Title
A name given to the resource
First American West, 1750-1820
Description
An account of the resource
Drawing from many historical collections at the Filson Historical Society, First American West incorporates maps, diaries, letters, ledgers, and objects. The collection documents the travels of the first Europeans to enter the trans-Appalachian West, the maps tracing their explorations, their relations with Native Americans, and their theories about the region's mounds and other ancient earthworks. Naturalists and other scientists describe Western bird life and bones of prehistoric animals. Books and letters document the new settlers' migration and acquisition of land, navigation down the Ohio River, planting of crops, and trade in tobacco, horses, and whiskey.<br /><br />The First American West: The Ohio River Valley, 1750-1820 consists of 15,000 pages of original historical material documenting the land, peoples, exploration, and transformation of the trans-Appalachian West from the mid-eighteenth to the early nineteenth century.

Description
An account of the resource
Drawing from many historical collections at the Filson Historical Society, First American West incorporates maps, diaries, letters, ledgers, and objects. The collection documents the travels of the first Europeans to enter the trans-Appalachian West, the maps tracing their explorations, their relations with Native Americans, and their theories about the region's mounds and other ancient earthworks. Naturalists and other scientists describe Western bird life and bones of prehistoric animals. Books and letters document the new settlers' migration and acquisition of land, navigation down the Ohio River, planting of crops, and trade in tobacco, horses, and whiskey.<br /><br />The First American West: The Ohio River Valley, 1750-1820 consists of 15,000 pages of original historical material documenting the land, peoples, exploration, and transformation of the trans-Appalachian West from the mid-eighteenth to the early nineteenth century.

REPORT,
ON THE TRANSYLVANIA UNIVERSITY, AND LUNATIC ASYLUM.
MR NEW, from the joint committee appointed to visit the Tran-
sylvania University, and the Lunatic Asylum at Lexington,
made the following reports :
The joint committee appointed to examine the state and condi-
tion of Transylvania University, have discharged the duty assign-
ed, and beg leave respectfully to submit the following report :
The recess from Legislation, afforded the committee and ear-
ly opportunity of repairing to Lexington, and of making those
inquiries, and that examination which were deemed of greatest
interest to the state.
The report of the trustees, marked (K) and the references to
the several sub reports, upon which that is founded, constitute
the principal sources of information which were offered to your
Committee, and furnish more ample satisfaction, than could re-
sult from an abstract. They are therefore submitted in extenso.
The documants are so full and complete in detail, that little re-
mains to be said, except that vouchers were exhibited in support
of the various items of account manidesting the receipts and
disbursements of the institution.
Since the report to the last legislature, there has occurred a
diminution in the number of Students in the University, but not
such as necessarily indicates any decline in public confidence.
The report of President Holly. indicates an extensive range
of well selected studies, and such as must generally meet the ap-
probation of an enlightened community.
The advantages resulting from college exercises, always
more immediately depend upon the Student, though skill in pro-
fessors, and well arranged and judiciously regulated course of
study, act with strong auxiliary influence. In many branches
of instruction, the committee witnessed a display of proficien-
cy, which did equal credit to the students and preceptor.
The report of professor Roche, on the classical pursuit of the
University, is highly interesting. and is frought with the most
sound and correct estimate of the value of close and intimate
acquaintance, with ancient lore. Your Committee would sug-
gest that to require even a further advance and greater skill in
Latin and Greek, to obtain admission into the regular classes
of the University, woukd in their estimation constitute no ob-
jectionto the plan of education, but would in its ultimate re-
sults be benificial to the student, without unjury to the institu-
tion. There exists in most sections of the state, schools in
which the languages, can be correctly acquired. It is proba-
bly more propitious for the morals of the child, that he should
remain during the era of youthful effervesence under the imme-
diate inspection of the parent, and were the attainments requi-
site to admission of greater extent and higher accomplishments,
there would be precluded from this institution, many whose ma-
turity of experience had not armed them with principles fixed
and conviction adequete to guard them against the facinations
of pleasure and allurements of dissipation.
By requiring a greater proficientcy in Latin and Greek than
now demanded, the higher authors in those languages might be
read, the maxims of pure disinterested patriotism, more indeli-
bly impressed, and the philosophy of language more accurately
acquired; each class might be elevated a grade, and more time
given for application to natural, moral and political study.
Your Committee congratulates the University, the Legislature,
and the State, upon the establishment of the Morrison professor-
ship of mathematical science, which the munificence of the late
Col. James Morrison, has enabled the trustees of the Univer-
sity, to add upon a foundation which will be permanent. Such
a professorship had long been a desideratum in the institution,
and whilst law and medicine, phrenology, craniology, philoso-
phy of mind, metaphysicks, in all their multiplied and evanes-
cent, ramifications, were flourishing cultivating the fancy, the
heart and the affections, too little regard, your Committee ap-
prehend, was bestowed and too low rank was assigned to the ex-
act sciences, the most necessary and most useful, in teaching
how to think, to reason, to examine the truth, to know it when
found in their application, to affairs of life and of the world.
Thomas J. Matthews, who has been selected as Morrison
professor, is a gentleman whose reputation furnishes a pledge,
that the department entrusted to his superintendence, will be
conducted so as to increase that reputation, do credit to the
choice and redound benificially to the state.
The increase of the several cabinets of specimens in the aca-
demical and medical departments, indicate the interest which
exists in their prosperity and proves their growing importance.
The libary is extensive, flourishing, apparently, well selected
and under judicious management.
The philosophy of mind can be as well studied in the acquisi-
tion of useful practical knowlegde as in efforts to reconcile the
jargon of the schools, the confusion of theories in attempts to
thread the mazes of metaphysical labyrinths, or pursue the at-
tenuated fibres of speculative abstraction.
From the observations which an intercourse with the world,
has enabled us to make, sound information and elevated maxims
of morality, blended with a cultivation of taste, for the best
models in literature, are the surest guarantees of a virtuous
heart and well regulated affections. Moral and political philo-
sophy are the basis of that charecter, which is most
in a republic.
The diminution of students in the law class may be attribu-
ted to the pressure of the times, the variation in taste or proba-
bly ot the fact, that each town contains a law school of its own,
where the science is taught and the art practically learned, or
perhaphs the number is settling down to that which may be uni-
formly anticipated for the supply of the vacancis in the profes-
sion; on this head we refer to report (L.)
It is matter of pride to witness Kentucky irradiating her sis-
ter states, with the lights of knowledge and dispensing the bles-
sings of education, to the youth of states much older in politi
cal existence than herself.
There are 155 Students in the University from 14 states.
There are 320 Students, pursuing in Transylvania University
the path of science, to usefulness and to fame. No object can be
more grateful to the legislature, than to contemplate the prosper-
ous results of that liberal and enlightened policy, which has
patronized, fostered and cherished this institution into such ma-
turity. The committee amidst the many causes which exist for
exulting at the prosperity of the University, can but regret, that
that institution should still be indebted to the United States
Bank, the sum $5775, specic- this two after the fund appro-
priated to the use of the University out of the dividends of the
Commonwealth's Bank, has been reduced to $2331 37 1-2 in
paper and after a distribution of ten per cent. upon the stock
held in the bank of Kentucky.
They recommend to the trustees of the University, the strict-
est economy, that they refrain from incurring any expenses not
indispensibly necessary to the vitality of the institution, until
that debt is extinguished and their fiscal affairs placed upon a
safer foundation.
It is also advised that the item of $9106 30 of old debts as
will be fully explained by report marked (I.) be critically inves-
tigated and scanned, so much realized as is practicable, and that
which cannot be collected, be at once credited by insolvencies,
and be no longer estimated as a fund, swelling the value of the
institution.
It appears from the report (K.) that Transylvania
University, will from its profits be perfectly enabled to support
itself for the ensuing year. The public patronage, which has
been bestowed through legislative enactments upon this institu-
tion, your committee consider has resulted in manifolf profit to
the state.
The strength of the state physically consists in vigorous yeo
manry- morality in the diffused intelligence and aggregate
virtue of its citizens. Its wealth is as effectually promoted by
reaping the harvest of its own industry, and preventing exhaus-
tion, as by an increase of productions or the direct accumula-
tion of capital. Its political safety. the permanence of its free
institutions and the full growth of its patriotism, are especially
ensured by that domicilary education, which assocrates with
the sunshine and brightness pf childhood and adolescence, the
verdure of its fields and the benignity of its laws.
The dollars that are saved and the hundreds that are gained
to the state, by the resuscitation of the Transylvania University,
though not to be disregarded by the political economist, consti-
tute but dust in the balance, when it is remembered how the mo-
ral and political influence of Kentucky has thus been extended;
and conscience tells our children, and children's children
have been and will be thus furnished the means of liberal, en-
larged public education, in the bosom of their families and the
lap of their country. No foreign manners- no habits inconge-
nial with the softest, kindest and at the same time the most re
fined and most elevated sentiment; no alienation of feeling-
no propensity inimical to the simple republicanism of the father,
is generated in the mind of that youth who grows and ripens
under the vivifying rays of his natal sun. In a moral and poli-
tical point of view, your committee deem the influence of Tran-
sylvania University of infinate importance.
The prosperity of a republic is founded on virtue- national
virtue will, nay must always be proportioned to the intelligence
of a community.
The most extended instruction - the most perfect acquire-
ment - the most exquisite refinement of the few, constitue, not
that state of information, of intelliegence, of education which the
patriot admires or the rebublican demands. Knowledge diffys-
ed through the aggregate mass of society, elevating, purifying,
refining every class, is the foundation of public virtue and the
soul of liberty. The diffusion of learning, not its accumulation
in any individual, is most to be desired. What contributes to
that diffusion so effectually as cheapness? What brings it so
entirely within the family circle as engrafting it upon our own
stock and nurturing it in our own land?
That influence of Transylvania University, is already visable
in that general eagerness for classical and liberal education,
which supports the encreased number of prepartory schools
and subordinate colleges. Its influence will continue to spread;
the bar, the pulpit, the legislative assembly and the medical science
for unnumbered years, will hail with eulogy and thanksgiving,
the enlightened epoch which gave light and life to that insti-
tution.
The medical department is flourishing in a high degree- the
state is peculiarly interested in the continued prosperity of this
establishment and your committee beg leave to refer to a letter
of Professor Drake marked M, as a part of their report.
Nothing can be more grateful to the pride of a Kentuckian
that the recollection that the land which was so lately the
haunt of the Buffaloe and the Indian, is now the seat of cultiva-
tion and of literature, of the sciences and of the arts.
Much praise is due to the President of the University for its
present prosperity- much to the citizens of Lexington for their
co-operation.
With many local advantages and the advantage of an old, a
wealthy and dense population, it is believed no literary institu-
tion is at this day, take it all in all, more flourishing than Tran-
sylvania University.
The committee would suggest for the consideration of the
Legislature, whether it would not be expedient to appropriate
the dividend of the branch of the Commonwealth's bank, located
in Lexington, after discharging what is now due by law to the
University, to the defraying one half the expenses of such build-
ings as are required according to Dr. Drakes latter, for the
medical institution, upon condition of the other half being paid
by subscription, provided the half paid by the state should not
exceed $4000.
The committee would do injustice to their feelings were they
not to express their highest admiration of the plan of govern-
ment, adopted for the direction of the students, as developed in
the Presidentd communication to the board of Trustees. They
do not, cannot doubt its efficacy and complete success, when ad-
dressed to the affec tions, the honor, and the pride of liberal, en-
lightened and moral agents.

