THE l¥ORIiD'l$ FAIR PRIZE MEDAL, AWARDED TO ' Chilson's Patent Air-Warming and Ventilating Furnaces. The following are among the important improvements attained by these Furnaces : 1st. An abundant supply of fresh, healthful, warm air, free from red r hot iron htat, so injurious to health. 2d. The great power of these Furnaces in Warming Buildings, is a conclusive proof that all the heat from the fuel is used in warming the rooms, which accounts for their economy in fuel. 3d. By these Furnaces and the plan of setting the same, there is not a possibility of setting the buildings on fire in which they are located. 4th. These Furnaces are completely adapted for burning any bind of fuel, — Anthracite or Bituminous Coals, Wood, Sfc. 5th. The substantial material and plan of construction of these Fur- naces, render them durable beyond a doubt for a life time. 6th. The facility and ease of management, and ready access for cleaning out the Furnace, &c., are unsurpassed. 7th. The plan for making the joints of the Furnace proof against the escape of smoke and gas, is in every respect perfect. 8th. Fire may be kept in these Furnaces from Fall until Spring, by replenishing but once a day. These Furnaces have been thoroughly tested in all parts of the coun- try, and are now declared to be the best in the world. They have been awarded the HIGHEST PREMIUMS, (Gold and Silver Medals.) at the principal FAIRS in this country ; which, with the unanimous reports in their favor, by the different Committees of the State and City Governments, (see their various printed reports,) together with the cer- tificates and recommendations of more than eleven hundred persons who have them in use, (many of whom are professional gentlemen, whose sci- ^MiinriiraiiMMi i iiiiiiiii III !■ entific attainments in such matters are well known,) have combined to ■»anMi—w— — iBMMMIMitnMaa»«m»M render these Furnaces unrivalled in this country. The WORLD'S JURY AT THE LONDON FAIR have also declared them to be the BEST IN THE WORLD. The unparalleled success and favor this Furnace meets with in this country and Europe is very gratifying to the inventor, whose practical experience and personal attention to the subject of WARMING AND "VENTILATING BUILDINGS, is unsurpassed. All persons desirous of having a pure, fresh, healthful, warm atmosphere in their Dwellings, Churches, School-Douses, Court-llouses, Hospitals, Stores, &c., free from the injurious effects of red hot iron heat or coal gas so common to the Iron Heaters, will find an Apparatus at our Store, in every way suited to their wants. We are now fully prepared to erect in both Public and Private Buildings, every variety of our WARMING AND VENTILA- TING APPARATUS. We give our personal attention, or printed directions, for the erection of the same in any part of the World. Also, a full and extensive assortment of REGISTERS, HOT-AIR GRATES, EMERSON'S VENTILATORS, and every variety of COOKING RANGES, including CHILSON'S PORTABLE RANGE, STOVES, GRATES, &c. We have a splendid assortment of the various size.s of those beautiful Metallic or Mirror Marble CHIMNEY PIECES. Also, an extensive assortment of the latest styles of European and American Patterns of PARLOR & CHAMBER FRAME GRATES. THE TRIO V E N T I li A T I N O STOVE, INVENTED BY GARDIVER CHILSON, Patented Sept 16, 1851. The Stove can be used with or with- out the Ventilating Cap. The Cut of this wonderfully operating Stove, will enable every intelligent mind to comprehend the great results which must be accomplished by this invention. It secures in the room the en- tire heat from the fuel consumed ; the heated smoke and gases are confined directly over the fire, and compressed into and forced to impinge their heat against the continuous tapering radiating surface ; entirely exhausting ev- ery thing combustible by a very slow process of reducing the coal to ashes. As soon as the fire is kindled, close the damper in the smoke-pipe wholly; the radiator then becomes filled at once with the heated elements, the pressure being such as to cause the heated smoke and gases to settle down upon or in contact with the igni- ted coal, thus entirely consuming the smoke and gases. The floor is warmed some eight or ten feet around the Stove, yet the hand may rest on the smoke-pipe, three feet from the Stove. No clinkers or cinders can be formed In thin Stove. Fire may be kept from Fall until Spring, by replenishing once in from 2^ to 48 hours, according to usage. When Ventilation is required, (which should bo in every room,) there is a Ventilating Cap, (see Cut,) and Cold Air Pipe for the introduction of Cold Air from out of doors. From 50 to 75 per cent, of the fuel commonly used is saved by this arrangement. We have four sizes of PORTABLE FUHNACES just completed (1852) on this principle, which greatly sur- passes all former inventions for Portable Furnaces.

HERMAN'S CELEBRATED PREHIUM HOT.M_ FURNACES. These celebrated Furnaces, which have stood the test of more than fourteen years, are now offered to the public with very recent improvements, which render them unrivalled in all the qualities which constitute a perfect Furnace. The Fire Pot is cast with elongated cones running into the Air Chamber, which insure its durability and make it vastly superior to other pattern fire pots. A new mode of retaining the heat in the Air Chamber, and securing a larger radiating surface than formerly, has been invented, and an arrangement to remove the ashes from the radiator, without entering the Furnace or disturbing the brick work, has been adopted. More of these Furnaces than of any other kind, have been put up in this city and vicinity, and are giving unrivaHed satisfaction.

BOSTON: OFFICE, No. 91 WASHINGTON STREET. 1852. PRINTED BT DAMREIL AXD MOORE, DEVONSHIRE STREET, BOSTON. MASSACHUSETTS REGISTER AND RECORD. The many material changes that have been made this year in the Massachusetts Eegister, or Record, render the issue of this year's volume a very fitting occasion for giving a brief historical account of this annual. It was first issued in 1767 by its publishers, Mein & Fleeming, at the London Book Store, North side of King street, (now State street,) under the name of " Mein and Fleeming's Register for New-England and Nova-Scotia." In 1769, Edes & GiU, in Queen street, and T. & J. Fleet, at the Heart and Crown, in Corn- hill, published " Edes & Gill's North American Almanack and Massachusetts Register," printed upon paper manufactured in this country. In 1774, under the name of " Mills & Hicks's British and American Register, with an Almanac, &c." it was published by Mils & Hicks, in School street, next door to Brackett's Tavern, sign of Cromwell's Head. In 1779, Thomas & John Fleet became the pubhshers, at the sign of the Bible and Heart, at the corner of Cornhill and Water streets, and during the time of their pubheation, it was called " A Pocket Almanack." In 1801, John West, and Manning and Loring, commenced its pubheation, as " The Massa- chusetts Register and United States Calendar," which they continued until 1813, when it passed into the hands of West, Richardson & Lord, and James Loring. Mi\ Loring continued its publication for forty-seven years, in small duodecimo volumes, the last issue under his care being the volume for the year 1847. In 1847, the Massachusetts State Record, in duodecimo form, was published by James French, under the editorial management of Nahum Capen. The old Massachusetts _ Register was merged into the State Record in 1848, and has been continued annually to this time by the sama editor and publisher, — having been issued five years. This year, 1852, the interest and good will of the Massachusetts State Record being pur- chased by the present publisher, it appears in an enlarged form ; and it being the eighty-sixth year of the annual pubheation of this work, although in different forms, it has been deemed proper to give this volume its true serial number, 86. The Record of this year, in much enlarged form, (octavo,) contains, besides its usual inter- esting matter, a Business Directory of the entire State, thereby rendering it more valuable to the business community. It will be the ami of the publisher to make various improvements in the future numbers, in order to make the work a fair exposition of the unequalled institutions which Massachusetts so nobly sustains, and the important business enterprises which tend so essentially to the pros- perity of the Commonwealth. Our grateful acknowledgments are due to numerous friends who have very kindly furnished valuable information. The interest evinced in the work by the pubUc, will serve as a power- ful incentive to make it worthy of continued favor. Special acknowledgments are due to Nathaniel B. Shurtleff, M. D., Hon. Philo Leach, Hon. John P. Bigelow, Nahum Capen, Esq., Charles Hale, Esq., Charles Mayo, Esq., B. H. Currier, Esq., Chauncy Smith, Esq., of the P. O. Department, Washington, D. C. ; Timothy Reed, Esq., Rev. Luther Bailey, J. H. Buck- ingham, Esq., Ferrand F. Merrill, MontpcUer, Secretary of State, Vt. ; John G. Sawyer, Au- gusta, Secretary of State, Me. ; Hon. Asa Potter, Providence, Secretary of State, R. I. ; John P. C. Mather, New London, Secretary of State, Connecticut. That errors have occurred in this volume, must be expected, when the great amount of labor necessary to the remodelhng of the work is taken into consideration. For these unavoid- able faults the indulgence of the public is asked, with the assurance, on our part, that future numbers shall be as accurate as such works can be made with industry and zeal. Having sold the copy-right of the " Massachusetts State Record and New England Register " to Mr. Qeorge Adams, publisher of the " Boston Directory," I cheerfully recommend liim as my successor. His long experience and thorough acquaintance with business of this kind, amply qualify him to produce a work that will unquestionably give entire satisfaction to the public. NAUUM CAPEN. Having sold Mr. Oeoroe Abamb the right to publish the " RIassachusetts State Record," 1 most cheerfully recommend the work as containing a largo amount of valuable information, and its publisher as worthy of a liberal patronage.

