were intended to arm the President with
p.- er to seize and send oCt of the country
i '
such foreigners aa became offensive to the
administration. Furthermore to punisn
any native citizen who 6hould harshly crit
irize tke General Government or its ope
rations.' It raised a storm ' of indignation
through the country. The Legislature of
Virginia and Kentucky passed their famous
resolutions and the Federalists hastened to
their downfall. Ia the early years of the
19lh century.; the imputation of holding
their opinions, became a stigma, and was
s fatal with political aspirants, as the
charge of abolitionism even thirty years
liter. - "--';
For the three last years of the eighteenth
century, Gen, Thomas Wjnne iuthe SenaU
Rotert Montgomery and James Jones in
the House, represented Hertford county.
During the two former years, Benjamin
Smith jof Brunswick presided in the Sen
ate Mussendine Mathews of Iredell couuty
iu the llouse. In the latter year, Gen.
Joseph Kiddick, for so lwug the Senator
from Gate, bt-came the speaker of that
body, and Stephen CabarrU3 again returned
to the "-chair of the Commons. William
Gaston of Craven and Lemuel Sawyer of
Gamdn, were seen for the first time in the
Legislature and commenced reputation,
which in Mr. Gaston's -cose was soon to be
coextensive with the limits of the nation.
Bertie in adi ion to the death of W. l
Dawson had recently lost along honored
citizen in John Johnson, the brother of the
distinguished man who lived in Chowan,
and was so higy valuvd throughout the
nation.; David Stone had been elected a
judge of the Supreme Court and George
Outlaw had succeeded to his influence in
the county. i
As the centur grcw to Its close, one by
one, the names that had been prominent in
the war, were blotted from our public reg
isters by that inevitable event, which
awaits us all. Gen. Robert Howe, after
years of seclutiou, died in; 1794 at his place
on the Cape Fear river, below Wllming
ton. William; Blount never returned to
the State after Gen. Washington appointed
him Governor of the Western territory.
Our State sustained a still greater loss, in
the death of Judge Iredell, at Edeuton, on
theSOlh of Oct., 1799. He had been for
ten 3'ears, an ornament to the Federal Su
preme Court, and no state ever adoptecTor
lost a nobler son. He was the most ac
complished North Carolina lawyer of his
day, and was the poul of honor anj patri
otism.
Alas! misfortunes never ' come j
singly! j Death too found the greatest and
best of men, in his retirement at M..unt
Vernon. We have lost Gen. Robert E.
Lec and can appreciate the grief of the
nation, w hen that great calamity was
known,! . :
Hertford sawjhe close of the century iu
the utmost peace and prosperity. ; It was
perhaps the golden ags of social enjoyment,
of the two races constituting our popula
tlon. The w ars-between Nipoleon and the
allied kings, gave our ships the carrying of
trade of the civilized' world. The couaty
at that clay, had not lost its commercial
character. The relations j of master and
servant wcru patriarchal - and mild. Even
at that period the Quakeis were abolition
ists, but showed no disposition to create
6trife in our midst by the enunciation of
thttir peculiar viws. The act3 of emanci
pation by Great Britain and the Northern
states were yet unaccomplished, and noth
ing had occuri ed to suggest hopes of free-'
dom to the Negro,-or to create jealousy in
the minds of the masters. The black peo
ple were in a great degree free and uu-!
tramolled. The strict and odious statutes,!
curtailing their privileges, were m.t then,
in existence. Tiiey participated largely in
the festivitie3 and social enjoyments of
their owners, and were free to conduct re
ligious meetings in their own wild and ab
surd manner. 'They preached tud shouted
and got ;iu trances to their hearts content,
and there was ho ono to molest or make
them afraid. Nat. Turner's insurrection,
and the frantic efforts of Abolutionists, de
stroyed this Ethiopian Elysium.
A meny and careless life was that of our
ancciers at the close of the eighteenth cen
nry ! Everybody in reach went to the wed
dings; and most men felt it the duty to
! drink a plenty of apple brandy at courts
and musters. Each gathering of a dozen
niea, sa w a quarter race or a game of cards.
Very often when toddies were abundant,
and the assemblage large, a champion with
a chip on his head, would dare any man
present to a combat with weapons of i.a
ture's making. It was doubt les very wicked
in those old fashioned people, and as a gen
eral thing there is no denying but what
they positively enjoyed the spectacle of an
occasional fisticuff. A fair fight" ; said
Jtiey "and no lawing about it afterwards, is
the part of a gentleman." .
Chapter XX,
Hertford county prj tlcipated In the general
Southern joy consequent upon the acces
sion of Thomas- Jeff etson to the Presidency
of the Nation. ; The Alien and Sedition
laws. tfee Jay treaty, and the general tone
of harshness and intolerance of opposition,'
whih marked the outgoing administration,
difgusled the Southern people. If the Re
publicans were! dominant in the North,
thy were ovenvhelminjr in the South.
Gov, Alex. Martin, by his supp,rt of JohD
Adams, lost ; the long fnjo'ed popularity,
hitherto marking his course, and was de
feated in 1799 for the United btaten Senate
by Jesse i Franklin of Surry. Timothy
Bluodworth, likewise in 1801 was succeed
ed by David Stone, of Bertie. In the
House of representatives, but two Federal
ists, William B. -Grove, of Cumbei land and
John Stanly, of Craven, were returned.
Natbamcl- Mjicpu, of Warren, Archibald
Henderson, of Tvowau, with Wi'lis Alston,
Richard Stanford, James Holland, R.4eii
VVilliauiF, William H. XI ill and -Thomas
Wynhswcre all of the Ttcpublican faith.
