Morally the Congregational church received a stimulus.53 Men no longer seceded because of monetary reasons. The onus of a state church was removed. The old charge of a clerical tyranny lost force. There was still a feeling of social superiority on the part of its members, but at any rate this had no legal recognition. Hence in the future this sect, as all others, had to depend on its spiritual force. The reaction against infidelity encouraged the revivals of 1818 and the following years.54 A foreign mission school, which had been established in Cornwall in

53 As Rev. R. C. S. McNeille preached: "But Congregationalism has not always been at its best. It was not so when it held onto the mechanism of the Standing Order, when in so many influential quarters it opposed the revivals which began about 1740; . . . when its members were almost all of them of aristocratic tendencies in their politics, when it long looked with disfavor upon the use of the lay element in church work. ... One of the strong points of Congregationalism hereabouts has been its respectability. It has almost died of it." One Hundred and Fiftieth Anniver- sary of Association of Fairfield, pp. 55-56.

1817, was thriving. Sunday schools were being established to teach the Congregational catechism which had been driven out of the public schools.55 Noah Porter declared in 182 1 that no year had been so fa- vorable or more prolific of good results.56 Later Congregational au- thorities agree that in the end the separation benefited the church. Cer- tainly no one will maintain that the interests of the state were preju- diced.
Lyman Beecher, who so dreaded a voluntarily supported ministry, lived to see his fears refuted. His son, the editor of his autobiography, described the sadness of the Beecher family 57 from whom a "perfect wail arose" when they had been informed by John P. Brace of the Democratic success:
I remember seeing father the day after the election, sitting on one of the old-fashioned rush-bottomed kitchen chairs, his head drooping on his heart, and his arms hanging down. "Father," said I, "what are you thinking of?" He answered solemnly, "The Church of God." ... It was a time of great depression and suffering. . .. It was as dark a day as ever I saw. The odium thrown upon the ministry was inconceivable. The injury done to the cause of Christ, as we then supposed, was irreparable. For several days I suffered what no tongue can tell for the best thing that ever happened to the State of Connecticut. It cut the churches loose from dependence on state support. It threw them wholly on their own resources and on God. .. . They say ministers have lost their influence; the fact is, they have gained. By voluntary efforts, societies, missions, and revivals, they exert a deeper in- fluence than ever they could by queues and shoe buckles, and cocked hats and gold-headed canes.

I. NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS
Contemporary newspapers have been one of the chief sources of ma- terial for this study. May Humphreys in his List of Newspapers in the Yale University Library (New Haven: 1916) enumerates, all told, twenty-eight journals of which all but thirteen had an ephemeral exist- ence. In 1818 there were about fifteen newspapers, besides the Religious Intelligencer, with an aggregate circulation of fifteen thousand copies. First, there was the Connecticut Courant (1764) published in Hartford by Hudson and Goodwin, strongly patriotic during the War and in- tensely Federalist in the after-period. Among the Republican papers the American Mercury (Hartford) was the foremost. It was founded in 1784 by Joel Barlow and Elisha Babcock, the latter becoming its editor and owner in 1786. The Connecticut Mirror, founded in 1809 at Hart- ford, represented an extreme wing of the Federalist party, just as the Columbian Register under the editorship of Joseph Barber of New Haven (1812) did in the Republican organization. In 1817, F. D. Bolles and J. M. Niles of Hartford established as a Tolerationist organ The Times. The Connecticut Herald (1803) and the Connecticut Journal (1767), both of New Haven, were Federalist journals of secondary rank. The Connecticut Gazette of New London, the Litchfield Monitor, the Norwich Courier, the Middlesex Gazette, and the moderately liberal Phoenix or Windham Herald complete the list of important weekly papers. During the Embargo days America's Friend of Stonington had considerable vogue among administration supporters. Niles' Weekly Register of Baltimore has been of considerable value after 1811. News- papers outside of the state have only been referred to when quoted through the Courant or Mercury.
Among the reviews which have been used are: North American Re- view, vols. 1-9 (1815-1819); The General Repository and Review, vols. I-4, Cambridge: 1812; The Portfolio, vols. 1-6, 3d series, vols. 5-6, Philadelphia: 1816-1818; The Atheneum, vols. 1-5, Boston: 1817-1819; The Methodist Magazine, vols. 1-2, New York: 1818; and the Connecti-