To those who would introduce their business to every portion of the Commonwealth, it is offered as a desirable medium for that purpose. It is our design to make the work a register of the business, as well as a record of the political and social character of the State. Communications upon business operations, addressed to the publisher, will receive immediate attention. BOSTON DIRECTORY, 1852-3, Will be published July 1, 1852. To the usual variety of valuable business and miscellaneous information, will be added some new features of interest. The work will continue to represent, as fully as possible, the Institutions and Business of the growing metropolis of New England. Statistical information and notices, from parties in the city or country, sent in during its pubUcation in May, 1852, will be in season for the work. (400 pages, octavo, $1.25.)

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. The Massachusetts Legislature, or " General Court," assembled at the State House in Boston, for the session of 1851, in accordance with the Constitution, on the first day of January, — the first Wednesday of the year falling on the first of the month — at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, and were prorogued on Saturday, May 24, at eleven o'clock, P. M. The session accordingly lasted 144 days. By the following table it appears that this ses- sion of the Legislature was longer than any other t'nat has been held for twenty years, or since the amendment to the Constitution, by which the ses- sions have been annual and have commenced in January.

On one occa- sion, the House sat from 11 A. M. (Feb. 10,) to 3.^ A. M. of ttie next day, — 16.j hours withotit any recess. April 23, the House sat from 9 A. M. to 8,-^ P. M., likewise without any recess. On several other occasions the sessions were protracted to an unusually late hour. The yeas and nays were called in the House forty-one times during the session, from forty to a hundred minutes being re- quired for the operation each time. The Senate began its daily sessions at 11, till May 5, when 10 was adopted as the hour. After- noon and evening sessions were held during the last week. The daily sessions of the House were begun at 11 A. M. till March 10, when the hour was changed to 10, and so continued till April 15, when 9 was adopted. Afternoon sessions beginning at 3, were held daily from and after May 1, and evening ses- sions during the last week. Neither House was in session on Sundays, nor on Saturday and ^Monday, Jan. 18th and 20th, (on account of the Congressional Election on the lat- ter day.) — nor on Saturday and Monday. March 1st and 3d, (on account of the various town meetings on the latter day,) — nor on Monday, April 7, (for the same reason.) — nor on Thursday, April 10, (that being Fast Day.) This session of the Legislature was one of the most important that has been held for many years. The abstracts of the laws passed, above, will show what was actually accomplished in that way. We give below some account of the proceedings in other respects, embracing the elections of public officers, notices of unsuccessful bills, and some statistics collected from reports made to the Legis- lature. Organization of the tico Houses. — The Senate was called to order Jan. 1, by Hon. David Se.\.rs, the Senior member present, and organized by the choice of Hon. Hexry Wilson as President, he having 18 votes out of 2S, and Chauncy L. Knapp as clerk, he having 20 votes against 12 for Charles Calhoun. The House was called to order by Hon. Leonard M. Parker, of Shirley, the Senior member, and organized by the choice of Nathaniel P. Banks. 34 MASSACHUSETTS STATE RECORD. Jr., of Waltham, for Speaker, he having 212 votes, against 174 for Ensign H. Kellogg, of Pittsfield; andof Lewis Josselyn, of Lynn, for Clerk, he having 198 votes against 185 for Charles W. Storey, of Rox- bury. Jan. 3. Rev. A. L. Stone was chosen chaplain of the Senate, having 18 votes out of 29. Rev. Hosea Ballou had 6; Rev. Artemas B. Muzzey, 4 ; Rev. Henry M. Dexter, 1. The same day Rev. George M. Randall was declared elected chaplain of the House, he having 121 votes out of 353, there being twelve other persons voted for. It was voted that the person having the highest number should be declared elected. Jan. 7. Benjamin Stevens was chosen Sergeant- at-Arms, on the part of the House, he having 331 votes out of 333; and the next day he was chosen on the part of the Senate, having 28 votes, all that were thrown. The Election Sermon was preached to the Gov- ernor and members of the Legislature, at the Old South Church, by Prof. E. A. Park, of Andover, on Jan. 2d. Organization of the Executive. — The whole number of votes thrown by the people for Gover- nor was 121,372. George N. Briggs had 56,778; George S. Boutwell, 36,023; Stephen C. Phillips, 27,636; Francis Cogswell, 689; Scattering, 239. There being no choice of Governor and Lieutenant- Governor by the people, the House proceeded, Jan. 10, to elect from among the four persons having the highest number for each office, two to send to the Senate. The constitutional candidates for Governor were George N. Briggs, Geoorge S. Boutwell, Stephen C. Phillips, and Francis Coggswell. From these, Messrs. ISoutwell and Phillips were selected to be sent to the Senate, the former having 218, and the latter 216 votes, against 171 and 170, respectively, for Mr. Briggs. The constitutional candidates for Lieutenant- Governor were, John Reed, Henry "W. Cushman, Amasa Walker, and Henry C. Cushman. From these, Messrs. H. W. Cushman and Walker were selected, having each 214 votes against 166 and 154, respectively, for Mr. Reed. On the 11th of January the Senate proceeded to elect from the candidates thus presented to them. George S. Boutwell was chosen Governor, having 32 votes, all that were thrown, except three blanks not counted. Henry W. Cushman was chosen Lieutenant-Governor, having 29 votes, likewise all that were thrown, except five blanks not counted. Jan. 13. The organization of the Executive part of the Government was completed by the choice of nine Councillors by joint ballot of the two Houses in Convention. Six of them were qualified in Convention, on Jan. 15, two Jan. 21, and one Jan. 29. The same day, Jan. 13, the Governor and Lieu- tenant-Governor were sworn to the faithful dis- charge of their duties, and to support the Con- stitution of Massachusetts and of the United States. The Governor delivered his message in person, on Jan. 16th. Jan. 14. Amasa Walker was chosen Secretary of the Commonwealth, receiving 230 votes out of 413, and Charles B. Hall was chosen Treasurer and Receiver-General, receiving 230 votes out of 414. Feb. 28, David Wilder, Jr., was chosen Auditor of Accounts, receiving 251 votes out of 279. These elections were made by joint ballot, in con- vention. Contested Elections. — By the Constitution, each House of the Legislature is the judge of the elec- tions, returns, and qualifications of its own mem- bers. During the session, eight cases of con- tested seats were settled in the House, which. On account of the evenness of parties in that branch, e'xcited particular interest. 