moon's ascending node, first come on to the earth at the south pole, and at each return the moon's shadow passes across the earth more to tlie north, and after appearing about 77 times, they finally leave the earth at the north pole. — SmiWs Astronomy. SKETCHES OF ASTRONOMY. 113 IMMENSITY OF SPACE. Great is the immensity of space. Light travels at the rate of one hundred and ninety-two thousand miles per second and yet at this great speed it would take it over thirty million years to come from some of the far off nebulas to the earth. Some ideas of the immensity of space may be gathered by the calculation of the distance that light would travel in thirty millions of years, and then supposing that the distance ascer- tained by the calculation, was to the remaining distance as one drop of water is to the ocean. In all probability the most powerful telescope has only brought to view a small portion of creation. The nearest fixed stars, according to the best astronomical calculation, 20,000,000,000,000 of miles from the earth. To assist the mind of the reader to get some idea of the immensity of this distance, I have taken the pains to make the following calculation: Suppose that when the Lord past sentence upon Cain for killing his brother, that he had banished him to the nearest fixed star, and had caused a whirlwind or some other power to have taken him at the rate of one thousand miles an hour day and night from that time till now, counting the time past six thousand years, at 360 days travel to the year, he would have traveled at the end of the six thousand years only one 3.80ih part of the distance, and at the same rate of speed at the end of two million years from this time he would not reach his destination, but would yet be one trillion three hun- dred and eighty-two billion four hundred million miles from his future home, or place of banishment. So you see that after two million and six thousand years travel at the enormous speed of one thousand miles an hour, leaves a distance yet untraveled equal to about fifty -five million times the distance of Cook's voyage around the earth.

The number of Protestants of the world, according to the statistics of all nations, is about as follows : United States 33,000,000 Great Britain and Ireland 25,000,000 Asia and Armenia 5,000,000 British America and West Indies 4,000,000 France, Belgium and Holland 5,000,000 South America 1,500,000 Sweden, Norway and Denmark 7,600,000 The German Empire 25,000,000 Throughout the rest of the world 13,000^000 Total 121.000,000 Or about one in every fourteen of the inhabitants of the world are Protestants. Of this number there is about one in every four identified with or members of the different Protestant churches of the world. It then follows that the entire membership of all the Protestant churches of the world amounts to one in fifty-six of the inhabitants. The number of Roman Catholics (approximately correct) is as follows: United States 3,500,000 Great Britain and Ireland 6,000,000 Eussia 7,200,000 South America 21,000,000 France 36,000,000 Austria and Venetia 28,000,000 Spain 17,000,000 Other parts of the world 60,000,000 Total 200,900,000 Pagans, or those who worshipped idols, or created things or beings^ they number near three-fourths of the entire inhabitants of the earth. They number at present about 1,000,000,000. This includes the Moham- medans, the Buddhists and the Mormons, or Latter Day Saints. Of this number there is to be found in the United States, of Mormons, 75,000.

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, Va., 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 Bakes To organize a Sabbath School, And helped him set the stakes. (125) 126 SABBATH SCHOOLS.

HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY The county of Hamilton was organized in 1823, and was named in honor of Alexander Hamilton, vvdio was killed in a duel with Aaron Burr in 1804. It is bounded on the north by Tipton, east by Madison, south by Hancock and Marion, and west by Boone and Clinton counties, and contains 400 square miles. There are nine townships in the county, viz.: Nobles- ville, Washington, Clay, Delaware, Fall Creek, Wayne, White River, Adams and Jackson. The population in 1830 was 1,705, in 1840 9,855, and and at the last census, 1870, it was 23,347. Of these only 391 were of foreign birth, and 634 were colored. The plane of the county is either level or gently undulating^ and with very limited exceptions the soil is but seldom surpassed in any other part of the State. It is admirably adapted to the cultivation of wheat, corn, grass, and all the other products of the country. There are along White river a few dry, rich prairies, and at the heads of Cicero and Stony Creeks a number of wet ones ; but they are mostly small, and when properly drained constitute a rich and productive soil. The county, gen- erally, is well timbered with good proportions of oak, poplar, walnut, sugar, hickory and beech. In geological developments and mineral resources the county 132 HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY. as yet is undeveloped. Recently a fine quarry of beautiful white stone has been discovered in White River Township, which promises, if worked with any enterprise, to furnish a splendid building stone for all the future edifices of the sur- rounding country. In gravel of the very best quality, the whole county is found underlaid with rich beds, such as will af- ford cheap facilities for graveling all the roads in it. Several hundred miles of fine gravel roads have already been made, and the Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago Railroad has obtained the chief gravel for the entire southern division of their track from pits in this county. The beautiful undulating changes of the whole face of the country present numerous and attractive localities for home building purposes, such as will doubtless some day make the rural scenery of this county a perfect garden spot of agricultu- ral life and prosperity, such as no other portions of the State will excel. The waters of White River abound with a rich va- riety of fish, which afford to the sporting portions of the com- munity fine opportunities both of pleasure and profit. True, in these mod^n days, when almost every one seems to think that the chief end of man is to make money, the fishing business is not so devoutly followed as in the days of other years. And yet, we can not but believe that many would do well yet, as they used to say, " to call it a half day," at least now and then, " and go a fishing," as the practice when prudently followed has in it, even in these modern days, more real life than the constant dives which the million are making for gold, gold, gold. The railroad facilities within the county are, as yet, mainly limited to a single line, viz : that of the Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago