He had a strong taste for studies of that kind, and sometimes used to lament that his daily drudgery afforded him no leisure to compose a work on caloric, which subject he had thoroughly investigated. In January, 1836, I became, and continued for a few months, an inmate of Mr. Fessenden's family. It was my first acquaintance with him.
And the honest, staring youth comes forward to see what is wanted. This unexpected response rather pricks the wind-bag of the man's zeal. He looks curiously at the boy, who follows him out of the house. "Stephen, did you ever see that fellow before?" "Yes, Sir; he's the one come to our house Saturday night, and I showed round to the Judge's." "Are you the fellow?" "Yes," says Fessenden's.
Stopping but to throw down the fence, at the word Fessenden's whole line ran across the field to the foot of the hill. There the brigade quickly re-formed for the ascent, and then, with Fessenden at the head, charged stiffly up the difficult slope straight in the teeth of the hot fire of Bee's dismounted troopers.
Joe and his great-grandfather carried each a pair of pullets, in their hands. Mr. Williams transported more poultry, turkeys and hens, in two great flopping clusters, slung over his shoulder, with their heads down. The women bore crockery and other frangible articles, and helped Fessenden's drive the cow. A picturesque procession, not noiseless!
You wouldn't have me, so they took me, and dried me, and fed me, good folks, niggers!" Fessenden's bore this simple testimony. What is it makes the Frisbie color heighten so? Is it Gentleman Bill's quiet smile, as he stands by and hears this conversation? "And you have been here ever since?" says the man, in a humbler key, and with a milder look, than before. "Yes!
Nor can there be a doubt that the administration would gladly have purchased the pen of so popular a writer. I have gained hardly any information of Mr. Fessenden's life between the years 1807 and 1812; at which latter period, and probably some time previous, he was settled at the village of Bellows Falls, on Connecticut River, in the practice of the law.
O pride and hatred! with what madness can you inspire a mortal man! O Fessenden's! bless thy stars that thou art not the only fool alive this day, nor the greatest! Fessenden's walked alone to the funeral, talking by himself, and now and then laughing. Gentleman Bill thought his conduct indecorous, and reproved him for it. "Gracious!" said the lad, "don't you see who I'm talkin' with?"
General Fessenden's testimony, given above, shows that the army marched during the night of the 9th, and continued to Grand Ecore, where it intrenched; and General A.L. Lee's, that the main army joined him at that place on the evening of the 10th.
"What man? My man?" "Yes," said honest Fessenden's; "he said he'd be damned if he'd have a nigger's critters along with his'n!" "Then we'll afford him an early opportunity to be damned," observed the Judge. "Drive them back again. I'll go with you. By the way, Mr.
There was a long debate on the question, but the argument submitted by Mr. Fessenden was never refuted by his opponents, and it was practically repeated by every one who concurred in his general views. Mr. Stockton made an able presentation of his own case, perhaps better than any made for him, but he was never able to evade the point of Mr. Fessenden's argument, or even to dull it.