LEXINGTON, NOV. 11, 1824.
Gentlemen:
In your report of yesterday, we percieve in the stock
account this item: "Old debts, ~(these debts are of little value,)
$9,106." Be pleased to report the true situation of these debts,
how they were created, whether they are based on notes or book
account, and why they have been lost to the University.
Respecfully,
T. D. CARNEAL, Ch'm.
To the Committee of Finance, T. U.
LEXINGTON, NOV. 11, 1824.
Sir:
In answer of your note of this day, relative to the item of
$9,106 of old accounts, the committee state, that a very small
proportion of that sum is actually due. The present Treasurer
being directed to report the condition of the monied concerns of
the University, went over the former Treasurer's and Steward's
books, as far back as fifteen or twenty years, and trauscribed
the balances as they stood, not knowing (what was the fact) that
most of them were charges made by the former Treasurers and
Stewards, of payments made to persons to whom the University
was indebted, and in whose favor the proper credits had not been
entered. This fact was not known to the present Treasurer,
but was to many members of the board, and appaears from the
papers and proceedings of the institution; and when the Treas-
urer's report came before the board, there was an order made,
that the Treasurer and Clerk should go over the books and give
each account its proper credit. The account rendered was the
Treasurer's annual report; it having been made out including
the list of old debts, could not conveniently be changed, and
was, therefore, laid before your committee in that shape.
There is about $2,000 of old debts actually due the institution.
$1,000 of which, is a note of Paul Skidmore, deceased, late of
Louisville; the rest are old notes and open accounts of several
years' standing, but few of which are likely to be collectd. -
Some of those debts have been lost by insolvencies, and some by
removals and lapse of time.
The organisation of the institution at this time, will, in future,
prevent any like occuraence, as there is no credit now given.

L.
To Thomas D. Carneal, Esq. Chairman of the Committee of the
General Assembly, appointed to enquire into the state of Tran-
sylvania University.
The board of Trustees of Transylvania University, to whom
the communication from the Committee of the General Assembly
was made, requesting to know the cause of the "diminution of
the number of students in the Law department, since the last
annual report," and "what measures are necessary to restore
that department to its former respectability and usefulness," re-
port: That the resignation of Professor Barry occasioned much
(10)
solicitude on the part of the Trustees of Transylvania Univer-
sity, to fill the vacancy, by appointing one of the most distin-
guished persons of the profession in the state, who would be
likely to act. Accordingly, on the 12th day of July last, Judge
Boyle was unanimously elected, and the chairman of the board
was requested to make that communication to him, which was
don; but by a mistake in addressing this letter, the information
was not given to Judge Boyle. After waiting a considerable
time for his reply, it was not until some time in August, that
Mr. Clay, a member of the board of Trustees, reported that he
had verbally informed Mr. Boyle of his appointment, who sta-
ted to him, that although he had not received any official notice
of his appointment, from the chairman, he, Mr. Clay, was re-
quested to inform the board, that he, Mr. Boyle. could not ac-
cept the appointment, as he conceived it would interfere with his
other official duties. At a meeting of the board of Trustees on
the 20th of September, the subject of filling the vacancy in the
Law department, was again discussed, without coming to any
decision. In this state of anxiety and uncertainty, and without
the knowledge or approbation of the board of Trustees, notice
was given in the public newspapers by Professor Bledsoe, dated
the 20th September, stating, "it was expected that a regular
Professor of National and Civil Law, would have been procured;
but this expectation has not been realized. The undersigned
Professor will have, therefore, to perform the entire duties of
the department, unless, as he has hopes of doing, he shall be
able to procure an assistant, competent to discharge the duties
pertaining to those branches." This publication was considered
by the Trustees as being premature, if not highly indiscreet, on
the part of Professor Bledsoe. It was inserted in two or the
papers published in Lexington, and no notice was taken of it ;
the Trustees still entertaining a hope that a suitable and perma-
nent appointment could be made, before the commencement of
the lectures. In this they were disappointed, until a few days
before the duties of the Professor were to begin. At the solici-
tation of Professor Bledsoe, the President of the University
consented to render his assistance, by undertaking the depart-
ment of "National and Civil Law and Political Economy." The
Trustees, therefore, state, that in their opinion, the "diminu-
tion" of the number of students in the Law department, has been
occasioned (among others) by the want of a sufficient number of
competent Professors in that school, and the frequent changes,
by resignation, even in that too small number. The trustees
are further of opinion, that if the number of Professors was in-
creased to three or four, and men of correct habits. possessing
the requisite attainments and industry. could be induced to ac-
cept, who would devote their time to the object of instruction,
(11)
the Law department would not only be restored " to its former
respectability and usefulness, " but would increase and become
one of the most distinguished schools in the Union. That our
state possesses men with the necessary qualifications, in an em-
inent degree, there can be no doubt ; and the Trustees have ac-
cordingly determined to organize anew, the Law school, on this

TRANSYLVANIA UNIVERSITY, Nov. 10. 1824.
Sir ---- I feel gratified that you have invited a communication on
the subject of an edifice for the Medical department of Transyl-
vania University. It is a matter of the utmost interest, to all
who are concerned with that branch of the institution, as Trus-
tees, Professors, Pupils, and Parents, who have some to educate
for the practice of Medicine and Surgery.
The Medical Faculty consists of six Professors and one As-
sistant, and there have been provided, for the use of the depart-
ment, a competent number of books and anatomical prepara-
tions. What remains as a desideratum, is, a suitable edifice,
detached from other buildings, for greater security from fire,
and capacious enough to afford lecture rooms for all the profes-
sors, and appropriate apartments for the Library, Museum of
Anatomical preparations, specimens of diseased parts of the bo-
dy, specimens of Minerals, specimens of Medicinal Plants and
Plants useful in the Arts, specimens of Medicines and the raw
materials out of which they are manufactured, chemical Appa-
ratus, and models of Surgical instruments and Apparel.
These various articles are scarcely less necessary to the popu-
larity, and perhaps more necessary to the perpetuity of the
school, than able Professors. To answer the ends for which
they are designed, it is indispensable, however, that they should
be collected and systematically arranged in one building ; and
that this should be the same in which the lectures are delivered.
Without this connexion, they could neither be employed by Pro-
fessors nor Pupils, in a way to render them of much utility. It
is necessary to bring them before the classes, in the respective
lecture rooms, which could not be done, unless they were be-
neath the same roof.
At the present time, one of the Professors meets his class in
a house of his own, and the remainder rent a building, which
affords them, with the Library and Anatomical and Mineralo-
gical cabincts, very imperfect accommodations, which are pecu-
(12)
liarly, and at every instant, liable to destruction by fire. The
building being one of a row of old houses, in a populous part of
the city, should any one of the range of which it is a member,
take fire, the probability is, that all the collections of the depart-
ment would be consumed, as they occupy the upper chambers.
These collection, books and specimens, have cost the state, the
town of Lexington, the Trustees of the University and the Fa-
culty, about $12,000 inspecie, and could not be replaced with-
out again raising a similar sum and sending a Professor to Eu-
rope, neither of which, in such an event, would perhaps be prac-
ticable.
The value of the Medical school to Transylvania to Kentucky,
is two-fold. 1st. It places Medical instruction within the reach
of a great number of her sons, who are too poor to go abroad,
and saves to her all the money which those who might visit dis-
tant schools would disburse: 2d. It renders the whole Western
country, from the Alleghany mountains to the plains of Mis-
souri, and from the Lakes to the Gulph of Mexico, tributary to
her : and indeed, it does not stop here ; for between thirty and
forty of the students now in attendance on the Medical lectures,
are from Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia, east of the
mountains. Of our sister states, Tennessee and Ohio furnish
the greatest number, amounting, at the present time, to more
than sixty. There is, in short, not an inlet, on the entire cir-
cumference of the state, through which Medical students do not
enter : and the sum of money which they disburse, from their
ingress to their egress out of the state, is so great, as in reality
to constitute one of the elements of her prosperity.
There is no reason, moreover, why in a few years, the num-
ber of foreign pupils should not be doubled, with a correspond-
ing increase of expenditure, among us. To this object, all our
desires should be directed, and every means of accomplishing
it should be brought into requisition.
Could no other of the western states establish a similar and
rival institution, the interests and prospects of this, would less
imperiously call for the attention and patronage of the honora-
ble the General Assembly, and the sovereign people of the state
at large. This is not the case, however ; and Ohio has, already,
made the experiment in a city, which is supposed to possess some
advantages over Lexington, for such an establishment. The
first attempt was abortive ; but it is not to be presumed that the
people, either of that city or state, have entirely lost sight of such
an impartant object, and it is not difficult to foresee, that the
time is not distant, when it may be revived, with aspects that
will attract, and divide with us the patronage of the west. Now,
when Kentucky enjoys the whole, is the time to adopt efficient
measures for preserving it undivided, and making herself in the
(13)
western United States, what Pennsylvania has been in the cas-
tern, for nealy half a century.
To expect the Professors to erect an edifice, would be unrea-
sonable ; it has never been done any where. The expense would
be too great, to be met by a few persons. As soon as it was
incurred, it might be necessary for a Professor to resign and
emigrate, or he might die, or, holding his place at the will and
pleasure of the Trustees, he might be dismissed ; in either case,
losing the sum he had thus invested. In short, there is not, in
principle, any reason why such a public edifice should be erected
by the teaches, who, at this particular time, would occupy it
during the sessions of the school, more than that the honorable
members of the General Assembly and the great officers of state,
should rebuild the state-house out of their private purses, in-
stead of the public Treasury.
That the citizens of Lexington should build it, ought not to be
expected. It would be paying toom much for the benefit of its
location among them. Moreover, they have already given to
the department, $11,000 in specie, or about that sum ; and it may
be safely affirmed, that but for their public spirited efforts, the
institution would not now be in existence. In reference to it,
the state and the town, are under reciprocal obligations.
From a survey of the whole subject, it appears to me, that the
erection of such and edifice, is a legitimate object of Legislative
attention ; and I therefore beg leave,most respectfully, to re-
commend it to the honorable the General Assembly, and in the
spirit and language of a memorialist, would solicit for it, their
consideration. An appropriation, conditioned on the contribu-
tion of an additional sum, sufficient for the purpose, by the peo-
ple of Lexington, and the Professors and Officers of the Univer-
sity, is the moset equitable mode which presents itself to me at
this moment.
If my zeal and anxieties on the subject, have betrayed me into
any expression too strong for the occasion, I hope you will ex-
cuse it. The desire to put you in possession of what I wished
to say, before you should leave town to-morrow morning, to-
gether with the weight of double professional duties in the insti-
tution, at the present time, leaves me no opportunity of writing
in a premeditated style, or of correcting imperfect sentences.
I have the honor to be, respectfully,
Your friend and ob'dt serv't.