road. In 1850 this great thoroughfare was completed to Noblesville, and within a brief period was finished to Peru. It has since been continued to Michigan City, with immediate connections with Chicago without change of cars. HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY. 1^3 Under the efficient Presidency of the Hon. David Macy, this grand trunk has become one of the leading thoroughfares of the State. Running, as it does, from south to north, directly through the center of the county, it affords to almost every por- tion of it facilities of exportation and importation such as give to business men and farmers as prompt a market as the country- affords. A new east and west road is now being made through the county, crossing the Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago R. R. at the county seat, which doubtless will, when completed, add no little to the intrinsic value of the lands of the county, as well as to the business interests of the county seat, also. This new thor- oughfare is called ' ' The Anderson, Lebanon & St. Louis Rail- road." The citizens -of the county generally are taking a com- mendable interest in the making of this road, as they are aware it will develope the agricultural resources of the country in such directions as must in a few years add largely to the wealth as well as to the enterprise of the entire county. The "Bee Line" on the eastern border, and the Lafayette Railroad on the west- ern, offer very good facilities to those portions of the county. It is very apparent to observers that the advancement of the general interests of the farming community, throughout this part of the State, is rapidly inaugurating an entirely new era in the history of its commerce, for the markets of the East are now more than ev^er looking to the West, not only for their needed supply of flour, grain and bacon, but even the poultry and eggs, to say nothing of hundreds of other things, which are so abundantly furnished in this part of the West, are in loud de- mand among all our eastern cities. Of these articles Hamilton county now turns out annually a surplus much larger than many suppose. We are not able here to give definite statistics in re- gard to the shipments of this county, as they are made from so many different points, and through so many various agencies, 134 HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY. that it is almost impossible to get definite information. The single article of lumber alone would of itself make an item of astonishment, and yet its commerce is but just begun. The immense forests, still standing in the pride of past centuries, embody an amount of wealth beyond the calculations of even the most experienced. Manufactories are not here to consume this vast supply of timber, and therefore it must be shipped in its rude state to find its markets where it may. The lack of manufactories in this rich agricultural region is, however, not at all strange, for the chief energies of the citizens of the county are directed to that sort of toil necessary to the natural' productions of the country. Farming, stock raising, trading and commerce demand the services chiefly of the pres ent citizenship. The mechanic, it is true, is here, but only in limited numbers, and the work which he performs will not, in the general way, much more than meet one-tenth of the present home demands. Save in a few of our cities, this, indeed, is one of the marked characteristics of the whole West ; therefore our merchants go East for nearly all their stocks of cloths, calicos and other mercantile products, including ready made clothing, boots, shoes, hats, caps, etc., and even for the very soap which keeps us clean. It is not a matter of wonder, then, with such constant and heavy drainages on the cash capital of the West, that so many of our people are found murmuring at the scarcity of the moneyed circulation. It always has been so, and it always will, as long as the chief currents of our financial streams thus flow to the markets of the East. With the rich soil that Hamilton county possesses, and with such superior agricultural advantages as the masses of the citi- zens have, they should be largely independent of Eastern monop- olies. The misfortune has been that too many have failed to realize their own resources and advantages, and consequently tliev have often fallen short in essential funds on account of HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY. 135 their peculiar penchant for trading, or of their careless wasting of time in looking after some petty office, or perhaps of their waiting, like Macawber, "for something to turn up," instead of going to work with a will and digging gold from the dust of the earth, where, after all, it has to come from. The present is too much a day of ease among many who might work. The iron nerve and daring spirit of the early pioneers of the West should certainly be remembered and imi- tated by their posterity, for then would the song of their life success become the best evidence of their personal independence, as well as of their business and agricultural advancement. It is true, if we turn our eyes back upon the past, in view of gather- ing lessons of practical philosophy from the examples of the early pioneers, we will see that " Man wants but little here below, Nor wants that little long." Yet the simple story of their efforts to live, and the pious con- tentedness which they have so generally displayed amidst the pri- vations and limited resources of their pioneer life, will give us many practical ideas in regard to what constitutes real life, such as can not but benefit us if we will but remember that " History is philosophy teaching by example." Through the kindness of a few of the old pioneers who live at the county seat, and who still linger in " the sere and yellow leaf" of life, who are now honored for their long services as well as for their personal integrity, we have gleaned many inter- esting facts of the early history of Hamilton county, which we wish here to place in permanent form before the public, and which we doubt not will be read by the coming posterities with the deepest interest. In the year 1819, four years before the county was organized, John Finch, Solomon Finch and Israel Finch, with Thaddeus Baxter and William Bush, with their families, made the first col 136 HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY, ony in what is now the county of Hamilton. The treaty with the Indians, conveying" this portion of the country to the proper government of the State, had only taken place the year before, and they of course found the regions of the White River a universal and unbroken wilderness. They settled a mile or so below the present location of Noblesville on or near what was then called the "Horse Shoe Prairie." The following spring John Finch built a horse mill to grind their corn, making the