Boston, Nov, 22, 1830.
Sir: You have been apprised al
ready that a number of the citizens
of Boston, had it in contemplation to
present you with some testimonial of
their respect and gratitude for the e
minent services rendered to the cause
of civil and religious liberty on sever
al interesting occasions in the Con
gress of the United States, particu
larly in relation to the Sunday mail
question. The slight token* of our
,tok now ledgemc at of those services
which accompanies this, isrpresented
<ot as vain and ostentatious offering,
i nut as a simple memorial which may
hereafter remind you of tiro high
consideration in which your compa
triots, so far removed from the
scene of your useful labours, have
held them. The committee appoint
ed for the purpose of carrying into
effect the objects referred to, in be
half of the subscribers, take this oc
casion to express to you their unqua
lified concurrence and approbation
of the course you have pursued, and
of the sentiments you have so elo
quently embodied.
The ceaseless and untiring efforts
made by the partisans of bigotry and
intolerance, sometimes openly, but
more often covertly, to enlarge their
empire over the human mind, re
quire an eternal vigilance to counter
act their insiduous designs. Our
fair fabrics of Government have
nothing to fear from the violent as
saults of open enemies; much more
is to he apprehended from the secret
j underminings of priestcraft, and the
! consequent establishment of ecelesi
| astical supremacy. Whenever their
inquisitorial empire gets footing a
tnongus, farewell to our free institu
tions. The only distinction which
will then exist among us will be be
tween the oppressor and the oppress
ed. The late attempt upon the li
berties of fh6 people by the pretend
ed followers of him whose kingdom
; is not of this world, was at one grasp
to seize upon one seventh of its tem
poral sovereignty! If they had suc
ceeded in tiris first attempt, the time
would not he far distant, When the
remainder would have been swallow
ed up. The trammels which ages
of ignorance and superstition have
thrown around the human mind, will
not be loosened by those who are
interested to draw them still tighter.
When were the burdens of society
relieved by the bigoted sectarian ?
Instead of using their ample means
to introduce improvements in the
arts, in philosophy, in agriculture, in
science, all their energies are em
ployed in imposing new restrictions
and in forging new chains,
You have nobly placed yourself
upon one of the watch towers of lib
erty and given the alarm; and the
enemies of the equal rights of man
have fled to their hiding places.—
You have, indeed rendered impor
tant serv ices to your fellow men, ac
ceptable, no doubt to him who “at
tributes holiness to time nor place.”
Permit us, in behalf of those who
have deputed us to perform this
grateful duty, to subreribe ourselves,
with the highest respect and consid
eration, respectfully,
Wm, Foster, Sami. J, Lewis,
Sanil. Dexter, DaLD.Brodhead
Parker 11. Pierce, Benj. 11. Norton.

MV Dear Sir: It affords me
great pleasure to lie made the medi
um of presenting for your acceptance
a splendid token of the high estima
tion in which you and your services
are held by your eastern friends. I
am aware that it is intended by the
donors, nQrc particularly as a mark
of their approval of the position you
assumed in relcTtion to an important
subject recently agitated inCongress,
(that of the Sunday mails) and the
signal ability with which you main
tained it—a position which indicated
you as tiie object of renewed attack
to partisan opponents, encouraged
.as they were by the sincere but mis
guided zeal of many good and .pious
Id CR,
i It should, perhaps, be Understood,
that this present is not an expression
of approhutiob from a few individu
als merely, but that each subscriber
was limited in his donation for this
object to a small sum. Tiie fact,
also, that gentlemen of all parties,
and many religious denominations,
united in contributing their specific
mite towards this testimonial of their
regard, must he as gratifying to
you as it is honorable to both parties;
and will Serve as an additional Evi
dence to the one already before the
world, of the repugnance generally
felt by all classes in our country to
legislative interference of- any kind,
and under any form with the rights

lof conscience aud the sacred institu
lions of religion. And it is a source
of pleasure to your many friends’
that while as a legislator, you have
conclusively shown the established
usages of the Department in relation
to this subject, to be more beneficial
to the public, and less productive of
moral evil than any suggested change
Would render them, you have still
treated with the proper deference of 1
a Christian and gentleman, the mo.
tives of well meaning anti conscien
tious innovators. In conclusion,
permit me to say, that the fearless
ness and ability with which, at all
times, and under all circumstances,
on the field of battle, and in the halls
of legislation, you have defended the
honor and interest of your country,
have won for you tiro affection and
admiration of your Jellovv citizens}
and no one has a deeper feeling of
those sentiments for your person and
character, than your friend and ser
vant, JOHN BRODIIEAD.
Hon. R. M. Johoson.
Washington City, March 1,1831.
Dear Sir: Permit me to present
through you my greatest acknowl
edgements to the citizens of Boston
for the kind expression of their ap
prohution of my public services.
The token of their confidence
committed to your charge, will ever
be regarded by me as a treasure de
riving additional value both from the
source and the medium through
which it is presented. Exalted as
you have been for forty years by a
life of Undeviating piety, growing
out of an unsliaken belief of the gos
pel; and elevated as you arc by the
voice of yoilr country, for your devo
tion to the principles of liberty, I
shall never fail to derive peculiar
satisfaction from the circumstances
that the patriotic citizens of Boston
have selected you as the bearer of
the generous reward of their appro
bation of my conduct in relation to
Sunday mails.
With scntimentsofgrerit reaped
esteem, your friend & fellow-citizen.
RICHARD M. JOHNSON.
Rev. John Brodiiead,
Reprercntative in Congress from
N. H
Washington City, March 1,1831.-
Gentlemen: The present of sil
ver plate which you have honored
me, turough the Rev. Mr. Brodiiead,
has been received as a token of vour
approbation of my public services,
especially the part which it became
my duty to take in relation to the pe
titions concerning Sunday mails.—
Under the instruction of religious
parents I was taught fVom my cra
dle, to venerate the Christian religion,
and to entertain the highest respect
for its professors. A large proporti
on of my fellovV-citizcns who have
called nrc into public life, and honor
ed me with their constant support,
consists of tlie ministers and profes
sors of Christianity, To bo placed
in a situation in which I was compel
led to oppose a measure advocated
by any portion of that community,
however remote from my own imme
diate section of country, was to me
a subject of deep regret. But the
public duty which is paramount to
every consideration of consequcnco,
dictated the course to be pursued.
If u Combination should ever cxistto
deprii a the humblest individual of
the rights of conscience, the first ef
fort, in a country enlightened as our
own, must be’ remote in its immedi
ate hearing from the ultimate ten
dency. Such, in my opinion, was
the measure proposed by the petiti
oners.
If the legislature of the nation
should ever express, by a legislative
enactment, a sentiment Upon the
subject of a holy day, or any other
point purely of a religious character,
the foundation for a religious estab
lishment would be (aid, oil which tbc
supcrsti uctufu would, however gra
dually, yet certainly arise. I could
not believe that such a combination
already exists .i, though an incipicn
measure, presenting the hope of suc
cess, might induce the formation oL
sucii a combination among
who are more ambitious
power should be felt, rhnutraß
love of piety should he
in their lives,