nia University.
GENTLEMEN :
In compliance with your request, I have the honor to
(14)
communicate to you the following report concerning the litera-
ry, scientific and moral condition of this establishment.
I. THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS.
In consequence of the fact, that the committee of the Legis-
lature have visited us at an earlier period than has been com-
mon heretofore, the number of students, which I now return,
does not show the full amount of the classes, as they ought to
be recorded for the session. Our previous catalogues have been
made out in January, and up to that time, additions are con-
tinually made. We have good reason to believe, that the
aggregate of the present year, though somewhat differently dis-
tributed, will be equal to that of past years. There are now in
the University, 320 students: 1 Law Class, 18; 2. Medical
Class, 184, 3. Academical Classes, 95; 4. Preparatory Depart-
ment, 23.
The report of the Law Professor (A.) shows, that the Law
Class may be estimated at between 20 and 30, forthe present
session.
The report of Professor Dudley, Dean of Medical Facul-
ty, ( B ) states, that although the number of matriculated stu-
dents in the Medical Class is now 184, there are already more
than 200 in town, attending the lectures, and that the prospect is,
of a considerable addition even to that number.
In the Academical Classes, the additions, as we judge from
experience, may be estimated at 30, before the usual time of
printing the catalogue. For the Preparatory Department, an
increase of ten may be allowed.
Of the 320 students, 155 are from 14 of our sister States, a
greater number by 10, than we have ever had before from a-
broad, Pennsylvania, 1; New-York, 1; Indiana, 2; Illinois, 2;
Missouri, 5; North-Carolina, 6; Georgia, 9; Louisiana, 12;
Virginia, 12; Ohio, 14; South-Carolina, 14; Mississippi, 15;
Alabama, 22; Tennessce, 40. Of these, 8 are in the Law
Class, and 29 in the Academical Classes.
Preparatory Schools have multiplied in Lexington and its
vicinity, and have taken many pupils, who would otherwise
have come to this department of the institution.
II. THE OFFICERS AND COURSE OF INSTRUCTION.

(16)
Globes, Conics, Cronology, Tytler's Elements of Ancient and

tronomy, Fluxions, Anciest and Modern History, Chemistry,
Philosophical Grammar, (Murray and Tooke) Logic, (Hedge)
Rhetoric, (Blair) Philosophy of Mind including the elements of
Theology, (Brown) Ethics (Paley,) Politics and Political E-
conomy (Paley and Say) Themes, Forensics, Declamation.
In Mathematics, Day, Hutton and Legendre's Geometry, the
Trigonometry of Lacroix with Farrar's Appendix, the Flux-
ions of Lacroix, and Cavallo's Philosophy, are used.
Henry, Thompson and Bache, are the works most commoly
referred to in Chemistry.
The Books of reference in the Law Department, are found
in the Professor's report, with the exception of those used by
the President, which are Brown, Cooper's Justinia, Domat,
Vattal, and Say.
Where instruction is given by lectures, as in the Medical
School, text books, properly so called, are not commonly used,
but the most approved authors are pointed out to the student in
the course of investigation.
In the Academical Department, fifteen recitations are atten-
ded daily with the four classes : and three courses of lectures,
including one on Natural Philosoply with full experiments, are
given during the session. There are two courses of Law Lec-
tures, seven of Medicine, one of Mental Philosophy, besides the
recitations in this science, and one of Natural History. Reci-
tations are found best for the younger students, and lectures
for the older, though they are blended, in a degree, by all the
Professors.
The practice of Declamation is pursued weekly for the two
upper classes. Ten students appear every Saturday before an
audience in the chapel, where their pronunciation, tone, action,
and whole manner, are subjected to faithful criticism on the
spot. The inhabitants customaily attend on these occasions,
and render them highly exciting and improving. The members
of the two lower classes declaim daily before all the students
assembled at morning prayers.
Compositions are written upon themes selected by the stu-
dents and sanctioned by a Professor ; and these, after being
read aloud by the writer, before his class are criticised by an
instructer with his pen in his hand, when all faults are marked
and corrected. Forensic debate is also cultivated by the seniors,
under the direction of the President, who pressrves order during
the discussion, and decides the questions afterwards.
Tne course of history is far better conducted now, than at
(17)
any former period in the University. The philosophy of it is
presented to the student, and general principles are drawn out
for practical untility. In natural philosophy, also, great im-
provements are made in the mode of instruction, and experi-
ments, which are indispensable, are formed by the Morrison
Professor, with great skill and success. Under the combined
efforts of this officer and the lecturer on Pharmacy who is an
excellent mechanician, our philosophical apparatus is undergo-
ing a thorough repair, and is assuming an entirely new aspect.
In the Law School, there is a Moot Court, as well as a Le-
gislative Assembly, for the benefit of the class. Practice and
facility are thus acquired in professional duty.
Six hours a day are devoted to instruction in the Preparato-
ry Department, and this school is decidedly one of the best in
our country.
Religious instruction and worship are secured on the Lord's
Day, in the Chapel of the University, by clergyment of the prin-
cipal denominations of Christians, according to a plan drawn
up last year by the President, sanctioned by the Board of Trus-
tees, and herewith submitted, in a printed pamphlet marked C.
This had had an obviously good effect, and will doubtless be con-
tinued so long as it is found to have a favourable influence on
the University. The principles of the measure are entirely
catholic, and harmonize with the genius of our free institu-
tions and the character of our people.
III. LIBRARIES, (Report D. ) Law, 430 volumes ; Medical
2,500. (B) ; Academical 2,400 ; total, 5,430 volumes. In addi-
tion to these, there are about 1000 volumes in the libraries of
two college Societies, and about 6,000 in the Town Library ;
thus making between 12,000 and 13,000 volumes to which stu-
dents in this place can have access, independently of the book-
stores and private collections. Of the books belonging to the
University, five-sixths have been obtained under the present ad-
ministration of the affars of the institution, or since the year
1818, when the Legislature took it into their more immediate
protection. Besides donations, which have been numerous,
books to the amont of $14,775 in the currency of the State,
have been placed upon our shelves. Nearly every one of our
valuable works in science and criticism, is included in this num-
ber. The libraries are kept open daily, an fire, tables and
stationary, according to the rules marked E. are provided for
the accommodation of students. In this way, the books are
rendered far more useful thean formerly.
IV. APPARATUS. In the care of the Morrison Professor,
are the following articles, as will appear from his report, F.
An Acromatic Telescope, a Sextant and Quadrant, a Solar Mi-
scroscope, a Botanical Microscope, a Magic Lantern, a Came
C
(18)
ra Obscura, an opera Glass, a Kaleidoscope with a convex
lens to present objects from without, an instrument for optical
deceptions, a convex Mirror, two glass Prisms, a whirling Ta-
ble, a case of Mathematical instruments, an apparatus for dem-
onstrating the Mechanical Powers, an Hydrostatic Balance, an
Hydrostatic Bellows, an Hydrostatic Paradox, an Air Pump, an
Electrial Machine, two Barometers, a pair of large Globes,
an Orrery and two Magnets.
Most of this is in a state fit for use, or will be in a few days,
as has been already intimated. The sum of $569 79 in specie,
the interest which had arisen on the Morrison Fund before a
professor was appointed (G) is now appropriated to purchase
additional instruments.
The Anatomical Museum contains about 120 specimens in
dry and wet preparations, and in wax models, many of them
very valuable, (B) Among these is a complete human figure
from Italy, made with great skill, and susceptiable of being ta-
ken to pieces, for the purpose of exhibiting the most curious and
interesting parts of our interior organization.
A catalogue of the apparatus in the Chemical Room, which
is extensive and valuable, I have not yet obtained, but shall re-
quest the Clerk of the Board to procure and hand it over to the
committee.
The Cabinet, in the care of the Professor of Natural History
and Botany, amounts (as in report D.) to 44,000 specimens, in-
cluding all kinds, plants, shells, insects, fossils, antiquities,
and curiosities. A part only of these belong to the University,
the majority being deposites by different gentlemen.
V. DISCIPLINE AND MANNERS. Graduates and gentlemen
who attend the Law and Medical classes, are presumed to be
competent to self government, and are only so far under the su-
perintendence of the Officers of the University, as to forfeit
their standing in the institution, and to have their connexion
with it dissolved, if they do not observe common decorum and
good morals. The Academical classes are under a more par-
ticular code of laws, containing sufficient provisions for all the
purposes of collegial government. (See the pamphlet and sheet
marked H. and I.) These laws are substantially enforced,
while the government is mainly moral and parental. A course
of lectures on manners and morals, which the President is in
the habit of giving every Saturday, to the students in the chap-
el, and in which he is as minute and affectionate as his parental
solicitude inspires, is found greatly to aid the influence of the
laws, and almost to supersede the use of direct authority. The
members of the Academical Faculty meet every Monday, at
the President's room, to make reports of the condition of their
departments, and to hear and decide such cases of discipline as
(19)
may arise. At these meeting, the state of the University is
considered, the rank of the students ascertained, improvements
suggested, complaints at home or abroad discussed, and all the
interests of the institution made the subjects of attention.
The conduct of the pupils is in general excellent, and fewer
punishments are required in this University, than in any of the
several eastern institutions, with which the writer of this re-
port is acquainted. A thorough experiment is now going on
with us, to ascertain how far a parental and moral influence,
perseveringly exerted in private advice and admonition, with a
direct appeal to the interests and generous affections of young
men, may supersede the necessity of an academical penal code.
Our authority however is always kept in reserve for such as
will not be governed by better motives. We are happy to find
our efforts thus dar remarkably successful. The effect of hav-
ing our young men in the good families of the place, under the
immediate and chastening operation of domestic affections and
arrangements, and of virtuous female society, instead of being
assembled at a common table in a Refectory, with the feelings
and coarse associations of barracks, is decidedly most saluta-
ry and important. It is fully believed, and respectfully, as
well as firmly asserted, that the moral and religious feelings of
no portion of the youth of our community, are more just or el-
evated, or better adapted to make useful and effective men, than
those of the young gentlemen of Transylvania University.
They not only have the opportunity to hear, in the Chapel, the
Preachers of all religious denominations in the town, and in the
Churches too, and thus to acquire liberal and well balanced o-
pinions, together with kind impressions toward the different
classes of Christians; but are also continually engaged in the in-
vestigation and illustration of the most important and purifying
truths, that literature, science, and the daliy interests of man,
can present to the human attention.
Such is the general condition of Transylvania University,
a condition which justifies the congratulations of its friends,
both in the Church and in the State, both in public and in pri-
vate life. Notwithstanding the advantages, however, which it
possesses, there are some wants, to which, we would point the
eyes of its patrons. We greatly need a fund for the support of
a Professor of History, Geography and Chronology, and of a
Professor of one of the ancient languages, to aid the present
Teacher in that department. We also want a fund to procure
many valuable books and instruments, the advantages of which
we are now obliged to forego.
Respectfully yours,
Nov. 10th, 1824.
HORACE HOLLEY.

