" One of these was Daniel Bradley. Bradley was present, and on guard duty, when Major Andre was brought into eamp a prisoner. He was the first butcher who regularly attended Haverhill market. He died September 20th, 1854, in the 94th year of his age. Among the soldiers hired by the town this year, were Samuel Campbell and John Cox, who, it appears, were "taken up for stealing," and tried before Sam- uel White, Esq., and the town paid the costs in their cascs, on condition that they enlisted !

The expenses of the town in the year 1780, were indeed enormous, as may be seen by their tax for that year : -
First Parish, Town Tax &185.15.12 State Tax £119.50.5

198.09.6
127.94.9
East 60
139.24.2
89.89.18
North

54.49.5
The total State tax of the town was £18010.0.0, and its County tax was £224.1.0. The reader will of course remember that these amounts are reckoned in the continental currency, which was at a large discount at this time. But, notwithstanding this, the amount was still very large, and the inhabitants were compelled to make extraordinary exertions, and heavy sacrifices to raise the money. The town treasurer was paid for over nine days time in hiring money in the month of October alone.
The Committee of Correspondence and Safety for this year, were : - General Brickett, Captain Samuel Merrill, James Pike, William Johnson, John Sawyer, Captain Timothy Eaton, and John Ela.
In addition to the matters already noticed, the town was again called upon to consider the subject of a new Constitution for the State. The

convention called for that purpose, in September, 1779, appointed a com- mittee to prepare a draft, and then adjourned to the next January, when they again met and agreed upon a Constitution. This was published and sent to the towns for their approval, or rejection.
May 2d, a meeting of this town was called, to see if they would "ap- prove of the Form of Government for the State of Massachusetts Bay, as agreed upon by their Delegates in a Convention lately held at Cambridge." General James Brickett was chosen Moderator, who "publicly read the new form of Government as published by the Convention ; and also num- bered the voters in the meeting, and declared them to be one hundred and nineteen."
The votes were taken upon each article separately. Articles I. and II. in the Bill of Rights were unanimously agreed to; but the third " was a subject of considerable debate," and the meeting finally adjourned to the next Monday, without taking a vote upon it.º
At the adjourned meeting, May 8, there were one hundred and seventy- five voters present. The debate upon Article III. was resumed, and continued for some time, when it was voted to pass over the Article for one hour. Articles IV to XX, inclusive, were unanimously agreed to, (except Article X, which passed one hundred and four to twenty-six) when the meeting again took up the third Article.
* The following is the Article alluded to : -
ART. III. As the happiness of a people, and the good order and preservation of civil government, essentially depend upon piety, religion and morality ; and as these cannot be generally diffused through a community, but by the institution of the public worship of GOD, and of public instructions in piety, reli- gion and morality ; therefore, to promote their happiness, and to secure the good order and preservation of their government, the people of this Commonwealth have a right to invest their legislature with power to authorize and require, and the legislature shall, from time to time, authorize and require, the several towns, parishe , precincts, and other bodies politic, or religions societies, to make suitable provision, at their own expense, for the institution of the public worship of GOD, and for the support and maintenance of public Protestant teachers of piety, religion and morality, in all cases where such provision shall not be made voluntarily.
And the people of this Commonwealth have also a right to, and do, invest their legislature with author- ity to enjoin upon all the subjects an attendance upou the instructions of the public teachers aforesaid, at stated times and seasons, if there be any on whose instructions they can conscientiously and conveniently attend.
Provided, notwithstanding, that the several towns, parishes, precincts, and other bodies politic, or reli- gious societies, shall, at all times, have the exclusive right of electing their public teachers, and of con- tracting with them for their support and maintenance.
And all moneys paid by the subject to the support of publie worship, and of the public teachers afore- said, shall, if he require it, be uniformly applied to the support of the public teacher or teachers of his own religious sect or denominatiou, provided there be any on whose instructions he attends ; otherwise it may be paid towards the support of the teacher or teachers of the parish or precinct in which the said moneys are raised.
And every denomination of Christians, demeaning themselves peaceably, and as good subjects of the Commonwealth, shall be equally under the protection of the law; and no subordination of any one sect or denomination to another shall ever be established by law.
422
HISTORY OF HAVERHILL.
The Recorder informs us that this " was a subject of much Altercation, and considerable Time was spent in arguing upon it. The following vote was passed, viz: 91 voted to have it stand as it was published by the Convention ; & 85 voted for an Amendment. This last Vote was recon- sidered by a Majority of 64, & on a second Tryal there were but 40 for the Article, & 104 against it. A Division then took place in this last Number, concerning the alteration & Amendment. Two Plans were pro- posed ; one by the Honble Nat. P Sargeant Esqr; & the other by the Revd Mr Hezekiah Smith. A vote was tried on each of their Amendments ; & there were 79 in favor of the former, & 66 for the latter."
At this stage of the proceedings, the meeting was adjourned until the next day, in order, doubtless, that some compromise or plan might be pre- sented that would secure a majority vote.
At the next meeting sixty-six voters were present. Commencing at Article 21, the remaining portion of the Bill of Rights was unanimously agreed to,-except Article 28th, which had one negative, and the 29th, on which the vote was a tie.
The moderator then proceeded to lay before the town "the Frame of Government," which was agreed to almost unanimously (except Article 2d, Chapter 1st, on which the vote was a tie) as far as Article 14th of Chap- ter 2d, when the meeting adjourned to the 22d inst.
At the adjourned meeting the remaining portions of the Constitution were agreed to, (the most of the sections unanimously) except Chapter 6th, which was amended by adding the word " Protestant " to the word " Christian."
General Brickett was chosen a delegate to the next Convention ; and the next Thursday (25th inst.) was fixed upon as the time to resume the consideration of the third Article in the Bill of Rights.
At the adjournment, the first vote passed was, " to re-consider all that has been acted on, respecting the 3d Article in the Bill of Rights." It being then moved to ascertain by a vote how many were in favor of the Article, it appeared that 85 were in favor, and 69 against it. The Rev. Mr. Smith then offered an amendment," which was agreed to ; and the following vote was passed :-
" Tho' the Town have tho't fit to propose to the Convention some Alter- ations and Amendments in some of the Articles in the Form of Govern- ment they have made for the Common Wealth of Massachusetts, are, notwithstanding of Opinion, & do consent, that the Whole of said Form,
· What his amendment was, the record does not inform us.