burrs himself out of what is known as "nigger heads." This famous mill, built of logs, soon became "the corn meal hope " of the whole country down White River for 30 miles, as there was no Indianapolis yet. Indian trails were the only thorough- fares through the wilderness. All parties who came to this mill had to furnish their own running power, and as they paid no toll they could well afford this. The style of living, as a matter of necessity, was in those days simple and plain, and the social intercourse of the few fam- ilies of the little colony was wholly of the honest and generous stamp. As young and primitive as this community then was, it had in it the elements of an advancing civilization, for immedi- ate steps were taken to organize among them the institutions of civil government. The county being organized in the spring of 1823, the first court was held in the month of November of that same year. The meeting of this court constituted an era of great interest among the sparse settlements, which were chiefly along White River ; and as no county seat had as yet been located, the court was ordered to convene at William Conner's farm, some five miles below where Noblesville now stands. John D. Stephenson had been commissioned by His Excellency, Governor William Hendricks, clerk of said court, and John Finch and William C. Blackmore had been appointed associate judges. Hon. W. W. Wick was the presiding judge of the district, which was termed the "Fifth Judicial District of the State." HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY. 137 As the burdens of this first court of the county of Hamilton were not supposed to be very onerous, the parties concerned, including the honorable Court, and James M. Ray, a lawyer from Indianapolis, and a number of witnesses, together with a few hangers-on, who desired in some way to be counted in the judicial crowd, started in a frolicsome sort of style to the impro- vised "court house" — which was only a simple log cabin — by way of the river. Their canoe was a large one, and to all hu- man appearances seemed to be well manned. Besides the men in it, it contained a stock of provisions, a lot of blankets, some cooking utensils, and a keg of whisky. They had not gone very far down the river before they found the boat was getting very unsteady. The fault, however, evidently was not in the rough- ness of the river, but rather in the extracted contents of that keg of whisky. The "boys," as men often called themselves in those early times, had all got sort of "wabbly," and the conse- quence was the canoe was upset, and they were all spilled out into the river. The honorable Court, it is said, made good time for the nearest shore. James M. Ray, as he could not swim, stuck to the canoe until he was rescued, while one "J. K. Lem- ing struck out like a runaway steamboat," after the half-sinking and half-floating keg, as he well knew that none of the party would dare be so uncharitable as to blame their misfortunes upon it. The clerk of the court had his official docket along with him, and we are able to affirm, as we have the book now before us, that its unceremonious immersion in " the classic wa- ters of White River," gives still good and sufficient evidence of its Christian character. For a while this judicial mishap looked like a serious affair, but by prompt effort everything was brought to shore, the canoe righted up and baled out, and they were ready again to proceed on their journey. A witness along, by the name of Foster, who was very bad off with the rheumatism, when he found him- 138 HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY. self head over ears in the water, was terribly frightened lest the exposure should prove his death — of course he had to swim or drown, and Judge Colburn says, " it was rich to see him lash the water into a foam as he paddled ashore, dog-fashion." From that day, however, he discovered that his fright and immersion had scared the rheumatism from his joints, so that in the future he could stand as straight as any other man, as the Judge says, " save when he got tight." The whole party of course was refreshed with this little epi- sode, and when everything had been reorganized, they started again on down the river, wiser and perhaps more sober than otherwise. Arriving at the court house, viz., the cabin of Mr. William Conner, the court was opened in due and legal form. The minutes of this court, which we have on our table, we see were kept in a style which reflects well on the clerical abilities and experience of the clerk. General John D. Stephenson, and shows that each officer had received his commission from the Governor, and that the court was fully prepared for all legal business. There were only two or three cases brought before this Court during its session of two days, and these were only of minor importance. One of them was for selling liquor without license. Of course the fellow was properly fined. We notice that the jurors got seventy-five cents per day, and the associate judges two dollars. The Prosecuting Attorney was allowed ^20.00 for the term. At a subsequent court held at this same log cabin, Governor Jennings visited it on an electioneering tour. He was a candi- date for Congress, and finding the Grand Jury out on a log, he sent off and got a two gallon jug full of whisky, which was drank by the crowd. It is scarcely necessary to say that the Governor got all their votes, and was elected. Among the distinguished citizens of this early period in the -HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNT\ . 139 history of this county we find the names of William Conner, who was the founder of Connersville, in Fayette county, and represented that county in the Legislature of 182 1-2, and came here a few years later. Wm. Warwick was the first Sheriff of the county. Gen. John D. Stephenson, who was born in Lewis county, Ky., in 1801, came to this county, or rather to White River, in 1822; he and his good wife are still Hving, honored relics of the olden times. Judge Jonathan Colburn, who was born in Somerset county, Pa., in 1799, came first to White River in 1820, in the surveying service, with Major John Hen- dricks, the father of our present Governor. Judge Colburn in many respects is a remarkable man. He served extensively in surveying the sectional boundaries of a number of the eastern counties of the State, and came to this county to settle in 1823. He assisted in raising the first log cabin which was built in Noblesville, in 1824, by Dr. John Finch. He served the county as Associate Judge, and afterward as Sheriff In some way or other the Judge has been associated with the courts of this county ever since. At the present period, 1874, he is still, for his age, a vigorous minded, hale old man, having outlived the wife of his youth and nearly all of his children ; but, like many a worthy relic who has gone before him, he is now blessed with a second wife^ and seems " As young in years and full of joy, As though life was but a happy spring tide." H. G. Finch, who was born in New York in 1807, and who is the son of John Finch who had settled here in 18 19, might almost be said to be "to the manor born." He has witnessed every step of the civilization of the country, and while he has figured for many years as one of the first business men of the county seat, he yet carries about him the energy of an active life. Dr. John Finch was the first physician who settled in the county, but a few brief years carried him to his grave. 