1. The first case brought to the attention of the House was that of Nathaniel Clark, claiming a seat as Representative to the General Court from Na- tick. At the election, in the box for votes for Representative to the General Court, there were found nine printed votes, bearing the des- ignation " for Representative in Congress," six with the name of " Horace Mann, of Newton," and three with that of " Samuel H. Walley, of Rox- bury," neither of whom were eligible as represent- atives to the Legislature from Natick. All the other votes for representative to the Legislature were written. There was another box for votes for Representative in Congress. The Selectmen in- cluded these nine votes, and returned "no choice" as the result of the election. Jan. 8, the Commit- tee on Elections reported that the nine votes should not have been counted in making up the number for Representative to the General Court, but should have been excluded, making the whole number of votes 463, necessary for a choice 232 ; and as Mr. Clark had 233, he was duly elected, and was entitled to a seat. The report was accepted the same day without much opposition. 2. The next case settled was that of Mr. Bragg, of Milford. By the State Census of May, 1850, on which the apportionment of representatives for the next ten years was based, Milford was entitled to but one representative. At the election, however, after the choice of one representative, it was voted to send another, and Mr. Bragg was then elected as the second. The ground for this proceeding was the belief that the assessors in making up their returns had committed some errors, and that the population was really enough to entitle the town to two representatives. The Committee on Elections reported, Jan. 31, that they had voted to give Mr. Bragg an opportunity to prove these errors ; but he subsequently informed them that he apprehended he should not be able to make out so clear a case of errors as to warrant him in urging the propriety of going behind the census returns, and accordingly he should withdraw from the House forthwith. The Committee were thus re- lieved from a case of considerable embarrassment, and reported that the election of Mr. Bragg " was null and void, and that he is not entitled to a seat in this House." This report was accepted, Feb. 5. 3. The right of Mr. Barry, of Hanover, to his seat was disputed on the ground, that the election on Nov. 25, 1850, when he was elected, was null and void, because the warrants therefor were dated Nov. 16, 1850, and warned the inhabitants to meet on the " 25tK day of November next," which would strictly mean Nov. 25, 1851. Feb. 20, the Com- mittee reported that the remonstrants had failed to make out a case, and that they have leave to withdraw. Feb. 28, this report was accepted. 4. The next case settled was that of Mr. Rugg, of Sterling. Feb. 19, the Committee reported that in their opinion, the decision of the case turned on the question whether the polls, at the third and final ballot, when Mr. R. was elected, were opened after five o'clock, P.M. After a careful examina- tion and detail of the best of the contradictory evidence, they were of opinion that it was before 5 ; and accordingly reported that the remonstrants had failed to make out their case, and that the sit- ting member, Mr. Rugg, was duly elected, and was entitled to his seat. Feb. 27, this report was ac- cepted; March 4, amotion to reconsider its accept- ance was lost, 54 to 119. 5. The right of Mr. Edwards, of West Newbiirg, to his scat was disputed, on the ground that he did not have a majority of the whole number of votes, including two ballots found in the box for votes for Representative to the General Court, LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. 35 bearing this designation, " for Representative to Congress for District No. 3, James II. Duncan, of Haverhill." The Selectmen had excluded these votes. Tlie Committee reported that these two votes ought not to have been included in counting the whole number of votes for Representative to tlie General Court ; consequently Mr. Edwards had a majority, and was legally chosen, and that the Selectmen did right in giving him a certificate of his election, and that he was entitled to his seat. March 4, this report was accepted. 6. The right of Mr. Robinson, of Necdham, to his seat was disputed, on the ground that the names on the voting list were not checked at the third bal- lot, at which he was chosen. It was proved that the names were checked at the first ballot, but not on the other two ; at which, however, the list was held by one of the Selectmen, who permitted no peison to vote until it was ascertained that his name was on the list. This had always been the custom in Needham. There was no evidence of any fraud or double voting at any of the trials. The Committee reported that in their opinion the neg- lect of the Selectmen to check the voters' names according to law, ought not to operate to disfran- chise the town, but that the penalty of S200 should apply to them as the only offending parties, and was a sufficient guaranty for the enforcement of a due observance of the law. Accordingly they reported that Mr. Robinson was duly and legally elected, and was entitled to his seat. April 18, an amendment that he was not entitled to his seat, was rejected, and the report, as above, was ac- cepted. 7. The case next decided was that which ex- cited most interest, and on which opinions most differed, viz., that of Mr. Nye, of Phjmptoa. At the election, the first ballot for representative re- sulted in no choice. Motions to adjourn and to dissolve the meeting were made, put, and lost. The Selectmen then called for the votes for a second trial. About the same time a motion was made not to send a representative, but the evi- dence was very contradictory and conflicting, whether it was made before or after the second balloting had actually begun. The Selectmen ruled this motion out of order, on the ground that there was no article in the warrant for the meeting au- thorizing it to be put, and they refused to entertain it. The second balloting was proceeded with, and resulted in the election of Mr. Nye. The ground on which his right to his seat was disputed was, that this decision was wrong — that the motion not to send was proper, legal, and was made at a sea- sonable time, and ought to have been entertained ; — that as the presiding officer refused to entertain it, all subsequent proceedings in electing a repre- sentative were illegal and void. On the other side, it was admitted that the reason given by the Selectmen for ruling out the motion was not suffi- cient, and that the motion was proper and legal, if made at the right time ; but that it was not so made, if made after the balloting had begun, on which point the evidence was conflicting. It was urged that the testimony that it had begun, being positive, while that on the other side was negative, gave the former greater weight. Moreover, even if the motion was reasonable, and the Selectmen were wrong, their wrong decision honestly made, with- out fraud, ought not to invalidate the election and disfranchise the town ; and, finally, that presump- tions were in favor of Mr. Nye's