For the first time in her history Hertford
Ci uuty saw one of her citizens (n the -nat
ioniil Iegislatiue. He was elected to the
tew congress over 'Gcrl. Dempy Burgess,
of j Camden, , upon his supei ior . personal
popularity. They were both republicans
and favorable to the policy j and personal
claims of lhi new President, f -Coll Burgess
had been an officer in the. Revolution,
but was not poese&cd of qualities likely to
confer weight in the deliberations of n
parliamentary body. It is not known that
he ever spoke at all in the House, j
Robert Montgomery; succeeded the
f seat of Gen. Wynns m the Sena' e, and
continued U) occupy it Until the return of
the latter at the cicse of his Congressional
career,, James Jones and Abner Perry
were elected to the House of Commons. -This
"was the second appearance of Capt.
Perry, His gallant services in the war and
estimable qualities as a man rendered him
an established favoiite with the people.
The two houses organized on the loth, day
Hirk, of -Hates. r.d Stenhen Cabairus. of
Chowen, as Speakers j of their respective
houses. One of their first j acts was the
election of James Turner, cf Varrcn- a
the successor of Gov. "William0, of Moore,
to the position of Chief Magistrate of the
the State. ; . -. ,.r '.'"
This leirislature among its leading men,
contained Gabriel Holmes, of Sampson,
Duncan Cameron, of Orange.. Henry Sea
well, of Wake, Musseudme Mathews, of
Iredell, Joshua G. Wright, of New Hano
ver ind Georce Outlaw, of Bertie. Its first
statute was to carry into effect the contract
between the 6t ate and Phineas Miller arid
Eli Whitney, the patentees of the newly
invented 6aw-gin. North Carolina for a
consideration acqdired the right to control
the profits arising from the use of cotton
gins' in our borders. The benefits of this
arrangement were all on the side of the
patentees. A tax of two shijlings and six
pence was levied on each saw of the machine
us-ed each year and collected by the Sheriffs.
Tke State Tieasurer was required to pay
over the sum thus collected oti the fijst day
November, auuually to the patentees, their
heirs and reprcseMalivcs. j
The second statute re -arranged congres
sional ; districts. Perquimans, Chowan,
Carrituck, Camden, Gates, Pasquotank and
Hertford constituted the 1st, j and exactly
corresponded with the present terntoiical
limits of the 1st. Senatorial District of
North Garolina. The fourth statute was
entitled, "An act for the relief of the; Tus
crora nati n of Iudiacs." It recites the
chiefs, Scarusa and others authorized, re
quested the concurrence of the General As
sembly In certain leases of the residue of
their lands, so that the whole should ter
minate at t'-e same period and that after
the 12th. day of July 1816, the title to the
region now known as the Indian Wocds.
should revert to acd vest iu the St&tc zL
North Carolina. Gov. William Ii. Davie,
recently returnetl from his French mission,
was appointed by Mr. Jefferson to negotiate
with the whole Tuscaiora tribe.astojtheir a
grot ment wiih the Staie; a treaty was signed
under his auspices at Raleigh,; Dec. 4th. the
same year. Under the statute and treaty
the descendants bf Tom Blount and hib
braves, ninety-eight 5'ears after the creation
of their reservation, turned their backs upou
their ancient hunting grounds, and joined
their kinsmen in New York, j The surviv
ing Tuscaroias in that State, now live in
Niagara couuty, and their present chief is
ca'lcd Mount Pleasant. The jiving of the
Sandwich Isdands, is said to lie the grand
sou of Sacarusa. " i
In the same sessbn of the legislature we
find the first harsh statute against the Ne
groes. It-was for the purpose of discour
aging and suppressing insurrection among
the slaves. The whole of our pievious
legislation touching our African popalaiion
had beeu for their benefit, Cruel and neg
lectful masters had' been forced by law
to provide for the sick and helpless. For
the first time in onr history serious distur
bances in Hertford and Y ashingKn coun
ties called for the strong arm of the law in
their depression. It J does not appearj thai
any lives were lost ainongthe w hite people
but dangerous and unlaw tul i combinations
and aims" were discovered. The magistrates
and militia of Hertford soon Restored order.
The Legislature enacted that any insur
rection or conspiracy looking to the same,
among pei tons of color, shojald upon con
viction of the offenders, be punished w ith
death. But it was provided 'that in case a
large number should be found guUty under
this statute, It should be lawful for the
court iu which thej ; were prosecuted, in its
diBdetion, to commute the jjjunisnment ;of
some( by ordering them to be sold beyond
the limits of the State. j
Thus! brave men are ever merci ful. North
Carolina desired no Bloody Assize in her
borders. " This law expected and required
the capital punishment of ajiy ring-leaders
who should be couvicted in rthis alarminsr
and dangerous business, but- piovided for
mercy to the ignorant aud miguided follow
ers. Thirty years later the great horror of
Southampton massacre was perpetrated, but
iu the two centuries in which the colored
people of Hertford county wherein bondage
however, much, they may. have desired and
discussed the advantages, of j liberty, with
this tingle except ion,, they were ever obedi
ent. It is more than proble in the frequent
intercourse with the West Iiidies. the spirit
of San Domingo by some cnance was recom
mended to them. At all events,! persons
now living are witnesses that only alarm
and precaution were the Results, of; the
movements in 1802, aud to ihe credit aud
hapmues i of both races the whole matter
