Evans, j EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION. : 0 : Whereas^ On the twenty-second day of September, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, a proclamation was issued by the President of the United States, containing among other things the following, to-wit : That, on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, henceforth and forever free, and the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, or any of them, in any elTorts 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 tl>e United States, and as a fit necessary war measure for suppressing said rebellion, do, on this first day of January, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty- three, and in accordance with my purpose so to do, publicly proclaimed for the full period of one hundred days ( 54 ) EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION. 55 from the day of the first above-mentioned order, and desig- nate, as the States and parts of States wherein the people thereof respectively are this day in rebellion againt the United States, the following to-wit : Arkansas, Texas, Louisi- ana, except the parishes of St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Jeffer- son, St. John, St. Charles, St. James, Ascension, Assumption, Terre Bonne, Lafourche, St. Mary, St. Martin and Orleans, in- cluding the city of New Orleans. Mississippi, Alabama, Flor- ida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia, except the forty-eight counties designated as West Virginia, and also the counties of Berkeley, Accomac, Northampton. Elizabeth City, York, Princess Ann, and Norfolk, including the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth, and which excepted parts are, for the present, left precisely as if this proclamation were not issued. And by virtue of the power, and for the purpose aforesaid, I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States and parts of States are, and hencefor- ward, shall be free ; and that the Executive Government of the United States, including the military andnaval 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 affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred ]seal[ and sixty- three, and of the Independence of the Unit- — . — ed States of America the eighty-seventh. By the President ; Abraham Lincoln. William H. Seward, SeGTetary of State. POLITICAL PLATFORMS. :o: PLATFORM OF THE BRECKINRIDGE PARTY OF 1860. Resolved^ That the platform adopted by the Democratie 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 in favor of the acquisi- tion of Cuba, on such terms as shall be honorable to ourselves and just to Spain, at the earliest practicable moment. 5. That the enactments of State Legislatures to defeat the faithful execution of the Fugitive Slave Law are hostile in character, subversive of the Constitution, and revolutionary in their effect. 6. That the Democracy of the United States recognize it as an imperative duty of the government to protect the natural- ( 56 ) POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 67 ized citizen in all his rights, whether in home or in foreign lands, to the same extent as its native born citizens. Whereas, One of the greatest necessities of the age, in a political, commercial, postal, and military point of view, is a speedy communication between the Pacific and Atlantic coasts ; therefore, be it resolved, 7. That the National Democratic party do hereby pledge themselves to use every means in their power to secure the passage of some bill, to the extent of the Constitutional au- thority by Congress, for the construction of a railroad to the Pacific Ccean 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 affirmation of the resolu- tions unanimously adopted and declared as a platform of prin- ciples by the Democratic Convention at Cincinnati, in the year 1856, believing that Democratic principles are unchanga- ble in their nature when applied to the same subject matter, and we recommend as our only further resolutions the follow- ing: That inasmuch as 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 m character, subversive to the Constitution, and revolu- tionary in their effect. Resolved, That it is in accordance with the Cincinnati Plat- form, that during the existence of Territorial Governments, the measure of restriction, whatever it may be, imposed by the Federal Constitution on the power of the Territorial Leg- islature over the subject of the domestic relations, as the same has been or shall hereafter be decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, should be respected by all good citizens, and enforced with promptness and fidelity by every branch of the General Government. THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM OF 1860. Resolved, That we, the delegated representatives of the 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 secure the enjoyment of these rights, deriving their just power from the consent of the governed” — are essential to the jires- 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 resonrces; its rapid augmentation of wealth; its happiness at home and its honor abroad; and we hold in abhorrence all schemes for disnnion, come from whatever source they may ; and we congratulate the country that no Republican member of Congress has nttered 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 cotempo- raneous exposition, and with legislative and judicial prece- dents, that it is revolutionary in its tendency and subversive of the peace and harmony of the country. 8. That the nominal condition of all the territory of the United States is that of freedom; that as our Republican fath- ers, when they had abolished slavery in all our national terri- tory, ordained that no person should be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law, it becomes our duty 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 efficient 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 Rouse of Representatives. 12. That while providing revenue for the support of the General Government, by duties upon imports, sound policy requires such an adjustment of these imports as to encourage the development of the industrial interests of the whole country, and we commend that policy of National Exchange which secures to the working men liberal wages, agriculture remunerative prices, to merchants and manufacturers an ade- POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 61 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 home and abroad. 15. That appropriations by Congress for river and harbor improvements of a national character, is required for the ac- commodation and security of an existing commerce, or au- thorized by the Constitution and justified by the obligation of the Government to protect the lives and property of its citizens. 16. That a railroad to the Pacific ocean is imperatively de- manded by the interests of the whole country ; and that the Federal Government ought to render immediate and efficient aid in its construction, and that preliminary thereto, a daily overland mail should be promptly established. 17. Finally, having thus set forth our distinctive principles and views, we invite the co-operation of all citizens, however differing in other questions, who substantially agree with us, in their affirmance and support. PLATFORM OF THE NATIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL PARTY OF 1860. The Union, the Constitution and the Laws. 62 POLITICAL PLATFOKMS. UNION PLATFOKM, ADOPTED AT BALTIMORE, JUNE 8, 1864. Resolved, That it is the highest duty of every American citizen to maintain against all its enemies, the integrity of the Union, and the paramount authority of the Constitution and laws of the United States, and that, laying all j)olitical opin- ions aside, we i)ledge 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 anj'’ terms of peace, except such as may be based upon an unconditional surrender of their hostility, &c., and a return to their just allegiance to the Constitution and laws of the United States, and that we call upon the Government to maintain this position, and to prosecute the war with the ut- most possible vigor to the complete suppression of the rebel- lion, in full reliance upon the self-sacrifices, the patriotism, the heroic valor, and the undying devotion of the American people to their country and its free institutions. Resolved, That slavery was the cause, and now constitutes the strength of the rebellion, and that as it must be always and everywhere hostile to the principles of Republican Gov- ernments, justice and the national safety demand its utter and complete extirpation from the soil of the Republic, and that we ujihold 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 ov/es 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 difQculy, the great duties and responsibilities of the Presidential ofiice; 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 official trust those only who cordially endorse the principles proclaimed in these resolutions, and which should characterize the administration of the Government. Resolved, That the Government owes to all men employed in its armies, without distinction of color, the full protection of the laws of war, and any violation of these laws and of the usages of civilized nations in the time of war, by the rebels now in arms, should be made the subject of full and prompt redress. Resolved, That the foreign immigration, which in the past has added so much to the wealth and development of resources and increase of power to this nation, the asylum of the oppress- ed of all nations, should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy. Resolved, That we are in favor of the speedy construction of the railroad to the Pacific. Resolved, That the national faith is pledged for the redemp- tion of the public debt and must be kept inviolate; and that for this purpose we recommend economy and rigid responsi- bilities in the public expenditures, and a vigorous and just 6i 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 i:>eople 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 ihis our country, the efforts of any such power to obtain new footholds for monarchial governments sustained by a foreign military force in near proximity to the United States. FREMONT PLATFORM, ADOPTED AT CLEVELAND, MAY 31, 1864. 1. That the Federal Union must be preserved. 2. That the Constitution and laws of the United States must be observed and obeyed. 3. That the rebellion must be suppressed by the force of arms, and without compromise. 4. That the rights of Free Speech, Free Press, and the Habeas Corpus must be held inviolate, save in districts where martial law has been jiroclaimed. 5. That the rebellion has destroyed slavery, and the Fed- eral Constitution should be amended to prohibit its re-estab- lishment. G. That the right for asylum, except for crime, and subject to law, is a recognized principle — a principle of ximerican lib- erty; that any violation of it must not be overlooked, and must not go unrebuked. 7. That the National policy known as the Monroe doctrine has become a recognized principle, and that the establishment of an anti-republican form of government on this continent by a foreign power can not be tolerated. 8. That the gratitude and support of the nation is due to the faithful soldiers, and the earnest leaders of the Union army and navy, for their heroic achievements and valor in defense of our imperiled country and of civil liberty. 9. That the one term policy for the Presidency adopted by POLITICAIi 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. Resolved, That in the future, as in the past, we will adhere with unswerving fidelity to the Union under the Constitution as the only solid foundation of our strength, security and hap. piness as a people, and as a framework of government equally conducive to the welfare and prosperity of all the States, both ^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 efforts 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 5 66 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. violation of the Constitution, and a repetition of such acts in the approaching election will he held as revolutionary, and re- sisted with all the means and power under our control. Resolved.^ That the aim and object of the Democratic party is to preserve the Federal Union and the rights of the States unimpaired, and they hereby declare that they consider that the administrative usurpation of extraordinary and dangerous powers not granted by the Constitution, the subversion of the civil by military law in States not in insurrection, the arbi- trary military arrest, imprisonment, trial and sentence of American citizens in States where the civil law exists in full force, the suppression of freedom of speech and of the press, the denial of the right of asylum, the open and avowed right of disregard of State rights, the employment of unusual test oaths, and the interference with, and denial of the right of the people to bear arms in their defense, is calculated to prevent a restoration of the Union and a perpetuation of the Govern- ment deriving its just powers from the consent of the gov- erned. Resolved^ That the shameful disregard of the Administra- tion to its duty in respect to our fellow-citizens who now are, and long have been, prisoners of war in a suffering condition, deserves the severest reprobation on the score alike of public policy and common humanity. Resolved^ That the sympathy of the 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 PLATFOEM, 1868. The following is the platform as adopted: The National Republican Party of the United States, as- sembled in National Convention, in the city of Chicago, on the 20th day of May, 1868, make the following declaration of principles : 1. We congratulate the country on the assured success of POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 67 the reconstruction policy of Congress, as evinced by the adoption, in the majority of the States lately in rebellion, of constitutions securing equal civil and political rights to all ; and it is the duty of the Government to sustain those consti- tutions and to prevent the people of such States from being remitted to a state of anarchy. 2. The guarantee by Congress of equal suffrage to all loyal men at the South was demanded by every consideration of public safety, of gratitude, and of justice, and must be main- tained, while the question of suffrage in all the loyal States properly belongs to the people of those States. 3. We denounce all forms of repudiation as a national crime, and the national honor requires the payment of the public indebtedness in the utmost good faith to all creditors at home and abroad, not only according to the letter but the spirit of the laws under which it was contracted. 4. It is due to the labor of the nation that taxation should be equalized and reduced as rapidly as the national faith will permit. 5. The national debt, contracted as it has been for the preservation of the Union for all time to come, should be ex- tended over a fair period for redemption; and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of interest thereon whenever it can be honestly done. 6. That the best policy to diminish our burden of debt is to so improve our credit that capitalists will seek to loan us money at lower rates of interest than we now pay, and must continue to pay, so long as repudiation, partial or total, open or covert, is threatened or suspected. 7. The Government of the United States should be admin- istered with the strictest economy, and the corruptions which have been so shamefully nursed and fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for radical reform. 8. We professedly deplore the untimely and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln, and regret the accession of Andrew Johnson to the Presidency, who has acted treacherously to the people who elected him, and the cause he was pledged to support — who has usurped high legislative and judicial func- tions — who has refused to execute the laws — who has used his high office to induce other officers to ignore and violate the laws — who has employed his executive powers to render inse- 68 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. cure the property, the peace, liberty, and life of the citizen — who has abused the pardoning power — who has denounced the National Legislature as unconstitutional — persistently and corruptly resisted, by every measure in his power, every proper attempt at the reconstruction of the States lately in rebellion — who has perverted the public patronage into an engine of wholesale corruption, and who has been justly im- peached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and properly pro- nounced guilty thereof by the vote of thirty-five Senators. 9. The doctrine of Great Britain and other European Pow- ers, that because a man is once a subject he is always so, must be resisted at every hazard by the United States as a relic of the feudal times, not authorized by the law of nations, and at war with our national honor and independence. Nat- uralized citizens are entitled to be protected in all their rights of citizenship as though they were native born ; and no citizen of the United States, native or naturalized, must be liable to arrest and imprisonment by any foreign power for acts done or words spoken in this country; and if so arrested and imprisoned it is the duty of the Government to interfere in his beh^’. 10. Of all whT) were faithful in the trials of the late war there were none entitled to more especial honor than the brave soldiers and seamen who endured the hardships of cam- paign and cruise, and imperiled their lives in the service of the country. The bounties and pensions provided by the laws for these brave defenders of the nation are obligations never to be forgotten. The widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of the people, a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation’s protecting care. 11. Foreign emigration, which in the past has added so much to the wealth, development, and resources and increase of power to this nation, the asylum of the oppressed of all nations, should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy. 12. This Convention declares itself in sympathy with all the oppressed people which are struggling for their rights. The following resolutions were also adopted unanimously, and are added to the declaration of principles : Resolved^ That we highly commend the spirit of magnan- imity and forgiveness with which the men who have served in POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 69 the rebellion, but now frankly and honestly co-operate with us in restoring the peace of the country and reconstructing the Southern State governments upon the basis of impartial justice and equal rights, are received back into the com- munion of the loyal people. And we favor the removal of the disqualifications and restrictions placed upon the late rebels in the same measure as the spirit of loyalty will direct, and as may be consistent with the safety of the loyal people. Resolved, That we recognize the great principles laid down in the immortal Declaration of Independence as the true foundation of Democratic government ; and we hail with gladness every efi'ort toward making these principles a living reality on every inch of American soil. DEMOCEATIC PLATFORM OF 186S. 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 and secession 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- idlj’’ as practicable, all money drawn from the people by taxa- tion, except so much as is requisite for the necessities of the Government economically administered being honestly ap- plied to such payment, and where the obligations of the Gov- ernment do not expressly state upon their face or the law under which thev were issued does not provide that they shall be paid in coin they ought, in right and justice, be paid in the lawful money of the United States. 70 POLITICAL PLATPOKMS. 4. Equal taxation of every species of property according to the value ; reducing Government bonds and other public securities. 5. One currency for the Government and the people, the laborer and the office-holder, pensioner and the soldier, the producer and the bondholder. 6. Economy in the administration of the Government; the reduction of the standing army and navy ; the abolition of the Freedmen’s Bureau, and all political instrumentalities de- signed to secure negro supremacy ; simplification of the system and discontinuance of inquisitorial modes of assessing and collecting internal revenue, that the burden of taxation may be equalized and lessened, and the credit of the Government and the currency made good ; the repeal of all enactments for enrolling the State militia into a national force in time of peace ; and a tariff for revenue upon foreign imports and such equal taxation under the internal revenue laws as will afford incidental protection to domestic manufactures as well, with- out impairing the revenue, impose the least burden upon and best promote and encourage the great industrial interests of the country. 7. Reform of abuses in the Administration ; the expulsion of corrupt men from office ; the abrogation of useless offices ; the restoration of the rightful authority to and the independ- ence of the Executive and Judicial Departments of the Gov- ernment; the subordination of the military to the civil power, to the end that the usurpation of Congress and the 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 PLATPOEMS. 71 cute the war exclusively for the maiatenance of the Govern- ment and the preservation of the Union under the Constitu- tion. It has repeatedly violated that most sacred pledge under which was rallied that noble volunteer army which car- ried our flag to victory. Instead of restoring the Union it has, so far as it is in its power, dissolved it, and subjected ten States in time of peace to military despotism and negro supremacy. It has nullified there the right of trial by jury ; it has abolished the writ of habeas corpus, that most sacred writ of liberty ; it has overthrown the freedom of speech and of the press ; it has substituted arbitrary seizures and arrests, military trials, se- cret star chambers, and inquisitions for constitutional tribu- nals; it has disregarded, in time of peace, the right of the people to be free from search and seizure ; it has entered the post-office and telegraph office, and even the private rooms of individuals and seized there their private papers and letters, without any specification or notice of affidavit, as required by the organic law. It has converted the American Capitol into a bastile; it has established a system of spies and official espion- age to which the constitutional monarchies t)f 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 oft' all subjection to the British crown, the privilege and trust of suffrage have belonged to the several States, and have been granted, regulated, and controlled exclusively by the political 73 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. power of each State respectively, and any attempt by Con- gress, on any pretext whatever, to deprive any State of this right, or interfere with this exercise, is a flagrant usurpation of power which can find no warrant in the Constitution, and if sanctioned by the people will subvert our form of Govern- ment, and can only end in a single, centralized and consolidated Government, in which the separate existence of the States will be entirely absorbed, and an unqualified despotism then be established in place of a Federal Union of coequal States, and that we regard the reconstruction acts so called of Congress such usurpations and unconstitutional, revolutionary and void; that our soldiers and sailors who carried the flag of our country to victory against a most gallant and determined foe must ever be gratefully remembered, and all the guarantees given in their favor must be faithfully carried into execution; that the public lands should be distributed widely among the people and should be disposed of either under the pre-emption of the homestead lands and sold in reasonable quantities, and to none but actual occupants, at the price established by the Govern- ment. Wlien 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 PLATFORMS. 73 EEPUBLICAN PLATFORM, 1872. The Eepublican party of the United States, assembled m 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. Exlnbiting 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 fhe rates of taxation, the public debt has been re- duced during General Grant’s Presidency at the rate of a hun- dred millions a year, great financial crises have been avoided, and peace and plenty prevail throughout the land. Menacing foreign difficulties have been peacefullj’' 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 Government to any party or combination of men composed chiefly of those who have re- sisted every step of this benificent progress. 2. The recent amendments to the national Constitution should be cordially sustained because they are right, not 74 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. merely tolerated because they are law, and should be carried out according to their spirit by appropriate legislation, the enforcement of which can safely be intrusted only to the party that secured those amendments. 3. Complete liberty and exact equality in the enjoyment of all civil, political and public rights should be established and effectually maintained throughout the Union by efficient and apj)ropriate State and Federal legisla.tion. Neither the law nor its administration should admit any discrimination in respect of citizens by reason of race, creed, color, or previous condition of servitude. 4. The national Government should seek to maintain hon- orable peace with all nation , protecting its citizens every- where and sympathizing with all peoples who strive for greater liberty. 5. Any system of the civil service under which the subor- dinate positions of the government are considered rewards for mere party zeal is fatally demoralizing, and we therefore favor a reform of the system by laws which shall abolish the 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 country are entitled to the care of a generous and grate- ful people. We favor such additional legislation as will ex- tend the bounty of the Government to all our soldiers and POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 75 sailors who were honorably discharged, and who in the line of duty became disabled, without regard to the length of ser- vice or the cause of such discharge, 9. The doctrine of Great Britain and other European Pow- ers concerning allegiance — “once a subject always a subject” — having at last through the efforts of the Republican party been abandoned, and the American idea of the individual’s right to transfer allegiance having been accepted by Euro- pean nations, it is the duty of our Government to guard with jealous care the rights of adopted citizens against the assump- tion of unauthorized claims by their former Governments, and we urge continued careful encouragement and protec- tion of voluntary immigration. 10, The franking privilege ought to be abolished, and the way prepared for a speedy reduction in the rates of postage, 11 Among the questions which press for attention is that which concerns the relations of capital and labor, and the Republican party recognizes the duty of so shaping legis- lation as to secure full protection and the amplest field for capital, and for labor, the creator of capital, the largest oppor- tunities and a just share of the mutual profits of these two great servants of civilization. 12. We hold that Congress and the President have only fulfilled an imperative duty in their measures for the sup- pression of violent and treasonable organizations in certain lately rebellious regions, and for the protection of the ballot- box; and therefore they are entitled to the thanks of the nation. 18. 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 PLATPOKMS. 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 elForts to bestow upon them. NATIONAL LIBERAL REPUBLICAN 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 oflS.ce for the promotion of personal ends. He has kept notoriously corrupt and unworthy men in , places of power and responsibility, to the detriment of the public interest. He has used the public service of the Government as a machinery of corruption and personal influence, and has inter- fered with tyrannical arrogance in the political affairs of States and municipalities. He has rewarded with influential and lucrative offices men who had acquired his favor by valuable presents, thus stimu lating the demoralization of our political life by his conspicu- ous example. He has shown himself deplorably unequal to the task im- posed upon him by the necessities of the country, and culpa- bly careless of the responsibilities of his high office. The partizans of the Administration, assuming to be the Republican party and controlling its organization, have at- tempted to justify such wrongs and palliate such abuses to the end of maintaining partisan ascendency. They have stood in the way of necessary investigations and indispensable reforms, pretending that no serious fault could be found with the present administration of public affairs, thus seeking to blind the eyes of the people. They have 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 suc'^esstul 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 dutj- 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, beKeving that universal am- nesty will result in complete pacification in all sections of the country. 4. Local self-government, with impartial suffrage, will guard the rights of all citizens more securely than any centralized power. The public welfare requires the supremacy of the civil over the military authority, and the freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corpus. We demand for the indi- vidual the largest liberty consistent with public order, for the State self-government, and for the nation a return to the methods of peace and the constitutional limitations of power. 5. The civil service of the Government has become a mere instrument of partisan tyranny and personal ambition, and an object of selfish greed. It is a scandal and reproach upon free institutions, and breeds a demoralization dangerous to the perpetuity of republican government. We therefore regard a thorough reform of the civil service as one of the most press- ing necessities of the hour ; that honesty, capacity, and fidelity POLITICAL PLATFOBMS. 79 constitute the only valid claims to public employment ; that the offices of the Government cease to be a matter of arbitrary favoritism and patronage, and that public station 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 friendships of peace by treating with all on fair and equal terms, regarding it alike dishonorable either to demand what is not right or submit to what is wrong. 12. For the promotion and success of these vital principles and the support of the candidates nominated by this conven- tion we invite and cordially welcome the co-operation of all patriotic citizens, without regard to previous political affili- ations. 80 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION, 1872. We, the Democratic electors of the United States in Con- vention assembled, do present the following principles, already adopted at Cincinnati, as essential to just government. 1. We recognize the equality of all men before the law, and hold that it is the duty of Government in its dealings with the people to mete out equal and exact justice to all, of whatever nativity, race, color, or persuasion, religious or political. 2. We pledge ourselves to maintain the union of these States, emancipation, and enfranchisement, and to oppose any re-opening of the questions settled by the thirteenth, four- teenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. 3. We demand the immediate and absolute removal of all disabilities imposed on account of the rebellion, which was finally subdued seven years ago, believing that universal am- nesty will result in complete pacification in all sections of the country. 4. Local self-government, with impartial 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 habeas corpus. We demand for the individual the largest liberty consistent with public order ; for the State self-government, and for the nation a re- turn to the methods of peace and the constitutional limita- tions of power. 5. The civil service of the Government has become a mere instrument of partisan tyranny and personal ambition, and an object of selfish greed. It is a scandal and reproach upon free institutions and breeds a demoralization dangerous to the perpetuity of republican government. We therefore re- gard a thorough reform of the civil service as one of the most Ijressing necessities of the hour ; that honesty, capacity, and fidelity constitute the only valid claim to public employ- ment; that the otfices of the government cease to be a mat- ter of arbitrary favoritism and patronage, and that public station become again a post of honor. To this end it is im- peratively required that no President shall be a candidate lor re-election. POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 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. The public credit must be sacredly maintained, and we denounce repudiation in every form and guise. 8. A speedy return to specie payment is demanded alike by the highest considerations of commercial morality and honest government. 9.

