permit all persons of whatever religion freedom
to worship; and find in I6o5 synagogue ION
the north side of Mi-st., thoroughfare no longer
in existence) which may have been built as
early 1901, for Cadillac enumerates lin his
history of New-York in 1000 the Jews as one
of the seets, and then adds that each had it's
church.
The prohibition against the Jews going into retail
trade, Dutch law which somehow remained op-
erative under English law gradually dropped
for the records show Jews engaged in retail trade
in the early part of the eighteenth century One of
the great merchants of this period (about 1868 to
1900 was Hayman Levy who traded with the
Indians, and historian of that day claims that he
was actually worshiped by the Redman." John
Jacob Aston acquired his first experience in the
fur trade while in this traders employment. Upon
Hayman Levys books are entries of money paid to
John Jacob Astor for beating furs at one dollar
a day. Nicholas Low, ancestor of Seth Low,
Levy's clerk for several years. and then
laid the foundation of his great fortune in hogs
head of rum purchased from his former employer,
who on many other occasions gave him substantial
assistance.
On question concerning the contested seat of
Colonel Frederick Phillips of Westchester County,
the General Assembly of New-York September e.
1887, resolved that Jews neither could vote for
representatives nor be admitted as witnesses. The
Jews Of New-York were not footing of polit-
ical equality with Christians prior to the Revolution
York, adopted in 1777, they put absolute
equality with all other citizens
New-York thus the first State to actually
grant full religious liberty. Bancroft has referred
to Maryland among the first Colonies which
adopted religious freedom as the basis of the State
But its religious freedom was limited to those
within the Province who believed in Jesus Christ,
and was accompanied by proviso which declared
that any person who denied the Trinity should be
punished with death. Maryland therefore was no
place for the Jew. Even after the Revolution,
though under the Constitution of the United States
Jew was eligible to any Office no one could hold
any office under the government of Maryland with
out signing declaration that he believed in the
Christian religion. This disability removed
until February 26, 1925, when the Legislature
finally passed the bill according to the Jew his full
civil rights.
From the period of the riot directed against
Jew and his wife" in I74o, to the Revolution,
according to Governor Clinton's report to London,
there was little increase in the Jewish population in
New-4ork. few additions were made by irnmi-
grafton from England, but not sufficient to counter
act the emigration to Charleston Philadelphia, and
especially to Newport. Attracted by the tolerance
of Roger Williams, a fugitive himself from per-

simson and Jacob Aboaf who arrived November O.
1854 in the ship Pear Tree. They were followed in
the same year by party of twenty three who ar
rived from Brazil in the bark St. Catarina Brazil,
it appears that part of America first inhabited
by large number of Jews; but many abandoned
their homes when the Dutch evacuated that country
and in all possible haste sought the shelter of
other Dutch colony Upon arrival their goods
were seized and sold at public auction for the pay
ment of their passage and the amount realized by
the sale being insufficient the master of the vessel
applied to the court for order that two of the
new arrivals principals be held hostages until
the full amount paid. Accordingly David
Israel and Moses Ambrosius placed under
civil arrest, pending payment in accordance with
the debtors law of that day.
The following spring other Jews arrived and as the
expulsion of the Jews from Brazil increased the Jewish
population in New-York this gave ground for the
belief that their number would grow enormously.
At this juncture the Governor, Peter Stuyvesant
requested the directors of the West India Company
in Amsterdam to decree that none of the Jewish
nation be permitted to nfest the New Netherlands.
The worthy of tolerant Holland: that
his request inconsistent with reason and
Justice
Incensed at Stuyvesants assumption of au-
thority, act passed permitting the Jews
to reside and trade in Observation-Disclosures 80 long
as they5care for their poor" If those old
burghers could how well the Jews kept this
promise, they would open their eyes in surprise at
ering every conceivable of need and suffering
which testify to the Unborn kindness of the He
brews heart. The Jews of New-York alone for
their twelve leading charities are now contributing
upward Of one million dollars year.
~
In 1856 a Jew named D'Andrade was denied the
privilege of holding real estate. In the same year
the Governor through the council, which he abso-
lutely controlled, refused permission to prepare a
burial ground for the Jews. few months later
this decision was revoked.
An interesting example of the 'good old times"
is the fact that the Pilgrim Fathers appealed in
vain to the Dutch Government for permission to
settle in its American domain before the Plymouth
settlement was made. In 1904 New-Amsterdam
captured by the English, and it's name changed
to New-York in honor of the Duke of York The
charter of liberties and privileges adopted by the
Colonial Assembly in 1858 extended religious free
dom to all but Jews, and the Mayor and the Com
mon Council Of New-York in 1855, considering the
Jews petition for liberty exercise their religion
referred to them by Governor Dongan, decided that
no public worship is tolerated by act of
bly,, but to those that profess faith in Christ, and

announced the edict which drove three
hundred thousand Jews from the land of their

forced upon them, these monarchs also signed the
articles of agreement that authorized Columbus to
go forth in search of another world, where in the
words of CASTELAR,, Creation should be newborn,

to provide Columbus with funds. 1t is supposed
generally by such specialists on Columbus as
Kayserling Harisse and Winsor that she already
had pawned sold them to defray the expenses
of the wars then devastating her country.
The maps which Columbus used were drawn UP

Arrangements have been completed for the cele-
bration early fall of the two hundred and ftieth
anniversary of the establishment in New York city
of the first settlement of Jews in this country.
There seems to be evidence that Jews (soldiers and
sailors) reached New-Amsterdam, as New-York

sent here by the directors of the West India Com