423

as published by the Convention, be established, rather than the same should be returned to the People for farther Revision ; which will prevent its taking place, & being established so soon as we wish to have it."
This town was not alone in objections to the Third Article of the Constitution. Objections were made in all quarters, and the subject was thoroughly discussed, both in public and private. Says Bradford, " The Baptists were the most inclined to complain, for the teachers of Religion were generally of the Congregational order." They considered it oppressive, and inconsistent with their rights, that those who had belonged to other Churches, and were desirous of joining a Baptist Church, should be sub- jected to the inconvenience of applying for license so to do.
The Constitution having been agreed to by a large majority of the towns in the Commonwealth, Monday, the fourth day of September was assigned for the election, by the people, of a Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Coun- cillors, and Senators, under the new Constitution. This being our first election under a State Constitution, and the inauguration of a new era in our local government, the following extracts from our town records of that date are of more than ordinary interest :-*
" The Select Ment presided at this Meeting, who, with the Town Clerk, received the Votes, sorted, and numbered them. The Votes for Governor were, Forty Seven for the Hon'ble John Hancock Esq; and Forty one for the Hon'ble James Bowdoin Esq. For a Lieut Governor, the Votes were, Twenty six for the "Hon. Jno Hancock Esq; Twenty two for the Hon Thomas Cushing; Ten for the Hon James Bowdoin Esq; & Two for Tristram Dalton Esq." Sixteen persons received votes for "Councillor Senators."
Although hostilities had been for some time transferred to a distance from the State, yet Massachusetts was by no means relieved from frequent and heavy requisitions for men and materials to carry on the war. In Decem- ber, 1780, the General Court called on the towns for a fresh supply of beef for the army. The amount assessed on this town was thirty-two thousand, two hundred and fifty-six pounds ! Large as was the quantity, the town promptly voted to raise it, and laid a tax of £48,384 to pay for it. Hardly had the town time to collect and forward their quota of beef, when (June 22, 1781) they were called on for thirteen thousand, three hundred and fourteen pounds more ! At the same time they were assessed for
" The warrants for the town meetings at this time run as follows : - "These are to notify and warn the Freeholders and other Inhabitants of the Town of Haverhill, of 21 years old & upwards, having a Free- hold Estate within this State of the annual Income of Three Pounds, or any estate to the value of Sixty Pounds Sterling, to meet," &c.
t Previous to this time, the meetings were invariably presided over by a Moderator.

fifty-six shirts ; the same number of pairs of shoes and stockings ; and twenty-eight blankets. These were all raised and forwarded before the middle of November.
July 3d, the town was called on for four men for the Rhode Island service, and they were raised. In their warrant for the meeting to attend to the above, the selectmen say "and as there is a Necessity of their being marched immediately, it is hoped the good Inhabitants of this town will generally attend, and use their utmost endeavors in procuring said men."֏
The effective aid of the French, in men and money, in 1781, threw a bright glow over our military and financial operations, and helped to crown our arms with brilliant success, both on sea and land. Early in 1782, the English government, wearied with the fruitless and desperate seven years struggle, and hopeless of success, began to think seriously of overtures of peace. The preliminary motion was made in Parliament February 27th, and five days later it passed. The preliminary articles were signed at Paris in the following November, and in September, 1783, the treaty was signed at the same place.
Thus the war of the revolution was happily ended. The Colonies were wrested from the grasp of England, and AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE Was acknowledged and established. It was indeed " glad tidings " to Ameri- ca that peace was declared. Every countenance was radiant with smiles ; and the proclamation, when read, was hailed with tumultuous cheers. Bells were rung; cannon fired ; bonfires lighted; and, in the evening, houses were brilliantly illuminated. All were inspired with new life, and, looking to Heaven with grateful emotions, poured out their offerings of gratitude to God !
In looking back over the long and severe struggle, and considering how heavy was the burden upon the towns, especially of Massachusetts, it is with no small degree of pride that we find upon the official record the fact, that, upon the final settlement, Haverhill was deficient one man only, in all the drafts that had been made upon it ! We can, without exaggeration,
" In Captain Nehemiah Emerson's company, in the 10th Massachusetts Regiment, in 1781-2 were the following from Haverhill : -
Thomas Page, enlisted March 18, 1781, for 3 years
Parker Page,
Nathaniel Clark, = 19, " =
14, =
Thomas Page and Nathaniel Clark were only about fifteen years old when they enlisted. They were taken into his company by Captain Emerson, at their own urgent solicitation, and with the consent of their parents, as his musicians, Page being drummer and Clark fifer. It is said that their youthful ap- pearance and skilful execution attracted the attention of Washington, who enquired of their Captam in regard to them, and drew from him the compliment (of which they were ever after proud) "they are pretty boys." They remained with Captain Emerson until the close of the war.