140 HISTORY OF IIAMII.I'ON COUNTY. A. J. Lacy \vas the first white child born in tlie count)'. Malvina, daughter of Gen. Jolin D. Stephenson, was the first female child born in Noblesville, which occurred in the year 1825. The first male child was a son of Col. F. B. Cogswell, who is now Col. IMilton Cogswell of the U. S. Army, and at this time is living in Indianapolis. The first Sunday school was taught at " Horse Shoe Prairie '" as early as 1820 b)- Curtis Mallorey, a Presbyterian. The first day school was taught by Miss Sarah b^inch about the same time. The first baptism administered was in White River, the sub- jects being Margaret Finch and Sally Finch, and the first mar- riage in the town was performed by 'Squire F. B. Cogswell. Mr. Goe and Miss Garrett being the happy contracting parties. The first marriage of the settlement, however, was William Conner and Flizabeth Chapman. Within a year after the organization of the county, the county seat was located, and called Noblesville in honor of James Noble, United States Senator. The removal of the civil records and of the court from the cabin of William Conner, up the river five miles, was of course an easy work, and in a little while sev- eral cabins were erected, and the town of Noblesville began to be known as a place of some business and promise. The rich soil and the beautiful plain on which the town was located, in a short time drew many families to settle in it, and though for many years the Finch's, Conner's and Stephenson's were the leading families of the place, the numerous immigra- tions soon gave it as well as the county considerable geographi- cal importance. As early as 1830 Noblesville had grown to be quite a village. It had its courts and civil magistrates, its mer- chants, lawyers and doctors, who through the wants of the country, the litigations of the courts, and the autumnal miasms of the White River bottoms, managed to keep up the usual HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY. I4I show of civilization, and to furnish a living for all such officials. The necessaries of life were of course generally cheap, and they dwelt pretty much as one people. A year or so after this the Jackson men started up a printing office and publi-shed a paper called Tlie Little Western, Lucius H. Emmons being the editor. Of course they soon made things rather hot around the heads of those on the other side of politics, and it was not long until a company was organized and another paper was instituted, called the Intelligetuer. Both of these newspapers must have had a hard time to live ; but as the fight waxed warm between them, one of the .stockholders of the hitelligencer, becoming a little tired of being bled so often to keep it up, suggested the happy idea that they could kill off their Jackson opponents with a great deal more certainty if the}* would only run the type of their offices into bullets and use their rifles on them. But like all other paper wars the revela- tions of coming events taught these rural parties wisdom, and they quit the fight for the time being at least, well .satisfied that it was a little difficult to attempt to run newspapers with wiiid only. The newspaper history of the county generally would show that the professioji had been a precarious one throughout, for the changes have been numerous both in publishers and ed- itors, and in many instances, as it has been also elsewhere, the dignity of the Tripod, like the old woman's marriage life, has only had a " poor house " finality. And yet it will not be denied that in the citizenship of the county through all its history, the standard of respectability has been quite a substantial one. Whether in the town or county, the order of intelligence as well as morality has been almost uniformly of the better school, and the consequence has been that Hamilton county has always been able to present as fair an average of citizenship as any other in the commonwealth. George Shirts kept the first hotel ever known in the county. 142 HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY. His wife was a daughter of Solomon Finch, and it was said of her that she knew how to bake as nice a corn pone as could be ate between Indianapolis and the Wabash. Mr. Shirts erected the first frame house ever built in Noblesville. At his "tavern" the whole court used to domicile during its session, and Judge Wick used to remark that "it was the best corn pone stopping place in the Fifth Judicial District." George Shirts died in 1840. Among the physicians of the county, Dr. Raymond W. Clark, who is yet in active life as a retired physician and resident of Noblesville, has officiated with no ordinary success in many cases of human sufiTering. Though now classed among "the fathers in materia medica," the doctor is still " dealing out pills " to his special friends as if resolved on doing good with all his harness on. The doctor has a fine library to which he is still deeply devoted. Dr. T. T. Butler, who passed away in 1870, had been since 1832 a practicing physician in the town and county, and to his medical skill and kind attentions many no doubt have been in- debted for the improvement of their health and the continuation of their lives. The personal dignity and high integrity of Dr. .Butler had given him a high standing both as a citizen and as a Christian gentleman, and when he died, in August, 1870, at the age of 65, his death was universally and deeply lamented. The farm of Charles Lacy, some three miles below town, has been known for many years as one among the best in the county. Mr. Lacy was classed as a farmer with the first among the hon- est and economical. This memorable example, it may be said, still shines. His valuable farm is now the property of his son John, who still holds it in cultivation. The first office built in the county seat, which was erected for the clerk of the county, is yet standing on the southwest cor- ner of the public square. It is of brick, and is some fifteen feet HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY. I43 square and one story high. It is said that when they got this office room plastered the exhileration of the citizens was so great that they celebrated the event with a big Indian dance, which, as one tells us, ' ' would have