They had still a sufficient force for the surprise of a single settlement; and Haverhill, on the Merrimac, was selected for conquest. In the mean time, intelligence of the expedition, greatly exaggerated in point of numbers and object, had reached Boston, and Governor Dudley had despatched troops to the more exposed out posts of the Provinces of Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
To be sure, he was one of a band of negro minstrels, who were to give a concert that night, and he had a light to excel in fashion.

The greatest struggle, however, came five years later, when, on January 21, 1842, Mr. Adams presented the petition of certain citizens of Haverhill, Massachusetts, praying for the dissolution of the Union on account of slavery. His enemies felt that now, at last, he had delivered himself into their hands.
The opposition which they meet with does not dishearten me. In the lofty confidence of John Milton, I believe that "though all the winds of doctrine be let loose upon the earth, so Truth be among them, we need not fear. Let her and Falsehood grapple; whoever knew her to be put to the worst in a free and open encounter?" HAVERHILL, MASS., 29th of 7th Mo., 1833. HAVERHILL, 10th of 1st Mo., 1834.

This was the famous Saco Fort, built by Governor Phips, two years before, just below the falls of the Saco River. The soldiers of the garrison gave the poor fellows a kindly welcome.

I cannot quite make out after the lapse of so many years just how or when I got to Haverhill, or whether it was before or after I had been in Salem. There is an apparitional quality in my presences, at this point or that, in the dim past; but I hope that, for the credit of their order, ghosts are not commonly taken with such trivial things as I was.