Description
An account of the resource
Drawing from many historical collections at the Filson Historical Society, First American West incorporates maps, diaries, letters, ledgers, and objects. The collection documents the travels of the first Europeans to enter the trans-Appalachian West, the maps tracing their explorations, their relations with Native Americans, and their theories about the region's mounds and other ancient earthworks. Naturalists and other scientists describe Western bird life and bones of prehistoric animals. Books and letters document the new settlers' migration and acquisition of land, navigation down the Ohio River, planting of crops, and trade in tobacco, horses, and whiskey.<br /><br />The First American West: The Ohio River Valley, 1750-1820 consists of 15,000 pages of original historical material documenting the land, peoples, exploration, and transformation of the trans-Appalachian West from the mid-eighteenth to the early nineteenth century.

A name given to the resource
First American West, 1750-1820
Description
An account of the resource
Drawing from many historical collections at the Filson Historical Society, First American West incorporates maps, diaries, letters, ledgers, and objects. The collection documents the travels of the first Europeans to enter the trans-Appalachian West, the maps tracing their explorations, their relations with Native Americans, and their theories about the region's mounds and other ancient earthworks. Naturalists and other scientists describe Western bird life and bones of prehistoric animals. Books and letters document the new settlers' migration and acquisition of land, navigation down the Ohio River, planting of crops, and trade in tobacco, horses, and whiskey.<br /><br />The First American West: The Ohio River Valley, 1750-1820 consists of 15,000 pages of original historical material documenting the land, peoples, exploration, and transformation of the trans-Appalachian West from the mid-eighteenth to the early nineteenth century.

Where grand Ohio rolls his silver floods,
Through verdant fields, and darkly waving woods,
Beholding oft, in flowery verdure drest,
The green isle swelling from his placid breast;
Here where so late, the Indian's lone canoe,
Swift o'er the wave, in fearless triumph flew,
Behold the stately steam-borne vessel glide,
With eagel swiftness, o'er the yielding tide,
Ande where so late, its shelter, rude and low,
The wigwam rear'd, beneath the forest bough.
Lo! cities spring before the wondering eyes,
And domes of grandeur swell into the skies.

PREFACE
It will be perceived that the account of Cincinnati, con-
tained in this work, is written by Messrs. Drake and
Mansfield, in 1827, and that they have used much of the
information before published by Dr. Drake, in 1815, and
whose anticipations in favour of the place were fully
realized in the interim. The work is so accredited, as
exhibiting the actual state of the place of which it treats,
that the author of the present volume has purposely
inserted it, instead of relying on his own observations
merely, and which might be supposed to be influenced
by the favourable impression that the place made upon
him. Convinced of the accuracy of the account by
Messrs. Drake and Mansfield, he lays it before the public,
as likewise his purposed intention of forming a rural town
in its immediate vicinity, with full confidence, that those
persons who may choose to seek a cheap, agreeable, and
healthful retreat in that part of the world, will not be
dissapointed.
The generalized plan of the United States of America,
represents the relative situations of Cincinnati and
Hygeia, and it will be found, on inspection, that they
are placed in the very heart of the country, and possessing
much greater advantages towards increasing prosperity,
than is to be found in any other part of the country.
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
The Author was so pleased with the country in the
neighborhood of Cincinnati, and convinced of its
eligibility, in every respect, for the residence of persons
of limited property, that he purchased an extensive estate
with a handsome house there, within a mile of the city,
to which he is about to retire with his family. The spot
is so beautiful and salubrious, and affords such facilities
for the erection of pleasurable dwellings, with gardens to
them, that, on his arrival in England, with a survey
of the estate, he engaged Mr. John B. Papworth, the
architect, to lay out the most beautiful part of it as a
town of retirement, to be called Hygeia, as shown in the
plan exhibited in the front of this volume. This will
enable persons desirous of establishing themselves in this
abundant and delightful country, to do so at a very
moderate expense.
Mr. Bullock returns to this estate immediately, and
application may be made to Mr. Papworth, 10, Caroline
Streer, Bedford Square, where the plan and model of the
spot may be seen.
JOURNEY
FROM
NEW ORLEANS TO NEW YORK, BY THE MISSISSIPPI,
OHIO, FALLS OF NIAGARA, &c.
On my return from Mexico to England, in the spring of the
present year, I was induced, by the representation of an
American friend, to pass through the United States, by way
of New Orleans, up the Mississippi and Ohio, by lake Erie,
the falls of Niagara, the Erie canal, and Hudson river, to
New York, as by this route the tedious sea voyage would be
much shortened, with the advantage of affording me the view
of a large and interesting portion of North America, without
losing time, or adding much to the expense; nearly the whole
journey being now performed by commodious steam and
towboats on the rivers, lakes, and canals in the interior of the
states.
We sailed from Vera Cruz on the 20th of March, in the
small American schooner General Warren; our little cabin
contained a motley groupe of eighteen persons, natives of
France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and North
America—myself and wife being the oly natives of England.
The morning after we sailed, we had the misfortune to find
that one of our party, a Spanish merchant, who came on board
unwell, had brought among us that terrible malady, the
black vomitta, so fatal to strangers in this part of the world.
We were without medical assistance, and the sufferings of
the unfortunate man were dreadful; to add to our distress,
the weather, which was unfavourable on our first sailing, had
settled into one of those gales so well known in the Gulf of
Mexico by the name of Northers, so that we were compelled
to confine ourselves to the cabin with the invalid. On the
sixth day from our leaving land he expired, and was
committed to the deep.
On the following morning we made land, and in the
evening entered one of the mouths of the Mississippi, about
vi JOURNEY FROM
100 miles below New Orleans. The wind being adverse, we
cast anchor on those muddy banks covered with reeds, which
here commence the great swamp, or wilderness, that composes
this part of the United States, and which, though extremely
fertile, and under a fine climate, is a most dangerous district
for the residence of strangers, at the close of the summer,
and during the autumn, the miasma, or insalubrity of the air
at those periods, generating a disease, similar to that so pre-
valent, and so fatal at Vera Cruz. The next morning a fine
steam tow-boat of 300 tons, that we had passed the evening
before, outside the bar, whilst taking out the cargo of a
stranded vessel, came up, and took us, and another schooner in
tow, and proceeded up the river against wind and current to
New Orleans, where we arrived the following morning.
The woody flats that confined, or rather marked, the river
on both sides, as far as the eye could trace, were overgrown
with reeds, and other aquatic plants, which appeared springing
up amidst millions of whole trees, with their roots and
branches, which had been brought down with the floods, from
the sides of the rivers of the interior, 1000 miles above, and
deposited here, on the shallow mud-banks. In some instances
young trees were springing from these old trunks, and thus,
with the alluvial deposit surrounding them, were increasing
the territory of the United States in the Gulf of Mexico.
As we advanced farther up the river, we observed places
where some of the choicest of these dead trees had been
pulled on shore and negroes were employed in splitting them
for firewood, or sawing them into boards. The recollection
of the sufferings of the poor in many parts of Europe, from the
want of fuel, cannot but excite regret, at the sight of such
abundance of timber, wasting here in decay. For many miles
the ground does not admit of cultivation or settlement, but,
travelling onward, about noon we observed trees which began
to increase in size, and to assume the appearance of low
woods, which, however, seemed to spring from the water ; not
a spot of dry land being visible across these vast marshes, even
from the lofty and ample deck of the steam-boat.
About twelve leagues above the entrance from the sea, we cam
in sight of Fort Jackson, now erecting on the left side of the
river, on the first solid ground we had yet observed ; and on the
other side Fort Philip, on which the American flag was flying.
The ground from hence began to improve ; we passed several
houses, and, as we came opposite the site of the battle in which
NEW ORLEANS TO NEW YORK. vii
the British army was defeated by General Jackson, during the
late war, the banks of the river assumed the appearance of the
neighbourhood of a populous city. We now passed numerous
good houses, each with a large verandah and garden; and a
nunnery, in which several of the ladies in their habitats were
distinctly visible. A few minutes brought us in sight of the
city of New Orleans, where the river was crowded with com-
mercial vessels from all nations, the majority of which, how-
ever were from England. We immediately landed, and found
ourselves in the midst of a well built street, nearly choked up
with bales of cotton. Here were handsome shops, filled with
well dressed people, in the European costumes, the ladies in
the fashipns of London and Paris. The English Language
being generally spoken, produced that unexpected delight,
which could only be felt by Britons, who, like ourselves, had
been long absent from our native land, and residents of such
a country as Mexico. We has an introduction to a respectable
boarding-house, kept by an English lady, whose politeness and
attention shortly made us feel ourselves at home. We re-
mained a week in this commercial city, and saw whatever was
deemed worth seeing ; but, as the city has been so well de-
scribed by the Rev. Timothy Flint, in his "Recollections of
the Last Ten Years spent in the Valley of the Mississippi,'
lately published, I shall gratify the English reader by giving
that gentleman's account in his own words.
"One hundred miles from the mout of the Mississippi,
and something more than a thousand from the mouth of the
Ohio, just below a sharp point of the river, is situated on its
east bank, the city of New Orleans, the great commercial
capital of the Mississippi valley. The position for a com-
mercial city is unrivalled, I believe, by any one in the world.
At a proper distance from the Gulf of Mexico–on the banks
of a stream which may be said almost to water a world–but
a little distance from Lake Ponchartrain, and connected with
it by a navigable canal–the immense alluvion contiguous to
it–penetrated in all directions either by bayous formed by
nature, or canals which cost little more trouble in the making
than ditches–steam-boats visiting it from fifty different
shores–possessing the immediate agriculture of its own
state, the richest in America, and as rich as any in the world,
with continually increasing agriculture of the upper
country, its position far surpasses that of New York itself.
viii JOURNEY FROM
It has one dreary drawback–the insalubrity of its situation.
Could the immense swamps between it and the bluffs be
drained, and the improvements commenced in the city be
completed; in short, could its atmospher ever become a dry
one, it would soon leave the greatest cities of the Union
behind.
Great efforts are making towards this result. Unhappily,
when the dog star rises upon its sky, the yellow fever is but
too sure to come in its train. Notwithstanding the annual,
or at least the biennial visits of this pestilence ; although its
besom sweeps off multitudes of unacclimated poor, and com-
pels the rich to fly ; notwithstanding the terror, that is every
where associated with the name of the city, after the ab-
sence of a season, I discover an obvious change. New build-
ings have sprung up, and new improvements are going on.
Its regular winter population, between forty and fifty
thousand inhabitants, is five times the amount which it had
when it came under the American government. The ex-
ternal form of the city on the river side is graduated in some
measure to the curve of the river. The street that passes
along the leveé, and conforms to the course of the river, is
called Leveé-street, and is the one in which the greatest and
most active business of the city is transacted. The upper
part of the city is principally built and inhabited by Ameri-
cans, and is called the 'Fauxbourg St. Mary.' The greater
number of the houses in this fauxbourg are of brick, and
built in the American style. In this quarter are the Pres-
byterian church and the new theatre. The ancient part of
the city, as you pass down Leveé-street towards the Cathe-
dral, has in one of the clear, bright January mornings, that
are so common at that season, an imposing and brilliant
aspect. There is something fantastic and unique in the ap-
pearance, I am told, far more resembling European cities,
than any other in the United States. The houses are stuc-
coed externally, and this stucco is white or yellow, and strikes
the eye more pleasantly than the dull and sombre red of
brick. There can be no question, but the American mode of
building is at once more commodius, and more solid and
durable, than the French and Spanish ; but I think the
latter have the preference in the general effect upon the eye.
Young as the city is, the effect of this humid climate, ope-
rating upon the mouldering materials, of which the buildings
NEW ORLEANS TO NEW YORK. ix
are composed, has already given it the aspect of age, and to
the eye, it would seem the most ancient city in the United
States. The streets are broad, and the plan of the city is
perfectly rectangular and uniform. There are in the limits
of the city three malls, or parade grounds, of no great extent,
and not yet sufficiently shaded, though young trees are
growing in them. They serve as parade grounds, and in the
winter have a beautiful carpet of clover, of a most brilliant
green. Royal and Charter streets are the most fashionable
and splendid in the city. The parade ground, near the basin,
which is a harbour, dug out to receive the lake vessels, is the
most beautiful of the parades."
"In respect to the manners of the people, those of the
French citizens partake of their general national character.
They have here their characteristic politeness and urbanity ;
and it may be remarked, that ladies of the highest standing
will show courtesies that would not comport with the ideas
of dignity entertained by the ladies at the North. In their
convivial meetings there is apparently a great deal of cheerful
familiarity, tempered, however, with the most scrupulous ob-
servances, and the most punctilious decorum. They are the
same gay, dancing, spectacle-loving race, that they are every
where else. It is well known that the Catholic religion does
not forbid amusements on the Sabbath. They fortify them-
selves in defending the custom of going to balls and the
theatre on the Sabbath, by arguing that religion ought to
inspire cheefulness, and that cheerfulness is associated with
religion."
"The Americans come hither from all the states. Their
object is to accumulate wealth, and spend it somewhere else.
But death–which they are very little disposed to take into
the account–often brings them up before their scheme is
accomplished. They have, as might be expected of an as-
semblage from different regions, mutual jealousies, and
mutual dispositions to figure in each other's eyes ; of course
the New Orleans people are gay, gaudy in their dress,
houses, furniture, and equipage, and rather fine than in the
best taste.
There are some fifty steam-boats lying in the harbour.
A clergyman from the North made with me the best enu-
meration that we could, and we calculated that there were
a 5
x JOURNEY FROM
from twelve to fifteen hundred flat boats lying along the
river. They would average from forty to sixty tons burden.
The number of vessels in the harbour from autumn to spring
is very great. More cotton is shipped from this port than
from any other in America, or perhaps the world. I could
never have formed a conception of the amount in any other
way, than by seeing the immense piles of it that fill the
streets, as the crop is coming in. It is well known that the
amount of sugar raised and shipped here is great, and in-
creasing. The produce from the upper country has no limits
to the extent of which it is capable ; and the commerce of
this important city goes on steadily increasing.
This city exhibits the greatest variety of costume, and
foreigners ; French, Spanish, Portugese, Irish in shoals ; in
short, samples of the common people of all the European
nations, Creoles, all the intermixtures of Negro and Indian
blood, the moody and ruminating Indians, the inhabitants of
the Spanish provinces, and a goodly woof to this warp, of
boatment, 'half horse and half alligator ;' and more languages
are spoken here than in any other town in America. There
is a sample, in short, of every thing. In March the town is
most filled ; the market shows to the greatest advantage ; the
citizens boast of it, and are impressed with the opinion that
it far surpasses any other. In effect this is the point of union
between the North and the South. The productions of all
climes find their way hither, and for fruits and vegetables, it
appears to me to be unrivalled. In a pleasant March fore-
noon, you see, perhaps, half the city here. The crowd covers
half a mile in extent. The negroes, mulattoes, French, Spa-
nish, Germans, are all crying their several articles in their
several tongues. They have a wonderful faculty of twanging
the sound through their noses, as shrill as the notes of a
trumpet. In the midst of the Babel trumpeting, 'un pica-
lion, un picalion,' is the most distinguishable tune."
"The communications from this city with the interior, are
easy, pleasant, and rapid, by the steam-boats. More than a
hundred are now on these waters. Some of them, for size,
accomodation, and splendour, exceed any that I have seen
on the Atlantic waters. The Washington, Feliciana, Pro-
vidence, Natchez, and various others, are beautiful and com-
modious boats. The fare is sumptuous, and passages are
comparatively cheap. I have also uniformly found the pas-