right to his seat, so that it must be proved that there was suf- ficient informality to unseat him beyond a rea- sonable doubt — that any doubt should be in his favor. The testimony and arguments in the case were very voluminous. Jan. 30, the original report of ttie Committee was made, that the elec- tion was void, and declaring Mr. Nye's seat vacant. Feb. 5, the question was debated, and the next day, | when the previous question \vas applied, 169 to lt55, the report was accepted 179 to 164. Feb. 10, a motion to reconsider thi.s vote occupied the at- tention of the House sixteen hours, and the next day it prevailed 194 to 179. The report was re- committed, with instructions to report additional evidence and the conclusions of fact and legal principles. March 27, the Committee reported again, adversely ; a minority report being made at the same time on the other side. April 17, after some debate the previous question was applied ; the report was amended, 162 to 1.04, by the substi- tution of the minority report, declaring Mr. Nye entitled to his seat, and in this form, was adopted, loo to 141. April 19, a motion to reconsider this vote was debated, till the previous question was applied, and rejected 135 to 172. So Mr. Nye re- tained his seat. 8. The case of Rev. Mr. Baker, of Georgetown, turned on the question whether he had been a res- ident of Georgetown for one year previous to his election. He removed with his family from Essex, wtiere he formerly resided, to Georgetown, just about a year before his election. The testimony was conflicting and uncertain, which town he ac- tually resided in at election time. One member of the Committee being absent, the remainder were equally divided as to his right to his seat, and made two reports, April 11, to the House, one on each side. April 22, a motion to recommit these, with instructions to take the testimony of Mr. B. himself was lost, and after much discussion, at the suggestion of a member, he stated to the House his own opinion. He said that he had a very strong impression that he had begun his resi- dence in Georgetown, Nov. 11, 1849, and that he did not vote, as was alleged, in Essex at the elec- tion of that year. Upon this, a motion to accept the adverse report vrixs rejected, 141 to 153, and the other report, that he was entitled to his seat, was accepted, 156 to 139. April 24, amotion to re- consider this vote was lost, 142 to 173. Decease of a Member. — But one member of the Legislature died during this session ; Dr. John Spence, Jr., of Boston, died Feb. 8. This sad event was appropriately announced to the House, by his colleague, Mr. John P. Putnam, the same day ; and that branch, after passing resolutions, ad- journed, in respect to his memory. In the Senate, upon the receipt of the intelligence by message, Mr. Seaver made a few remarks, when that branch also adjourned. Washington's Birthday. — The House, Feb. 22, after listening to some patriotic remarks from Gen. Gushing, of Newbury, at 12 o'clock, voted to adjourn " as a manifestation of veneration for the memory of the Great Founder of this republic — of respect to the Constitution — of profound and une- radicable attachment to the Union — and of devo- tion to the principles of lofty regard for liberty, joined to order, which are consigned to us in the farewell address of the Father of his country." Limitation of length of Speeches. — In the House, April 18, an order was submitted, that on and after the ■24th, no member should speak more than ten minutes ; which was laid over under the rules till the next day, and then rejected. May 15, a sim- ilar order, limiting the time to fifteen minutes, was adopted. 111 to 53, — but after trying its practical operation a few hours, this vote was reconsidered, 133 to 62, and the order was laid on the table. Pay-roll. — The pav-roll of the Senate amounted toSl2,158: and that of the House to <;US,1'24; and there was allowed to "Wm. H. Bradford, of Ply- mouth, his full pay and mileage, ^300 ( Res. Xo. 93), and to two members 5147.50, on account of expen- ses of sickness (iZes. Nos.bo. and 65), making the total pay of members of the House SI 18,571.50. In addition to this, §200 was paid to the Chaplains {Res. No. 74), S4,S04 to the Clerks, $i,A'2\ to Mes- 36 MASSACHUSETTS STATE RECORD. sengers, Doorkeepers, &c., and ^50 to Preacher of the Election sermon — making the whole compensa- tion to the members and officers of the Legislature, for the session, ,^139,204.50; there was also allow- ed to sundry members of the legislature of 1850 5264.70, on account of sickness, &c., making the total g 139,469.20. Massachusetts State Record. — In the House, May 13, it was "Ordered, that the Sergeant-at- Arms furnish to each member of the House, a copy of the Massachusetts State Record for 1851." A subsequent motion to reconsider this vote was lost. Elections of Senators in the U. S. Congress. — In the House, Jan. 10, a motion was made " that 11.^ o'clock the next day be especially assigned for the election of a Senator in the Congress of the United States for six years from and after the 4th day of March next." A motion to amend this by adding the words: "and in the election the roll of the House shall be called and each member shall give his vote viva voce," after a long debate, was lost, 129 to 181. The next day, the original motion was amended by substituting the 14th for the day of the election, and it was then adopted. Accordingly, Jan. 14, two ballots were had for a Senator, but no choice was effected and the assign- ment was laid on the table, 189 to 157. Jan. 15, it was taken up, and a motion to postpone it to the next day being lost, 167 to 215, another unsuccess- ful ballot was had, when the House adjourned, 187 to 179. Jan. 16, two more ballots were had, and the further execution of the order was postponed for one week, 189 to 178. Jan. 23, three more bal- lots were had, and the House adjourned, 174 to 150. Jan. 24, two more ballots were had, and the further execution of the order was postponed two weeks, 188 to 182. Feb. 7, three more ballots were had, and the matter was postponed four days, 202 to 126. Feb. 11, it was postponed to the ne.xt day without discussion or opposition, the House then being engaged in the " Nye " election case. Feb. 12, a ballot was had, and the matter was post- poned two weeks. Feb. 26, two more ballots were had, and the matter was postponed two weeks, 189 to 182. March 12, two more ballots were had, and a motion to postpone four weeks being lost, 182 to 195, the matter was postponed one week. March 19, a ballot was had, and the matter was post- poned two weeks, 196 to 151. April 2, a motion to postpone four weeks was lost, 164 to 201 ; one to postpone two weeks was also lost, 162 to 180; a ballot was had, and the matter was postponed three weeks, 175 to 133. April 23, four ballots were had, the House remaining in session eleven hours. The next day, April 24, the consideration of the matter was resumed, when two ballots were had, at the latter of which, (being the 26th from the beginning.) Charles Sumner, of Boston, having received exactly the number of votes necessary to a choice, was declared elected on the part of the House.

