Secession in New England. In 1747 the towns of Suffield, Somers, Enfield, and Woodstock, originally settled under Massachusetts grants, and assigned to that province in 1713, finding taxation there enhanced by its military operations, applied for annexation to Connecticut. They seemed to be clearly within the Connecticut charter. They asked permission of Massachusetts to withdraw. The request was refused. They then withdrew without the consent of Massachusetts, were annexed to Connecticut, and still remain part of that State. Massachusetts threatened an appeal to the King and council, but fearing she might, as in her controversy with New Hampshire, not only lose these towns, but other territory, nothing further was done. See Quincy, Josiah.

e sufficient to seal its destiny. Read it at your leisure, and, judging the Society out of its own mouth, let your verdict be given to the world! The result of these interviews was that Mr. Garrison Lib. 3.162, 170. brought back with him to this country the original of a Protest against British support of the American Colonization Society, already made public in England, and signed by Wilberforce, William Smith, Zachary Macaulay, William Evans, M. P., Samuel Gurney, George Stephen, Suffield, S. Lushington, M. P., Buxton, Cropper, William Allen, and Daniel O'Connell, M. P. The fate of this precious document is unknown. A facsimile of the signatures is given in Mrs. Child's Oasis, p. 64. They expressly rejected the claims of the Society to antislavery support as wholly groundless, and its profession of promoting the abolition of slavery as altogether delusive. The influence of Liberia on the slave trade would be limited to its petty territory. The only effectual deathblow

There is not an oddity in the coarse, uncouth dialect of the Deerslayer and Hurry Harry (The Deerslayer, 1841) that has not its root deep in the soil of the eighteenth and preceding centuries. An interesting list of vulgar errors may be found in Elliot and Johnson's A selected pronouncing and accented Dictionary, Suffield [Conn.], 1800, p. 16.

shire, England, where his parents were then temporarily residing. He was descended from an ancient and knightly family of Leventhorpe hall, Yorkshire, who settled in Hertfordshire during the reign of Richard II, and were created baronets by James I. One ancestor was an executor of Henry V, and another married Dorothy, sister of Jane Seymour, third wife of Henry VIII. General Leventhorpe derived his Christian name from his mother, Mary Collett, a descendant of a brother of the first lord of Suffield. He was educated at Winchester college, and at the age of seventeen was commissioned ensign in the Fourteenth regiment of foot, by William IV. He was promoted captain of grenadiers, served three years in Ireland, several years in the West Indies, and a year in Canada. In 1842 he disposed of his commission, returned to England, and thence came to the United States and settled in North Carolina, where his high character and many accomplishments soon made him popular and prominent In 1849
