To these may not improperly be added the names of Sylvanus Brimhall, Jeremiah Campbell, Adonijah Dennis, Theophilus Hast- ings, and Captain Zenas Phinney, who rendered service while residing elsewhere, and afterwards removed to Hardwick, where, in their old age, they were enrolled as pensioners. Captain Daniel Egery, of Dartmouth, and Captain Israel Trow, of Nor- ton, each commanded a company during one or more campaigns, but spent their last days here.
Among the large number of soldiers furnished by this town, it must be supposed that some were killed, and that others lost their health, or suffered other casualties. But the Muster Rolls, unlike those of the French War, are almost entirely destitute of information in this regard. There is preserved, however, in the Massachusetts Archives, clxxxiii. 405, a petition in regard to a minor casualty, which may deserve insertion, as it exhibits the character of a private soldier's outfit : -
" To the Hon. the Council and House of Representatives of the State of the Massachusetts Bay. The petition of the sub- scriber humbly sheweth, that your petitioner, being a soldier in Capt. Warner's Company in Col. Holman's Regiment, when our troops retreated out of New York, A.

These are, therefore, to pray the Honorable Court that the above account may be allowed, and your petitioner, as in duty bound, will ever pray. SHEARJASHUB GOODSPEED.
" Hardwicke, Feb. 9, 1778."
A large majority of the inhabitants of Hardwick were po- litically opposed to the War of 1812, and no action in its favor by the town is found on record. Personally, I remember that in consequence of a military requisition, there was an assembly of the militia in the spacious meeting-house, at which Major Thomas Wheeler presided. I was one of the excited group of boys who occupied the gallery, and witnessed the proceedings with intense interest. Although opposed to the war, Major Wheeler, as a good soldier, obeyed orders, and earnestly exhorted the soldiers to volunteer for the public service. At the close of his speech, he ordered a drummer to pass through the aisles, and invited volun- teers to " fall in." But, according to the best of my recollection, only one soldier responded. Convers Cutler, Jr., followed the drummer on his noisy march round and round the house many times, but in vain. The attempt to procure volunteers was abandoned, and resort was had to the draft. Of those thus com- pelled to enter the army I remember only one, Jonathan Warner, Jr., son of my father's nearest neighbor. He returned safely after a short service, and subsequently removed to Hardwick, Vt., where he died in a good old age. Among the Hardwick soldiers in that war should be included Jacob D. Rand, a native of Charlestown, who resided here several years about the com- mencement of this century. Before the war, he enlisted as a soldier in the United States army, in which capacity he served until the surrender of General Hull, at Detroit, which act he al- ways regarded as cowardly, if not treacherous, and could never speak of it except in language of indignation. After he was lib- erated, either by exchange or parole, he returned here, resumed business as a cabinet maker, and died October 8, 1840, aged 63.
A few weeks after the declaration of war, the Fourth of July was celebrated here by an oration in the densely-packed meeting- house, and a dinner and toasts under a bower on the Common. The orator was the Rev. Festus Foster, of Petersham, who sharply arraigned the Democratic party, represented by its great leader, Jefferson, and his successor, Madison, as responsible for the quarrel with England, which had resulted in war, - as he alleged under the influence and for the special interest of France. After
281