The first three were conducted in the usual manner, by passing boxes round among the members of the House. Jan. 16, however, it was ordered that thereafter the members should deposit their votes at the table in front of the Speaker's desk, in presence of the House and under LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS, 37 the inspection of a committee, marchinsj thereto, in order, by forms. This mode of conducting the ballots was used from the fourth to the thirteenth, inchisive ; but after the eleventh ballot, Feb. 7, it was ordered that during the voting the floor should becleared of all persons except members. Feb. 12, as an additional precaution, it was ordered that the Clerk call the names of the members in order, and check them as they deposited their votes ; this was done from the fourteenth to the twenty-fifth ballot, inclusive. April 24, it was ordered that the votes should be enclosed in sealed envelopes before being deposited, and this mode was used at the twenty-sixth and final ballot. Meanwhile, the Senate, Jan. 17, assigned the 22d for the election on tbeir part of a Senator for six years from March 4, 1851. On that day it was ordered, 23 to 14, that the vote be taken vivd voce, and the result was as follows : For Charles Sumner — Messrs. Austin, Bucking- ham, Cazneau, Dean, Dewitt, Graves, Griswold, Howe, Kimball, Keyes, Morrison, Mosely, Robin- son, Saunders, Taber, Usher, Warner, Welch, Wel- lington, Whitney, Wood of Plymouth, Wood of Worcester, Wilson [President], — 23. For Robert C. Wtnthrop — Messrs. Barney, Bas- sett, Boynton, Daniels, Hawley, Hilliard, Hub- bard, Hvde, Kuhn, Newell, Russell, Sears, Seaver, Wilkins— 14. For Henry W. Bishop — Mr. Beach — 1. Absent — Messrs. Bigelow and Brown — 2. And accordingly Charles Swnner was thereupon declared elected, on the part of the Senate. In the Senate, April 25, their Clerk was directed to notify His Excellency the Governor that Charles Sumner had been elected, by concurrent vote of both Houses, to be Senator in the Congress of the United States for six years from and after March 4, 1851. May 14, a communication was received from Mr. Sumner, signifying his acceptance of the office. Election of Senator for the unexpired term. — In the House, Jan. 21, a message was received from the Governor, communicating the facts of the res- ignation of Hon. Daniel Webster, July 22, 1850, and the appointment, by Gov. Briggs, July 27, of Robert C. Winthrop, to be his successor "until the meeting of the Legislature," in accordance with the Constitution. A similar message was received by the Senate, Jan. 27, when that body proceeded to assign the next day for the choice of a Senator to fill the vacancy, the term expiring March 3, 1851 ; and it was ordered, 16 to 15, that the vote should be viva voce. Accordingly the Senate proceeded to a ballot. Jan. 28, when Robert Rantoul, Jr., received 21 votes, Robert C. Winthrop 13, and Stephen C. Phil- lips 2; Messrs. Bigelow, Bassett and Robinson be- ing absent, and there being also then a vacancy in the Senate, caused by the resignation of Mr. Taber, Mr. Rantoul received the vote of all the Sena- tors present who voted for Mr. Sumner on the22d, except Messrs. Buckingham and Morrison, who voted for Stephen C. Phillips, and also that of Mr. Beach, who before voted for Henry W. Bishop, and Mr. Brown, who was before absent. Mr. Win- throp received the votes of all the Senators present who voted for him on the 22d. In the House, Jan. 29, the next day, was assigned for the choice, on the part of that body, to fill this vacancy. Jan. 30, the ballot was had, and resulted as follows: Whole number of votes, 372; necessary for a choice, 187. Robert Rantoul, Jr., had 187; Robert C. Winthrop, 173; George S. Boutwell, H. H. Childs, Josiah E. Abbott, Henry AV. Bish- op, 2 each; Charles Sumner, Stephen C. Phillips, Benjamin F. Hallett, Samuel D. Bradford, 1 each; and two blanks, not counted. Accordingly Robert Rantoul, Jr., of Beverly, was elected by the concurrent vote of the two Houses. His credentials were presented in the U. S. Senate Feb. 7, but he did not take his seat there till Feb. 22. Hi.s term cxi)ircd March 4. Time, place, and manner of elections of U. S. Sen- ators.— In the House, May 19, a bill was reported " to define the time, place, and manner of holding elections for Senators in Congress," providing that whenever a U. S. Senator is to be chosen, the time shall be prescribed by joint resolution of the two branches of the Legislature ; that he shall be chosen by concurrent vote of the two Houses, each voting separately, hy vivd voce vote; and in case of disagreement between the two Houses, the same proceedings to be repeated. May 22, this bill was refused a third reading, 51 to 57, and thus rejected. Western Railroad Directors. — In convention of the two Houses, Feb. 14, J. S. C. Knowlton of Worcester, and Edward L. Keyes of Dedham, were elected Directors in the Western Railroad on be- half of the Commonwealth, the former receiving 203 and the latter 202 votes out of 391. Preacher of the next Election Sermon. — The choice of this officer, by usage, rests with each branch of the Legislature in alternate years. Feb. 25, the House proceeded to his election for the year 1852. The whole number of votes was 320, of which Rev. Abel Stevens (Editor of the Zion's Herald and Wesleyan Journal) had 179, and was accordingly elected. The ne.xt day a note was re- ceived from him declining the office, and the House proceeded, March 5, to another election, when Rev. RoUin H. Neale received 106 out of 283 votes, and it was voted that he be declared elected. Change in Election Day. — A proposed amend- ment to the Constitution, to change the day of the election for Governor, &c., to the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November annually, so as to correspond with the day required by the U. S. Law for the election for "Presidential Electors, received the assent of the Senate, 24 to 8, on May 7, but was indefinitely postponed in the House, May 22. Connty Officers. — In the House, Feb. 21, a bill was reported providing, as a uniform day for the election of all county officers, except in SufTolk and Nantucket, the first'Monday in March. Feb. 28, a motion to amend by substituting for the day the second Monday in November was lost 26 to 114, and the bill was then indefinitely postponed, 100 to 41, and thus rejected. Valuation of the State. — The valuation of the State, as made by the Valuation Committee of 1850, appointed to sit during the recess, was slightly amended, and adopted in the Senate, April 23, and in the House April 28. As finally established, the number of polls in the State is estimated at 245,- 142, and the property is valued at §597, 936,995.46. Of this, 33,705 polls and 5217,587,172.00 are in Suffolk County. Taxation of property of Corporations iti the cities and toions ichere they are located. — In the Senate, Jan. 23, it was ordered that a joint special com- mittee (No. 22) be raised to consider the expediency of providing by law so as to secure this object. March 28, the Committee reported a bill for the purpose, which was refused a third reading, April 1, 13 to 21, and thus rejected. Taxation of Mortyaged Real Estate. — In the Senate, Jan. 23, the Committee on the Judiciary were instructed to inquire " if some legislation may not be necessary in relation to taxation on mortgaged property, requiring the mortgagee to pay the tax on the amount mortgaged." Feb. 1, a bill was reported in conformity with the plan of this order, which was somewhat amended, and passed through its several stages in that branch. In the House, April 12, the Committee to which it was refused reported that it ought not to pass ; and May 16, the bill was laid on the table. Lands. — The whole number of tracts of land held in common and undivided, bv Massachusetts and 38 MASSACHUSETTS STATE RECORD, Maine, which have been sold since the separation, amounts to eighty-five ; and they are of various dimensions, amounting, in the aggregate, to 884,341 acres, equal to thirty-eight and one-third full townships of 2-3,040 acres each. The amount for which they have been sold, is ^833,352. The whole number of tracts of land which have been divided by the two States, and set off in severalty to this State, are 11.5, containing in the aggregate 2,486,038 acres, equal to about 108 full townships of 23,040 acres each. The ssle of a portion of these lands, down to, and including the year 1850, amount in the aggregate to 1,589,491 acres, and were sold for the sum of ^876,502. The number of acres of lands held in common and undivided, remaining unsold, is about 1,876,000. In the conveyances of townships, there were reserved for public uses, in each township, 320 acres. In addition to the amount of lands set off to this State, as beforenamed, a considerable num- ber of the reserved lots fell to the share of this Commonwealth, also many islands along the seacoast of Maine. There have been taken from the Massachusetts share of lands, several townships granted to acad- emies, to soldiers of the revolutionary war, and to the settlers at Madawaska. Since 1820, the number of acres sold has been 2,412.527 ; grants and reservations, 468,364 acres ; receipts for sales, timber, &c., 51,998,226.55 ; paid for surveys and explorations, ^72,337.97 ; paid for making roads, &c., 570,676.04 ; current e.xpenses of land office, ^39,083.78. Balance handed over to the treasury, in money