For the promotion and success of these vital princi- ples, and the support of the candidates nominated by this convention, we invite and cordially welcome the co-operation of all patriotic citizens, without regard to previous political affiliations. NATIONAL LABOR REFORM CONVENTION, 1872. We hold that all political power is inherent in the people, and tree government founded on their authority and estab- lished for iheij benefit; that all citizens are equal in political 6 82 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. rights, entitled to the largest religious and political liberty compatible with the good order of society, as also the use and enjoyment of the fruits of their labor and talents ; and no man or set of men is entitled to exclusive separable endowments and privileges, or immunities from the Government, but in consideration of public services; and any laws destructive of these fundamental principles are without moral binding force, and should be repealed. And believing that all the evils re- sulting from unjust legislation now affecting the industrial classes can be removed by the adoption of the principle con- tained in the following declaration : Therefore, Resolved, That it is the duty of the Government to estab- lish a just standard of distribution of capital and labor by providing a purely national circulating medium, based on the faith and resources of the nation, issued directly to the people without the intervention of any system of banking corpora- tions, which money shall be legal tender in the payment of all debts, public and private, and interchangeable at the option of the holder for Government bonds bearing a rate of interest not to exceed 3-G5 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 PLATFOKMS. 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 should, as it is required, be assessed and col- lected from the wealthy of the country, and not entailed as a burden on posterity. 10. That it is the duty of the Government to exercise its power over railroads and telegraph corporations, that they shall not in any case be privileged to exact such rates of freight, transportation, or charges, by whatever name, as may bear unduly or unequally upon the producer or consumer. 11. That there should be such a reform in the civil service of the national Government as will remove it beyond all part- isan influence, and place it in the charge and under the direc- tion of intelligent and competent business men. 12. That as both history and experience teaches us that power ever seeks to perpetuate itself by every and all means, and that its prolonged possession in the hands of one person is always dangerous to the interests of a free people, and believing that the spirit of our organic laws and the stability and safety of our free institutions are best obeyed on the one 84 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. hand, and secured on the other, by a regular constitutional change in the chief of the country at each election : therefore, we are in favor of limiting the occupancy of the presidential chair to one term. 13. That we are in favor of granting general amnesty and restoring the Union at once on the basis of equality of rights and privileges to all, the impartial administration of justice being the only true bond of union to bind the States together and restore the Government of the people. 14. That we demand the subjection of the military to the civil authorities, and the confinement of its operations to national purposes alone. 15. That we deem it expedient for Congress to supervise the patent laws, so as to give labor more fully the benefit of its own ideas and inventions. 16. That fitness, and not political or personal considera- tions, should be the only recommendation to public office, either appointive or elective, and any and all laws looking to the establishment of this principle are heartily approved. THE BAXTER LIQUOR LAW. AN ACT to regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors; to provide against evils resulting from any sale thereof; to furnish remedies for damages suffered by any person in consequence of such sale; prescribing penal ties; to repeal all laws contravening tite provisions of this act, and declaring an emergency.