extolling the administration of Washington and Adams, the ora- tor proceeded to denounce the measures adopted by the oppos- ing party : -
" Mr. Jefferson's accession to the Presidency formed a new era in our political history. ... That system of policy under which our nation had enjoyed unparalleled prosperity was discarded for the abortive experiments of a visionary philosophy. The internal taxes, which were laid to augment our naval establishment, were suddenly repealed, and our ships dismantled and abandoned. For our new philosophers considered a navy worse than useless ; and a full treasury, lest it should tempt the cupidity of foreign na- tions, and involve us in war. . .. European nations smiled at our folly, and seized our defenceless commerce. Our merchants petitioned to government for protection ; our government re- monstrated to the belligerents, who knew our weakness, and were insulted. Under the pretext of avenging our wrongs and insults, our whole commerce was suddenly annihilated ; many of our merchants made bankrupts ; our seamen made to beg their bread or flee their country ; and the whole community made poor in the midst of plenty. That a measure, which injured us more than all other nations, should be adopted and persevered in by our government, against the loud remonstrances of half the nation, is a mystery which yet remains to be explained, unless the hand of Napoleon was there. . .. The Embargo was not only ap- proved by France after it was laid, but it was known in Paris that such a measure was about to be adopted, before Mr. Jeffer- son recommended it to Congress. Can any one who impartially views these facts doubt for a moment who originated and imposed upon us that destructive system ? Do you wish to know who has annihilated neutral commerce, and barred you from the ocean ? Ask France. Do you wish to know why the importation of British goods into these United States has been prohibited by law ? Ask France. Do you wish to know why and by whom you have been driven into a war with England ? Ask France. Her continental system has become the basis of our maritime law. The Embargo, under which we so long groaned and now groan, is her offspring. She dictates to us with whom we shall make peace, with whom war. We bow submissively to her im- perious mandates, and yet contend that we are free."
The toasts, which followed the dinner, exhibit a similar parti- san spirit : 1-
1 None of them, however, are quite so spicy as one which is said to have been
282
HISTORY OF HARDWICK.
"The day we celebrate : It dissolved our union with Britain ; may it never witness our alliance with France. - The memory of Washington : Had not our rulers set at nought his counsels, we had been at peace. - James Madison : It is not the most dis- tinguishing trait in his character, that he does wrong by design, but that he should never do right by mistake. - His late Excel- lency Elbridge Gerry : Charity hopeth all things ; we therefore say to the proscriptions and outrages of his last year's administration, his poverty, and not his will, consented. - His Excellency Caleb Strong : At the call of his countrymen, he comes like Cincinna- tus, from the sweets of retirement to correct the abuses of a mal- administration, and restore to the people their equal rights. - The Hon. Timothy Pickering : A real patriot, ever faithful in declaring those stubborn facts which Democrats dread to hear. - Massachusetts : The first to resist the encroachments of foreign despotism, - may she be the last to submit to the usurpation of a domestic faction. - Thomas Jefferson : He found our govern- ment ' in the full tide of successful experiment ;' he left it ebb- ing to the common vortex of Republics. ... The projected con- quest of Canada : The feats of Don Quixote shall no longer excite laughter, nor his character want a parallel. . . . Modern Democracy : it has bruised our heel; let the next presidential election break its head. - The United States of America : may they remember from whence they have fallen, repent, and do their first works." One volunteer toast may properly be ap- pended, concerning the "projected conquest of Canada," which, if not strictly decorous, was at least pointed and suggestive : President Madison: With both his feet in one stocking, and a Canada thistle in his small-clothes."
Such is only a faint reflection of the intense political heat which was manifested by both Federalists and Democrats, before and during the War of 1812. Within the next ten years it sub- sided entirely, and was succeeded by what was styled " The Era of Good Feeling."
Far different was the public sentiment at the commencement of the War of the Rebellion in 1861, and during its continuance until 1865. With scarcely any exceptions, the inhabitants of Hardwick, without distinction of party, rallied to the support of offered by a zealous Democrat, in a and if God has n't a better opinion of neighboring town, on a similar occasion : them than I have, he won't call them up -' The Federalists.' May they die and then."

the government, and promptly responded to all requisitions for men and money. Side by side, and with equal patriotic ardor, Republicans and Democrats marched to the frontiers, where they rendered faithful service, and some of them sacrificed their lives on their country's altar. The following list, gathered from the Adjutant General's official " Record of the Massachusetts Volun- teers," probably embraces the names of nearly all the soldiers fur- nished by this town in the Massachusetts Line.