and securities, ^1, 816,128.76. The quantity of land owned by and strictly in the possession of Massachusetts, either in severalty or jointly with Maine, is now about 14,009,000 acres. Besides, she still retains the fee of some townships, upon which the right to cut timber has been sold, either for a time limited or in perpeticum. With the exception of a few townships which lie upon the extreme head waters of the Kennebec and Penobscot Rivers, these lands are all located upon the River St. John and its tributary streams. This fact materially affects their value, for the timber upon the waters of this river, whether within the State of Maine or in the province of New Bruns- wick, has but one avenue to market, and that is furnished by the river itself. Whenever it reaches tide-water, it is within the territory of Great Britain, and if shipped to a port of the United States, is subject not only to the export duty of the province, but also to the payment of such duties as our own tariff imposes. Whatever be- comes of it, it is burdened with the impost of the province. The consequence is, that all or nearly all the timber which goes down this river, is shipped to England or the Continent. Another consideration, which ill some measure affects the value of the largest part of it, is its distance from market. These considerations cause lands upon the River St. John to be much less valuable than are lands no better timbered and no better watered, which lie upon the Penobscot. In the House, Jan 30, a resolve was reported providing for a division of the public lands in Maine, in accordance with the act of 1819, relating to the separation of the District of Maine from Massachusetts proper. This was laid on the table, Feb. 3, 145 to 67. May 22, the bill, having been taken from the table was refused a third reading, and thus rejected. Monuments. — The resolve {No. 6) in aid of a monument in Acton to the memory of Capt. Isaac Davis was so successful (being ordered to a third reading in the House, Feb. 3, by the decisive vote of 190 to 31, and all motions to refonsider, &c., being lost) that several other projects for " monuments " were started. In the House, Feb. 13, the Committee n t he Library were instructed to consider the e.\.- pediency of a State appropriation of §2000 in aid of a monument to John Eliot, the apostle to the In- dians, to be erected in Forest Hills Cemetery. On March 6, the Committee reported that it was inex- pedient to make such an appropriation. March 28, a motion to amend this report by substituting a bill appropriating ^2000 for the purpose, was rejected, 91 to 121, and the reportwas accepted, 181 to 93. March 31, a motion to reconsider this vote was lost, 53 to 124. In the Senate, April 14, a like motion to amend was lost, and the report was accepted. In the House, a petition was presented for State aid to a monument to Crispus Attuck, who fell in the Boston Massacre, March 5, 1770, and referred. The Committee reported leave to withdraw thereon, and the report was accepted by the House, May 1, and soon after by the Senate. Commissioner to the Industrial Exhibition. — In the Senate, Jan. 23, a resolve was reported, pro- viding for the appointment of a Massachusetts Commissioner to attend the industrial exhibition in London, and appropriating §3000 for his expenses and those of the State Committee who have had contributions in charge, which was forthwith passed to be engrossed. In the House, Jan. 28, this resolve was refused a third reading, 84 to 164, and thus rejected. Jan. 30, this vote was reconsidered 150 to 118, and the resolve was recommitted. Feb. 5, it was reported in a new draft. Feb. 15, this was amended, 45 to 45, by striking out all relative to the appointment of a Commissioner, so as to ap- propriate 5800 to defray the expenses of the State Committee who had had the Massachusetts contributions in charge, and was ordered to a third reading, 133 to 40. In this form, it was finally passed by both branches as above, (Resolves, No. 20.) Co7npensation of the Clerks. — In the House, Feb. 6, a Committee was raised to consider this subject. Feb. 18, they reported a resolve which was finally passed. {Resolves, No. 38.) At the same time, how- ever, Mr. Heath of Tyringham submitted a minor- ity report, expressing the opinion that there is too great a difference between the compensation of the clerks and members, with a resolve which he sub- mitted as an amendment, allowing the clerks from $5 to $7 a day, with 5IOO for copying the journals in duplicate, and to the Assistant Clerks, from 52 to 54 a day. March 11, the latter resolve was amended so as to make the Clerk's pay §8, and the Assistant's $i. The question on this was divided; the first branch was rejected, 114 to 168, and the second adopted, 94 to 65. April 5, this last vote was reconsidered, and the resolve was ordered to a third reading, the same as it was origi- nally reported, and in this form it was passed by botli branches, as above. Pauper Accounts. — In the House, Feb. 17, at the same time that the bill was reported, which was sub- sequently passed and became a law, {Acts, No. 42,) providing as a penalty for delay in returning pau- per accounts, the forfeiture of a certain percentage instead of the whole amount, the Committee on Claims reported a resolve for the payment of all the back accounts since 1848, heretofore forfeited for delay, 48 in number, (28, forfeited under the same circumstances, having been allowed from time to time by special resolves,) amounting in all to 51,581.66. Feb. 20, this resolve was laid on the table, and subsequently recommitted. March 12, it was reported in a new draft, allowing to 61 towns 52,372.83. March 31, a motion to recommit the resolve, with instructions to report a general re- solve, embracing the principle of paying all the towns wtiose accounts have been refused payment for'delay, was lost, and the resolve was refused a third reading, and thus rejected. April 1, this vote was reconsidered, and the resolve (in the first draft) was ordered to a third reading. May 3, the resolve was amended by substituting the new LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. draft and inserting a general provision for the pay- ment of all pauper accounts which have been dis- allowed on account of delay, and was passed to be engrossed, 112 to 63. In the Senate, however. May 6, the resolve was refused a third reading, 11 to 20, and thus rejected. May 21, a motion to re- consider this vote was lost. Increase of Sakiri/. — In the House, April 11, the Committee on the Judiciary was instructed to con- sider the expediency of increasing the salary of the Hampden Judge of Probate. April 19, a bill was reported establishing this salary at 53-i0pe;'a»7i! ^"^^ ^"^ the same proportion for a greater capital, and re- quiring annual returns from Horticultural Socie- ties. May 19, this bill was refused a third reading, and thus rejected. State Board of AyricuHure. — In the House, April 4, a bill was reported " to establish a State Board of Agriculture," to be composed of the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of State ex officio, and delegates from the various county agri- cultural societies, to take the general supervision of all matters relating to agriculture in the Com- monwealth ; to receive, hold in trust, and ex- ercise control over any donations or bequests from private sources, made to advance agricultural edu- cation ; appropriating one-fourth of the income of the public lands, when the school fund shall have reached ,51,000,000 and the Western Railroad Stock Sinking Fund shall have reached §700,000, as an agricultural fund, to be expended at the discretion of the Legislature, for the encouragement and support of institutions for instruction in the sci- ence and practice of agriculture. INIay 12, this bill was refused a third reading, and thus rejected. Canada Thistle. — In the Senate, Feb. 1. the Committee on Agriculture were instructed to con- sider the expediency of providing by law for the extinction and prevention of the further spread of the Canada thistle within this State. March 2J. a bill was reported to this effect, which was refused a third reading, April 2, 6 to 12, and thus rejected. Railroads — occupied the attention of the Legis- lature largely, as usual. A number of laws were passed incorporating new companies, and extend- ing the privileges of old ones, as will be notiixd in the abstracts of the Acts above. The general legis- lation proposed with regard to them, however, with some exceptions, {see Acts, Nos. 88, 102, 147, 317,) did not receive the support of majorities of the Houses, and most bills of this kind failed. In the House, Feb. 13, and Senate, Feb. 14, an order was passed, directing the Railway Committee to consider the expediency of providing by law tor the establishment of a Board of Railway Commis- sioners. April 19, in the Senate, a bill was re- ported providing for the appointment by the Gov- ernor, of three Commissioners for terms of three years, one going out of office annually, whose du- ties sliould be to visit and ins|)ect every railroad, at least once a year, and also at any time when requested by five stockholders; also to investigate the causes of accidents immediately after their oc- currence, and with authority to apply to the Su- preme Cotirt for an injunction to restrain any rail- road corporation from further proceeding, if they think the safety of the public endangered.

