said Constitution of government, said convention may consist of no person or persons belonging to said General Court. A new movement was made, and another convention called; separate counties held preparatory meetings; and, October, 1779, Stephen Willis, 3d, was chosen Delegate to meet in convention at Concord. When the town came to act on the doings of this convention, as they regarded a new Constitution of civil government for the State, the record says:-- July 29, 1779: The whole of tator,1852. E. C.

gnized that central principle of majority which lies at the basis of our civil liberties. The Constitution provided that the annual election should take place in April; thus giving the farmers the winter to think of it, and an occasion of finishing it before planting. April 2, 1781: The first in the series of the annual elections took place on this day; and the votes, in Medford, stood thus:-- For Governor. John Hancock24 For Lieutenant-Governor. Thomas Cushing20 For Senators. Seth Gorham22 James Prescott22 John Tyng22 Abraham Fuller22 Josiah Stone22 The State government took up the cause of independence with wisdom and power. At this time, a levy of clothing and beef for the army was made by it, and our records show that Medford raised its share with promptitude. The second annual election of State officers was like the third, which, in Medford, stood thus :-- For Governor. John Hancock45 For Lieutenant-Governor. Thomas Cushing44 For Senators. Ebeneze

lectmen. He died of small-pox, in England, in 1781, and was buried there. His wife died in 1770. Funeral sermon by Rev. Mr. Turell. We have shown above how the virtues and hospitality of his character secured his estates from confiscation, when those of his sons-in-law, Mr. George Erving and Sir William Pepperell, were not spared. But when it was subsequently testified that he had gone voluntarily to our enemies, and his estates were therefore confiscated in 1778, he writes to Mr. Edmund Quincy, of Boston, 1779, complaining bitterly of this injustice, declaring that he had been prevented from returning to Medford solely by ill health. These acts of oppression, as viewed by him, did not weaken his attachment to this town; for in his will, made in London in 1779, he bequeathed generously to the clergymen of Medford, to the church, and the schools. Many valuable tokens he left to friends in Boston and to the town of Worcester. His daughter Elizabeth, who married the second
