The Daily Dispatch: July 23, 1863., [Electronic resource], "The hub of Creation." (search)
our reading the substance of the expression used in describing their self conceit and meddlesome character more than 170 years ago. Wiswall, agent of the Plymouth colony, writing from London, Nov. 5, 1691, to Hinckly, Governor of the colony, used the following language: "All the frame of Heaven moves upon one axis, and the whole of New England's interest seems, designed to be loaded on one bottom, and her particular notion to be concentric to the Massachusetts topic. You know who are wont to trot after the Bay horse." It is to be remembered that the "Plymouth colony" and that of "Massachusetts Bay" (or Boston) were originally under distinct governments. The Massachusetts Yankees, finally forced those of Plymouth "to trot after the Bay norse. " After a long series of years of successful villainy their vanity has induced them to believe that they can force the South to revolve around the Massachusetts "hub!" As well might they attempt to reverse the order of the heavenly bodies.