sengers obliging and friendly. Manners are not so distant or
stately as at the North ; and it is much easier to become ac-
quainted with your fellow passengers. A trip up the Missis-
sippi at the proper season of the year is delightful."
The vicinity of New Orleans is not interesting, and the roads
and drives but few, owing to the swamp in which it is placed.
We went in a carriage to lake Ponchartrain, about three miles
distant, where we procured a few interesting fresh-water
shells ; but, in general, the subjects of natural history, which
I had lately seen, had not much novelty to recommend them.
I must not omit stating, that, in one of my rambles, in a
small street, near the steam-boat landing, I saw on a sign, in
large letters, "Big Bone Museum." This excited my curiosity,
and I expected to see mammoth-bones, as the banks, past which
the water of this river rolls, had produced a great number of
those surprising remains. I therefore entered, and was indeed
astonished at the sight, not of the remains of a mammoth, but
what are believed to be those of a stupendous crocodile, and
which, indeed, are likely to prove so, intimating the former
existence of a lizard, at least 150 feet long ; for I measured
the right side of the under jaw, which I found to be 21 feet
along the curve, and 4 feet 6 inches wide ; the others con-
sisted of numerous vertebrae, ribs, femoral bones, and toes, all
corresponding in size to the jaw ; there were also some teeth,
these, however, were not of proportionate magnitude ; but the
person who found them (W. S. Schofield), assured me that he
had also discovered another tooth, similar to the rest, but con-
siderably larger, which had been clandestinely taken from his
exhibition-room. These remains were discovered, a short time
since, in the swamp near Fort Philip, and the other parts of
the mighty skeleton, are, it is said, in the same part of the
swamp.
On my hinting the probability that these bones might have
belonged to a species of whale, Mr. S. gave me such reasons,
on the authority of an intelligent zoologist, and comparative
anatomist, who was preparing to give the world a description
of them, as convinced me, that my conjecture was without
foundation. I offered a considerable sum for these immense
remains, but the proprietor refused to part with them, assuring
me that it was his intention to procure the remainder of them,
and then take them to Europe.
On the 3rd of April we left New Orleans, in the beautiful
xii JOURNEY FROM
steam-boat George Washington, of 375 tons, built at Cin-
cinnati, and certainly the finest fresh-water vessel I had seen.
River boats, like these, possess the advantage of not having to
contend with the ocean storms, as ours have, and are therefore
built in a different manner, having three decks or stories above
water. The accomodations are much larger, and farther re-
moved from the noise, heat, and motion of the machinery ;
wood being the only fuel made use of, they are consequently
not incommoded by the effects of the dense smoke, so annoying
in some of our steam vessels. The accomodations are ex-
cellent, and the cabins furnished in the most superb manner.
None of the sleeping rooms have more than two beds. The
principal are on the upper story, and a gallery and verandah ex-
tends entirely round the vessel, affording ample space for
exercise, sheltered from sun and rain, and commanding,
from its height, a fine view of the surrounding scenery,
without being incommoded by the noise of the crew passing
overhead. The meals furnished in these vessels are excellent,
and served in a superior style. The ladies have a separate
cabin, with female attendants, and laundresses ; there are,
also, a circulating library, a smoking and drinking room for
the gentlemen, with numerous offices for servants, &c. &c.
They generally stop twice a day to take in wood for the
engine, when fresh milk and other necessities are procured,
and the passengers may land for a short time. The voyage
before the introduction of steam, was attended with much risk
and labour, and occupied ninety days, from New Orleans to
Cincinnati, for small vessels ; the same voyage (1600 miles) is
now performed, with the greatest ease and safety, in eleven or
twelve days, against the stream, and the descent between the
above places is done in seven days ; each vessel taking several
hundred passengers, besides her cargo of merchandise. The
rate of travelling is extremely moderate in proportion to the
advantages of the accomodation. We paid about 8l. each
from New Orleans to Louisville (1500 miles), which includes
every expense of living, servants, &c. In ascending this
magnificent river, the Mississippi, of which the Ohio may be
considered a continuation, is navigable for the largest vessels,
at high water, from the Gulf of Mexico to Pittsburgh (2212
miles). The traveller is now enabled, without the least
danger or fatigue, to traverse the otherwise almost impass-
able and trackless wilderness, and wilds, that bound the
western states of America, and this, without leaving his com-