done honor to the best days of Davy Crocket." When Dr. John Finch died, in 1826 or 7, he was succeeded in his practice by Dr. Amos Palmer, who was for many years a successful and popular physician, and died about 1848. An interesting story is told of the first landlord of Noblesville, Mr. George Shirts. Of course the pristine village was without a market house, and the good lady of the hotel sometimes was a little pushed to supply her table with meat. On one occasion, when she had company, she said to her husband, ' ' George, what will I do for meat for dinner?" "How long can you wait? " he asked. " Why, half an hour," she responded. The landlord, who was a shoemaker, threw off his apron and seized his rifle, and went out of the village about five hundred yards to a big spring toward the river, where in ten minutes he shot a nice young buck, and in twenty minutes more he was back again with as fine a supply of meat as any market of the world could have afforded. The bar of Hamilton county has always held a high rank among the other bars of the State. It is true but few of the members of this bar have ever won much of a State reputation, because but few of them ever turned politicians. For the most part they have aimed to be lawyers and nothing else. The just settlement of judicial difficulties they have known was the legiti- mate purpose of their calling, and to this end the most of them have devoted both their time and energies. Earl S. Stone is now the oldest lawyer at this bar. He is perhaps 60 years of age. His peculiar distinction has been as a special pleader, and in this role but few lawyers who have plead at this bar have ex- celled him. 144 HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY. Wm. Garver is also growing hoary as a member of this bar. He has long maintained the reputation of being an able jurist, and b)' his invincible energy he has won a distinguished repu- tation. Gen. David Moss, as a wheel-horse at the bar, is well known through the county and over the State as one of the best law- yers in it. Bold, decided and conscientious, his devotion to his profession has grown to be a passion, and he figures away with assiduous interest in his office as well as in the courts, as if the issues of the eternal fates hung upon his efforts. Of course he is successful. J. W. Evans holds the empire of an intellectual power over the courts of the county, and his eloquence in criminal cases is said to excel all others. His genial spirit has only to be known to be appreciated. Thomas Jefferson Kane, a cion of Pennsylvania, stands high as the key-stone member of the Hamilton Bar. What he is in legal power and forensic abilities has placed him in the front ranks of his county as a lawyer, and it is somewhat of a w^onder to us that his party has not introduced him in some way to the State at large. Of our young friends Frank M. Trissall and Richard R. Ste- phenson, members of the bar of this county, we might say many things both honorable and commendatory. The future of their histories however will tell the story much better than our pen, and we therefore leave them to their fate with the most compla- cent assurances. Having said this much of the Bar of the county, we would be pleased if we had any proper data to speak as freely and as lib- erally of the ministry of the county, but our information in re- gard to the first preachers is limited, and might be termed even excedingly indefinite. Rev. James Scott, a Methodist circuit rider, was the first HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY. I45 preacher of the gospel, who, in the year 1822-3, under any cir- cumstances, held forth among the denizens of the wilderness in these parts. He was followed by Jesse Haile in 1823-4, and by John Miller in 1824-5. The Baptists were the first denomi- nation to preach salvation to the people along up White River, but who the preachers were among the Baptists, save Elder Mar- tin, seems not to be remembered, even among the oldest inhab- itants. This fact is perhaps not a strange one, for the pioneer preacher who passed through the early settlements preaching "a free gospel," it seems soon passes out of mind everywhere, and those only appear to be remembered who have come among us when the foundations of the churches have been laid, and the salaries have been brought up to a reputable standard. Doubtless many interesting stories might be told of the self-sac- rificing men of all churches who visited the pioneers in their humble cabins, and told them the simple story of the cross with the eloquence of a primitive sincerity. The spirit of these grand old itinerant ministers often carried with it the po\\er of the day of Pentecost, and what they did and said would be trea- sured up as the sacred relics of the better days of an apostolic evangelism. In giving a history of so rich and prosperous a county as this of Hamilton, it would be out of place not to name its court house and jail. They may both be classed with the venerable of the olden years. The latter now stands under consideration as being unfit for any human purpose, while the former, like "the ruins of Palmyra," makes one feel melancholy even to look upon it. The gentlemanly county officers who at present still occupy it deserve a better official domicile, and we are glad to learn that the county commissioners are moving to erect such edifices as will reflect appropriately on the wealth and well- known liberality of the county. The Ledger is at present the only organ of the county, and as 10 4.6 HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY. it is edited with ability and faithfulness, it should receive a large county patronage. If space had been allowed we could and would have noticed many other things, and paid a tribute to many other citizens of the county whose talents and enterprise deserve the public re- spect. What our own fathers have done in the common walks of our advancing civilization is often treated as commonplace, if it is not wholly forgotten. But few men make any record of it, and if any of it ever goes into history it is only in broken frag- ments, or in very indefinite if not apocryphal installments. The history of the first settlements of the west has as much living interest in it, if it could only be gathered up, as that of any other people, either ancient or modern. Even the cabin history of our churches, our courts, our schools, and of thousands of our men and women who were born in them, would be read in the coming years with an inter- est which no romance could excel. The stories of such life might be simple, but the narratives, if properly told, would flash with native sparks from the fires of the higher attributes of humanity, and it would be seen that our race can develop themselves in as true a civilization in the humble life of the cabin as in the marble halls of wealth and pride and ostentatious greatness.

