I believe that that is common to\\nmountainous regions in most parts of the world. Scotland and\\nSwitzerland show the example of hardy, strong men in mountahious\\nregions, attached to war and to the chase and it is not unfortunate\\nin our New Hampshire history, that this sentiment, to a considera-\\nble degree, prevailed. For the position of the country, and the\\nstate of the people called for its exercise. We know that New\\nHampshire was settled in all its frontier towns, under circumstances\\nof the most dangerous and difficult nature and character. It was\\na border State. It bordered on the Indians and on the French\\nnames and nations always coupled together in the language of our\\nfathers as common enemies to them. This exposed the frontier\\nmen, of New Hampshire, especially, to perpetual war to perpetual\\ndanger at least of war, and its frec^uent occurrence. The people\\nforget they forget how recent it is, that the interior, the border\\ncountry of New Hampshire, was settled and reclaimed, and made\\nsafe from Indian depredation. All the world reads that New\\nEngland is the oldest part of the United States, or one of the old-\\nest. It has been looked upon as the longest settled. But, in regard\\nto the frontiers of our native State, the settlement has been recent.\\nEven up to the time of the birth of some of us now living, there\\nwas some degree of danger from Indian depredations and Indian\\nwars liability to Indian assaults, murders, and burnings.\\nWhole generations, at least one entire generation, tilled the land\\nand raised their bread with their arms in their hands, or in the\\nfields with them at their labor. We do not noAV appreciate the diffi-\\nculty of those frontier settlements because subsequent prosperity\\nand security has obhterated the recollection.", "height": "3343", "width": "1799", "jp2-path": "festivalofsonsof00sons_0028.jp2"}, "29": {"fulltext": "MR.

He en-\\ntered into it, however, with all the manliness and all the fervor of his\\nyouthful character. Yet, in his advanced age, like other old men,\\nhe turned back fondly to earlier scenes and when he spoke of the\\nwar, he always meant the old French and Indian war. His re-\\nmembrances were of Canada of the exploits at Crown Point, and\\nTiconderoga, and Lake George. He seemed to think of the Revo-\\nlution as only a family quarrel, in which, nevertheless, he took\\na warm and decided part; but he preferred to talk of the war\\nin which he was taken by the Indians, as he was more than once, I\\nthink, and carried to Canada. The last time I saw him, he was\\nseated around a social fire with his neighbors. As I entered, he\\ngreeted me, as he always did, with affection and I believe ho\\ncomplimented me on my complexion, which he said was like my\\nfather s and his was such, he said, that he never knew whether he\\nwas covered with powder or not.

When our forefath-\\ners went there for Liberty, for the enjoyment of the rights of Free-\\nmen, both civil and religious, they were often compelled to have re-\\nsort to arms. And, from its first settlement till the close of the\\nFrench War, in 1763, her troops were continually in the field, and,\\nalso, even down to the Peace of 1783.\\nWe had Waldron, and Westbrook, and Penhallow, and Lovewell,\\na name justly distinguished in New Hampshire, as both father and\\nson were able officers. The name of the former will be ever dear for\\nthe gallant manner in which he sold his life in fighting for the de-\\nfence of the homes and the firesides of his fellow citizens, in the\\nmemorable battle near the banks of Saco river in 1725.\\nAfter that period, came the old French War, as it is called, in which\\nNew Hampshire did its full portion of fighting, on the land and on\\nthe sea. From among her sons was selected the Commander of the\\nexpedition to Louisburg, in the Island of Cape-Breton, where he\\nwon the only victory, and that an honorable one, during the whole\\nwar, which ended in the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle.

