nstitution, which was submitted to the people in March and rejected. Another constitution was framed by another convention, which was ratified by the people almost unanimously, and went into effect in May, 1843. In 1861 a controversy between Rhode Island and Massachusetts about boundary, which began in colonial times, was settled by mutual concessions, the former ceding to the latter that portion of the township of Tiverton containing the village of Fall River in exchange for the town of Pawtucket and a part of Seekonk, afterwards known as East Providence. Rhode Island was among the earliest to respond to President Lincoln's first call for troops, and during the Civil War, the State, with a population of only 175,000, furnished to the National army 23.711 soldiers.

Slater accidentally learned that Moses Brown, of Rhode Island, had made some attempts at cotton-spinning by machinery there. He wrote to Mr. Brown, informing him of what he could do. If thou canst do this thing, wrote the earnest manufacturer, I invite thee to come to Rhode Island and have the credit and the profit of introducing cotton-manufacture into America. Slater went, and, with the aid of the Brown family, succeeded in Samuel Slater. produring machinery, by the close of 1790, that made cotton-yarn equal in quality to the best then made in England. Slater secured both the credit and the profit of introducing cotton manufacture into the United States. Within six years Slater had many persons at work for him, and established a Sabbath-school for the benefit of these and their children. His first mill was set up at Pawtucket. In 1812 he began the building of mills at Oxford (now Webster), which soon became a large establishment. He died in Webster, Mass., April 21, 1835.
