Quarto and small folio, totaling 40 pages (not including address panels), all very legible with the exception of the last, most with typed transcriptions, and all in very good to fine condition. A collection of 14 letters dating from 6 April 1842 to 4 May 1843, written by Rhode Island landowners who opposed the Dorr Rebellion, during the most intense phase of the uprising. In 1841 Rhode Island lacked a constitution and was still governed under the colonial charter of 1663, which restricted suffrage to men only who owned at least $134 in land. In 1840, nearly 60% of free adult males in Rhode Island were disenfranchised-many of them urbanites, whose numbers had greatly increased with the growth of industry. Thomas W. Dorr, an idealistic Providence attorney who had studied under Chancellor James Kent in New York, pleaded with the Rhode Island General Assembly to call a constitutional convention to address the accumulating grievances. When the ruling conservatives were deaf to reform, Dorr's own party called a constitutional convention in October 1841. In response, the General Assembly called a rival convention and drafted a new constitution that made some concessions to democratic demands. This Freemen's Constitution was defeated in a state-wide referendum, thanks to Dorrite opposition. Meanwhile, the Dorrite convention drafted the People's Constitution, which was overwhelmingly approved in a second referendum. Both the conventions and referendums had been extralegal, but the Dorrites claimed that their Constitution had been approved by a majority of those entitled to vote under the old charter. Early in 1842, both Dorr's followers and the charter government forces elected and organized separate governments, Dorr heading one and incumbent governor Samuel Ward King the other. King requested federal protection from President Tyler. The federal government declined to intervene before any actual violence had occurred, but did order two artillery companies to Fort Adams in Newport. In May, Dorr finally resorted to a show of arms. After an abortive assault on the Providence armory, his government collapsed and Dorr fled the state. King declared martial law, many Dorrites were arrested, and Dorr himself was indicted for high treason. Minor armed clashes and demonstrations caused much excitement. Ultimately the conservatives, finally convinced of the strength of Dorr's cause, called another convention. A new constitution, greatly liberalizing voting requirements, was accepted by both parties. This archive offers a remarkable view of this pivotal moment in Rhode Island history as seen through the eyes of well-born Rhode Islanders who were not at all pleased with the turmoil fomented by Dorr. Welcome Arnold Greene's letters to his cousin, Richard Ray Ward are especially valuable, as they offer a narrative of the events of the spring and summer of 1842 as they unfold. Notable is the extent and duration of the fear that Dorr's adherents would rise up again. Ward's letters to General Winfield Scott, as well as W. A. Greene's appeal to fund a militia, are the letters of participants who fear for their lives and property. From a scholarly perspective, the tone of patrician disdain for the suffrage agitators reinforces Patrick Conley's argument for a strong nativist dimension in the conflict. At issue also is the role of the federal government in the Rhode Island political crisis. At the center of this archive is Welcome Arnold Greene (1795-1870). At an early age he entered the employ of his cousin, Samuel Greene Arnold, a prominent merchant of Providence, and was soon entrusted by him with the responsible position of supercargo. In this capacity he made voyages to South America, Spain, Norway, Russia, and the East. Returning from his voyages, Greene accepted the position of cashier of the Mechanics' National Bank of Providence, which he filled from January 7, 1830, to July 11, 1836, when he resigned and withdrew from active business. He was a member of the Franklin Society for the Encouragement of Domestic Industry, and also of the Rhode Island Historical Society, where he filled several offices and was for years its valued Treasurer. He was also a member of the Society of Friends. His cousin, Richard Ray Ward (1795-1873) was a New York City lawyer. His father was an international merchant who traveled to China and acted as the president of the New York Marine Insurance Company. Ward practiced law in New York City for many years and was also a noted antiquarian. He was an honorary member of the Rhode Island Historical Society from 1823 onwards. Winfield Scott (1786-1866) is the well-known military commander who took part in the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, and the early stages of the Civil War, and was the presidential nominee of the Whig Party in 1852. CONTENTS: 1) Richard Ray Ward to Winfield Scott, 6 April, 1842. Lengthy 4-page A.L.s. on integral leaves. Ward describes a visit to family in Rhode Island and reports on his concern over the agitation for a new constitution extending voting rights. The nativist strain of Dorr's opponents is never more evident than here. Writing of the General Assembly where he has recently spent "several days . in attendance," Ward reports "that they will in some way continue to escape all evil consequences . But they have misled a large body of well-meaning ignorant men who will be very likely to make the attempt to carry the design of their leaders into effect and in doing so come into violent collision with the constitutional authorities." He goes on to say that "the vast manufacturing interests of Rhode Island has swallowed up its commerce while it's agriculture has made but slight advances. Many thousands of floating population now throng the state, some foreigners but principally the more ignorant class fit for factory population from Massachusetts and Connecticut." Complaining of the agitation for a new constitution, Ward asserts "the strangers.compose the.

