of bulldog should be built. AT the
May session of the General Assembly,
1868, Allen Brown, William Smith and
David Harris were appointed building
committee. TO raise money, at the June
session of the Assembly lottery was
gr anted, and in February OF the follow
ing year another grant OF q lottery was
made toward purchasing the court house
lot. II isa tradition that the building
committee decided to erect q much small
Ter building than the present State
House In Providence, but thar the archi-
tcct designed the present structure,
which was much larger than WAS con-
templated. The difference in the size OF
the building was not discovered until
the work had SO far advanced that IL was
thought IL would cost less TO continue
ana start anew.
Ii is not unnatural that, In connection
with the present ceremony, l should re-
fer to a similar circ cumstance that occur
REQ in Providence 20 years ago. In 1875
the State of Rhode Island was erecting
one OF its most important public build-
ings. I'm that year the cornerstone was
laid OF the Providence county court
house. Then, as now, the ceremonies
incident to the occasion were conducted
by the Masonic fraternity. The State CT
Rhode Island was represented by It's Gov
ernor, Henry Lippitt. 1t lends ADDED
interest to my present duties In connec-
tion with the structure to be occupied
by the executive and by the legislative
power of the state TO recall that the
cornerstone of the building devoted TO
the supreme judicial power in these
plantations was laid in such circumstan-
ces.
These ceremonies, undoubtedly mark
that final change in the circumstances
OF the State which will center.its govern
ment in one place. The facilities re-
quired by toe executive, by the General
Assembly, and by the several depart
ments render 1t no longer possible'to
properly conduct the important matters
submitted to them by periodical meet
ings IN different parts OF the State.
Modern transportation makes it posi-
BILE to travel from one end of the State to
the other in less than two hours. The
historic associations with the old colony
house in Newport, and with the impor-
tant sessions OF the Legislature held
therein are matters Of the past.

influence was potent In securing IL and
engrafting upon 1t its most liberal and
unusual provisions.
Sir Henry Vane was OF noble family,
but a Puritan in heart and life. He
came to Massachusetts just at the time OF
Roger Williams Punishment. He came
from a sense OF duty, from q desire, as he
said, "to walk in good conscience toward
God and toward man, according TO the
best light and understanding God gave
me-" With such ideals Vsne sympa
thized with Williams, and became his
tirm friend. Soon after Sir Henry Vane's
arrival he was chosen Governor OF Massa-
chusetts, and as Governor, and In his pri-
vate capacity, he showed his friendship
for Roger Williams.
That they were very near to each other
is shown by. what. Roger Williams wrote
many years after, concerning tho pur-
chase of the Island of Rhode Island. He
says: "It was no price nor money that
could have purchased the island. Rhode
Island was obtained by love, by the love
and favor which that honorable gentle
man, Sir Henry Vane AMI myself had
with the great Sachem, Miantonorni." Af-
ter Vane returned to England Roger Will
liams was guest at his house while seek
ing to obtain the first charter. The in
fiuence OF Vane was that time very pow
erful in the Long Parliament, and 1t Is
undoubtedly to that influence tnat Roger
Williams owed bis success. The charter
of 1863 followed the liberal provisions or
1643, and recognized in express terms the
desire of the inhabitants OF this colony,
'to hold forth lively experiment that
a most flouriahing civil State may stand
and best be maintained with a full liber-
ty in religious concernments." Vane, by
his powerful ala in securing the first char

cess.
From the records of the General A ssem-
ply, in March, 1881, II appears that ''rhs
|! State House In Newport was used as a
barrack by the enemy, during the time
they were In possession of the Island of
Rhode Island, whereby the same was so
much injured that this assembly cannot
be accommodated therein. etc., etc. IL Is,
therefore, resolved that the sheriff place
benches I'm the synagogue as will accom-
modate the members OF this assembly,
ana that he purchase two tables and "
chairs for the use aforesaid" In May OF
this year the general election was held at
Newport ia the synagogue. During the
French occustion in 1880 the State House
was used as a hospital. The landing OF
the sick occupied four days, and 900 were
placed in the different hospitals In New
port. Al the end OF the war the State
House was In deplorable condition. 1t
was shortly after, however, thoroughly
restored In harmony with IT original de-
sign. Within comparatively modern
times, the chamber used by the House of
Representatives was so changed as TO de-
stroy some OF it's interesting features
The Senate chamber, however, remains
essentially as 1t was originally designed.
On the west side of the building, from
the second story, opening out OF the
House of Representatives chamber,
stone balcony pro ects from the building
overlooking the parade. From this his
toric place proclamation has been made
of important events connected with the
colony and the State. In 1851 the death
OF George III % England was announced
from this spot. 1t was followed by the
proclamation of George III as King of
Great Britain. A public dinner was then
served in the council chamber. In more
modern times the annual election OF the
Governor and State officers has been pro-
claimed from this balcony. The State
House itself has been the scene
of many historic events. In 1865
ths anniversary Of the birth
day OF King George III was observed as
an occasion for celebrating the repeal of

