in our land titles had a most powerful and bad effect. Our first planters had nothing in their character in common with speculators or squatters. They had too much religion and morality for either ; but they could not be insensible all the time to the claim of the Masons, and that it was regarded at home as the only legal title. This hung over them like an incubus, and retarded settlements and improvements of all kinds. Perhaps, too, we must allow something for bad government, till a short time before our sepa- ration from Great Britain.
At the end of the first century, the population of New Hamp- shire did not exceed ten thousand, and ours was the smallest of the four towns. We had but twenty qualified voters for the choice of representatives, as fixed by the Council in 1680. Exeter, in its ancient limits, in 1830 contained 7330 inhabitants.
I have left myself no room to speak on many subjects belong- ing to the occasion, connected as it is with the anniversary of our national independence. I must pass over, altogether, every thing that concerns the trade and business of our early days, - the manners, customs, dress, furniture, houses, style of living, of our early inhabitants ; even of their early uniform and steady love of popular liberty and free institutions.
I could state from our records the votes and proceedings, show- ing how we were gradually prepared for the bold measure of fourth of July, 1776, -how hearty and unanimous we were in our obedience to the measures recommended by our wise men, though injurious to our particular interests ; - such as the non- importation and non-consumption of articles before deemed nec- essaries of life ; - how we preferred to put off the citizen, and put on the soldier ;- how cheerfully we bore the dangers and hardships of the war, contracting heavy debts to raise men and supplies for the army.
If we were not foremost, there were none before us in our zeal for the early declaration and steady maintenance of the independ- ence of our country. And when, at the close of the contest, and under an unexampled pressure of burthens, others were heard to murmur and complain, we were among those who quietly and peaceably submitted to the rule of law. Instead of joining in the clamor for paper money and tender laws, we remonstrated against them.
All these things, and many more of the kind, are they not written in the books of our records? which, if time permitted,

I would gladly recite to you on this occasion. In what regards schools and education, we have at all times aimed, as in all things else, at the useful rather than the showy.
The public service of the day is now drawing to a close. We have spent the last hour sitting in judgment on our ancestors and predecessors, and we have found much to commend and little to condemn. I hope their shades now look down upon us and smile their approbation of the doings of the day. What will be the judgment of our posterity pronounced one hundred years hence upon us and our deeds ?
This meeting is now adjourned, to meet here fourth of July, 1938. If the progress of the future shall keep pace with the past, the meeting will then be holden in a temple, - I hope a Christian one,- more lofty and spacious than this, as much more as this exceeds the first Exeter church of twenty feet square. The glory of the second temple will, doubtless, exceed that of the first ; but the real greatness of a people depends little on the grandeur of their temples, or on the glory of external things, but on the culture of the mind, and the purity and graces of the heart.
We have this day passed the dividing line between ancestor and posterity, and must, henceforth, take our piaces with the people of the third century. Why then should not we rejoice, if the impartial judgment of the next centennial should award the prize of superior learning, more cultivated mind, and better taste in the fine arts, to the third century.
Let us, then, in this our new character, do all we can, that the superiority shall then be equally manifest in religion, virtue and moral worth.
