HISTORICAL  SUMMARY  OP  NEW-HAMPSHIRE. 

Lat.  N.  42°  41'  and  45°  11', )  Area  (  Length,  N.  and  S.,  168  miles, 

and  1 9,280  {  and 

Long.W.70(540,and72,}28,  )  sq.  m.  ( Width,  E.  &W.,20to90miles. 

In  1622,  Mason  and  Gorges  jointly  had  a  grant  of  the  land  from 
Merrimack  river  to  the  Kennebec  river,  and  in  1623,  the  first  settle- 
ments were  commenced  at  Portsmouth  and  at  Dover.  In  1629  the 
grant  was  divided,  and  a  separate  grant  was  made  to  Mason  of  that 
part  west  of  the  Piscataqua  river,  called  New-Hampshire,  and  to 
Gorges  of  the  part  east  of  the  Piscataqua,  called  Maine.  In  1641  Mas- 
sachusetts extended  her  jurisdiction  over  New-Hampshire  and  main- 
tained her  authority  there  till  1679,  when  the  case  being  brought  be- 
I  fore  the  highest  Court  of  Appeal  in  England  on  Provincial  matters,  it 
was  decided  that  the  claim  of  Massachusetts  was  illegal,  and  New- 
Hampshire  was  constituted  a  separate  province.  In  1686,  the  char- 
ter of  Massachusetts  having  been  annulled,  New-Hampshire,  Maine, 
Massachusetts  and  Narragansett  were  united  in  one  Eoyal  Province, 
under  President  Dudley,  and  afterward  under  Governor  Andros. 
In  1689,  upon  news  of  the  revolution  in  England,  the  Government 
of  Andros  was  overturned,  and  Massachusetts  assumed  her  old 
charter.  Some  of  the  people  of  New-Hampshire  petitioned  Massa- 
chusetts to  be  received  under  her  government  and  protection  till 
orders  should  come  from  England,  to  which  Massachusetts  assented, 
and  exercised  a  merely  nominal  authority  there.  In  1692,  the  j 
province  of  New-Hampshire  was  re-established,  and  ever  atter  re- 
mained a  separate  province.  In  some  cases  the  same  person  was 
Governor  of  New-Hampshire  and  Massachusetts,  but  the  govern- 
ments were  not  connected.  The  legislatures,  laws,  courts  and  offi- 
cers, civil  and  military,  were  entirely  distinct.  The  line  between 
the  provinces  remained  in  dispute  till  1741,  when  it  was  finally  I 
settled,  as  it  now  remains.

Note.  The  Lt.  Governors,  after  1741,  are  not  known  to  have 
acted  as  chief  magistrates,  the  Governors  being  residents  of  the I 
province.  Before  that,  when  the  Governor  was  resident  in  Massa- 
chusetts, the  Lt.  Governors  claimed  to  be  chief  magistrates,  and 
often  acted  as  such  when  the  Governor  was  out  of  the  province.

RIGHTS    AND    QUALIFICATIONS    OF   VOTERS.     41 


The  Governor  is  chosen  annually,  by  a  majority  of  votes;  or, in 
case  of  no  choice  by  the  people,  the  General  Court,  in  joint  bal- 
lot, elects  one  of  the  two  persons  having  the  highest  number  of 
votes.  The  qualifications  for  Governor  are  the  same  as  for  Sena- 
tors. In  case  of  the  death  or  disability  of  the  Governor,  the 
office  is  filled  by  the  President  of  the  Senate.  The  Council 
consists  of  five  Councillors,  elected  annually,  for  advising  the 
Governor  in  the  executive  part  of  government.  The  qualifica- 
tions for  Councilors  are  the  same  as  for  Senators,  and  vacancies 
are  filled  as  in  the  Senate.  The  Governor  convenes  the  Council, 
and  their  resolutions  and  advice  are  recorded  in  a  register,  and 
signed  by  those  agreeing  thereto.  The  Governor  and  Council 
nominate  and  appoint  all  judicial  officers,  the  attorney-general, 
and  solicitors,  sheriffs,  coroners,  registers  of  probate,  and  general 
field  officers  of  militia.  The  Governor  and  Council  have  a  negative 
on  each  other,  both  in  the  nominations  and  appointments.  The 
administrative  officers  of  the  State  are :  Secretary, Treasurer,  Audi- 
i  tor  of  Accounts,  and  Commissary-General,  who  are  chosen  by  joint 
i  ballot  of  the  General  Court.  County  treasurers,  registers  of  deeds 
and  commissioners,  are  elected  by  the  voters  in  the  several  counties.

UNITED  STATES  OF  AMERICA. 