I came. Sir,\\nfrom Timber-lane, now the town of Hampstead. Perhaps the\\noriginal name arose from the fact, that the place produced tall trees\\nand tall boys laughter. Mr. Emerson is about six feet two\\njust opposite the place where Dr. Smith came from. [Applause.]\\nIt was there a very common course of business, for a young man, to\\nbreak a colt, own a horse, and keep a school. I early engaged to\\ndo the latter.\\n[Mr. Emerson proceeded to tell an amusing story, of passing\\nthrough Chester, to go eighteen miles over a turnpike in the woods,\\non a moonlight night, to keep his engagement for the commencement\\nof a school. When about half way, he broke a stirrup and got un-\\nhorsed. After refitting and remounting, he unwittingly took a back\\ntrack, and, towards morning, much to his surprise, reached the village\\nof Chester, from which he had started the evening before. After de-\\ntailing the story, Mr. Emerson concluded his remarks as follows:]\\nBut, Mr. President, the occasion on which we have met, brings\\nup to the mind other scenes, and other events, than those which\\nare merely amusing or ludicrous. We have, this evening, together,\\nturned our eyes back upon the places that knew us in our infancy\\nand youth. To us. New Hampshire presents something other than\\nher Crranite Hills; yes, Sir, and something more interesting even,\\nthan the grassy vales, or the pearly brooks, or the silvery water-\\nsheets, that ai e associated with the pastime of our early days.\\nDearer to us still, than the imagery of those bright scenes, is the\\nmemory of the friends that we first loved those who nurtured us\\nin infancy, who guided us in youth, who opened to us the avenues\\nof knowledge, who warned us of the miseries of vice, and presented\\nto us the inducements of virtue, and who made us what we are.\\nPerhaps they still live, to greet our occasional returns to the paternal\\nhome or, perhaps we have been called to commit them to the\\nsilent bosom of the earth. Be that as it may, our relation to them\\nis sacred, and while the power of thought shall endure, the memoi-y\\nof their kindness will abide.", "height": "3343", "width": "1799", "jp2-path": "festivalofsonsof00sons_0096.jp2"}, "97": {"fulltext": "MR.

These trusts and responsibilities he sus-\\ntained during the whole revolutionary war. He was the centre around\\nwhom all that was patriotic in the State was accustomed to assemble.

I feel, sir, coming from old Exeter, as if I were almost\\ncalled upon to say something in behalf of the daughters of New Hamp-\\nshire. Here are fifteen hundred of the sons and there ought to be fifteen\\nhundred of the daughters next their hearts. [Applause.] Gentleman, it\\nhas been said, that one reason why they are not here, is, that there is not a\\nhall in Boston large enough to hold the company, if each of us brought a\\nlady. But for one I should be willing, for the sake of the society, to sit a\\ngreat deal closer.

An Exeter man has\\na peculiar reason to look after the interests of the ladies, and be mindful of\\nthem and why Because connected with the history of the colony which\\nwas commenced at Exeter, is a peculiar circumstance, which has not been\\nalluded to here, but which ought not to be forgotten. The leading spirit of\\nthe settlement at Exeter was a woman a noble-hearted, learned, accom-\\nplished and modest woman bearing a name not very common on modern", "height": "3343", "width": "1799", "jp2-path": "festivalofsonsof00sons_0303.jp2"}, "304": {"fulltext": "l\\\\2 NEW HAMPSHIRE TESTITAL.\\nlips, but a name famous in history. That woman was Ann Hgtchinson.\\nAs this is a time for renewing historical recollections, let me allude briefly\\nto the circumstances connected with her and the settlement of our town.\\nTo her we are chiefly indebted for the settlement of Exeter and I think it\\nwill be readily admitted by all, that we have been greatly indebted to the\\nsame gentle sex for the continuation of that settlement to the present time.\\n[Great applause.] It has been said here by some gentleman that the main\\nbusiness of New Hampshire is to raise men and I should like to know if\\nthat is a business which has been conducted by the lords of creation\\nwithout the assistance and afiectionate sympathy of others [Cheers.]\\nIn 1629, John Wheelright and others bought a tract of land, of which\\nExeter is a part, of Passaconaway and others of the Indian Sagamores.\\nThey paid them in something better than bank bills; in blankets, and coats,\\nand kettles, and took the famous deed which is on registry in our County of\\nRockingham. John Wheelright was a brother of Ann Hutchinson, and\\nwas a learned and pious preacher in Braintroc. He was of the sect known\\nas the Antinomians, and so was Ann Hutchinson, and she was the leader of\\nthat sect in the Massachusetts colony. She was one of the giants ia\\nthose days, of which my friend has spoken for she stood forth a whole\\ncentury before her time, claiming for all the largest liberty, both civil and\\nreligious. The word Antinomian signifies literally, I believe, an opposer\\nof law. They adopted the name with pride, as denoting their belief in the\\ndoctrine of salvation by faith, and not by works of the laio, while their\\nenemies applied it to them in derision, as opposers of the laws of the land.\\nAnn Hutchinson, supported by her brother, and encouraged by Sir Henry\\nVane, the Governor of the colony, taught doctrines which where at war with\\nthose of the established clergy of the times. She claimed, with Descartes,\\nthat the conscious judgment of the mind is the highest authority to itself.\\nHer doctrines were similar in many points to the Quakers. She advocated\\nthe most absolute freedom of mind in religous belief, and the supremacy of\\nconscience above human law, She believed in the inner light, what per-\\nhaps might now be called the higher law, and claimed the spirit of Gof\\nas the constant companion of man.\\nIt may at times be called heresy, but I believe it is a principle of\\nreligious sect now, that a plain law of God is never to be transgressed.\\nThat was the doctrine of the giants in those days, among whom where\\nAnn Hutchinson and John Wheelright. In this goodly city of Boston,\\nwhere the Puritans lived, there was no such thing as religious toleration as\\nwe esteem it now-a-days. The doctrine then was, to tolerate what was right,\\nand nothing else. The Bible was the right, and the clergy were to decide\\nwhat the Bible was; and so they controlled all civil and religious matters.", "height": "3343", "width": "1799", "jp2-path": "festivalofsonsof00sons_0304.jp2"}, "305": {"fulltext": "MR.