GEOLOGICAL ITEMS. :o: “ It is not easy to give an accurate and comprehensive defi- nition of the science of geology. It is, indeed, not so much one science, as the application of all the physical sciences to the examination of the structure of the earth, the investiga- tion of the processes concerned in the production of that structure, and the history of their action. 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 advances 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 explain the nature of the mineral substances of which rocks are com- posed; not till the geographer and meteorologist hadnxplored the surface of the earth, and taught us the extent of land and water, and the powers of winds, currents, 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 discriminate with certainty batween igneous and aqueous rocks, between living and extinct ani- mals, and was, therefore, unable to lay down any one of t he foun- dations on which his own science was to rest .” — Encyclopedia Britannica^ d>iJi 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 dat of the Creator to the present, has been subjected to an endless cycle of mutations. There ( 93 ) 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’ Ulus- trated Geology. GEOLOGICAL ITEMS. 95 THE TEMPERATURE OF THE EARTH. The following are some of the observations 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 MordorfF, 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 1815. 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 effects 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 Papandayang, 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 the aEOLOGICAL ITEMS. 97 gasses and moisture of the atmosphere^ 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 elevating the crust of the earth, tend to counteract the equalizing action of water and to produce that diversity of- surface 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. — WelVs Illustrated Geology CORAL REEFS. “The ocean,” says Mr. Darwin, “throwing 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 inefiicient. 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 98 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. — WelW 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. The evidence upon which the belief is founded may be briefly stated, as follows : 1st. The enormous profusion of fossil plants, 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 thus 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 hypotheses 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 estuary, 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 into 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 history, 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 (CSCTvui 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 Uvst^ 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 thirds 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 fifths 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 GEOLOGICAL ITEMS. than twenty times the area which includes all the known coal deposits of Europe. — Wells’ Geology. MISCELIANEOUS. The number 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 Oainozoic. 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- GEOLOGICAL 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 different 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! PHILOSOPHY. :o; No two particles of matter can occupy the same space at the same time. All bodies weigh heaviest at the earth’s surfac-e. 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 of the cogs of its own surface has touched the standing wheel. The atmosphere is the lightest in wet, rainy weather ; yet we find people very often who think different. The medium pressure of the atmosphere is about fifteen 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 bight that atmospheric pressure will raise water is about 33 feet; but this calculation only holds good at the level of the sea, because as we ascend from the sea level the pressure becomes less ; hence, our calculations for raismg water by atmospheric pressure must be governed by the pres- sure that atmosphere has at the bight of the position above Ihe sea level. Illustration : At sea level atmospheric pressure fifteen pounds to the square inch ; one mile above sea level, about 12^ pounds ; two miles above, 10 pounds ; three miles, 7^ pounds ; consequently, on an elevation three miles high, water cannot be raised but about 16^ 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 than the bottom ; or, in other words, runs the fastest.