Historical  Facts  connected  with  the  formation  of  the  original; 
Union,  and  the  admission  of  new  States. 
On  Monday,  September  5,  1774,  a  number  of  men  were  assem- 
bled at  Carpenter's  Hall,  Philadelphia,  who  had  been  chosen  by 
the  several  Colonies,  in  what  now  constitutes  the  United  States, 
to  hold  a  Congress  lor  the  purpose  of  discussing  certain  grievances ! 
imputed  to  the  mother  country.  This  Congress  resolved  that; 
each  colony  should  have  one  vote  only.  On  Tuesday,  July  2,! 
1776.  the  Congress  resolved  "That  these  United  Colonies  are,  and 
of  right  ought  to  be,  Free  and  Independent  States, :'  etc.;  and  on ; 
Thursday,  July  4,  the  whole  Declaration  of  Independence  having | 
been  agreed  upon,  was  publicly  read  to  the  people.  On  Septem- 
ber 9  it  was  resolved  that  the  words  "United  Colonies"  should! 
no  longer  be  used,  and  that  "  United  States"  should  tbencefor-j 
ward  be  the  style  and  title  of  the  Union.  On  Saturday.  Novem-, 
her  15, 1777,  "  Articles  of  Confederation  and  Perpetual  Union  of  j 
the  United  States  of  America"  were  agreed  to  by  the  State  Dele-: 
gates,  subject  to  the  ratification  of  the  several  State  Legislatures.; 
Eight  of  the  States  ratified  these  articles  July  9,1778;  one  July; 
21;  one  July  24;  one  November  26;  one  February  22,1779;  and 
the  last  one  March  1, 1781.

On  the  4th  of  March,  1789,  the  present  Constitution,  which  had 
been  adopted  by  a  convention  and  ratified  by  the  requisite  num- 
ber of  States,  went  into  operation.  The  several  State  Legishv 
tures  ratified  this  instrument  at  the  following  dates:

26, 1788;  North-Carolina,  November  21,  1789;  Rhode-Island,  May 
29, 1790. 

The  privilege  of  becoming  members  of  the  Union  by  ratifying 
the  Constitution  was  confined  to  those  States  that  were  parties  to 
the  confederation  by  which  the  Constitution  had  been  framed. 
The  Constitution  was  adopted  by  the  Convention,  September  17, 

1787.  It  required  that  nine  States  should  ratify  it  before  its  pro- 
visions could  go  into  effect.    Congress,  on  the  13th  of  September, 

1788,  determined  that  as  a  sufficient  number  of  States  had  ratified 
it— eleven  having  done  so— it  should  become  operative  on  the 
first  Wednesday  (the  4th)  of  March,  1789.  North-Carolina  and 
Rhode-Island  had  not  yet  sanctioned  it;  but  as  soon  as  they 
acceded  to  its  provisions,  they  were  admitted  to  its  privileges. 

Twenty-four   States  have  been  admitted  into  the  Union  since 
the  confederation  of  the  original  thirteen  colonies:

Representatives,  and  must  assemble  once  every  year,  on  the  first

HOUSE   OF    REPRESEXTATIVES. 

The  House  of  Representatives  is  composed  of  members  from  the 
several  States,  elected  by  the  people,  in  separate  districts  com- 
posed of  contiguous  territory,  for  the  term  of  two  years.  The 
Representatives  are  apportioned  among  the  different  States  accord- 
ing to  population.  After  each  decennial  enumeration,  the  aggre- 
gate representatiTe  population  of  the  United  States  is  ascertained 
by  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior.  By  the  law  of  May,  1850,  the 
principle  was  first  established  of  permanently  limiting  the  number 
of  representatives,  and  relieving  the  country  and  Congress  from, 
the  necessity  of  fixing,  every  ten  years,  the  number  of  members' 
whereof  the  House  should  be  composed.  The  law  establishes  the 
number  of  representatives  under  each  census  at  two  hundred  and 
thirty-three,  who  are  apportioned  among  the  several  States  res- 
pectively, by  dividing  the  number  of  the  free  population  of  the 
States,  to  which,  in  slaveholding  States,  three  fifths  of  the  slaves 
is  added,  by  the  number  two  hundred  and  thirty-three,  and  the 
product  of  such  division  (rejecting  all  fractions  of  a  unit)  being 
the  ratio  of  representation  of  the  several  states.  But  as  the  num- 
ber and  amount  of  the  fractions  among  so  many  dividends  would, 
of  course,  in  the  aggregate  be  sufficient  to  reduce  the  number  of 
representatives  below  the  number  specified,  it  was  provided  that 
the  whole  number  should  be  supplied  by  assigning  to  so  many 
States  having  the  largest  fractions  an  additional  member  each  for 
its  fraction,  until  the  total  number  of  two  hundred  and  thirty- 
three  members  should  be  assigned  to  the  several  States.  In  pur- 
suance with  law,  the  appointment  was  made  and  proclaimed  on 
the  fifth  day  of  July,  1861,  distributing  the  representation  in  the 
thirty-eighth  Congress  among  the  several  States,  according  to 
their  federal  population,  as  follows:  Alabama  6;  Arkansas  3; 
California3;  Connecticut  4;  Delaware  1;  Florida  1;  Georgia  7; 
Illinoisl3;  Indianall;  Iowa5;  Kansas  1;  Kentucky  8;  Louisiana 