say that " there were but few towns, if any, which made greater exertions to forward the cause of freedom than this ; no effort was spared ; no sac- rifice was thought too great. The courage of the inhabitants never flagged, even at the darkest period; ' they had nailed the flag to the mast,' to use the expression of a veteran of that period, ' and they determined to see it wave in the winds of freedom, or fall nobly fighting.' They were willing to spend their treasures and shed their blood ; and when there was scarcely room to hope, the votes which were passed in their town-meetings, show a spirit of coolness, determination and patriotism which is truly astonish- ing; - they evinced a chivalry far nobler than that of olden time; they were actuated by a principle from which death only could separate them."0

CHAPTER XXIII.
-
1765 TO 1790.
DURING the period covered by the preceding chapter, the inhabitants of this town were so completely absorbed in the great work of American Liberty, that but little time or attention was given, or indeed could have been given, to anything else. We find, therefore, but few things to note during this time, except those relating to the great struggle, and which we have already considered in the above chapter. But these few matters will now find place, before we take up the history of the town under the broad and peaceful banner of American Independence and American Union.
The items of the valuation of the town, as taken in 1767, seem so well worth an insertion in this place, that we copy the return in full : -

HISTORY OF HAVERHILL.
We presume no grumbling tax-payer will claim that this valuation was too high, as five pounds each for dwelling-houses, and forty shillings for a " servant," certainly seems low enough. In comparing this list, thereforc, with those of a later date, this extremely low valuation should be taken into the account.
It will be noticed that this valuation list gives fifteen less slaves, than the census of 1764, only three years previous. May not the difference be accounted for by supposing that the other fifteen were either too young or too old to be of any value, as " property ? "
In 1767, the first powder-house was erected. It was eight feet square, but where it was located we are unable to say.
February 221, 1763, a Fire Club was organized in this town, and fire- wardens were chosen. The latter were Cornelius Mansise, Enoch Bartlett, Samuel White, Esq., and Isaac Osgood.
The object of the Club, was, to assist in extinguishing fires, and " in saving and taking the utmost care of each other's Goods " upon such oc- casions. The number of members was originally limited to twenty-five, each of whom was to provide " two good Bags, of one yard and three quarters in length and three quarters of a yard in breadth, with strings at the mouth ; and two good leather Buckets, 0
0 and keep them hanging in a convenient place," ready for an emergency. The officers were a Moderator, who was chosen at each meeting, and a Clerk, who was chosen annually. New members were only admitted by unanimous con- sent. The penalty for non-attendance at a fire, was fifty cents. The members had a watch-word, changed at the pleasure of the society, which they were forbidden to divulge, under a penalty of thirty-four cents for each ofence. The number of original members was eighteen, and included the most prominent and respectable citizens in the village.
Subsequently the Club (or Society) furnished themselves with a number of ladders, which were kept in different parts of the town, ready for emer- gencies ; and added a new feature to their Constitution, the design of which was to protect each other from loss of goods by theft. Their arti- cles provided that half the members should draw tickets at the quarterly meetings, upon which should be inscribed the different roads to be pursued in case of theft ; that those who drew tickets, upon the first information of theft upon the property of any member, should repair to the place where the theft was committed, or to his usual place of abode, and pursue the roads they had drawn, unless the committee of advice should prescribe different routes ; and it was made their duty to use the utmost exertion to apprehend the thieves and recover the stolen property. All extra expenses
428
HISTORY OF HAVERHILL.
were paid by the Club. This plan of operations was not only the means of recovering much stolen property, but the knowledge of its existence, and of the energy and perseverance with which all its doings were char- acterized, without doubt proved of still greater value by its preventative influence upon the evil disposed.
The Club further extended their sphere of usefulness, by providing grapples. for the recovery of bodies in case of drowning, and which were kept in constant readiness for emergencies.
For a long series of years, the annual supper of the Fire Club was one of the great social occasions of the year, and though the active duties of the Club have long since been transferred to the Fire Department of our town, the annual supper is still duly prepared and enjoyed by the surviving members of the Club, and its anniversary bids fair to be held in remem- brance these many years to come.