Horse Power.— The average power of a horse is sufficient to raise a weight of about 23,000 pounds one foot per minute, but when calculating the horse power of a steam engine it is esti- tmated at 33,000 pounds. It then follows that a ten horse powers team engine is, in fact, about equal to fourteen average horses. Power of Steam. — One cubic foot of water converted into steam will raise the enormous weight of three and a half mil- lio'n pounds one foot, or seven hundred pounds one mile high. All bodies or particles of matter fall to the eath by the at- traction of gravity, and their speed is in proportion to their density ; but take away the resisting force of the atmosphere, then a cork or feather will fall as fast as a bullet. 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 passes 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 ten pounds would raise ten pounds 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 the short end. SKETCHES OF ASTRONOMY. :o; OEIGIN OF THE SOLAE 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 tha celebrated La Place to the formation of the solar system. This theory may be thus stated :—In the beginning ail 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 cha'uge occurs. ( 106 ) SKETCHES OF ABTKONOMY. 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 nebulm will doubtless be resolved into stars, by using more powerful telescopes, yet that these same teles- copes will reveal more new nebulae 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 Kosse’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 without form and void” If the earth came into existence in its present condition, then it had foi'm 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 discoveries of 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 Herschel’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 SKETCHES 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 hlacJc, 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 point, 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 Herschel 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 scrutinj^, 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 the fact. No one 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 false hood, by mathematical investigation. Until then, the safer plan is neither to adopt nor reject, but investigate until abso- lute truth shall reward our long continued labor, and reveal the mystery of the organization of that stupendous system, ot which our humble planet forms an insignificant part. — Smith’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 La Verrier “ '• “ „.......M7,100,000,000 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 off in nearly straight lines, and go to revolve around other suns in the far-off 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.

Ill DIEECTIONS 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 ^i^yraivie 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. — SmUKs Dlustrated '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 the 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 this 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 ASTRONOMY. and by a series of observations extended through several cen- turies, they 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 time, they found that a certain period of time elapsed between eclipses of the 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. — Smitli’s Astronomy. SKETCHES OP 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 3.80th 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 foua- 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.

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, Remember one and all, Was first established in Wycumbe, By Miss Hannah Ball. After this Miss Bradburn Suggested to Robert Rakes To organize a Sabbath School, And helped him set the stakes. ( 125 ) 126 SABBATH SCHOOLS. They organized in Gloucester, The banner they unfurled, The fame and name of which has spread, Almost throughout the world. The honor due to Eobert Rakes, Miss Bradburn and Miss Ball. Should not be given to Eobert Rakes, But given to them all. For the institution of Sabbath Schools, The honor is due Miss Ball. To her for lighting up the lamp. We give the honor all.