fortable apartment, from the windows of which he can enjoy
the constantly varying scenery, so new to European tra-
vellers.
On leaving New Orleans, in ascending the river, thte
country, still the same continuous flat, is enriched and en-
livened by a succession of pretty houses and plantations, with
each a small negro town near them, as well as the sugar-
houses, gardens, and summer-houses, which give the idea of
wealth and industry. For sixty miles the banks present the
appearance of one continued village, skirted with plantations
of cotton, sugar-cane, and rice, for about two miles from the
river, bounded in the rear, by the uncultivated swamps and
woods. The boat proceeds continually near the shore on one
side or the other, and attracts the inhabitants to the front of
their neat houses, placed amidst orange groves, and shaded with
vines and beautiful evergreens. I was surprised to see the
swarms of children of all colours that issued from these abodes.
In infancy, the progeny of the slave, and that of his master,
seem to know no distinction ; they mix in their sports, and ap-
pear as fond of each other, as the brothers and sisters of one
family ; but in activity, life, joy, and animal spirits, the little
negro, unconscious of his future situation, seems to me to enjoy
more pleasure in this period of his existence, than his pale com-
panions. The sultry climate of Louisiana, perhaps, is more
congenial to the African constitution, than to that of the
European.
The next morning we arrived at Baton Rouge, 127 miles
on our journey ; a pretty little town, on the east side, and
the first rising ground we had seen, being delightfully
situated on a gradual acclivity, from which, is a fine view of
the surrounding flats. The fine barracks close to it, contain
a few companies of troops. We here stopped to take in
some ladies, who continued with us to the end of the voyage.
To this place the leveé, or artificial banks, are continued
on both sides of the river from New Orleans, without which
the land would be continually overflowed. From this to
Natches (232 miles), the country is not interesting, consisting
principally of dense forest and wilderness, impenetrable to the
eye, diversified, however, by the various water fowl which the
passing vessels disturb, in their otherwise solitary haunts, and
by the number of black and gray squirrels leaping from branch
to branch in the trees. The great blue kingfisher, which is
common here, is so tame, as scarcely to move, as the boat passes,
xiv JOURNEY FROM
and we frequently saw, and passed close to large alligators,
wich generally appeared to be asleep, stretched on the half-
floating logs. Several were fired at together, must have been
each upwards of twelve feet long.
Natches is a pleasantly situated town, on rather a steep
hill, about half a mile from the landing place, where are
many stores and public houses. The boat remained here an
hours, and we ascended to the upper town, a considerable
place, with a town-house, and several good streets and well-
furnished shops, in which we purchases some books. This
place exports much cotton, and the planters are said to be
rich. It commands a fine prospect over the river and sur-
rounding country. It has been tried as a summer residence
by come of the inhabitants of New Orleans, but the scourges
of this part of America (fever and ague) extend their revages
for more than 1000 miles higher up. A partial elevation of
ground, in an unhealthy district, has been proved to be more
pernicious, than even the level itself. From hence, to the
junction of the Ohio, there is little to interest the stranger, ex-
cepting the diversity of wood and water. The ground rised in
some places, though with little variety, till you pass the junction
of the Ohio, 1253 miles for the sea. shortly after entering the
Ohio, the country begins to improve ; you perceive the ground
beginning to rise in the distance, and the bank occasionally
to rear into small hills, which show their strata of stone,
and rise into bluffs, projecting into the bends of the river,
shutting it in, so as to produce the effect of sailing on a suc-
cession of the finest lakes, throughmagnificent woods, which
momentarily changed their form, from the rapid motion of our
boats. It was now full moon, and these scenes viewed during
the clear noghts, were indescribably beautiful. The tenth
day brought us to the flourishing commercial town of Louis-
ville, in Kentucky, 1542 miles from the sea, consideres as
second only to Cincinnati, in the western states. It is situated
in the commencement of the health district, but was lately
visited. The streets are spacious and regular, the houses
mostly of brick, and the shops and stores large, and well filled
with merchandise. The falls of the Ohio, which are at this
place, excepting at high water, prevent large vessels from pass-
ing up ; we therefore left the Washington, and embarked in a
smaller vessel, above the falls. On our road up from Shipping-
NEW ORLEANS TO NEW YORK. XV
port, at the foot of the falls, we had an opportunity of examining
the fine canal and locks, now constructing at great expense, to
enable vessels of all dimensions to navigate the river at all
seasons. It is a great work, and calculated to be of consider-
able advantage to this country. We took a hackney coach,
of which there were several in the streets, and proceeded to
view the town, which is much more extensive than it appears.
We visited the museum, an appendage to almost every Ame-
rican town. among the fossil remains, therein, I observed
the perfect skull and horns of a species of eik, which was new
to me. The firing of the bost's gun, the constant singal for
passengers to come on board, obliged us to shorten our survey,
and in a few minuted we were again proceedings up the Ohio
in a steam-boats, with most of our late companions, and many
additional passengers. I must here observe, that the society in
the steam-boats is generally very pleasant, consisting of well
informed, intelligent people, attentive and obliging to strangers,
readily pointing out to their notice every thing worthy of ob-
servation, or that can contribute to raise their opinion of the
country and its constitution, of which they are, with good
reason, proud. They universally complain of the injustice
done them by English writers, who they say, seem to have
come among them only to misrepresent what little they have
seen of the country, and that, perhaps, like myself, from the
deck of a stean-boat.
On leaving Louisville, the magnificence of the American
rivers and scenery seemed to commence. In no part of the
world, that I have seen, are these surpasses in grandeur, or
variety, every mile affording a perpetual change. The trees
attain here an altitude, and size, unknown in Europe, and
their diversity of form and colour, formed a contrast with the
monotonous green of the wilderness below. Among the snow-
like blossom of the dog-wood, and bright scarlet of the red-
bud, which were conspicuous in the woods that now covered the
sloping banks of the river, the openings between, at in-
tervals, exhibited rich pasture lands with comfortable farm-
houses, surrounded with gardens, orchards, and vineyards,
and convinced the traveller, that he had left the regious of
swamps and marshes, fevers and agues, and arrived at those
of hill and dale, pasturage and health. We now saw greater
numbers of land and water fowl. The beautiful little summer
duck was plentiful--we shot several; andthe black vulture
was occasionally seen. In our passage up the river we had
xvi JOURNEY FROM
not unfrequently seen alligators, but now they entirely dis-
appeared. We now found the cottages comfortably furnished,
and surrounded by small gardens ; the inhabitants possess
numerous hogs and cattle. We passed serveral respectable
dwellings, with luxuriant orchards and vineyards, that an-
nounced our approach to a more cultivated and richer popula-
tion than we had before seen.
When within a mile of Cincinnati; the elegant house and
extensive estate, called Elmwood, the residence of Thomas
D. Carneal, Esq. was pointed out to me, by a gentleman of the
country, as one of the finest residences in that part of America.
Passing the powder-works, and the bridge over the Deer
creek, a few minuted brought us opposite the city, where we
saw the glass-houses, paper-mills, foundries, and other demon-
strations of a flourishing, and rising commercial and manufac-
turing city. It was Easter Sunday, and the landing was
crowded with respectable, well-dressed people. We had only a
minute to view the front of this part of the city, with the steam-
boat landing, and the villages of Newport and Cavington on
the opposite side, befor we were landed, and introduced to
Col. Mack, proprietor of the principal hotel ; an establishment
of order, regularity, and comfort, that would do credit to any
city of Europe. The number and respectability of its guests,
proved at once, the estimation in which it was held in the
country. The dinner-bell summoned us at two o'clock, and
we found an assemblage of about seventy ladies and gentle-
men ; the former at the head of the table, with Mrs. Mack,
while the colonel was on his feet, attending to the wants of
his guests, and seeing that the waiters were attending to
their duty. The dinner was such, that an epicure, from
whatever part of the world he might have arrived, would have
had little cause to complain, as in no part of my travels have I
seen a table spread with more profusion, or better served ;
the only occasion of complaint with an Englishman would
arise from the wnat of warm plates, and a little more time
to have enjoyed the repast, twenty minutes only being
allowed by the industrious habits of this part of America,
for their principal meal. Little wine is used at the dinner-
table ; the guests, being principally merchants, who prefer this
mode of living, to housekeeping, return immediately to their
stores, or counting-houses, with a better relish for business
than is usually found after the enjoyment of the bottle. I
should have stated, that, befor dinner, we underweent the un-

deviating ceremony of introduction to the principal guests,
who were assembled in the drawing-room. In no part of the
old Continent that I have visited, are strangers treated with
more attention, politeness, and respect, than in Cincinnati ;
and where, indeed, can an Englishman forget that he is not at
home, except in the United States? In most other regions,
he must forego many early habits, prejudices, and propen-
sities, and accommodate himself to others, perhaps, diame-
trically opposite ; he must disguise or conceal his religious
or political opinions ; must forget his native language, and
acquire fluency in another, before he can make even his wants
known, or his wishes understood ; but here the same language
and fashion, as in his own, prevail in every state ; indeed it is
necessary for him to declare himself a foreigner, to be known
as such ; and I have always found this declaration a passport to
increased attention and kindness, for every man in this land
of freedom enjoys his opinions unmolested. Not having the
slightest intention of stopping at any town on my way to
New York, I was without any introductions ; but this de-
ficiency, by no means prevented my receiving the usual benefit
of the hospitality of the inhabitants, which was such, as to in-
duce us, at first, to remain a few days, and ultimately, pro-
bably, to end our lives with them.
My first ramble on the morning after my arrival was to
the market, at an early hour, where a novel and interesting
sight presented itself. Several hundred waggons, tilted with
white canvass, and each drawn by three or four horses, with a
pole, in a similar manner to our coaches, were backed against
the pavement, or footway, of the market-place, the tailboard,
or flap of the waggon, turned down, so as to form a kind of
counter, and convert the body of the carringe into a portable
shop, in which were seated the owners, amidst the displayed
produce of their farms ; the whole having something of the
appearance of an extensive encampment, arranged in perfect
order. It was the first time I had seen an American market,
and if I was surprised at the arrangement, I was much more
so, at the prices of the articles, as well as at their superior
quality. For a hind quarter of mutton, thirteen-pence was
demanded ; a turkey, that would have borne a comparison
with the best Christmas bird from Norfolk, the same price ;
fowls, three-pence to four-pence each ; a fine roasting pig,
ready for the spit, one shilling and three-pence ; beef, three-
halfpence per pound ; pork, one penny per pound ; butter,