In our first volume, we gave a coinplote list of the Governors of Massachusetts, from 1620 to 1847, with a brief sketch of Gov. Carver. In the second, we p;ave sketches of the Governors under the first Charter, which were continued in the third, fourth and fifth volumes. We shall continue in this and future volumes, brief sketches of each, in chronoloc;ical order. We give also /wc similes of their autop;raphs, faithfully taken, by N. B. ShurtlefT, jM. D., from original documents. In pre- paring the following notices, we have drawn chiefly our materials from the Biographical Works of Thacher, Allen and Herring, and the "American Whig Review." ELBRIDGE GERRY Was born at Marblehead, Mass., 17th July, 1744. After receiving the rudiments of education at the common town schools, he entered Harvard College before he had completed his 14th year, and received its first honors in 1762. He devoted himself for several years to commer- cial pursuits. Being a member of the legislature in 1772, he was appointed on the important com- mittee of inquiry and correspondence. The pro- j vincial Congress of 177o appointed him on the Committee of Public Safety and Supplies. The Committee had been in session at Menotomy, then a part of Cambridge. Mr. Gerry and Col. Orne \ were in bed, when the approach of the British troops induced them to flee, half dressed, to a neigh- boring cornfield, where they remained, while the troops searched every apartment of the house in order to find them. In 1776, he was sent to the Continental Congress, and continued at times a member till 178-5. He was a member of the Con- vention which framed the present Constitution of the United States. He was a member of Congress four years. In 1797, he was appointed a minister to the French Republic. He was Governor of Mass., 1810, 1811. March 4, 1813, he was inaugurated Vice-President of the United States. He died, 1814, aged 70. r^-z9^^t^_ JOHN BROOKS Was born in the town of Medford, Mass., in the year 17'52. His family had been established in this place from the earliest settlement of the country, employed from one generation to another, in the cultivation of the soil. The father of Governor Brooks was a respectable farmer, and he himself passed the early part of his life in the usual occu- pations of village husbandry. The circumstances of the family prevented his acquiring an academi- cal education ; but he attained in the school of Medford, sufficient knowledge of the learned lan- guages to enable him to engage to advantage in the study of medicine, — the profession of his choice. While at school in Medford, the celebrated Count Rumford, a native of the neighboring town of Woburn, was his associate and friend; and the intimacy then formed was kept up by correspond- ence, till the death of that distinguished philoso- pher and friend of man. Having completed his medical studies, he estab- lished himself in the practice of his profession in the adjacent town of Reading, and there he was found at the commencement of the revolutionary war. A company of minute-men was raised in the town of Reading, and young Brooks, a stranger, just established in the town, and but 23 years of age, was chosen its commander. He was inde- fatigable in drilling and disciplining the men, and prepared himself for this duty by carefully observ- ing the military trainings of the British soldiery in Boston. In the organization of the army. which immediately took place. Brooks was ap- pointed a Major in Col. Bridge's regiment. In the campaign of 1777, Major Brooks was ad- vanced to the rank of Lieut. Colonel, and attached to the 8th regiment of Mass. tr.-ops, recruited prin- cipally by himself. Col M. Jackson, of this regi- ment, having been severely wounded in 1776, the command of the field devolved principally upon Lt. Col. Brooks during the campaigns of 1777 and 1778, and till he was promoted to the command of the 7th regiment, with the rank of Colonel, on the death of Col. Alden, in 1779. When the British army retreated from Phila- delphia, in the spring of 1778. Washington left his encampment at Valley Forge, and marched on its rear. At Monmouth, the two armies came in conflict, and Col. Brooks, as adjutant-general to General Lee, performed a very conspicuous part in the events of that important day. After the troops had again taken post on the banks of the Hudson, Col. Brooks was employed under Baron Steuben as inspector of discipline, and rendered valuable services. In these various positions of duty, he acquired the confidenceof Washington and established a high reputation as a military offi- cer. Col. Brooks, like most of his brethren in arms, retired in poverty from the service of his country. He immediately resumed the practice of his laborious profession in Medford and the neigh- boring towns. The kindness of his heart, and the gentleness of his manners, procured him the love and confidence of all around him. 46 MASSACHUSETTS STATE RECORD. Immediately after the close of the war, he was appointed Major General of the 3d division of the Mass. Militia. He was frequently chosen a repre- sentative of the General Court of the Common- wealth. He was delegate to the Convention of 1788, by which the Constitution of the United States was adopted. He was for several years a senator for the county of Middlesex, and a member of the E.xecutive Council. During the administration of Governor Strong, he was appointed Adjutant General of the Cotn- monwealth of Mass., and on his retirement from the chief magistracy, was called to the chair of the state, which he filled with dignity and ability from 1S16 to 1822. After his voluntary retirement from tlie chair of state. Gov. Brooks still continued to serve the community in various important capacities, and to manifest his sympathy in the public spirited objects which were presented for his approbation. On the 11th of February, 182.5, he a. tended the funeral of his revolutionary associate and suc- cessor, Gov. Eustis. He died March 2, 182o, aged 73, leaving an only surviving child, Lt. Col. A. S. Brooks of the United States armv. WILLIAM EUSTIS Was the second son of Benjamin and Elizabeth Eustis, Boston. He was born on the 10th of June, 1753. At the age of 14 he entered Harvard College, where he was distinguished as a good classical scholar, and graduated with honor in 1772. After his graduation at college he commenced the study of medicine in Boston under Dr. Joseph Warren, the revolutionary patriot. At the commencement of the glorious struggle between the mother country and her colonies, Mr. Eustis was a student. On the 19th of April, 1775, the day of the battle of Lexington, an express ar- rived in Boston communicating the intelligence; on which occasion Gen. Warren mounted his horse, called Mr. Eustis, and directed him to take care of the patients during his absence, and departed for the scene of action. About one o'clock on the same day Dr. Eustis rode to Lexington and Con- cord, where he liad an opportunity of dressing the wounds received by some of our militia from the fire of the British. Gen. Warren proposed to him that he should receive the appointment of surgeon to one of the regiments of the American army, observing that he had seen more practice than most of the gentlemen from the country. He was accordingly appointed surgeon of the Regiment of Artillery, then at Cambridge. From thence he removed with the army to New York, and soon after received the appointment of hospital surgeon. He was subsequently offered a commission in the line of the army as Lieut. Colonel of Artillery, by Gen. Knox, but he preferred the medical depart- ment, where he might improve his mind in the knowledge of his profession. In 1777, and during most of the war, Dr. Eustis occupied as a hospital a spacious house and outbuildings belonging to Col. Robinson, a royalist who had joined the British, situated on the Hudson river, opposite to West Point. In all the duties pertaining to his office Dr. Eustis was found faithful, humane and indefatiga- ble. His urbanity and social qualities rendered him popular. When the number of the medical staff was reduced by anew arrangement by order of Con- gress, he was among those who were selected to remain in service ; and in March, 1783, he was pres- ent at the meeting of the officers at Newburg, called by Washington in consequence of the excitement occasioned by theinflammatory anonymous letters. At the termination of the revolutionary war, Dr. Eustis commenced his professional labors in the town of Boston. In 1788, he was a member of the General Court for Boston, where he was on