I 9 HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY Montgomery County is located in the western half of the State of Indiana, in the second tier of counties from the west, about one hundred miles south of Lake Michigan, and near one hundred and twenty-five miles north of the Ohio River. It is within the limits of the great central lines of travel from east to west. Its facilities for shipments of produce and stock are not surpassed by any of its sister counties. The county lies in a region remarkably well adapted to the cultivation of the various kinds of grain common to the middle portion of the western world. It borders upon those fertile prairie lands in the north part of the State, and partakes par- tially of the nature of both timbered and prairie soils. The northern portion of the county has several small prairies in it, which give to it the appearance of having been settled much longer than it really has. The soil of these prairies is very rich and productive, yielding, in favorable seasons, immense crops of corn, wheat, rye, oats and barley. Large tracts of this prai- rie country are yet uncultivated, and are used principally for grazing purposes. Nature has furnished here to the herdsman an inexhaustible supply of nutritious food for his cattle and horses. About two thirds of Montgomery county was originally verr 132 MONTGOMERY COUNTY. heavily timbered, but much of it has been destroyed in one way and another ; yet there is an abundaruce still left for all practical purposes, in the way of building and fencing. The western part of the county, and near the principal streams, is somewhat hilly and broken, the north and central part undulating, and the east and south level. The soil, with scarcely any exception, is rich and very productive. There are a few oak openings, or barrens, in the north part of the county, which are of little value for any purpose ; however, the number of acres of this quality of soil is so small that it does not affect the general farming interests of the county. Montgomery county is laid out into eleven townships, Union township being in the center, and all the others bordering on or cornering with it. Union township is about nine by twelve miles square ; all the others are of medium size, and are bounded on the outside by the county line. The county is twenty-four miles long, north and south, and twenty-one miles wide. It is bounded on the north by Tippecanoe county, on the west by Fountain and Parke, on the south by Parke and Putnam, and on the east by Hendricks, Boone and Clinton. Montgomery county was named in honor of the distinguished General Richard Montgomery, a man who figured in the times of the American Revolution and sacrificed his life in the noble cause of freedom at the seige of Quebec. The county is watered by Sugar Creek and its tributaries. This stream used to be known by the name of Rock River. It is a fine stream of water, and there are quite a number of good mills located upon it. Sugar Creek is fed by numerous small streams empty- ing into it on either side. The main stream passes from the northeast quarter of the county to the southwest, passing into Parke county about 5 miles north of the southwest corner of Montgomery. It passes nearly exactly through the center of the county. The next principal stream is the Walnut Fork of HISTORICAL SKETCH. 133 Sugar Creek, which empties into the main stream near Craw- fordsville. The county is well supplied with good public highways. The public improvements in*the way of school houses and bridges are of the most substantial character. There are but few coun- ties in the State as . well supplied with railroads. Every town- ship in the county, except two, has a railroad, and the two ex- ceptions are so near to a road that it may be said that every township has a direct advantage in the way of railway traffic. These roads all center at Crawfordsville, making that city a de- sirable location for manufacturing enterprises. Crawfordsville is the county seat of Montgomery county, and is situated in its center. It is a live town of over 4000 inhabi- tants, who are thoroughly alive to the interests of their town and county, and are doing all they can to improve the city and its surroundings. It is located on Rock River, familiarly known as Sugar Creek. The city has three railroads, making six dif- ferent points for shipments and travel. These roads are now building a magnificent Union Depot at the junction, which will be completed this year. Unlike most other towns of this size, Crawfordsville takes great pride in her streets, and in order that this part of her work may be more efficiently prosecuted, has appointed a Street Commissioner. The streets are broad and well graded and graveled, and are skirted on either side with beautiful shade trees which lend an enchanting attractiveness to the city during the summer months that is almost picturesque. Good turnpike roads lead from the city in almost every direc- tion. . A new attraction has sprung up in Crawfordsville, which in time promises to be of no small importance both to the city and the public. This is no less than two medical or mineral springs, situated just northeast of the town. Messrs. Blair & Vancleave are busily engaged in improving and beautifying the grounds around the springs. This place is destined to be a re- sort for summer recreation and literary pursuits. These springs 134 MONTGOMERY COUNTY. are already enclosed in light and airy summer-houses, and the gentlemen who have control of them contemplate erecting a five- story hotel just north of the springs. The building will be fitted up with all the modern conveniences of an old established watering place. The waters of these springs seem to be of en- tirely different ingredients, and are said to contain properties of great medical importance. Crawfordsville’s material resources for manufacturing purposes are equal to any other town of its size in the State. She has an abundance of good timber, coal, iron ore, limestone, and sand and brown stone. These are all found only a short dis- tance from the city. Manufacturers would do well to take a look at this point. MORAL AND EDUCATIONAL. In the matter of moral and scholastic enterprise, Crawfords- ville leads all other towns in the State. With a population of not over five thousand, she has nine churches, a proportion not exceeded by any other town in the land, and a thing that she may well be proud of. The public schools are conducted by an able and efficient corps of instructors, and upon the most ap- proved plan. The schools are located in a magnificent building, situated upon “Jefferson’s Square,” which has just been com- pleted at a cost of ;^6o,ooo. But it is in Wabash College that Crawfordsville’s pride and glory culminate, and she has good reasons for this pride. It is one of the best specimens of western institutions for a thorough course of education. It is located just west of the city limits of Crawfordsville, in a campus containing thirty-three acres, shaded with beautiful native forest trees, affording to the students a healthful atmosphere, as well as abundant space for drill and field sports. The public buildings are four in number. Center Hall contains the President’s Lecture Room, the Chemical and Philosophical Rooms, the Cabinet, the Library, HISTORICAL SKETCH. 135 the Society Halls, the Chapel, with four hundred sittings, and eight Recitation Rooms. The Academy contains a Public Hall, and two commodious Recitation Rooms for the use of the Preparatory Department. The Dormitory has recently been remodeled, and is essen- tially a new building. It now offers excellent accommodations for one hundred students. The Polytechnic Building contains the following rooms, viz : the Topographical Room, for models, designs and maps, and for instruction in draughting. The Armory, for company drills, museums, fencing, and care of arms. The Reading Room, open to all students, and supplied with an excellent selection of newspapers and magazines. The Gymnasium, a room or hall one hundred feet each way, well furnished with the most approved gymnastic apparatus. This Institution has had a singularly interesting history, as we gather it from its published documents. It was founded when the upper part of Indiana was almost an unbroken wilderness, and the other half not a great deal better. The cities of Evans- ville, New Albany, Terre Haute, Madison, Indianapolis, Lafay- ette, Fort Wayne, and Richmond, were then mere villages. The highways of the State were most wretched, and the great products of its soil nearly valueless because of their inaccesibility to market. The entire country was poor, and the Presbyterian Church feeble. After a careful examination of the subject a few men resolved to found the college. This was in November, 1832. In De- cember, 1833, the institution was opened with twelve students. The appeals for help at the West were as fully answered as could be expected, and it was finally resolved to send an agent to the East. It was a season of financial embarrassment, and after repeated vain attempts to secure aid in Philadelphia, New York and Boston, the agent was actually writing his resignation in 136 MONTGOMERY COUNTY. order to get some preaching engagement to procure money that he might pay his way home. Whilst writing his resignation a hopeful friend came into the room and advised him to visit Andover for conference with the Theological Faculty. After hearing his story they advised him to appeal to the country churches. He followed their advice and raised several thou^nd dollars. He also induced the Rev, Dr. Baldwin, of New York, to accept the Presidency. In 1838 the principal building was burned, yet the enterprise made progress in spite of these embarrassments. Its financial growth has been very marked, so that it is now out of debt. Only a few years ago a single individual donated ;^50,000 to the institution. The course of study in this noble institution embraces a wide range, and is thorough and complete. The faculty consists of eleven persons, as follows : Rev. Joseph F. Tuttle, D. D., President and Beecher Pro- fessor of Moral and Intellectual Philosophy. Edmund O. Hovey, D. D., Rose Professor of Chemistry and Geology. Caleb Mills, M. A., Lafayette Professor of the Greek Language and Literature. Samuel S. Thompson, M. A., Williams Pro- fessor of the Latin Language and Literature. John L. Camp- bell, M. A., Baldwin Professor of Mathematics, Natural Philoso- phy and Astronomy. William C. White, M. A., Professor of Rhetoric and Teacher of the German and French Languages. Col. Henry B. Carrington, LL. D., U. S. A., Professor of Mili- tary Science, by authority of the United States Government. Daniel A. Bassett, M. A., Principal of the Preparatory Depart- ment. Mathew M. Whitford, M. A., Associate Pi'incipal of Preparatory Department. George C. Butler, B. A., Tutor. Henry R. Thomson, M. A., Tutor. The officers are; Rev. Joseph F. Tuttle, D. D., President; John L. Campbell, Secretary; Alexander Thomson, Treasurer; Samuel S. Thomson, Librarian ; J. Paxton Campbell, Auditor. HISTORICAL SKETCH. 137 COUNTY ORGANIZED. Montgomery county was organized in the year 1823. The first county officers were; John Willson, Clerk of the Circuit Court, Recorder of Deeds, and Clerk of the Commissioners’ Court. County Commissioners — William Offield, James Blev- ins, John McCollough. Sheriff — Samuel D. Maxwell. PROMINENT CITIZENS AND SETTLERS. Maj. Ambrose Whitlock settled in Montgomery county in the year 1822; laid out the town of Crawfordsville in 1823; was appointed Receiver of Public Moneys by John Quincy Adams, in 1825 ; was an active and efficient officer under old Anthony Wayne; died in Crawford.sville in the month of June, 1864, aged 96 years. His widow, Mrs. Whitlock, died in Crawfords- ville in 1873, aged go years. William Offield and William Miller were the first white set- tlers in Montgomery county. Offield settled near the mouth of Offield’s Creek, and William Miller settled near the town of Crawfordsville, in 1822, and built the first house (round log cabin) in the town. Offield left the county in 1836, and Mr. Miller died in the city of Crawfordsville at the commencement of the present year. John Beard was born in North Carolina, January 4, 1795 ; moved to Montgomery county, Indiana, in the year 1823, set- tling near Crawfordsville, where he still resides. In the year 1827 he was elected representative of Montgomery county in the Legislature, and with a single exception was continued in one or the other branches for fifteen consecutive years, most of the time in the Senate. Of all the members with whom he served the first term, but one besides himself was living in 1873, Mr. John Jones, of Center township, Wayne county. Mr. Beard attained a high reputation as a legislator. Bills for the abolition of imprisonment for debt, liberal exemption of prop- erty from execution, investing the Governor with power to com- 138 MONTGOMERY COUNTY. mute capital punishment to imprisonment for life, received his active and efficient support. He rendered good service in the passage of the bill for the construction of the Wabash and Erie Canal. The following truthful remarks in regard to Mr. Beard were made by Hon. John Coburn, member of Congress, at Moores- ville, Morgan county, Ind., August 13, 1873: “I venture to say again that not one man in a hundred in our State knows the name of him who proposed that the surplus of the proceeds of the stock of the State in the State Bank of Indiana should be ap- propriated as a school fund. He is one of our greatest public benefactors, a venerable, simple-hearted, clear-headed, sound- minded old gentleman, living in Montgomery county, named John Beard. His name ought to be precious in the heart of every boy and girl who enjoys the benefits of free schools. When he proposed the measure it was hardly treated seriously. Nobody thought anything would be left as a surplus ; he himself doubtless did not realize its importance. But so it was, he put the net where it caught the golden fish, and we thank him for it ten thousand times, and we thank those steady, straightforward, strictly upright financiers who husbanded these funds for us. This measure has been the means of producing our present fund of $800,000 for the support of common schools.” Montgomery county is indebted to Mr. Beard for the bridge which spans Sugar Creek near Sperry’s mill. This noble work was accomplished through the instrumentality of Mr. Beard while a member of the Senate in 1839. Beard was appointed by President Harrison to the office of Receiver of Public Moneys in the Land Office at Crawfordsville, in conse- quence of which he resigned the Senatorship two years before the expiration of the term. He held the office until after the accession of Mr. VanBuren to the Presidency, and in 1846 he was returned to the Senate. The fact that Mr. Beard was one of the earliest settlers in Montgomery county seems to justify HISTORICAL SKETCH. 139 a compliance with the expressed wishes of his old friends that his name be given a conspicuous place in the county’s history. Henry S. Lane was born in Montgomery county, Ky., in the year 18 ii, and commenced the study of law in the office of General Sudduth. In 1833 he removed to Crawfordsville, com- menced the practice of the law, and rose rapidly in his profes- sion. He continued the practice of the law until . For nearly — years of the period of his practice he was in partner- ship with Col. Samuel C. Willson. He was elected to the Leg- islature of Indiana in the year 1837, and in the year 1840 was elected to Congress to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of General Howard, beating his opponent, E. A. Hannegan, 1400 votes in the district. In 1841 he was again elected to Con- gress, beating his opponent, Major Bruce, 7000 votes in the district. In 1846 Mr. Lane raised a company of volunteers for Mexico and was elected captain, and before marching orders were received was appointed Colonel of the regiment. In the year i860 Col. Lane was elected Governor of the State of Indi- ana, beating Thomas A. Hendricks about 9000 votes. In the winter of i860 Col. Lane was elected by the Legislature to the office of Senator of the L^nited States. Col. Lane’s practice in the Judicial District was always large. The members of the bar in his district exhibited in their composition more than ordi- nary legal talent, and composed a constellation which reflected a brilliancy in every portion of the State. Albert S. White, Rufus A. Lockwood, Joseph A. Wright, Col. Samuel C. Will- son and Judge Naylor, are all names of commanding eminence. Henry S.

