Arguing OriginalIntent in Legislative Debate A significant body of literature has examined how the Framers and rati- fiers of the Constitution 2 subsequently viewed the role of original intent in construing the Constitution. The primary focus of these works is how those views should influence today's courts in deciding controversies. 3 A less de- veloped question, however, is how members of the First Congress employed originalist constitutional arguments in making and debating proposed stat- utes.4 This study seeks to contribute to that exploration, not by discussing what the Founders believed about using originalist arguments, but by examin- ing the record of the First Federalist Congress to determine what originalist 5 arguments its members actually made. 1.

During the period of con- struction, temporary quarters were secured at 414 Harvard Street. The new building stands upon the site of the old building which the Club had occupied since the year 1833. In order to celebrate in an appropriate manner the comple- tion of the work and the Centennial Anniversary of the Founding of the Porcellian Club, a committee, consisting of the Building Committee and the officers of the Club, was chosen.

The Committee has prepared this volume con- taining the Literary Exercises, a brief account of the Din- ner, and a catalogue of the members of the Club to date. A full account of the Annual Meeting and the Dinner may be found in the Club records. The thanks of the Committee and of the Club are due to Brothers Honorary Sargent, Isham, and Chapman for their contribution towards the success of the Exercises Literary ; also to Brother Honorary Hazeltine for his interest in pre- PREFATORY paring the plates for the memorial programme; also to Brother Honorary Painter for revising the Club Catalogue.

LOWELL, MASS: PRINTED BY STONE & HUSK. 1872. TS ya 7^ .C 7/I17 l?7l Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1871, by ROBERT B. CAVERLY, In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. OHOCOKUA IS SLAIN. And ever since, from then to this, Not a breath of hope, nor breeze of bliss, Hath moved the woods of Burton. XX. Dark shadows came to chase the sun, The Indian hunter’s day was done, And the wood-lands wild were sighing; ’Tvwis then a shaft his heart had broken, Vengeance! the eternal fates betoken; Chocorua is dying. XXI. On that dread night and hitherto, The heavens let fall malarious dew, Far down these murky mountains; Not a flower in all the waste is known, The maple leaf is dry, half-grown, And death is in the fountains. 15 THE BRIDE OF BURTON. XXII. The moping owl hath ceased to hoot, The scrub oak falters at the root, And the snail is lank and weary; The fated fawn hath found his bed, Huge hawks, high flying, drop down dead Above that apex dreary. XXIII. Faded, the vales no fruits adorn, The hills are pale with poisoned corn, The flocks are lean, repining; No growth the panting pastures yield, And the staggering cattle roam the field, Forlorn, in death declining. XXIV. ’Tis thus we’re made the slaves of earth, Mope in miasmas, deep in dearth, Sad, from some bad beginning; 16 THEY COME IN THE CLOUDS.