j  5;  Maine  5;  Maryland  5;  Massachusetts  10;  Michigan  6;  Minne- 
sota 1;  Mississippi  5;  Missouri  9;  New-Hampshire  3;  New-Jersey 
5;  New- York  31;  North-Carolina  7;  Ohio  18;  Oregon  1;  Pennsyl- 
vania 23;  Rhode-Island  1;  South-Carolina  4;  Tennessee  8;  Texas 
4;  Vermont  2;  Virginia  11;  AVisconsin  6. 

■  The  arrangement  of  representatives  for  the  38th  Congress  under 
the  law  of  May  23, 1S50,  was  changed,  subsequent  to  the  appor- 

I  tionment  by  the  law  of  March  4, 1862,  which  increased  the  number 
of  representatives  to  241,  by  giving  oneadditional  to  the  States  of 
Illinois,  Iowa,  Kentucky,  Minnesota.  Ohio,  Pennsylvania,  Rhode- 
Island  and  Vermont.  This  act  makes  the  number  of  representa- 
tives 241  from  and  after  the  3d  of  March  1863.    It  is  understood 

I  that  the  bill  as  originally  passed  by  the  House  added  6  to  the  233 
representatives  theretofore  provided,  and  added  these  to  States 
having  unrepresented  fractions  on  the  apportionment  of  July  5, 
1861,  whenever  the  addition  of  a  representative  to  any  State 
would  bring  the  representative  constituencies  of  that  State  nearer 
to  the  ratio  of  representation,  ascertained  according  to  the  act  of 
May  23,  1850,  than  they  would  be  on  the  apportionment;  and  the! 
effect  was  to  make  the  constituencies  in  every  state  approximate) 
nearest  to  the  ratio.    As  the  ratio  is  the  law  of  absolute  equality,  it 


REPRESENTATIVES.  211 


was  claimed  that  this  rule  of  apportionment  approaches  in  the 
nearest  practicable  degree  to  equality  among  the  States  according 
to  their  respective  representative  populations.  It  appeared  subse- 
quently that,  by  assuming  239  as  the  number  from  which  to  deduce 
the  ratio  of  representation,  two  states  only  would  be  entitled  to 
an  additional  representative  on  the  above  rule,  and  the  bill  was 
amended  accordingly  by  the  Senate  and  concurred  in  by  the 
House;  so,  in  fact,  the  ratio  for  the  next  decade  is  on  the  basis  of 
239  representatives,  with  two  added  to  equalize  representa- 
tion among  the  several  states.  If,  after  the  apportionment, 
new  States  are  admitted,  Representatives  are  assigned  to  such 
States  upon  the  above  basis,  in  addition  to  the  limited  num- 
ber of  241;  but  such  excess  continues  only  until  the  next  appor- 
tionment under  the  succeeding  census.  The  present  number  of 
Representatives  is  243.  There  are,  beside,  Delegates,  one  each 
from  Arizona,  Dakota,  Idaho,  Montana,  Colorado,  New-Mexico, 
Utah,  Washington  and  Wyoming,  who  have  a  right  to  speak,  but 
not  to  vote. 

The  compensation  of  members  is  mileage  (being  88  for  every 
twenty  miles  of  travel  in  the  usual  road,  in  going  to  and  returning 
from  the  seat  of  government),  and  S10,000  for  each  Congress. 

The  ratio  of  Representation,  by  the  census  of  1860,  is  126, S23. 

The  House  of  Representatives  chooses  its  Speaker,  and  other  | 
|  officers.    The  following  named  Representatives  have  been  elected

Believe  there  is  no  Printing  Office  in  New-England  better  adapted 
to  the  purposes  of  the  art,  or  more  fully  designed  to  meet,  in  every 
respect,  the  needs  of  the  community  in  which  it  is  located. 
With  increased  resources,  they  hope  to  add  to  their  list  of  business 
friends.  Customers  are  assured  that  orders  sent  by  mail,  express, 
or  otherwise,  will  be  fulfilled  with  neatness  and  promptitude, 
and  no  exertions  will  be  remitted  to  maintain  that  reputation 
for  accuracy  and  careful  proof-reading  which  has  been  one  of  the 
excellencies  of  this  long-established  concern.