advantages of its local situation, and the introduction of steam
power. To these may be added, its extremely healthy site, and
salubrity of climate (not an instance of fever, or ague, being
there known) ; the richness of its soil, the overflowing plenty,
and unparalleled cheapness of the necessaries, as well as the
luxuries of life ; the industry, the kindness and urbanity of its
inhabitants to strangers ; the benefits derived from its public
institutions, and the excellent society it affords, from the liberty
and freedom of opinion being enjoyed under its mild govern-
ment ; from the empolyment given to industry and labour ;
and from the interest derived from capital, which is here in-
creased to treble what it is in Europe, whilst the expense of
living is not one-third of what it is there, and taxes are scarcely
felt. All these advantages considered, I know of no place that
bears comparison with Cincinnati. Impressed by so many in-
viting circumstances, all conspiring to the favourite object of
my pursuit, I determined to collect my family together, and
make this rising city my permanent abode.
A few days afterwards we were invited to spend a day at
Elmwood, the house of Thomas D. Carneal, Esq., a member
of the Kentucky legislature, whose residence I mentioned,
on our arrival at Cincinati. The estate, or farm, as it is
here called, consists of about 1000 acres, part of which is
as fine arable land as ever was ploughed, and part rich
pasture land. It commences nearly opposite the town, on
the Kentucky side, stretches about two miles and a half
along the banks of the Ohio, and is about eight miles in cir-
cumference. It is scarcely possible to find a more beacutiful,
fertile, or healthy spot. A ride round its boundaries, em-
braces every variety of landscape. Its general feature is level,
gently rising from the river into undulatory hill and valley,
resembling the finest part of the county of Devon, excepting,
that the portion farthest from the river is clothed with woods,
to which, from the size of the trees, their beauty, and variety,
nothing in Europe can compare. The prospect from the hill
and house, over this part ofthe valley of Ohio, the noble reiver
winding through it, enlivened by the passing steam-boats,
with colours waving, and signal guns echoing from the sur-
rounding hills ; its floating arks, laden with stores for the
settlers on the shores, besides the sailing and fishing boats ;
on one side of the river, the beautiful rising city, with domes,
pinnacles, public buildings and manufactories, and on the other
bank, the villages of Newport and Cavington ; together form
XX JOURNAL FROM
such a view, as would require a much able pen than mine to
do justice to.
Mr. Carneal, who is a considerable landholder, selected
this desirable spot for his abode, and, at considerable expense,
about six years since, erected the elegant mansionhe now re-
sides in. It is considered the completest residence in the
country, and built of stone and brick, after his own designs,
with three handsome fronts. The lofty apartments, which
it contains, in point of beauty of convenience, are surpassed
by few, even in the Atlantic cities, as no expense was spared
for its completion. It is surrounded by every requisite for a
gentleman's country-house, domestics' houses, barns, stables,
coach-house, ice-house, dairy, &c. &c.
I have not, since I left England, seen a house so completely
furnished with all the elegancies and refinements of society,
nor a more hospitable and abundant board, which is wholly
supplied from his own grounds. Better beef and mutton
could not be desired. Game is so plentiful, that it is easily
and abundantly procured within half a mile of the house.
Fish of the finest kinds, in great variety, are taken in the
Ohio, within a still shorter distance, and kept alive in pens
on the banks, and a well-stored kitchen-garden, orchard, and
vineyard, of twenty-five acres, planted with all the best ve-
getables, and fruit of the United States, contribute to the
general stock ; in short, every necessary and luxury of life,
excepting tea and coffee, is produced on the estate. The house
is situated on a gentle acclivity, about 150 yards from the
river, with beautiful pleasure grounds in front, laid out with
taste, and decorated with varieties of magnificent plants, and
flowers, to which we are yet strangers ; it commands a full
view of the river, and all that passes on it. A more desirable
spot for a family residence, perhaps, is scarcely to be found.
The great variety of beautiful birds that are found here,
much enliven the scene. The first night I passed in this
elegant retreat, the mocking-bird, with its lucid, ever-varying
notes, continuing until dawn, kept me awake for some time
with its melody ; and in the morning, ere sunrise, the red-
bird, or Virginian nightingale, was chanting his morning
hymn, close to my bed-room window. It continued so long,
that I suspected, what proved to be the case, its nest and
young were concealed in the honeysuckle on which he was
singing. Another variety of honeysuckle in front of the house,
within ten feet of the door, was the constant resort of the ruby-
NEW ORLEANS TO NEW YORK. xxi
throated humming birds, one of the smallest of that diminutive
family, whose various evolutions, performed with the quick-
ness of light, the eye finds it difficult to follow. The beautiful
blue jay is so common, as to be troublesome. The orange and
black oriole, that makes the remarkable pendant nest, is here
by no means scarce ; its note is charming. Several varieties
of woodpecker are seen close to the house, and wild ducks were
hourly of the horse-pond, whilst the farm-yard abounds with
wild pigeon, as tame as our domestic ones ; and the quail,
nearly as large as our partridge, swarmed in the gardens,
orchards, and pleasure grounds. The children of the family
had their pet tame deer ; and a pair of the gigantic eik, or
wappetti (nearly the size of horses), ranged through the mea-
dows, and returned to the house, at milking-hours, with the
cows. A few weeks before, Mr. Carneal had parted with a
pair of American buffaloes, or Bonassus, which he had kept
for some time, for the purpose of improving his breed of draft
cattle.
Shortly after my return from Elmwood, I was informed
that Mr. Carneal was on the point of changing his residence,
and that the whole would be sold. I could not resist the
temptation of knowing the price, and, after a few days
consideration, I became the purchaser.
I now went to reside as a visitor with Mr. C., and remained
a fortnight in examining the property, and every day became
more satisfied with my acquisition. I found on it, every re-
quisite for building; the finest timber, abundance of stone
and lime, with gravel, sand, clay, &c. It appeared to me,
that a finer site for building a small town of retirement, in
the vicinity of a populous mannfacturing city, could scarcely
exist. I made a little model of the land, and determined to
have it laid out to the best possible advantage,with profes-
sional assistance, on my arrival in England, and prepared to
return home to collect my family, and those of my friends,
whose limited incomes made such a removal as I contem-
plated convenient, and, on June 2, took my departure in a
stage, that had just commenced running on a new road to
Sandusky, on Lake Erie. The distance is 200 miles ; but in
consequence of the rain, which had been considerable, the
road naturally bad and new, was worse than usual, and it
took us four days to perform it. This was the only part of
the journey through American (2400 miles) that we travelled
by land. We passed, in many places, through fine cul-
xxii JOURNAL FROM
tivated lands, with neat little towns and villages ; but the
greater part lay throught a new country of dense forest,
where the axe had scarcely cleared a sufficient passage for
the coach. At one place, where we were to spend the
night, the establishment was only three weeks old ; in that
time, the family, who had come some distance, had erected
three log-houses, and placed their furniture and effects
therein ; yet, our entertainment was by no means bad. The
poor hostess, who never had so muh company under her
roof, did all in her power to make us comfortable ; and our
party, which consisted of eight persons, three of whom were
ladies, were in perfect good humour, notwithstanding their
new situation. When we arrived at the latter end of our
journey, we saw some fine lands destitute of woods, but inter-
spersed with small clumps, resembling those in some of the
parks of our nobility ; they were the reserved possessions of the
Indians, when they sold the adjoining country to the commis-
sioners of the United States. We wished to have entered
some of their houses, which were well built, with sash win-
dows and shingle roofs, but were told, that in general they
avoided receiving the visits of white strangers. Many of them
were wealthy, as appeared from their fine cultivated fields, and
large herds of cattle and horses. Near one village, we met a
young Indian driving a handsome waggon, drawn by four re-
markably fine oxen, which would have done credit to any En-
glish gentleman ; the youth was well dressed, and passed our
carriage with a look that sufficiently marked his consequence.
In the course of the day we saw near the road several
wild turkeys, whose splendid plumage, glittering in the sun,
far excelled in appearance those of the domestic ones. We
also conversed with several Indians, some of whom were on
horseback, armed with rifles ; they were civil, and seemed
pleased at the notice we took of them. A squaw, with her son
behind her, accompained us some miles. Her dress was a loose
blue cloth coat, with scarlet pantaloons, black beaver hat and
feathers, and her face was painted bright red. We arrived at
Sandusky in the evening, and found a steam-boat just starting
for Buffalo ; but being told another would arrive, during the
night, we preferred waiting for it, and were disappointed, as
it passed by, without entering the harbour ; and as no other
was expected for some days, we took our passage on the fol-
lowing evening, in a sailing schooner, which brought us in
three days to Buffalo, a distance we should have performed in

The collection documents the travels of the first Europeans to enter the trans-Appalachian West, the maps tracing their explorations, their relations with Native Americans, and their theories about the region's mounds and other ancient earthworks. Naturalists and other scientists describe Western bird life and bones of prehistoric animals. Books and letters document the new settlers' migration and acquisition of land, navigation down the Ohio River, planting of crops, and trade in tobacco, horses, and whiskey.<br /><br />The First American West: The Ohio River Valley, 1750-1820 consists of 15,000 pages of original historical material documenting the land, peoples, exploration, and transformation of the trans-Appalachian West from the mid-eighteenth to the early nineteenth century.

Description
An account of the resource
Drawing from many historical collections at the Filson Historical Society, First American West incorporates maps, diaries, letters, ledgers, and objects. The collection documents the travels of the first Europeans to enter the trans-Appalachian West, the maps tracing their explorations, their relations with Native Americans, and their theories about the region's mounds and other ancient earthworks. Naturalists and other scientists describe Western bird life and bones of prehistoric animals. Books and letters document the new settlers' migration and acquisition of land, navigation down the Ohio River, planting of crops, and trade in tobacco, horses, and whiskey.<br /><br />The First American West: The Ohio River Valley, 1750-1820 consists of 15,000 pages of original historical material documenting the land, peoples, exploration, and transformation of the trans-Appalachian West from the mid-eighteenth to the early nineteenth century.

Description
An account of the resource
Drawing from many historical collections at the Filson Historical Society, First American West incorporates maps, diaries, letters, ledgers, and objects. The collection documents the travels of the first Europeans to enter the trans-Appalachian West, the maps tracing their explorations, their relations with Native Americans, and their theories about the region's mounds and other ancient earthworks. Naturalists and other scientists describe Western bird life and bones of prehistoric animals. Books and letters document the new settlers' migration and acquisition of land, navigation down the Ohio River, planting of crops, and trade in tobacco, horses, and whiskey.<br /><br />The First American West: The Ohio River Valley, 1750-1820 consists of 15,000 pages of original historical material documenting the land, peoples, exploration, and transformation of the trans-Appalachian West from the mid-eighteenth to the early nineteenth century.

