The whole affair was admirably managed by the officers in command, and the troops, not excepting the militia, exhibited the courage and endurance of vet- eran soldiers. The whole fleet soon after sailed from the Chesapeake southward, and Baltimore escaped the ruin and desolation sutfered by the neighboring city of Washington. The defenders of Baltimore have always been honored by their countrymen, and their memories are held in grateful remembrance to this day. The New England coast was the constant scene of depredations, being more defenseless than that of the Middle States; and, at the same time, operations could be carried on against it with facility, because of its proximity to the Canadian base of sup- plies. The extreme South was selected as the next point of attack, and to this point all efforts were di- rected. The Spanish authorities at Pensacola, who had encouraged the Indians in their hostilities since the commencement of the war, now afforded the same encouragement to the English. The ships-of-war were invited to anchor under their forts, storage was fur- nished for their munitions of war, and English troops encamped in and occupied their fortifications. A profitable trade was opened with New Orleans, and the people were invited by Colonel Nicholls, in a published address, to unite with the English in ex- pelling the Americans from the South. To this new field of peril General Andrew Jackson was assigned to duty. This officer promptly concentrated all his avail- able troops, having been duly apprised of the intended attack upon New Orleans by the British, who were largely reinforced by General Packenham, then con- centrating bis forces at Bermuda and Jamaica pre- paratory to the occupation of the mouth of the Mis- sissippi River.

The enemy were confident in their ability to estab- lish themselves in Louisiana. In their preparations

they provided themselves with printing-presses, and brought with them experienced merchants and traders, who were furnished with capital to establish houses for the purchase and shipment of cotton and supplies produced in the great Mississippi Valley. While this great campaign was in progress in the South, opposi- tion to the measures of the administration were grow- ing more intense upon the part ot the leading Feder- ists throughout the Middle and New England States. The opposition focalized in the Hartford Convention, which assembled December 15, 1814,1 and continued in session for three weeks. Its members sat with closed doors. The administration was at all times anxious to conclude an honorable peace, and commis- sioners were kept in Europe duly authorized to nego- tiate a treaty consistent with the preservation of the rights of American citizens. The pacification of Europe, resulting from the overthrow of Napoleon in 1814, and the joy that pervaded all classes of the people, were shared by the rulers, and had a happy influence upon England in inducing that country to relinquish the right of impressment of American citi- zens. This point gained, the object of the war was practically accomplished, and the commissioners con- eluded a treaty of peace at Ghent on the 24th day of December, 1814, the same being ratified by the Prince Regent of England on December 27th. The news of this event did not reach this country until the following 11th of February (1815), the treaty being ratified on the 27th of the same month by the President and Senate. It will thus be seen that the great battle of New Orleans, that made General Jackson the hero of the war, was fought and won after the treaty of peace had been coneluded with England. Truly, an Atlantic cable and telegraphiecommunication with the British army and navy in the Gulf at this time would have saved that nation from the humiliation of the most disastrous battle of the war, and thousands of lives would have been preserved for the better service of peace.

The population of Montgomery County at this period of the war was about thirty thousand. The constant apprehension of the enemy's attack upon Philadel- phia,2 and possible incursions into this and the adjoin-

ing counties of Delaware and Bucks, kept the people in a state of anxiety. Discussions in political and social circles upou the principles involved in the strug- gle were auimated. Democrats warmly espoused the cause as maintained by the administation of James Madison, while the Federalists boldly criticised many of the leading measures of those in authority, and the manner of conducting the war. The Democrats evinced considerable sympathy towards Napoleon, and looked upon his operations against England at that time with favor. On the other hand, the Federalists proclaimed the French Emperor an adventurer, tyrant and a leader dangerous to all forms of government and the peace and stability of society.

The stage was the only means of public travel in those days, only two weekly papers were published in the county, mail facilities were limited, and news from the capital and the remote points of active hostilities found its way to the country post-office with its weekly newspaper once, and, in some favored localities, twice a week. Volunteer and militia troops, organized in the interior and northern counties of the State, and ordered to report at Marcus Hook, passed down our main highways to Philadelphia, followed by long trains of supplies and munitions of war. The same iron-works on the Manatawny and Schuylkill that supplied the American army during the Revolution were busily employed from 1812 to 1815 in furnishing supplies of common shot and shell, while powder mills and establishments for the manufacture and repair of small-arms were operated at many places in the county.

Some few persons are still living who were eye- witnesses to the movements of troops going to and returning from camp at Marcus Hook. The troops spoken of appear to have been militia, dressed in home-spun clothing, and officered by men who seemed to exercise but a limited control while in the line of march. The "stragglers," or that class of men who habitually " fall out by the way," are vividly recalled by an aged friend, who, then a girl twelve years old, lived near the Perkiomen bridge. She says her father, a miller, fed scores while passing, and that sick, bare-footed and weary soldiers were slowly pass-

"ILLARISAUNG, August 27, 1814.

"To N. B. BOILEAU, Aid-de-Camp : The recent destruction of the capi- tal of the United States, the threatened and probable conflagration of the metropolis of sister States, and the general threatening aspect of affairs warranting the opinion that an attack is meditated by the enemy on the shores of the Delaware, the Governor, to guard against surprise, and to have ready an efficient force of freemen to repel the enemy in case of such an event, orders and directs that the militia generally within the counties of Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware, Chester, Lan- caster, Danphin, Lebanon, Berks, Schuylkill, Lehigh, Northampton and Pike (in addition to those drafted and designated for the service of the United States, under orders of the 22d of July who are already subject to the orders of General Bloomfield) be held in readiness to march, at a

moment's warning, to such place as may be named in subsequent ordere that will issue, if the exigencies of our country shall require The sev- eral Brigade Inspectors, within their respective bounds, are commanded to execute promptly this order. The Generals and other officers are urged to assist in the providing of equipments for the men. Those for whom arms cannot be found within the respective brigade bounds will, it is pre- sumed, he furnished by the United States at the place of rendezvous. It is confidently expected that the ardor and love of country which pervade the hearts of l'ennsylvanians, at the present alarming crisis, will induce many to form themselves into volunteer corps, and immediately to march for Philadelphia. It is thus a proper spirit, to resist an intolerant foe, will be evinced and many difficulties obviated. The Governor promises himself the satisfaction of meeting there an host nerved with resolution to live free or die in defense of their liberties and their country. Ile will act with them in any capacity for which his talents shall fit him.