Quarto and small folio, totaling 40 pages (not including address panels), with the exception of the last, all very legible, most with typed transcriptions, and all in very good to fine condition. In 1841 Rhode Island lacked a constitution and was still governed under the colonial charter of 1663, which restricted suffrage to men only who owned at least $134 in land. Urbanites, whose numbers had greatly increased with the growth of industry, and especially Irish Catholics, were disenfranchised. In fact, in 1840, nearly 60% of free adult males in Rhode Island were disenfranchised. Thomas W. Dorr was an idealistic attorney who had studied under Chancellor James Kent in New York. Dorr practiced in Providence, which was much larger than the town of Newport, but Newport had far superior representation in the General Assembly. Dorr pleaded with the General Assembly to call a constitutional convention to address the accumulating grievances, but as the ruling conservatives were deaf to reform, in October 1841 Dorr's own party called a constitutional convention. In response, the General Assembly called a rival convention which drafted a new constitution known as the Freemen's Constitution, making some concessions to democratic demands. Due to the opposition of the Dorrites, the Freemen's Constitution was defeated in a state-wide referendum. The Dorrite convention drafted the People's Constitution which was overwhelmingly approved in a second referendum. Both the conventions and referendums had been extralegal, but the Dorrites claimed that their Constitution had been approved by a majority of those entitled to vote under the old charter. Early in 1842, both Dorr's followers and the charter government forces elected and organized separate governments, Dorr heading one and Samuel H. King the other. The federal government declined to intervene. In May, Dorr resorted to a show of arms. After an abortive assault on the Providence armory, his government collapsed and Dorr fled the state. King declared martial law, many Dorrites were arrested, and Dorr himself was indicted for high treason. Minor armed clashes and demonstrations caused much excitement. The conservatives, finally convinced of the strength of Dorr's cause, called another convention. A new constitution, greatly liberalizing voting requirements, was accepted by both parties. On its approval by the people in 1843, Dorr returned to Rhode Island, was tried and found guilty, and was sentenced in 1844 to solitary confinement and hard labor for life. The harshness of the sentence was widely condemned and, in 1845 Dorr, broken in health and spirit, was released. His civil rights were restored in 1851, and in 1854, the year he died, the court judgment against him was set aside. As the agitation swelled in 1841, Governor Samuel King informed President Tyler that Rhode Island was subjected to revolutionary activity, and asked the federal government for protection. Tyler advised King that the Constitution of the United States did not invest the president with the power to sanction military force in anticipation of domestic violence. Insurrection had to be actual before protection could be furnished. But the federal government did take several precautionary measures. On April 26 the War Department ordered two artillery companies from Fort Monroe, Virginia, to Fort Columbus to replace the two companies he was sending to Fort Adams in Newport. The Dorrites felt, as one of them wrote, that Rhode Island had succumbed to "the will of John Tyler and the force of his standing army." Dorr sought proof that federal troops had taken part in the defeat of the suffragists, but the most he could show was that Fort Adams had become the strongest garrison on the east coast, but he persisted in the belief that only federal power protected the charter government from complete repudiation. This archive offers a remarkable view of a pivotal moment in Rhode Island history as seen through the eyes of well-born Rh.
