; mechanics, whom commerce fed, were reduced to want; and, in short, a general paralysis struck down the labor and enter prise of the North. By recurring to the votes for Governor and members of Congress, during these two or three years, it will be seen how almost unanimously the inhabitants of Medford went against the plans and policy of the central government. When the war with Great Britain was declared, June 18, 1812, the town of Medford took decisive stand against this measure of Mr. Madison, and in their opposition were cheered and strengthened by their pastor, who seized every occasion that offered to hurl the thunders of the Old and New Testament, and his own also, upon the authors of the abominable wickedness. The country sustained the government; and the good effects which were anticipated from this series of measures showed themselves at last, and are now making New England rich and strong. The Hartford convention, which was called in the midst of the country's strugg

When Jefferson and Madison construed our constitution in one way, and Washington and Hamilton in another, surely it is not strange that their descendants should have differed. There is glory enough for all — for North, for South, for East, for West, on these battle-grounds of a people's traditions — a grander empire than Caesar's legions won for Rome. To feel the impulse of both the North and the South is the desire of these volumes. When, some years ago, I left the portals of Trinity College, in the old aboliti

There was one certainty, however — he was fully decided to keep the Confederates in suspense as to his intentions. To do this the more effectually he divided his army at the start, Howard leading his wing to Gordon by way of McDonough as if to threaten Macon, while Slocum proceeded to Covington and Madison, with Milledgeville as his goal. Both were secretly instructed to halt, seven days after starting, at Gordon The defense of Savannah. The task of General Hardee in defending Savannah was one of peculiar difficulty.