NOBLESVILLE TOWNSHIP. Being the central township of the count}' and the seat of jus- tice — Noblesvillc being in its centre — it is prominent among the other townships of the county in many respects. The residence of many of the most distinguished citizens, and the chief place of business as well as of judicial decisions, as might be ex- pected, as a township, it is in the best state of cultivation, and contains many of the best residences, and also the largest man- ufactories of any township in the county. It is the old age home of a few of the early settlers, of whom we have spoken in the history of the county. More than the half of a century ago they saw the Aborigines of the land as they retired before the footsteps of the white man's civilization, and they lived to see nearly all of their comrades put away in the grave. From decade to decade the township has grown in agricultural resources and beauty, while its chief town of Noblesvillc has gradually advanced in commercial and manufac- turing importance until it is now a well built up and beautiful locality. In county enterprise, however, it would be doing injustice to the facts in the case to say that they had kept pace with the rapid movements of the age. The county is rich, but their court house and jail are poor, and in justice should have been " put on the township" years ago. Why they have been so slow in their improvements the present deponent knoweth not, but if he was left to guess he would say that the County Com- NOBLESVILLE TOWNSHIP. I49 missioners have been afraid of their fine farms, or they would long since have made the necessary expenditures and left the issues to future generations. We believe that a new court house has been determined upon, and therefore we will not draw the pictures of the present county edifices, albeit they would furnish fine antiquated adornments for the People's Guide. Two and a half miles east of Noblesville the fine merchant mills of G. S. Mayfield are to be seen. The mills of Dill & Kessner, i ^ miles southeast of Nobles- ville, are also prominent. Four and a half miles north of Noblesville the Conner Mills are located. The buildings are large and five stories high, and are now owned by Evans & Clark. The woolen mills of Sinnett & Harper, and the saw mill also in the same locality, are fine improvements. The mill race affording water to these mills was cut through solid rock at a great outlay. There is a splendid flouring mill in the town of Noblesville, and a very well conducted planing mill immediately opposite the depot. STATISTICAL HISTORY.

Jackson Township, one of the most northern, is situated between White River township on the east and Adams town- ship on the west. Tipton county bounds it on the north and Noblesville township on the south. The land is generally roll- ing, making it easy to be drained wherever necessary. The general slope of the land is toward the south. There are four streams — Big Cicero, Little Cicero, Taylor's and Winkle's creek — flowing through the township, which afford an ample supply of water throughout the entire year. The township comprises an area of 56 square miles, contain- ing 35,840 acres of land, capable of the highest degree of farm cultivation. The soil is rich, and well adapted to the raising of all kinds of grain and agricultural products. Plenty of gravel is found here, which the enterprising people are using to make good roads. This increases the value of land, and greatly improves the traveling facilities, as the soil is of such a character that at certain seasons of the year the oads are rendered almost impassible. In the township there are 6 steam flouring merchant mills, 8 steam saw mills, 2 water-power saw mills, 2 stave factories, and 2 buggy and wagon manufactories. The timber growing in this section is, or has been, of the finest oak, ash, walnut, and poplar ; but the enterprising people are rapidly telling on those old forest heroes which have stood the winds and storms of many centuries, and from behind which JACKSON TOWNSHIP. 195 many a red man has shot at the pale face while making his way into the wilderness to find a home. This township contains 5 thriving villages: Buena Vista, or Shielville P. O., Millersburgh, Arcadia, Cicero and Demi'ng. All but the latter are located on the I., P. & C. Railroad. Near the center of the township is a settlement of colored people, numbering perhaps 100. They are very industrious and economical, and sustain good schools and a church. Jackson Township has a total population of about 4000 ; Cicero corporation, about 800. Vote of township in 1872— Republican, 440 ; Democrat, 323 total, jGi. CHURCHES. M. E.

