Mason, Lowell 1792-1872 Composer; born in Medfield, Mass., Jan. 8, 1792; at an early age became a teacher and composer of music, and at the age of twenty years went to Savannah, Ga., where he gave instruction and led choirs and musical associations. In 1821 he published in Boston his Handel and Haydn collection of Church Music, which was so successful that he returned north and settled in Boston, where, in 1827, he began the instruction of classes in vocal music. He taught juvenile classes gratuitously on the Pestalozzian system, and published many collections of music, glee-books, etc. In connection with Professors Park and Phelps, he complied a Collection of Psalms and hymns for public worship, published in 1858.

hey need no such thing at my hands. There are men in this Senate justly eminent for eloquence, learning, and ability; but there is no man here competent, except in his own conceit, to sit in judgment on the clergy of New England. Honorable Senators, so swift with criticism and sarcasm, might profit by their example. Perhaps the Senator from South Carolina (Mr. Butler), who is not insensible to scholarship, might learn from them something of its graces. Perhaps the Senator from Virginia (Mr. Mason), who finds no sanction under the Constitution for any remonstrance from clergymen, might learn from them something of the privileges of an American citizen. And perhaps the Senator from Illinois (Mr Douglas), who precipitated this odious measure upon the country, might learn from them something of political wisdom Sir, from the first settlement of these shores, from those early days of struggle and privation, through the trials of the Revolution, the clergy are associated not only with t

New Connecticut. Sixteen of the newly formed townships on the eastern side of the Connecticut River, wishing to escape the heavy burden of taxes imposed by the Revolutionary War, applied to isolated and independent Vermont to be received as a part of that State. They were adopted (1779) under the pretence that, by Mason's patent of New Hampshire, that State extended only 60 miles inland, and that those towns were west of that limit. As Vermont yet hoped to be admitted to the Union, and the Continental Congress, disapproving of the proceeding, sent a committee to inquire into the matter, the connection with the New Hampshire towns was very soon dissolved. An ineffectual attempt was then made (June, 1779) by the towns on both sides of the river to constitute themselves into a State, with the title of New Connecticut. New Hampshire retaliated by renewing her old claim to the territory of Vermont as the New Hampshire Grants (see New Hampshire). Very soon Vermont began to act o

It is to be presumed that the desired loan was promptly made, for at four o'clock on the afternoon of July 4, Mr. Garrison rose to address an audience which filled Park-Street Church and included Whittier, Goodell, and John Pierpont, whose spirited hymn (With thy pure dews and rains) was ready for the occasion. It was sung now under the direction of Lowell Mason; and was heard afterwards at many an anti-slavery meeting during the No. 798 in Adams and Chapin's Hymns for Christian Devotion. thirty years conflict, besides being included in some church hymnals, in which the following stinging verses must have made it especially serviceable and effective: Hearest thou, O God, those chains, Clanking on Freedom's plains, By Christians wrought!

Holmes's Sun-day hymn, better knownt of composers, such as Barnby and Dykes and Bradbury, whose music is a departure from the sturdy four-four rhythms of Lowell Mason's Laban or Uxbridge or Hamburg. Their newer melodies tend to the use of three-four and six-four measures, and to consiting from Bernard of Clairvaux by way of the Wesleys to Phoebe Cary, and in composition from the Gregorian chants via Lowell Mason and Bradbury to P.