REPORTT
Of a Committee of the Senate of Kentucky, to which was referred that
part of the Governor's Message relating to the decisions and jurisdic-
tion of the Federal Courts.
December 6, 1824 Read, and ordered to be printed.
The committee to whom was referred so much of the Governor's
message as relates to the decision of the Supreme Court against
the validity of the Occupying Claimant Laws of this State, and to
the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts, have had the same under
consideration, and herewith report the following preambles and
resolutions, which they recommend to be adopted, viz.
The General assemby, at its last session, remonstrated to the
Congress of the United States, against the principles attempted to
be established by a minority of the Supreme Court, in the case of
Green and Biddle, vacating our Occupant Lawa, decided at their
preceding term. The Senators and Representative from this
State promptly presented the remonstrance and documents to that
body, and as early as practicable, pressed the subject on their
consideration. Congress was crowded with important national
subjects of immediate concern, and the session was drawing to a
close ; yet the complaint of Kentucky was taken up in both houses,
and strong indications were given, that her cause was considered
the cause of every other State, and that every underviating repub-
lican and inflexible defender of the true principlesof our Federal
Union, would not only be found in the support of the propositions
contained in the Remonstrance, but also of such other changes
and reforms in the Judicial Department of the National Govern-
ment, as may be necessary to defend the States from the further
encroachments of that powerful tribunal.
It is unnecessary for the present General Assembly to add any
thing to the unanswered, and, it is believed, unanswerable argu-
ments against the opinion of the Court, contained in the petition
of Messars. Rowan and Clay, accompanying the remonstrance, if,
indeed, aught could be added, to make the error of the Court
more palpable; and whether they consult their own judgment,
the sentiments of the people of Kentucky, or the indications in
Congress of the United States, it would seem equally superfluous
to add any thing to the remonstrance itself, for the purpose of
vidicating the justices, the policy, and the necessity of the course
which the General Assembly has pursued, to vindicate the insulted
rights of their State and their constituents. Kentucky could not
make more evident, the wrongs she hasendured, and the claim
she has upon the Congress of the Union, for ample security against
future sufferings and degradation.
But it cannot be disguised, that great efforts have been made
and extensive means employed, by those who substantially main-
tain the supremacy of the Federal Judiciary, and whose interests
have been advanced by the decrees of the Court, to impress upon
the national government and our sister States, that the people of
Kentucky have and feel but an inconsiderable interest in the occu-
pant laws thus attempted to be repealed, and are ready to surrender
them, as unjust in principle, and repugnant to the compact with
our parent State ; that they are not opposed to the general princi-
ples attempted to be established by that tribunal, and entertain no
apprehensions from the application and extension of the de-
grading doctrines in that and other opinions asserted ; that they
are ready to yield whatever the Judges may demand ; that the
measures of the last session were but the effect of a temporary agi-
tation in the public mind, and a rebellious spirit in the General
Assembly, which had spent themselves in the effervescence of the
moment, and left the State in a disposition to abandon the ques-
tion, and quietly to submit to the unconstitutional mandates of
judicial authority. Hence, it is deemed not only politic, but ne-
cessary, for the present General Assembly emphatically to de-
clare, that on this subject they fully accord with the sentiments
expressed in the remonstrance of last session, and by the Gover-
nor in his enlightened communication at the commencement of
the present session, and that, in their opinion, the same sentiments
are entertained by the great body of the people of Kentucky.
They have always believed, and do now believe, that the occu-
pant laws attempted to be vacated by the Court, violated no prin-
ciple either of constitutional or moral law, and are entirely consis-
tent with the compact with the parent State, and were, at the
time of their enaction, imperiously required by the condition of
the country, and are still essential toits repose. They view the
decision of the Court as not only unconstitutional and erroneous,
but as asserting principles whcih are dangerous to the political lib-
erty of the State, and to the civil liberty of its citizens ; and taken in
connexion with the general tenor of the decisions of that tribunal on
constitutional law, and the spirit which has been displayed by their
adherents, as threatening an annihilation and consolidation of the
States. But the General Assembly and the people of Kentucky
view the reports sent abroad, of their readiness to asquiesce in
3
principles so monstrous, as groundless calumies upon the State
character, and upon the patriotism and firmness of the people,
and calculated to aid in the prostration of State sovereignty, the
main pillar of the Federal Union and American liberty.
It might seem to be incompatible with that confidence with
which Kentucky looks to Congress for redress of the wrongs un-
der which she suffers, to press directly upon that bady a renewal
od her complaints, at so early a period; but viewing the subject of
the remonstrance as not only important to the people of Kentucky,
but involving the very principles of that government under which
the American States are so happily united, the General Assembly
deem it proper, through the immediate representatives of the
State, to urge it on the early attention of the national Legislature,
and to declare, that they consider if does as far transcend, in im-
portance, any other subject which may probably command their at-
tention, as the fundamental principles of the government rise
above the details of its administration : Therefore,
Resolved by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky,
That our Senators in Congress be instructed, and our Representa-
tives requested, to urge upon the early attention of Congress, the
subject of the remonstrance of Kentucky against the decision of
the Supreme Court of the United States annulling the occupying
claimant laws of this State, and employ their best efforts to obtain
the passage of acts of Congress in conformity to the propositions in
the remonstrance contained.
The provisions of the Constitution of the United States in rela-
tion to the Federal Judiciary, and the jurisdiction exercised by
those tribunals, have also been mentioned by the Governor in his
communication. The Constitution provides, "that the judicial
power shall extend to controversies between citizens of different
States, between citizens of the same State claiming lands under
grants from different States, and between the citizens of a State
and the citizens or subjects of a foreign State." It is difficult to
perceive the principle on which it was deemed necessary or poli-
tic, on the mere circumstance of one of the litigants being a citi-
zen or subject of a foreigh State, or of a different State from his ad-
versary, or on the diversity of the sovereignty by whom the land
in contest was granted, to vest the jurisdiction of the cause in the
federal tribunals, unless we presume that it was apprehended the
state courts. at some future day, might become so corrupt or imbe-
cile, as to be incapable of rendering justice according to law, in
any cause in which a citizen of a foreign or sister state might have
an interest adverse to a citizen of the state to which the tribunal
belonged, and become so far lost to a sense of rights, as to deny
justice to even one of their own citizens, on the ground that his
grant emanated from another state. But surely it ought not to
have been believed, that this government, which is founded excla-
4
sively on the virtue and intelligence of the people could long endure
after the people had become so corrupt, as to will, or even tolerate
such abuses of the judiciary, which, like every other department of
their government, must, on the principles of the supermacy of the
people, ever be a correct representation of themselves. But it
cannot be disguised, that there did prevail in the convention, not
only an undue distrust of the states, but a strong disposition to
place them under the control of the federal judiciary. Hence the
provision in the orginal article from which we have quoted, that
subjected a state, contrary to its will, to be arraigned at the bar
of the federal judges at the suit of a citizen, or even that of an
alien. this provision, it is true, was believed to have been ab-
rogated by an amendment proposed by our parent state, and adopt-
ed by the requisite number of the members of the Union. But it
is equally true, that the Supreme Court have determined, by their
constructions, that a vestige of it still remained, and have, upon
its authority, solemnly adjudged, that distinguished state to pass-
ed under their yoke. [Cohens us. State of Virginia, 6 Wheat. 264.]
The General Assembly do, therefore, fully accord with the Ex-
ecutive, in his opinion that this jurisdiction is unnecessarily and
improperly vested; and believing with him, that our state tribunals
may be made competent to the determination of all such contro-
versies, would willingly unite with our sister states in ratifying
amendments to the constitution, to divest the fereral courts of all
such jurisdiction. The Supreme Court have, however, determin-
ed, that they cannot exercise jurisdiction in any case,merely on
the authority of the constitution; but that the jurisdiction must
be given by statute also; [M' Intire and Wood, 7 Cranch 505] and
Congress has, by statute, conferred on them jurisdiction in causes
of the above character. The repeal of the acts of Congress
would, therefore, for the present, remedy the evil. In a proposi-
tion to repeal these acts, it is believed, Kentucky would display
an unanimity seldom witnessed on any question. It was by virtue
of thede acts, that the Circuit Court for the Kentucky district ob-
tained jurisdiction in the case of Green and Biddle, from which it
was adjourned to the Supreme Court, where the occupant laws,
designed to secure the bona fide occupant a fair compensation for
his labor, honestly bestowed on lands granted to him by the Com-
monwealth, and believed to be his own, are attempted to be an-
nulled. If, therefore, those acts of Congress had not been in force,
the decision could never have been given, and if repealed, our
laws may be restored.
These are not, however, the only laws designed to secure jus-
tice to the people of Kentucky, which have been disregarded by
the federal tribunals, in exercising jurisdiction under the act in
question. The Circuit Court for the Kentucky district, have held
for naught, the statute of this state limiting actions for the recov-
6
conveniencies to litigants, by a multiplication of the districts of the
federal court, and thus to carry home the justice of the federal
Judges to the doors of the people. But for this remedy we are
not prepared. We still glory in the part which the representa-
tives of Kentucky took, in the repeal of the wide-spread system
of the federal judiciary, which was established for the abolition of
the rights of the states, and the humiliation of the people. We
are, therefore, for a curtailment of the jurisdiction of the courts;
not for a multiplication of the courts and judges, and an extension
of their patronage and influence: Therefore,
2. Resolved by the authority aforesaid, That our Senators in Con-
gress be instructed, and our Representatives requested, to use
their best efforts to cause and act to pass that body repealing all
statutes now in force, which give the federal courts jurisdiction,
where land is the subject-matter of controversy, merely on account
of the citizenship of the parties, or the states from which the grant
to the land in contest issued.
There is another provision in the judiciary act of Congress, by
which the Supreme Court exercises a jurisdiction to annul and set
aside not only the statutes of the states, but also the decisions of
their courts of justice, which is peculiarly objectionable in its
character. The 25th section of the judiciary act provides, among
other things, "that a final judgment or decree in any suit, in the
highest court of law or equity of a state, in which a decision of the
suit could be had, where is drawn in question the validity of a stat-
ute of, or authority exercised under any state, on the ground of
their being repugnant to the constitution, treaties or laws of the
United States, and the decision is in favor of such, their validity
may be re-examined, and reversed or affirmed, in the Supreme
Court of the United States, upon a writ of error."
That a writ of error is allowed to one party and nto to the oth-
er; that it is given for the purpose of annulting the statute of a state,
after its highest judicial tribunal has declared it constitutional and
valid, and yet denied when the state court has vacated the stat-
ute, is certainly an unequal provision. The case of the decision
of the Court of Appeals on the replevin laws, illustrates this objec-
tion. Had the parties who contended for the validity of these
laws prevailed, their adversaries, who allege that they were re-
pugnant to the constitution of the United States, might have pros-
ecuted their writ of error, and had the decision re-examined and
reversed. But the Court of Appeals having attempted to annual the
laws; the parties who contended for their validity, have no appeal
and, consequently, the decision is fixed upon the state as a prece-
dent for all future time, unless the Judges be driven from office in some
mode. It is not, however, this singular provision in the statute,
which constitutes the main objection. It is by no means conceded,
that Congress had power to provide, that after the highes court
7
of law or equity of a state, in which the case could be heard, had
pronounced its final decision between the parties, the judgment or
decree might be re-examined and reversed in the federal courts.
But it is not necessary to urge the constitutional ogjection. Con-
gress has power to repeal the enactment; [Durousseau us. United
States, 6 Cranch 314] it will, therefore, be suddicient for Kentucky
to unite with the other states in urging upon that body, the other
intrinsci objections and dangerous tendencies of this singular
clause. It might be sufficient to say, that by this short paragraph
the prerogative of understanding and applying the principles of
the federal constitution, is wholly wrested from the states and peo-
ple, by whom it was made, and consigned to a tribunal installed for
life, equally irresponsible to the people and their representatives; that
by vesting this jurisdiction in the Supreme Court, seven men, placed
above all control by the only rightful sovereigns, are made the final
arbiters of the extent of the legislative power of the states, and have
it thereby in their power to degrade them to any character " of
corporation," which may be dictated by their ambitious designs or
capricious fancies.
If it be asked, how could uniformity of construction upon those
articels of the constitution which are prohibitory to the states, be
maintained, if this mode of preserving it be abandoned, it is an-
swered, that this secting does not secure the object. It is only
calculated for a reduction of the power of the states by the Su-
preme Court, where the state judiciaries are not bold enough for
the undertaking, whilst it leaves those states without appeal, who
are willing to become the victims of such decisions by their own
tribunals, as may sink them even below the grade to which the
federal judiciary would consign them; so that the enactment only
affords a double means of reducing the states, without the advan-
tage of uniformity in either the process or result. It would, there-
fore, be surely preferable to leave the state judiciaries controlla-
ble only by the people and their representatives. This would, at
least, avoid the diversity of constitutional law in the same state ;
and to remedy the evils of a contrariety of construction which might
prevail in the different states, it would surely be safer to resort to
explanatory amendments of the constitution, than to leave it whol-
ly in the power of those whom the public will, which is the very
soul of the instrument itself, can never reach. This means of ob-
taining the end, it is belived, would itself have a most advanta-
geous effects. It would produce a continual recurrence to first prin-
ciples, and awaken a vigilance in the public mind, which would
constitute the strongest barries against usurpations from whatever
quarter they might come. These means would produce a perfect
understanding of the restraints which the states have imposed up-
on themselves, which is essential to their obligation, and, it is be-
lieved, would sufficiently secure theirobservance: Wherefore,
8
3. Resolved by the authority aforesaid, That our Senators in Con-
gress be instructed,, and our Representatives requested, to use their
best exertions to procure the repeal of so much of any act of Con-
gress as provides that any judgment or decree of the highest court
of law or equity in any state, in any case in which is drawn in ques-
tion, the validity of any statute of a state, on the ground that it is
repugnant to the constitution of the United States, may be re-
versed in the Supreme Coourt of the United States, by writ of er-
ror or otherwise.
4. Resolved by the authority aforesaid, That the Governor be re-
quested to transmit a copy of the foregoing Preambles and Resolu-
tions to each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress.