the Stamp Act. The people assem- blcd a.
the State House to testify their gratifica-
tion. In 1869 the merchants Of Newport
met therein and formed an agreement
Of non-intercourse, so long as the act OF
imposing DUTY on paper, etc., remsined
in force. In 1773 the Gaspee commission
there Assem- bled, and for period OF
nearly six months engaged in a fruitless
effort to discover the actors in the de-
struction of the Gaspee. Therein on the
fourth OF May, J776, tte colony OF Rhode
Island formally passed the act renounc-
ing it's allegiance TO the crown Of Great
Britain and asserting its independence,
two months before the general Declara-
tion OF Independence at Philadelphia on
July 4. On the Goth OF July, l776, from
the steps OF the old State House Major
John Handy read the Declaration of In
dependence. Fifty years later, on July
4, 1926, he again reso 1t from the same
steps. 10 1890 the convention, which
finally adopted the constitution and
made Rhode Island one OF the United
States, convened therein. The great con-
course of people that had come together
TO hear the debate proved too great to
find accommodation within Its walls.
The meeting was adjourned to the Second
Baptist Church, where, after session
OF three days, the question was carried
in ssthe affirmative by a majority OF two
votes. At different times Presidents
Washington, Adams, Jackson, Fillmore,
Grant, Hayes, and Harrison have been
entertained within It's historic walls. In
1913, the people there met TO welcome
Commodore Perry on his return from
Lake Erie. In 1914 II wss the place Of
trial Of Thomas w. Dorr. For genera
tions the old state House in Newport has
been the rallying point of the people of
the south part of the state.
Proceedings that inally resulted in the
erection OF a colony house at Providence
began in 1729. The freemen OF the town
OF Providence voted to assist in the eroc-
tion OF the house II they could have the
use OF II for town meetings, and the di
rection as to it's site, prescribing also
that the building should be 40 feet by 80
on the ground and is feet posts, with
a chimney from the chamber floor. This
building was probably completed in 1881,
but not until after the April town meet
ing, which the records indicate was
held in the Friends meeting house.

ligious Liberty was, therefore, one at
least, of the reasons for his Punishment.
Holding these views he could not remain
In Massachusetts,. Rather than return to
+ England, he went 10 rth into the wilder
ness.
We find him in the following spring
on the banks of the Seekonk River. But
he was warned that he was still within
the jurisdiction of Plymouth. He accord
ingly set out in bis boat, and, as we have
seen, made the settlement at Mooshas-
sue. From that small beginning has
grown this great and prosperous city.
Just across the valley yonder, on Meet
ing street, where the publ schoolhousc
now stands, was erected the first court
house, or "colony house." Thi. was not
completed uYtil 1881. For nearly CEN
tury the affairs of the little common
wealth had not required the building
of O house. Roger w illiams bad pur-
chased of the natives a large tract of land
at the very beginning of the settlement,
and this purchase was cofirmed by deed
from the Sachems Canonicus ana Man
tonomi in 1899. Roger Williams admitted
to joint ownerhip in this land twelve OF
his companions, and they agreed among
themselves that they would yield oDedi-
ence to the government of the major part
"only in civil things." "Only In civil
thiugs"-with these simple words there
appears for the. .tirst time in history CIV
II government founded upon religious
liberty. The great idea of freedom of con-
science then took shape and form. Bound
together with this great idea was the
democratic idea of government by the
"major part" The two ideas grew and
expanded together. They are the funda-
mental ideas of our State. They are the
foundat ion upon which we build today.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1896-10-15

other reasons there may have been, 1t Is
fact that Roger Williams persisted Ia
declaring that the power OF the magis-
trate did not extend to matters OF reiig-
ious concernmeut, and that the magis-
trate had no power to punish for breach
OF the first four commandments, known
as the first table OF the law. He was i've
times summoned before the General
Court In Massachusetts, questioned on
these matters. and his teaching was de-

This was a most unusual provision. The
fact that 1t was em bouied In the charter
OF 1868 is without doubt due to its pres

patent was obtained by the direct solici-