This Autinomian controversy sprung up, and\\nit came to be a political question, and the Antinomian party was voted down.\\nFinally, Ann Hutchinson and John Wheelright, and a few others of the\\nleading spirits were exiled from Massachusetts colony, because they were\\nunfit for the society of its citizens and in 1G38, they removed to the banks\\nof the Piscataqua, to the land purchased by Wheelright of the Indians\\nand in the beautiful language of Bancroft, at the head of the tide waters,\\non that stream, they founded the town of Exeter, one more little republic\\nin the wilderness, organized on the principles of natural justice, by the vol-\\nuntary combination of the inhabitants. [Cheers.]\\nThere they established the very first church ever assembled in New Hamp-\\nshire, and the very first goverment, too, worthy of the name. They\\nrecognized the right of every man to have a voice in the election of civil\\nofficers, and made the people subject to no laws, except such as they them-\\nselves enacted. No such restriction of the right of voting and holding\\noftices, to church-members alone, as was provided in Massachusetts, was\\nadopted there. In short, their civil organization was, as nearly as possible,\\na pure democracy, and in religious sentiment, perfect toleration the\\nlargest liberty was their principle. [Applause.]\\nWhen we consider that nowhere else, in the new world or the old, there\\nexisted then any true religious toleration, the liberal course of the Antino-\\nmians seems truly remarkable. The Rev. Mr. Ward, who preached at\\nAgawam, now Ipswich, expressed pretty strongly the popular idea upon\\nthis subject. He that is willing to tolerate any unsound opinion that his\\nown may be tolerated, though never so sound, will for a need hang God s\\nBible at the devil s girdle. It is said that man ought to have liberty of\\nconscience, and that it is persecution to bar them of it. I can rather stand\\namazed, than reply to this it is an astonishment that the brains of men\\nshould be parboiled in such impious ignorance.\\nAnd yet in the very days of such intolerance, the noble spirits who led\\nin the settlement at the falls of the Squamscot, two hundred years ago,\\nmaintained the same liberal views of the rights of conscience of which the\\npresent generation boasts.\\nThe fiist settlement of Exeter, then, was mainly for the enjoyment of\\nreligious and civil liberty and in this, as has been said already, this settle-\\nment was peculiar. Subsequent history shows that the inhabitants never\\nabandoned their principles for we find that when, a few years later, the\\nColony of New Hampshire united with Massachusetts,, there was this re-\\nmarkable provision expressed in the compact that citizens of New Hamp-\\nshire might vote and be eligible to seats in the General Assembly, though\\n10*", "height": "3343", "width": "1799", "jp2-path": "festivalofsonsof00sons_0305.jp2"}, "306": {"fulltext": "114\\nNEW nAMPSniRE FESTIVAL.\\nthey were not members of the church, while none but church-members in\\nMassachusetts could aspire to such privileges.\\nWe claim for the settlement of Exeter a higher motive than actuated\\nthose who commenced the other settlements in New Hampshire. The ear-\\nliest settlements in New Hampshire where at Portsmouth and Dover, in\\n1623, but they were for other objects than the enjoyment of liberty, either\\ncivil or religious. The Company of Laconia, consisting chiefly of mer-\\nchants of London, fitted out two companies for the establishment of a colony\\nand fisheries at the mouth of the Piscataqua. Belknap gives us some idea\\nof the quality of these pioneers in the new country.