Washington Township is situated in the western portion of the county, and is bounded on the north by Adams and Jack- son, on the east by Noblesville, on the south by Clay and Del- aware townships, and on the west by Boone county, and con- tains an area of 56 square miles. It is watered by Eagle, Cold, and Finley Creeks. Westfield is its largest village, and contains a population of 600. Eagletown and Joliet are also thriving villages. The soil of the township is excellent, the country slightly undulating and finely timbered. Among the first settlers we note the names of Charles Davis, Frank Stultz, Ephraim Stout and Joel Barker, and William Moon, who is the oldest settler in the township now living. Some claim this as the banner township of the county. They have 1 180 school children, and 20 school houses valued at ^12,000. Calvin Hunt, Township Trustee.

Adams Township is bounded on the north by Tipton county, on the east by Jackson township, on the south by Washington, and on the west by Boone and CHnton counties, being situated in the northwest corner of the county, and contains 48 square miles. Among many it is supposed to be the third township in the county. The surface is level, the soil fertile, and its princi- pal timber is burr oak, walnut, poplar, and ash, with a fair sup- ply of beech, sugar, and elm. It has several clear streams run- ning through it, the chief of which is Cicero, with numerous ditches, which are filled with stock water throughout most of the year. There are three post-offices in the township, and two lively villages — Boxley and Sheridan — both of which are voting precincts. The first settlement of the township was on the spot where Boxley now stands, George Boxley's family gave name to the village, and Addison Boxley was the first postmaster. The first Justices of the Peace were Reuben Tanzey and James Lackey. Boxley was laid out in 1836. The old residence of George Boxley still stands a relic of the olden years. It is beautifully surrounded with a domestic forest of pine, cedar and fruit trees, evidences of both taste and utility. Boxley is incor- porated, and contains a population of about 200. Sheridan also contains about 200 inhabitants, although it is only of recent growth. It is well worthy of notice for the en- ergy of its business men, and for its village enterprise. The lumber and stave business of the place is very considera- 288 HAMILTON COUNTY. ble. There are perhaps 13 miles of gravel road in the township. T. B. Spencer claims to have split the first rails, built the first cabin, and to have made the first clearing in the township. Among the first settlers of this township were George Box- ley, Washington McKenzie, Samuel McMustry, Thomas Jones, J. A. McLaughlin and John McKinzie, who have all passed away. Those yet living are Coleman Burton, Samuel Burton, Eber Teter, and John Moore. The family of the latter make one of the first of the tovvnship in intelligence, enterprise and good sound constitutions. Vote of 1872 — Republican, 340; Democratic, 152; total, 492. CHURCHES.

This township is in the northeast corner of the county, and is bounded as follows : On the north by Tipton county, on the east by Madison county, on the south by Wayne and Nobles- ville townships, and on the west by Jackson township, and contains an area of 56 square miles. The township is generally level, except along the course of White River, which runs across its southeast corner, where the land is rolling and somewhat hilly. The soil is rich, and where well drained is very productive. The bottom land yields im- mense crops of corn, and the more heavy soil fine crops of wheat. No township in the county, perhaps, is so abundantly supplied with stock water as this ; White River, Duck Creek, Bear Creek, and Pipe Creek are the principal streams. This was one of the first settled townships of the county, and we have been informed that it lacked but one vote of making the village of Strawtown in this township the capital of the State. The entire township is well supplied with timber. The school privileges are good, and the cause of education is advancing. Among the first settlers of the township may be mentioned Elias Johnson, who came here in 1833 when the whole country was largely a wilderness and public roads were a thing unknown. He cut and carried on his own shoulders the poles to build his cabin, where the Indians greatly outnumbered the whites, and wild turkeys and pea vines were as plenty as corn and hogs are at the present day. Population of township according to census of 1870, is 2,047. WHITE RIVER TOWNSHIP. 321 Vote of the township in 1872 was 409. Voting precinct, Strawtown. Michael Knapp is Township Trustee. CHURCHES.

Clay Township is situated in the southwest corner of the county, and is bounded as follows : On the north by Washing- ton township, on the south by Marion county, on the east by Delaware township, and on the west by Boone county. Its area is 30 square miles, and though the smallest in the county it is by no means the least in importance. Level in its general surface, and rich in its soil, this fertile township presents a fine agricultural appearance, and indicates in its beautiful farm homes, wealth, comfort, and prosperity. Its citizens are intelligent and enterprising, and maybe set down as being substantial as well as industrious. The land was well timbered with oak and walnut, but the lat- ter has been well cut away, and the country, as it is now cleared up, shows many of the foot tracks of the newer age. The waters of the township are William's Creek and Long Branch, both small streams of no value for milling purposes, yet still important in many other particulars. Carmel, one half of which belongs to this township, is a pleasant village, and is the voting precinct. The Friends make up a considerable portion of the citizen- ship; hence, the general society is quiet, orderly, and well in formed. Temperance and sobriety are highly regarded, and the state of society is fully ecjual to any portion of the county. Poplar Grove Academy, of this township, is a flourishing in- stitution, and speaks well for the citizens of its locality. The original organization of the township runs back to the CLAY TOWNSHIP. 343 year 1827. The first entry of land was made by Benjamin Mendenhall, of Delaware township, in favor of an old Indian chief by the name of "Ketchem." His rude cabin was the first built in the township. Being the first settler, the old chief for a long while had all things his own way. All the game of the woods was his, and the winds of the wild forests made mu- sic only for his ears. The old fellow, however, did not know how to take bees from their tree-top homes, for on one occasion he tried it, when the insect warriors commenced battle upon him, and he had to save himself by jumping, which broke a leg. A few years of white man's civilization filled old Ketchem with disgust, and he again sought the more congenial society of his own people. To-day his rude cabin is gone — no trace of it remains. The land on which it stood is now owned by S. Hawkins, Esq., whose tasteful dwelling is a prominent one in the township. Stephen Hiatt, Eli Johnson, Nathan Harold, Barnaby Newby, Daniel Warren, and Isaac Rich, are among the first settlers of this township. Two or three of them are yet living, and in their memories are to be found the only true knowledge of the early years. To put off but even a few days longer, the gather- ing of early incidents in this township would have necessitated the detail of only a second hand history. The memories of these hardy pioneers should never be suffered to perish. Vote of the township in 1872: Republican, 223; Democrat, 90; total, 313. Township Trustee, R. E. Frink. CHURCHES.