The writer of this sketch, with other old residents of Mont- gomery county, will doubtless recollect the excitement in Craw- fordsville during the Black Hawk war in 1832. During said excitement a report was circulated one Saturday evening that the Indians were murdering and plundering the settlers on or near the Wabash River, about forty miles distant from Craw- fordsville. Col. Powers, who was at that time commander of the militia of Montgomery county, sent word to the Captains of the different companies in said county, to appear in Crawfords- ville on a certain day ; and in accordance with said instructions HISTORICAL SKETCH. 143 the Captains and men belonging to said companies, with many others, assembled in Crawfordsville on the day designated ; so that by noon on said day the town was crowded with men and boys who were fully determined to give Black Hawk and his followers a terrible blow. On the following Sabbath, while a number of our citizens were seated in front of John Mack’s Hotel, discussing the prob- abilities of a severe fight with Black Hawk, a man by the name of Pierce, who was traveling on foot from Clinton county to Parke county, and Crawfordsville being on the direct route, it was known to a few of our citizens that he would come by the way of Judge Ketcham’s farm (now the Poor Farm), and that Pierce was very much alarmed about the Indians, looking on each side of the road as he passed for Indians. Two mischiev- ous boys hearing that Pierce would pass through town in two or three hours, dressed up in Indian style, painting their faces and otherwise fixing up so as to resemble the Indians ; with loaded guns in hand they proceeded up the long lane between Judge Ketcham’s house and town, and entered a corn field about two hundred yards from the residence of Judge K., and waited for the approach of Pierce. In a very short time Pierce made his appearance, and was soon opposite the place where the boys were concealed. After he had passed the point named about seventy-five yards, the boys sprang from their concealment, jumped the fence, fired off the gun, and took after Pierce, who commenced running at the top of his speed. Such a foot-race has not been seen since nor before. Pierce thought that his life was at stake and ran like a deer. When he arrived at the north side of Major Whitlock’s improve- ment, he jumped the fence and continued his flight to the Bowen corner, turned west and ran into Mack’s Hotel, and as he passed through town he bellowed out “ Injen ! Injen ! Injen !” and as he entered the hotel he exhorted the men in 144 MONTGOMERY COUNTY. front of the hotel to procure rifles, shot-guns and axes at once, as the Indians were but a few steps behind him. Pierce took his position inside of the hotel, trembling and sweating great drops of sweat, and could not be induced to come out in the street. The sudden appearance of the man alarmed a number of our citizens, but it was soon ascertained that the Indians were citizens of our own town; and thus ended the first warlike dem- onstration upon the place. EARLY RECORDS. The following entries on order book in the Auditor’s office in Montgomery county, may be interesting to some of our readers : “ Ordered by the Board of Commissioners, that Eliakim Ash- ton be paid the sum of two hundred and ninety-five dollars for building the Court House. August ii, 1823.” “Ordered by the Board of Commissioners, that William P. Ramey be paid three dollars for his services as lister of Mont- gomery county, out of any money not otherwise appropriated. August, 1823.” “Ordered by the Board of Commissioners, the following rate of taxes be paid the present year : Every horse, mare or mule, 25 cents; each yoke of oxen, i8f cents; each silver watch, 12J cents; each male person, 25 cents. August, 1823.’’ We have only to contrast the above orders with those of the present day to convince our minds that we are growing in wealth and population rapidly. The number of votes polled at the first election for county of- ficers was sixty-one. This was in 1823. In 1874 the number of voters of the county is over six thousand. James Heaton, Sen. UNION TOWNSHIP. 145 UNION TOWNSHIP. Union Township is located exactly in the center of Mont- gomery county ; it is large, and contains more than one hun- dred square miles. Union township either corners with or borders on every other township in the county. The surface is from level to a hilly. The soil is generally good. The township is watered by Big Sugar Creek and its numerous branches. The public improvements are generally good. Crawfordsville is the principal town in the township, and as it is the county seat, is noticed in the historical sketch of the county given in this book. The other towns are small and only of local importance ; Whitesville, on the L. N. A. & C. R. R. is a very pleasant little village. The people of Union township are generally in good circumstances, moral and affable. The city of Crawfordsville contains a population of over 4,000 inhabitants and is incorporated. There are two school houses belonging to the city, valued at ^75,000. The vote of the township is about 2,200, the Republicans having a majority. SECRET organizations.

It is bounded on the south by Walnut township, on the north by Sugar Creek and on the west by Union. It contains 36 square miles, and embraces some of the best of lands. Spme parts of the township are very level, the soil being deep and rich. Most of the land, however, is gently undulating, and remarkably well adapted to grain and stock raising. There are some fine creek bottoms, though small, which produce abundantly. Sugar Creek runs through the northwest corner of the town- ship, cutting off about 1200 acres of land. On the southeast side of this creek the handsome little village of Darlington is located. It is, to all appearances, a live town. The L., C. & S. W. R. R. runs through this village, 8 miles from Crawfords- ville. Franklin was at one time a very heavily timbered town- ship, and must have been well stocked with wild game, and was doubtless a part of the best hunting grounds for the red man ; but the woodman’s ax, with the aid of time, has made great changes along the then wilds of Sugar Creek. Great for- est trees have been felled to the ground one by one, until beau- tiful and well cultivated farms have come out of the wilderness as comes out the gay colored butterfly from the ugly worm. Franklin township is well improved, and is truly a land of plenty. Shannondale, a small village containing a few business houses and a post office, is located near the southeast corner of the township on one of the forks of Sugar Creek. The vote of ig6 MONTGOMERY COUNTY. the township is about 430. The public improvements are of a fair character, although some of the thoroughfares become al- most impassible during wet seasons. The school houses are in good repair, and are valued at about ;^4300. Among the first settlers of the township were John Elmore, McCafferty, H. Wisehart, W. Nicholson, J. Scott, E. Kenworthy and the Cox Brothers. SECRET ORGANIZATIONS. Darlington Lodge, No. 186, F. and A. M.; membership, 32; A. Harper, W. M.; J. C. Allen, S. VV.; W. A. Buchanan, J.

