February 10, 1635, the inhabitants at Charlestown made order at a full meeting for the government of the town by Selectmen, which name was speedily applied throughout New England to municipal governors. The first elections held by ballots were at the General Court assembled at Newtown, May 6, 1635. The Governor, John Haynes, and deputy, Richard Bellingham, were elected by papers, wherein their names were written; for the choice of Assistants, the names were announced (placed in nomination) by the Governor, and those of the freemen in favor deposited inscribed ballots, those opposed, blank ones. In order that the freemen should have the fullest freedom in the selection of their deputies, it was ordered that thenceforth they should be elected by papers. The people of Newtown, scarcely three years after the

king. Connecticut, from the first, possessed unmixed popular liberty. The government was in honest and upright hands; the little strifes of rivalry never became heated; the magistrates were sometimes persons of no ordinary endowments; but though gifts of learning and genius were valued, the state was content with virtue and single-mindedness; and the public welfare never suffered at the hands of plain men. Roger Williams had ever been a welcome guest at Hartford; and that heavenly man, John Haynes, would say to him, I think, Mr. Williams, I must now confesse to you, that the most wise God hath provided and cut out this part of the world as a refuge and receptacle for all sorts of consciences.

cause he was a peer. A further grant was made for house-rent. Perquisites of every kind were sought for and increased. Nay, the peer was hardly an honest man. He defrauded the soldiers of a part of their wages by an arbitrary change in the value of current coin. Beverley, 79, 80.

The assembly had attempted by legislation to call towns into being, and cherish manufactures. With little regard to colonial liberties, it also petitioned the king to prohibit by proclamation the planting of tobacco in the colonies for one year. The first measure could not countervail the navigation acts; with regard to the second, riots were substituted for the

s. The rush of Puritan emigrants to New England had quickened the movements of the Dutch on the Connecticut, which they undoubtedly were the first to discover and to occupy Chap. XV.} 1633 Jan. 8. The soil round Hartford was purchased of the natives, and a fort was erected Albany Records, II. 157. on land within the present limits of that city, some months before the pilgrims of Plymouth colony raised their block-house at Windsor, and more than two years before the people of Hooker and Haynes began the commonwealth of Connecticut. 1635 To whom did the country belong? Like the banks of the Hudson, it had been first explored, and even occupied, by the Dutch; but should a log-hut and a few straggling soldiers seal a territory against other emigrants? The English planters were on a soil over which England had ever claimed the sovereignty, and of which the English monarch had made a grant; they were there with their wives and children, and they were there forever.

But the Quakers wished more; they desired to possess a territory where they could institute a government; and Carteret readily agreed to a division, for his partners left him the best of the bargain. And now that the men who had gone 1676. Aug. 26. about to turn the world upside down, were possessed of a province, what system of politics would they adopt? The light, that lighteth every man, shone brightly in the Pilgrims of Plymouth, the Calvinists of Hooker and Haynes, and in the freemen of Virginia, when the transient abolition of monarchy compelled even royalists to look from the throne to a surer guide in the heart; the Quakers, following the same exalted instincts, could but renew the fundamental legislation of the men of the Mayflower, of Hartford, and of the Old Dominion. The concessions are such as Friends approve of; this is the message of the Quaker proprietaries in England to the few who had emigrated: We lay a foundation for after ages to unde
