In the Senate House, the twentieth day of December, in the year of our Lord one thousand eighthundred and twenty, and in the forty-fifth year of the Independence of the United States of America. BENJAMIN HUGER, President of the Senate. PATRICK NOBLE, Speaker of the House of Bepresentatives. fieiwfelie. On the 6th January, 1819. a number of gentlemen, natives of New England, united themselves into a Society for the purpose of keeping alive in their minds the memory of the land of their birth, and the institutions handed down from their fathers. Another, a higher object with them, was to organize an efficient system of relief for such of the sons of New England as might be arrested by the hand of disease or chill penury in this City. Under a Charter granted them by the Legislature of this State, they form- ed the New England Society. Of that band of kind hearts and noble spirits, few now remain to witness the tri- umphant progress of the institution which they first put into action. Death has been busy among them; Time has laid his hand on one after another of the group; and they NEW ENGLAND SOCIETY. have gradually fallen asleep, and rested from their good works ludow. Resignations from various eauses, removals from the sphere of the Society's action, have still more reduced the list of the fathers of this Society. But, as from one cause or another, members have fallen olf. their place has been supplied by new accessions. Tlie veterans have retired and their posts been filled with enthusiastic recruits, until now the roll of tliis Society comprehends a nundjcr almost as large as any society of like nature endjraces. Xor have the sons of Xew England been the oidy ones tlmt liave })ledged themselves to its high duties. Among us are many who claim no heritage in the Rock of riymouth, in whose veins Hows none of the blood of the l^ilgrims. The virtues of those to whom we annually pay the tril)ute of respectful recollection are the connnon property of all. The earnest unselfishness ; the strong, thorough, devout reliance on God and their own hearts; the NEW ENGLAND SOCIETY honest, straightforward industry; tiie severe morahty of the Puritan Fathers, are no mere vilhige tradition, not circumscribed by narrow sectional hniits. Their names and their deeds glow burningiy and forever bright on the proudest page where Christian heroism is inscribed, and in doing honor to them, we do honor to human nature. The charities, too, which we exercise, are so consonant with all the gentler impulses of the heart^ — so true to the loftiest precepts of religion and of morals, that whoso lends his hand to aid them feels gladly conscious that he lends his powers to the alleviation of undeserved misery, and assists to make the heart of the desolate and forlorn, the stranger in a strange land, sing for joy. Animated by these pure sentiments, direct- ed to the same great end, the difterent elements of which our Society is composed harmonize to produce one noble result: and the steady increase of our numbers, the cordial co-operation which exists among us, 10 XEW ENGLAND SOCIETY shew, that in emulating the example of the Pilgrim Fathers in all things good, we follow them not when leading to narrow and sec- tional conclusions. :e=l xj Hj IB s OF THE New England Society RULE I.