One company\\nlanded at Little Harbor, below Portsmouth, and there set up saltworks, and\\nthe other went further up, and established themselves at a place called\\nNortham, now Dover, N. H. The main employments of both companies\\nwere fishing and trading. No such transcendental notions as Antinomian-\\nism, or Inner Light, disturbed their business operations. Our Portsmouth\\nfriends who are present will not be offended at the suggestion that there is\\na slight ancient and fishlike savor of their early history in their frequent\\nboast, at the present day, that they have the best fish-market in the country,\\nat their spring market. [Applause.]\\nHampton, the other of the four original settlements, was settled in 1G36,\\nby a colony from Massachusetts, by authority of the General Court, chiefly\\nfor the valuable salt marshes there. It was claimed as a colony, and was\\nfor a long time under the jurisdiction of the laws of Massachusetts.\\nHistory will justify us in boasting somewhat of old Exeter. We find\\nher people ever ready to resist oppression, in every form and the spirit of\\nAnn Hutchinson still alive among her women. In 1683, when the royal\\ngovernor, Cranfield, undertook to impose taxes on the people of New Hamp-\\nshire without their consent, at Exeter, his oflicers, who were sent to collect\\nthe tax, were beaten off with clubs by the men, and attacked by the women,\\nwith true Antinomian spirit, with boiling water, whenever they attemr \\\\j\\nto enter their houses.

The inhabitants of mountainous regions love\\nliberty, and cherish, with undying zeal, the freedom that belongs to wild\\nscenery, often the haunts of wild animals, ranging through the forests, and\\nover the gorges of Alpine formations. This trait of human character is\\nforcibly illustrated by the Circassians, who have been battling for the\\nmaintenance of their ancient privileges, through many long years of unin-\\nterrupted warfare against the invading Russians.

Massachusetts received the Pilgrims.\\nThey lie buried in her soil and here is the secret of Massachusetts pros-\\nperity and greatness, and this it is which makes her so worthy of imitation.\\nThe Pilgrims gave her the bible and the spelling-book, the divine and the\\nschool-master.

As early as 1732 a grant of land\\nwas made -by the authorities of the Massachusetts Province to certain of\\ntheir citizens, comprising what was then known -as the Lower and Upper\\nAshuelot, and further up the Connecticut, Number Four, as it was then\\ncalled.