CLARK TOWNSHIP. 221 CLARK TOWNSHIP. Clark Township is located in the southeast corner of the county, and contains 36 square miles of generally very product- ive land. Although a portion of this township is somewhat broken and not well adapted to cultivation, yet it is valuable pasture land. Other portions are quite level, and might be vastly improved by tile draining. This level black land, when properly drained, is the most productive and lasting of any other quality of soil, and when once put in a good state of cultivation very quickly repays the husbandman for all his extra labor thus applied. The township is watered by the head waters of the Big Raccoon Creek, which branches off in numerous small creeks or brooklets. The personal improvements in this township are comparatively good ; while the public improvements are gener- ally substantial. The township has three post offices — Ladoga, Ashby’s Mills and Forest Home. The most important one of these is Ladoga, it being a town of from 700 to 1000 inhabitants, and is located on Big Raccoon and the L., N. A. & C. R. R., 20 miles north of Greencastle and 12 miles south of Crawfords- ville. The town is built mostly of wooden buildings. The public highways are quite numerous, there being one east and west for every section line, and are good in dry weather. The bridges are good and strong. There is one gravel road in the township. There are, outside of Ladoga, 8 school houses, worth ;^48 qo ; 222 MONTGOMERY COUNTY. school house lots, furniture, maps, &c., $1500; total value of school property, $ 6 '^oo.

Brown Township, located in the southwest corner of the county, contains about 54 square miles. It does not lay in a square, from the fact that Sugar Creek constitutes a part of its boundary line on its northwest corner, making the line irregular on that corner. There is also, on the north line near the cen- ter of the township, an offset of one mile to the north, the line running from thence a due westerly course until it strikes Sugar Creek. The southern part of the township is gently rolling and of good soil, well adapted to all sorts of grain raising, and in fact, take it generally, it is a section of country well calculated to re- pay the labors of the farmer in every way that farming may be done. It will produce good corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley, buckwheat, potatoes, cabbages, turnips, beets, parsnips, rad- ishes, apples, peaches, plums, grapes, and every other kind of vegetable and fruit common to this climate ; so that if the farmer fails entirely to get a crop, it is evident that he has not done his duty. The northern part of the township is considera- bly broken, and therefore not so good for any but small grains, which do moderately well. Judging from other sections of country where sheep raising is made profitable, we should think that that business would yield a handsome profit to the woo 1 grower in Northern Brown Township. This township, like most others in the southern part of the county, was originally covered with a dense heavy forest of good and durable timber, but time, patience and perseverance have cleared away many 248 MONTGOMERY COUNTY. mighty oaks, poplars, walnuts and other majestic towering trees, until in the south part of the township there are many fine, well cultivated farms. Brownsville, a small town located on the L., C. & S. W. R. R., is a very pleasant place, yet, notwithstanding it is near the center of the township, it is not to be compared, either for size or enterprise, with the town of Waveland, in the southwest part of the township and on the same railroad. Waveland is said to have a population of about 1000. It is a place of enter- prise and industry, besides the seat of much learning. The vote of the township is 515 ; Rep., 289 ; Dem., 226. There are ii school houses and about 575 scholars enrolled. The public school property is valued at $6600. SECRET ORGANIZATIONS. Waveland Lodge, F. and A.

Rep. 278 MONTGOMERY COUNTY. SCOTT TOWNSHIP. Scott Township is bounded on the south by Putnam county, on the east by Clark township, on the north by Union, and on the west by Brown. This township contains 36 square miles. Some of the head waters of Big Raccoon Creek take their rise in the township, consequently a considerable quantity of the land is hilly, and not of the best quality for grain raising ; al- though not so broken but that for pasture lands it is excellent, especially for sheep grazing. The township was once very hea vily timbered, and was the delight of the fearless hunter, for in these heavy forests there was abundance of game. The town- ship, however, is not all hilly land ; many beautiful farms may be found within its borders, lying gently undulating, and even some nearly on a dead level, so that it may be said to have a variety of lands, both as to soil and undulation of surface. The public improvements in this township are on an average with other well improved townships. Parkersburg, a small town in the southwest corner, is the principal town of the township. The L., N. A. & C. R. R. strikes near the southeast corner of the township, and runs along near the east line to near a mile north of Ladoga, where it crosses into Scott Township, cutting off 500 or 600 acres of land. Ladoga, in Clark township, is the principal railroad station for the inhabitants of Scott town- ship, there being no other station very near. 'I'he vote of the township is 238 — Republican, 100; and Dem- ocratic, 138. There are seven school-houses, valued at $ 6000 , all under the care of Clayton Caplinger, Township Trustee.

Univc 294 MONTGOMERY COUNTY. RIPLEY TOWNSHIP. Ripley Township is located in the southwestern part of the county, and is bounded by Fountain county, and Wayne, Union and Brown townships in Montgomery county, and contains about 30 square miles. The west and north lines are straight. It has but three boundary lines. Sugar Creek strikes it at the northeast corner, and constitutes its boundary line from that to the southwest corner ; consequently it is a three-cornered township. The two straight lines on its west and north are about equal. The line on its southeast, made by Sugar Creek, is irregular, in consequence of the crookedness of the creek. The soil of this township is mostly good, and is generally well adapted to grain raising. The southern part is quite broken, and seems to be better adapted to grass and sheep rais- ing than for grain, although splendid wheat crops are sometimes harvested from this part of the township. The cause of the broken nature of the southern part is in consequence of the numerous little branches or creeks which find their heading in that section. Some of these branches flow south and empty into Sugar Creek, while others flow westward into Mill Creek. This Mill Creek has some head waters from the northwestern part of the township also. In the northeastern part there are one or two little streams flowing southeasterly and emptying into Sugar Creek. The northern portion of the township is more level, being in many places gently and agreeably undula- ting, and is wonderfully adapted to the growth of all kinds of grain, and every sort of vegetable grown in the State. There RIPLEY TOWNSHIP. 295 is a variety of soil, scenery and situations in this little township, where any one on the hunt of a farm might find one to meet every fancy. Originally this township was heavily timbered with the very best of timber, and there still remains a sufficient supply for all needful purposes. The public roads are very good ; in fact all the public property is in good repair. This township has no railroad at present ; its nearest railroad point is at the northeast corner near Yountsville. There are three post offices in the township — Yountsville, Alamo and Lane. The first of the three seems to be the principal place of business. The people of this township are up with other favored parts of the count}" in the way of learning and intelligence. The}^ are generally friendly and sociable wdth strangers. This township can boast of the oldest man in the State ; his name is George Fruits ; he now' lives twm miles west of Lane Post Office ; he was born in Maryland in 1763, and settled in Montgomery county in 1815 ; during the War of 1812 he served in Capt. Samuel Lee’s Compan}", under Col. Noble ; he rvas one of the frontier guards, and was wounded at the battle of Blue Lick, in Kentucky, b}^ a rifle ball in his leg, wdiich he still car- ries. Mr. Fruits is one hundred and eleven years old, and walks about the premises with considerable ease ; his wife is still living, they having been married sixty-five years. Mrs. P'ruits is eighty-five years old. Ripley township has eight school houses, generally in good repair, and are valued at ;^3,500. Mr. J. A. Clark is the pres- ent Township Trustee. The township voting population is about 300, with a small Democratic majority, SECRET ORGANIZATIONS. Alamo Lodge, 1 . O. O. F., No. 230 ; organized in the }’ear 1861 ; membership, 50; John W.

It is claimed by the United Brethren that in the year 1872 they built a house of worship for every day in the year, and two over ; this would be 367 houses in one year. If all other denominations of different sorts of worship wmuld do as well, we KIPLEV TOWNSHIP. 297 should soon have no scarcity of places where we might worship our Creator under a roof of human mechanism ; we might, also, have within our reach houses where various manners, systems and customs are practiced, so that if we should feel disposed, in consequence of mental eruptions or personal insults, we could find a near resort, where our praises, thanks, blessings and cursings could be liberally dispensed, agreeably to our morbid feelings and tempers of mind toward our enemiies. Variety sat- isfies every passion of man. DIRECTORY OF RIPLEY TOWNSHIP. AMMERM AN, RICHARD ; proprietor of saw mill ; i ^ m w Alamo. Born in Ohio 1823 7 settled in M. C. 1842. Rep. United Brethren.