DELAWARE TOWNSHIP. Delaware Township occupies the central southern portion of the county, and is bounded on the north by the eastern part of Washington and Noblesville townships ; on the east by Fall Creek township ; on the south by Marion county ; on the west by Clay township. It comprises an area of 30 square miles. White River flows diagonally from northeast to southwest across the township, with numerous small creeks emptying into it, making the township a well watered portion of the county. The land is generally level and well timbered. The soil is rich, pro- ductive, and easy of cultivation, producing wheat, corn, and all other grains in abundance. This is good evidence of the indus- try as well as of skillful management of its inhabitants. There are two villages within its bounds — New Britton and Carmel. It will be seen, from its numerous societies, that it is not behind the other townships of the county in moral enter- prise or in fraternal associations. William Conner, William Wilkinson, John Conner, and Silas Moffet were the first settlers of the township. Conner's Mill, at Horse Shoe Bend, was built in 1825, the first grist-mill north of Indianapolis. Lewis Kinger is Township Trustee. Vote of 1872 — Rep. 209; Dem. 131; total, 340.

In- deed, the soil of the whole township may be counted productive, for there is but little land in it that may not be tilled to advan- tage. It is watered by numerons small creeks, which empty into Stony and Sand Creeks. The timber is principally beech and oak, with some portions of poplar, walnut, and other varie- ties, Hiram Finch and H. C. Mallery were among the first pioneer settlers of this township, having come to White River as early as 1820. The Indians were their neighbors, and for a good while the wild beasts of the forests furnished the only meat they tasted. The cabin, humble and rude though it was, for many years was their home, where they realized as much of life's real joys as any of the present day. The citizenship of to-day class well with the rest of the county in intelligence, wealth, enterprise, and morality. The township is well supplied with churches, schools, lodges, and other frater- nal organizations, all of which are flourishing. C. F. Mallory, Trustee. Vote, 1872 — Rep. 182; Dem. 134; total, 316.

FINE BOOTS, SHOES AND RUBBERS, 3 East Washington St., INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 392 HAMILTON COUNTY. FALL CKEEK TOWNSHIP. This Township is situated in the south-east corner of the county, and is bounded on the north by Wayne and a portion of Noblesville townships; on the east by the southern part of Madison county ; on the south by the north-west part of Han- cock and north-east part of Marion counties ; on the west by Delaware township. Its entire area is 35 square miles. The surface is level, soil rich and exceedingly productive. Some of the lands in the north-west and north-east portions of the town- ship are rather wet, but they are being rapidly improved by drainage. There is no waste land within its limits. The creeks flowing through the township are Mud, Sand, and Fall Creeks. After the latter the township was named. Fall Creek is noted for its water-power, and its bottom lands are not surpassed in richness by any on White River. Corn, wheat, and all other farm products are raised in abund- ance, and with only ordinary labor. The timber consists, chiefly, of oak, poplar, and walnut. The first settlement on Fall Creek was made as early as 1825, and among those pioneers we hear of the names of David Red- wine, Robert Faucet, S. S. Fauset, Henderson Brown, and Michael Souders. Mr. Souders, who is still living, resides on the land he entered, as, also, does Abraham Helms, who settled on Fall Creek when there was not more than three families in the township and not over 300 people in the county. Mr. Helms served ten years as County Commissioner, and although now eighty-four years of age he is still able to work FALL CREEK TOWNSHIP. 393 some on the farm; and in the wood-chopping line he would not yet take off his hat to most of the young bucks of the town- ship. Olio is the only village in this township, and as it is about in the center, it is the voting precinct. In schools and churches, Fall Creek may be said to be well supplied ; however, the township in these respects may not be equal to some of the others. The spirit of intelligent enterprise, however, is commendable in the township, and they are moving up in improvements of various kinds, such as gravel roads, churches, school-houses, and dwellings, with the general spirit of the country. Silas Helm is Township Trustee. Vote of 1872 — Rep. 144; Dem. 197; total, 341. CHURCHES. Mount Zion U. B. Church ; 3 miles north-west of Fortville ; Rev. M.