Keeue was the name after-\\nwards given to the Upper Ashuelot, and Number Four at length became\\nCharlestown. The Massachusetts Colonial Government claimed jurisdiction\\nover all this territory, and it was supposed to belong to that province till\\nthe year 1740, when it was settled otherwise by the King in Council. And\\nthe inclination of the men of Cheshire to the present day to adhere to Massa-\\nchusetts, is not unlike that of their ancestors, for, on receipt of this decision\\nof the King, separating them from the Old Colony, they appointed an agent\\nto represent their case in person before His Majesty, and voted to pre-\\nsent a petition to His Majesty in Council, setting yb?*^/i their distressed estate,\\nand 2)raying that they may be annexed to the Massachusetts Province.\\nAnd since the failure of that petition, the sons of old Cheshire, having con-\\ntinued to feel their distressed estate, and being unable to obtain a decree\\nannexing them to the Massachusetts Province, have taken the matter into\\ntheir own hands, and made it their province to annex Massachusetts to\\nthem, and we here see the result. [Cheers.]\\nMr. President, our portion of the State is full of historical incident and\\ninterest. Through it lay the pathway of the Indians and French, who from\\ntime to time made incursions into the heart of Xew England, There were\\nFort Dummer, and Bridgnian s fort, and Hinsdale s fort, at Hinsdale, near\\nthe mouth of the Ashuelot, and many others were scattered along up the\\nriver. Here was the birthplace of the heroine of that most touching and\\ninteresting tale, related by herself, the story of the captivity and sufierings\\nof Miss Jemima Howe. Here were the finest of the hunting and fishing\\ngrounds of the Indians and the hieroglyphics, still visible about the Bellows\\nFalls, manifest their attachment. Here was the scene of another of the\\nheroic deeds, not of our fathers only, but of our mothers. John Kilkukn\\nand IIezekiau Peak, and their two sons, with Kilburn s wife and his daugh-\\nter HiTTY, who alone in a small fort near the Great Falls, on the banks of\\nCold Piiver, maintained themselves against near four hundred savages,\\nshould not pass without mention when Hitty Kilburu and her mother\\nmoulded the bullets and loaded the muskets for their father and Ijrothcr and\\ntheir two brave companions till their lead was all gone, and then, to re-\\nplenish their exhausted magazine, with suspended blankets caught the spent\\nbullets of their Indian foes as they rattled through the roof. [Applause.]\\nAnd there is the gallant defence of the fort at Number Four, conducted by\\nCaptain Stevens and his heroic men, against an overwhelming force of\\nIndians and French, which gained from Commodore Charles Knowles, then\\ncommanding the British fleet upon these shores, such encomiums and re-\\nwards that, upon the incorporation of the place in 1753, in honor of him it\\nreceived the name of Charlestown.", "height": "3343", "width": "1799", "jp2-path": "festivalofsonsof00sons_0331.jp2"}, "332": {"fulltext": "140\\nNEW HAMPSniUE FESTIVAL.\\nIt is now precisely a hundred years since the incorporation of the prin-\\ncipal large towns of Cheshire County.

Six horses were attached\\nto the stage, and passengers rode with the driver on the top, and with the\\nluggage. We walked up the hills just as Jeremiah Smith told his second\\nwife his first wife did and, in a word, had a weary day of it.\\nIn Chester we killed a black snake of monstrous size, which we bound\\nto the baggage-rack of the coach, and carried in triumph to Concord.

You hardly ever knew unless wiser than\\nmost a New Hampshire boy who, at the start, possessed either money or\\nfriends and so this part of my story may be left to your imagination.\\nThe next time I saw Kent, he was Mayor of the city of Bangor. He\\nwore a towering white hat as sleek as his face and sported a large\\nmagisterial cane, and seemed to me a mighty big man. The affray with\\nthe snake occurred to me in a moment but it was not meet that a humble\\nfish dealer of the frontier should thrust himself unbidden upon the notice\\nof the Mayor, and so I passed him in silence.

It is\\nmany years since I left my native State but her streams, her hills, her\\nmountains, the valleys where I strayed, the flow^crs that grew among the\\nrocks, the associates of those early days, in the glow of youth and in the\\nbrightness of beauty, all exist like living pictures in my memory, and have\\nbecome a part of my existence. The fame of commonwealths does not de-\\npend exclusively upon the greatness of their wealth, or the extent of their\\nterritories.

In the neighborhood in which I lived was the town library,\\nand, as my father was one of the associated owners, I was not long in ex-\\nploring a portion of its few hundred volumes and I think that no volume\\ninterested me more, at that early period, than Belknap s History of New\\nHampshire. It was in that excellent work, which combines great learning\\nand candor with the merits of a simple and classic style, that I learned\\nsomething of the trials of the early settlers of the State, the history of\\nsome of the distinguished men under the colonial government, and the part\\ntaken by New Hampshire in the revolutionary struggle. It was then that\\nI first became acquainted with the names of Weare, Stark, Sullivan, and\\nLangdon and learned that the sons of New Hampshire had an influence\\nbeyond their own territorial limits, and could make their proud mark on a\\nnation s history. And from that day to this I have endeavored to make\\nmyself acquainted with the life and labors of the many distinguished men,\\nof different religious and political views and associations, but all allied to-\\ngether by the love of truth and the claims of patriotism, who have been\\nthe ornaments and the just pride of the State. I listened with delight in\\nearly life, and as I recall it now, it seems but yesterday, to the minute\\nlegal learning of Smith, the matchless reasonings of Mason, and the touch-\\ning and perfected eloquence of George Sullivan, the worthy son of a justly\\ncelebrated father.

