The proposi­ tion was so heartily concurred in by the citizens, when presented by Mr. Gag-e, that in.

" At the meeting of the town, the following vote was passed: "To raise the sum of $300; and the selectmen are instructed to appoint a committee to make an· neces- sary arrangements.

A reply is expected from each person receiving this invitation. ISAAC K. GAGE, N. s. WEBSTER, HENRY H. GERRISH, PETER COFFIN, Committee of Inv£tat£on." It was discovered that the sons and daughters of the town were widely scattered, some in Maine, more in Massachusetts, some in Vermont, others in Con­ necticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Ohio, upon the prairies of Indiana and Illinois, in the far North­ W est, and around the golden gate of the Pacific shore. Many were the responses expressing the intention to be present on this notable occasion, or sincerely regretting that they could not revisit on that day the dear old towns that gave them birth. IO It was apparent that the church would acco1nmo­ date but a small portion of those who signified their intention of being present, and a spacious tent was provided, of area sufficient to shelter several thou­ sand persons. Settees \vere also obtained, that the audience mrght enjoy ,vith comfort the exercises of the day. Citizens ·of Bosca,ven and Webster dispensed lib­ eral hospitality, welcoming from afar their old-time friends. Housewives and maidens gave willing ser­ vice in preparing for the event. Under th·e direction of Prof. John Jackman, the singers of both towns rehearsed choice music during the week preceding the celebration. Natha!}iel S. Webster was appointed president of the ·day, John C. Pearson chief marshal, and Edgar Raymond, George E. Kimball, Roscoe S. Boyce, and Josiah Flanders, assistant marshals.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Party Formation in the United States Adissertationsubmittedinpartialsatisfactionofthe requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Darin Dion DeWitt 2013 c Copyright by Darin Dion DeWitt 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Party Formation in the United States by Darin Dion DeWitt Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Thomas Schwartz, Chair This dissertation is about how political parties formed in the world’s first mass democracy, the United States. I trace the process of party formation from the bottom up. First, I ask: How do individuals become engaged in politics and develop political affiliations? In most states, throughout the antebellum era, the county was the primary unit of political admin- istration and electoral representation. Owing to their small size, contiguity, and economic homogeneity, I expect that each county’s active citizens will form a county-wide governing coalition that organizes and dominates local politics. Second, I ask: Which political actor had incentives to lure county organizations into one coalition? I argue that the institutional rules for electing United States Senators – indirect election by state legislature – induced prospective United States Senators to construct a majority coalition in the state legislature. Drawing on nineteenth century newspapers, I construct a new dataset from the minutes of political meetings in three states between 1820 and 1860. I find that United States Senators created state parties out of homogeneous counties. They encouraged cooperation among county-wide governing coalitions by canvassing annual county political meetings, drafting ii and revising a multi-issue policy platform that had the potential to unite a majority of the state’s county governing coalitions, encouraging individual counties to create county- wide committees of correspondence and vigilance, and, finally, organizing a permanent state central committee and regular state-wide conventions.

First is the prison personnel who seldom receive thanks or commendation for a trying, at times dangerous, job well done, but on whom is heaped all kinds of condemnation for the slight­ est disorder, even though it might have been com­ pletely beyond their power to prevent. Second are those men who have served their sentences, have returned to the ir community, and have become respected, law-abiding citizens.