The sur- face is, in general, quite level, and in wet seasons the public highways are almost impassible in many places. The northern part of the township is prairie, with here and there a grove of small timber. There is really but little good timber in the township. The soil is generally deep, rich and dark, and with thorough cultivation produces large crops of corn, wheat, oats and rye. Coal Creek township is yet in its infancy, so far as improve- ments are concerned. We can see no good reason why this township should not, in time, be one among the most produc- tive in the county. The northern part is occupied, at present, by men who graze considerable numbers of cattle. The township is watered by a creek called Coal Creek, which is quite small. There are other insignificant brooklets. It has three post-offices — New Richmond, Pleasant Hill, and Boston Store. The township vote is about 403 — 176 Republican, and 227 Democrat. There are 1 1 school-houses in the township, valued at ^6500. SECRET SOCIETIES. Ashler Lodge, No. 63, F. and A. M., Pleasant Hill; W. W. Tiffany, W. M.; Benjamin R. , S. W.; N. Hamilton, J. W.; 3 .

Wayne Township is located on the west side of Montgomery county, and is bounded as follows; On the north by Coal Creek township, on the east by Union, on the south by Ripley, and on the west by Fountain county.

It is bounded on the east by Boone county, on the north by Franklin township, on the west by Union, and on the south by Clark. Walnut is a favored town ship, being well supplied with all that is necessary to constitute it a desirable place for the agriculturist. The soil is rich, and produces abundantly. The timber in this township is of the best quality, and is largely manufactured into- building material, staves and headings. A small stream, one of the tributaries of Sugar Creek, runs through Walnut township near its center. It is only valuable for stock water and drainage. The public highways are good, except in the low grounds in wet seasons. The people are well supplied with school houses, churches and lodges. New Ross, in the southeast corner of the township, is a live and beautiful place. Its people are intelligent, affable and en- terprising. The town is yet quite small, but the prospects are very flattering for a place of some notoriety, as there is to be a junction of railroads just east of the town. This addition will evidently be considerable advantage to the already interesting village of New Ross. We must not leave this history without making mention con- cerning a boy that we met at this place. It is so very seldom that we meet persons whose every feature and deed show honest intentions, that when we do occasionally come in con- tact with one of this sort we feel inclined to tell others of it. WALNUT TOWNSHIP. 357 This boy is young and handsome ; he is manly and noble in his thoughts, and if we mistake not, will do to trust in any position. This boy is now a clerk in a dry goods store at New Ross ; his name is Marcus B. Fraizer; his name and age are givpn in this directory. The vote of Walnut township is over 400, being Republican by a small majority. SECRET ORGANIZATIONS. New Ross Lodge, I. O. O. F., No. 397; membership, 41; value of Lodge property, $2,000 ■, instituted 1872. New Ross Grange, No. 622 ; membership, 80 ; James C. Harris, Secretary ; value of property, ;^5o. THEOLOGICAL. There are two churches at New Ross, and others at Freder- icksburg, a handsome village just north of the railroad, in the western part of the township. There are also several churches in the country, all supplied with good ministers. Sabbath schools and teachers, so that Walnut township is well up in the scale of morals. EDUCATIONAL. Walnut township has eight school-houses, all good, valued at $5000; number of teachers employed, 10; number of children enrolled, 568 ; average attendance, 463. DIRECTORY OF WALNUT TOWNSHIP.

MADISON TOWNSHIP. 371 MADISON TOWNSHIP. Madison is the center township on the north line of the county. It is 6 miles square, and contains 36 square miles. The surface of the township is level or gently undulating. The north part is mostly prairie, and is largely used for grazing purposes, though the soil is very rich and well adapted to grain raising. Corn, wheat, oats and barley may be abundantly pro- duced. Like most other townships in the northern part of the county, Madison would be wonderfully improved by tile drain- ing. There are no streams of water of any importance, except as stock water, in the township. The southern part of the township is tolerably well timbered. The public roads are very good. The L., N. A. &. C. R. R. runs through the township from north to south, about one mile from its west line. Linden, situated on the above named railroad, is the principal town. It is a very pretty little place, inhabited by an enterprising class of people. The inhab- itants of the township generally are moral, intelligent and so- ciable. They are also alive to the welfare of the township in the way of education and morals, being well supplied with good school houses and churches. The Grange order seems to be thriving under the management of cool and clear headed farm- ers. Altogether, Madison township is a desirable section of country for one who cultivates the soil and desires fat returns for his labor.

It contains 36 square miles, and is divided into sec- tions of one mile square ; eaeh one of these square miles or sec- tions contain 640 acres of land ; each 640 acres of land multi- plied by 36 gives Sugar Creek township 23,040 acres. Each one of these sections is numbered, beginning at the northeast corner and running back and forth east and west, until the whole is numbered. Thus are all townships laid out in sections and numbered. We give the above information for the benefit of the younger class of people, and it may be that a few older ones can profit thereby. The south half of Sugar Creek township is somewhat rolling ; the north half undulating to level. The northern part is mostly prairie, and is used largely for grazing purposes ; while the mid- dle and southern part is better adapted to the cultivation of the various grains common to that region of country. The soil throughout the township is remarkably rich and productive. This was the last township settled, consequently it is com- paratively new, yet the people have made fair progress in the way of improvements, and many well regulated farms and hand- some dwellings may be seen within its borders. The southern part of the township is tolerably well timbered. The southeast corner is watered by Sugar Creek, which cuts off a small corner of the township, dowser’s Mills are located on this creek. There is also a post office there by the same name. Potato Creek runs through near the center of the township. There is SUGAR CREEK TOWNSHIP. 385 a small village located upon Potato Creek, near the western line of the township, which is also called Potato Creek Post Office. The inhabitants of Sugar Creek township are industrious, courteous and of good moral standing ; they are alive to educa- tional interests and public enterprises generally. The vote of the township is nearly 300, a large majority being Republicans. The township has eight school houses, all good buildings, valued at about ,^8,000. These are under the care of Dr. J. A. Berryman, present Township Trustee. DIRECTORY OF SUGAR CREEK TOWNSHIP. Allen, John W. ; farmer; i^ m w dowser’s Mills. Born in M. C. 1837. Rep. Methodist. Boots, Sam.; farmer; 3^ m s w Clark’s Hill.

By act of Congress of May 20, 1862, any person who is the head of a family, or who has arrived at the age of twenty-one years, or has performed service in the army or navy, and is a citizen of the United States, or shall have filed his declaration of intention to become such, and has never borne arms against the Government of the United States, or given aid and comfort to its enemies, shall, from and after the ist of January, 1863, be entitled to enter a quarter section (160 acres) of unappropriated public land, upon which he or she may have already filed a pre- emption claim, or which is subject to pre-emption, at ;^i.25 per acre; or 80 acres of unappropriated lands, at $2.50 per acre. In order to make his or her title good to such lands, however, such person must make affidavit that such application is made for his or her exclusive use and benefit, and that said entry is made for the purpose of actual settlement and cultivation, and not, either directly or indirectly, for the use or benefit of any other person or persons whomsoever ; and upon filing the affida- vit, and paying the sum of ten dollars to the register or receiver, . such person shall be allowed to enter the land specified ; but no certificate or patent is issued for the land until five years from the date of such entry, and the land must, during that time, be improved and not alienated (it can not be taken for debt). At any time within two years after the expiration of said five 396 HOMESTEAD LAW. years, the person making the entry, or, in case of his or her death, his widow or heirs, may, on proof by two witnesses that he or she has cultivated or improved said land, has not alienated any part of it, and has borne true allegiance to the United States, be entitled to a patent, if at that time a citizen of the United States. In case of the abandonment of the lands by the person making the entry, for a period of more than six months at one time, they revert to the United States. CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS. 397 CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS. The Amendment proposed to the Constitution, June 8, 1866. ARTICLE XIV. Section i. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States, and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property, without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Sec. 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State. Sec. 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or Elector of President and Vice President, or hold 398 CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS. any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a mem- ber of any State Legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each house, remove such disa- bility. Sec. 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pen- sions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or re- bellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave ; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void. Sec. 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by ap- propriate legislation, the provisions of this article. The amendment passed the Senate by a vote of 33 yeas to 1 1 nays, and the House by a vote of 138 yeas to 36 nays. ARTICLE XV. Section i. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servi- tude. Sec. 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this ar- ticle by appropriate legislation. INDEX.