There is strength in her rocks there is inspiration in her moun-\\ntains. It is in such a rugged surface as that of New Hampshire, hard and\\ninflexible, and therefore uninviting to weakness of purpose and indolence\\nof habits, but diversified with every form of grandeur and sublimity, that\\nthe mind harmonizes with nature in developing noble thoughts and energetic\\npurposes. Those rugged rocks and lofty mountains have a power over the\\nheart as well as over the intellect, a power of association and attraction\\nlittle known to those who have not felt it. And hence it is, that her sons,\\nscattered abroad in dlficrcnt and distant places, always go back to her rivers\\nand mountains, and take a last look of them before they die. In common\\nwith many others, I felt my heart moved within me, when I have seen from\\nyear to year the great departed orator to whom I have referred, bend away\\nhis stop that shook the capitol, and plant his foot upon his native hills.\\nHe loved to stand by the side of those rivers he loved to breathe that na-\\ntive air and from the height of the mountains which he had gazed upon\\nand traversed in his youth, he seemed to look abroad with a greater dis-\\ntinctness, and embrace, with a clearer and wider vision, the present and\\nfuture destiny of men and nations.\\nI believe, therefore, that in the mountains of New Hampshire is to be\\nfound in part the secret of her strength.

Emigrants feel for each other a\\nstrong sympathy, when the circumstances under which they departed from\\nthe home of their ancestors were somewhat similar. And most of those\\nwho have left that State, have sought fairer opportunities for improving\\ntheir condition. They felt in some measure the narrowness of their affiiirs\\nand desired a broader field for action. And they went out and wherever\\ncivilization extends, there they are found, and there they dwell. They fol-\\nlow all the various employments of life, in the city and in the country, on\\nthe land and on the sea. They receive a ready and cordial welcome in\\nevery clime.\\nThe blood of several nations mingles in their veins. Many Enirli.^h,\\nIrish and Scotch settled in New Hampshire, and formed no inconsiderable\\npart of its population. And they were not men of an inferior class, but\\nwere industrious, intelligent, and lovers of liberty. They were principally\\ndcvoted to agriculture, that employment which has been truly said to be\\nnearest heaven.\\nOft did the harvest to their sickle yield,\\nTheir furrow oft the stubborn glebe has broke.\\nThe revolution found them true to the principles of freedom, and ready to\\nfight its battles. Hatred of oppression was in them an innate sentiment.\\nThey could not patiently wear the yoke of tyranny. All ages and both\\nsexes partook of this feeling. They offered themselves and whatever they\\nhad, upon the altar of their country. The voice of New Hampshire was\\nheard in almost every battle-cry, and the blood of her children stained near-\\nly every battle-field of the revolution.\\nTheir resources were not abundant when the war commenced, and when\\nit terminated they were left in poverty. Their fields had laid uncultivated,\\ntheir hard money had been spent, and the continental paper money had be-\\ncome worthless. They were in debt, and had not the means of paying\\nwhat they owed. But their courage was not broken by adversity it stimu-\\nlated to renewed action. The plough, the anvil, and the loom, repaired their\\nbroken fortunes. The busy hand of industry has fed and clothed them.\\nFrom such men we claim our parentage, and they have raised up and sent\\nforth children to all parts of the world, and to the merit and renown of some,\\nyour commonwealth can well bear witness. One, at least, who now\\nsleeps in the cold embraces of the tomb, has stood preeminent among\\nyou, and added no small share to the fame of Massachusetts.\\nLong may the inhabitants of New Hampshire continue to send forth\\nemigrants, who shall walk in the paths of rectitude and justice, and adorn", "height": "3343", "width": "1799", "jp2-path": "festivalofsonsof00sons_0377.jp2"}, "378": {"fulltext": "]^gO NEW UAMPSniUE FESTIVAL.\\nthe land of their adoption.
