The two Hartford Conventions
WARREN, O.

The two Hartford Conventions"
On the 18th Of December, 1874, a Con-
vention met in Hartford, Connecticut, "to
devise means of security and defense
which may be consistent with the preser-
walton of their resources from total ruin,
and adapted 10 their local situation and
mutual relations and habits, and not re-
pugnant to tier obligation as .ssmJers qf tie
Union"
The prosecution ofthe war oflsl2 was oP.
posed by a large portion of the Peopie :,
New England, not however, from . ""n'
of patriotism and devotion TO the country
but because of the mmens disaster 1t
antaiIad on them, in the destruction OF
.bs;- commerce and fisheries, and be-
cause i. was regarded by many prominent
men as a mere party measure of the Re
publicans who were then in power. The
coast defences of New England were neg
lected by the Federal Government, and
the English were making sad havoc with
their shipping interests. Many points
were already occupied, and runners were
rife of aA invasion by a formidable force.
Under this state of things, the Hartford
convention was called. In general terms
the opponents of the administration were
called Federalists, but really the anti-war
party embraced many men who had be,
fore, and have since acted with each Of
the prominent political parties of the
country. The anti-war party was of q
sectional, rather than of a national char
acter. and numbered but few adherents
outside of Connecticut and Massachusetts
After a secret session of twenty days,
the convention adjourned, and reported
the result of their deliberations. This
manifesto was moderate in tone, and pa,
triotic in sentiment, expressing strong
affection for the Union" 1t claimed
however, that the Federal Government,
in the power which it assumed over the
militia, and in filing up the ranks OF the
army by CONSUMPTION, was uSurPlDG :
power not rightfully belonging to it, II
recommended TO the States which were
represented, the adoption Of such meas
ures as would protect their citizens from
the operations of-as they claimed, I'M
constitutional acts OF Congress
The Convention, of course, caused
much excitement throughout the country,
and especially in the Republican party
then in power. Major Jessap. = distin.
guished Kentucky officer, was sent with
a regiment OF troops to Hartford, but
latter the most careful investigation, thi.
officer reported 10 his superiors that there
was no reason to apprehend any treason
able action"
Such Is, in substance the action of the
Hartford Convention Of 1914, which fol-
forty-eight years has been execFatsd by
loyal men, and by none more thar by the
party then in power, which has since
been known as the Democratic party. IL
1920, so odious had become the Federal
party that it was completely disbanded
and Monroe received every electoral vote
except one. Since that time, no denun,
Citations has been too bitter, and no stigma
too severe, to be applied to participant
or descendants of participants in that
convention.