many committees, and took a conspicuous part in the debates during six or seven years in succession, pursuing still his professional calls and duties in town. During the administration of Gov. Sullivan he was chosen a member of the Executive Council. In 1800 he was elected member of Congress for Suffolk district. He was an ardent supporter of the administration of President Madison. It was under this administration that he was appointed Secretary of War. In 1815 he was appointed Am- bassador to Holland. In 1821 he was elected member of Congress for Norfolk district, which he continued to represent with ability for four succes- sive sessions. In 1823 he was elected Governor of Massachusetts. He died after a short illness in Boston, during his attendance on the General Court in their ses- sion in February, 1825, in the 72d year of his age. LEVI LINCOLN Was born in Worcester, Mass., October 25, 1782. He graduated at Harvard College in 1802, and immediately commenced the study of law. He commenced as an attorney in Worcester in 1805. He soon distinguished himself as a lawyer, and was regarded as at the head of hia profession in Worcester County. In 1812 he was elected to the State Senate. In 1814, 1815, and 1816, he was a member of the House of Mass. Representatives from Worcester. In 1822 he was again chosen Representative by the people of his native town, and elected Speaker of the House ; and on the following year he was elect- ed Lieutenant Governor of the Commonwealth. In 1824 he was appointed one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of Massacluisetts, b\it was soon re- moved from the bench by the voice of the people and placed in the chair of state. He was elected Governor in 1825, and continued in this highly responsible office till 1834. In 1835 he was elected member of Congress, and continued till 1841. In 1842 he was appointed Collector for the Port of Boston. In 1845, after a period of 33 years, he was again elected a member of the State Senate, for Worcester County, and chosen its President. He has been twice elector of President and Vice President of the United States, and has been honored with numerous other responsible trusts, which the historian will find detailed upon the pages of the State and United States Records, and in the journals of our most useful public institu- tions. To speak of the public life of Gov. Lincoln would GOVERNORS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 47 require a line of investigation and a course of remark not suited to the limits and objects of our work. But few men have served the public so long and so well. Biit few men have blended more happily true dipiiily and courtesy of manners with the performance of public duties than Gov. Lincoln. JOHN DAVIS Was born at Northboro', Mass., Jan. 13, 17S7. He graduated at Yale College, in 1812, and pre- pared for the profession of law. He commenced practice as an attorney in the town of Worcester, and soon commanded the confidence and esteem of the people by his plain common sense and sterling integrity. He was not only regarded as an able lawyer, but as the faithful friend ; — and while he responded to numerous calls for professional ad- vice— he was invariably true to the higher duties of the citizen and of the man. In 182o he was elected member of Congress, and continued five successive Congresses. In 1834 he was elected governor of Massachusetts, and again in 1835. In 1835 he was chosen United States Sen- ator. In 1841 he was again elected Governor, and continued to hold the office till 1843. On the death of Senator Bates, he was again returned to the United States Senate, for the residue of his term, at the expiration of \-hich he was elected for the term to expire in 1853. Gov. Davis has ever manifested a livfly interest in the literary and scientific associations of the Commonwealth. He has been an active and effi- cient member of the American Antiquarian Society, Yv'orcester, of which, he is at the present time, the first Vice President; and he is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. It is not within our province to speak of the pub- lic acts of Gov. Davis, for these will be noticed and recorded by the future historian. He is a gentlemen of great sincerity of motive, and averse to useless parade and public notoriety. He is happy in being useful to his fellow citizens, and his pride consists in having always acted from the noblest purposes, with a proper self-respect, and for the good of others. ^^T^it^c/^zx/rJi^ Ccj^^^f^-'OO EDWARD EVERETT Was born in Dorchester, Norfolk County, Mass. in April, 1794. He received a greater part of his schooling at the public schools of Dorchester and Boston, to which town the family removed after his father's death. He attended, for about a year, a private school in Boston, kept by the late Hon. Ezekiel Webster, brother of Daniel Webster. He passed the two last terms of the year preceding his entrance into College, at the Academy at Exe- ter, N. H. He entered Harvard College in 1807, when he was a few months more than 13 years old, and graduated with the highest honors, in 1811. Although he was inclined to prepare for the pro- fession of the law, he was persuaded by President Kirkland, to turn his attention to the study of divinity. He spent two years in preparing for the ministry, and in 1813 was settled as the pastor of Brattle Street Church, Boston. In 1814 a professorship of Greek Literature was established at Cambridge, and Mr. Everett was in- vited to accept an appointment as the first pro- fessor. This proposal was rendered more tempting by permission to visit Europe, with a view to re- cruit his impaired health. He was inducted into office in the spring of 1815, and i before he had at- tained the age of twenty one years. Before commencing his duties at Cambridge, Mr. Everett embarked at Boston for Liverpool, in one of the first ships that sailed after the peace. From London he went by the way of Holland, to GOttingen, the seat of a University at that time the most famous in Germany, where he remained more than two years. The winter of 1817-'I8, he passed in Paris, devoted to the studies subsidiary to his department, and especially tolhe acquisition of the Romaic, as a preparation for a tour in mod- ern Greece. In the spring of 1818, he went from Paris to London, passed a few weeks at Cambridge and Oxford, and made the usual tour tiirough Wales, the Lake country and Scotland. In the autumn of 1818, in company with the late General Lyman of Boston, he commenced an extensive tour in the east of Europe. After an absence of four and a half years, he returned to the United States, and entered at once with diligence upon the duties of the professorship at Cambridge. Up to the year 1824, Mr. Everett had taken no active interest in politics. In this year, the late Mr. Fuller, who had represented the Middlesex district in Congress for eight years, declined a reiMection. Under these circumstances, and without having been himself previously consulted on the subject, his name was brought forward at a volunteer con- vention of the young men of the district. The nomination was received with great favor, and he was elected by a handsome majority over the regu- lar candidate. He was reelected four times suc- cessively, by large majorities. On reference to the transactions of the ten sessions for which he was a member, it will be found that he took part in almost every debate of importance. He served on several important Committees, with signal ability. In the autumn of 1834, Mr. Everett had an- nounced his intention of retiring from Congress. In the winter of 1835, he was nominated as a can- didate for Governor of Massachusetts, and he was chosen in the autumn of that year. He held the office of governor till 1840, which he filled with honor to himself, and usefulness to the public. Relieved from public duty, Mr. Everett was led by domestic reasons to visit Europe a second time. In 1841 he was appointed United States Minister at London, and entered upon his duties at the close of the year. Immediately after the accession of Mr. Polk to the Presidency, Mr. Everett was recalled. He re- mained in London, however, until the arrival of his successor. He returned to Boston in the autumn of 1845, and in Jan., 1846, was elected President of Harvard University. He held this office three years, and then resigned on account of ill health. The public career of Mr. Everett has been a brilliant one. Whatever he has attempted, has been accomplished with much ability, learning, dignity, and elegance. 48 MASSACHUSETTS STATE RECOKD.
