Excerpt from Historical Sketches of Dunstable, Mass AS I did, in my answer to the call given me to settle as a gospel minister in this place, bring to your view the impropriety of making the stipulation between a people and their minister a matter of pecuniary speculation, and as you complied with it, I ever thought that we were bound on both sides never to do any such thing. I do, therefore, now most solemnly record my protest against it. But conceiving it to be the duty of a people and their minister to be always helpful to each other under all difficulties and embarrassments, to perform this duty, therefore, toward you, now laboring under apprehen sions of embarrassments, I propose to you that provided the said Act of the General Court above mentioned, shall not be repealed, but be put in execution to your damage, so that your ministerial taxes shall be increased thereby upon the valuation of your estates, and provided there shall be a majority of the town, who will attend the public worship of God with the Congregational Church of Christ, as heretofore done in the house now built for that purpose, under the regular administration thereof, which, by Divine Providence, shall be provided, I will relinquish so much of my salary for the present year, as the increase upon their ministerial taxes shall be. The year to begin the Ist of March, 1811, and end the Ist of March, 1812. That no encouragement be taken herefrom to the damage of the town, I reserve the consideration of any relinquishment in future years, to my own judgment of the circumstances which may then exist.

(Excerpt from Speech of Hon.: George B. Loring, Upon the R...)
Excerpt from Speech of Hon.: George B. Loring, Upon the Resolutions of the State of the Union Mr. Speaker -the resolutions which I had the honor, as Chairman of the Committee on Federal Relations on the part of the House, to submit, have already perhaps occupied more time than should be taken from that allotted to business, by a body whose sole power consists in expressing an opinion upon a matter, the final adjustment of which belongs to the Federal Government. I did not intend to enlarge upon them, feeling that it would be unnecessary to defend here in Massachusetts those great principles of human freedom which were declared by her sons more than a century ago - which have guided her policy throughout her political history - and for the defense of which she rushed to arms, foremost among those who rallied round the Flag of the Union. But the extent of the discus sion, and the cool and deliberate stabs which, under the cover of devotion to the Constitution, humanity has received in this House, have induced me to reconsider my determination, and to ask the indulgence of the House, while I express what I conceive to be the meaning of the resolutions.

agriculturist physician politician
George Bailey Loring was born on November 8, 1817 at North Andover, Massachusetts, United States, the son of Bailey and Sally Pickman Osgood Loring and a descendant of Thomas Loring who emigrated to Hingham, Massachusetts, in 1634.
Loring attended Franklin Academy at North Andover and graduated from Harvard College in 1838, a classmate of James Russell Lowell. Four years later the Harvard Medical School awarded him the degree of Doctor of Medicine.
Loring practiced medicine for a short time in North Andover. In 1843 he became a surgeon at the Marine Hospital at Chelsea, Massachusetts. During his seven years of service in that institution he made an impression sufficient to win an appointment as commissioner to revise the marine hospital system of the United States. He left the hospital, however, in 1850, removed in 1851 to Salem, Massachusetts, and thereafter devoted himself to agriculture and politics.
He developed a stock farm which became widely known as "Loring Manor. " He speedily made himself sufficiently useful in the Democratic party to receive the postmastership of Salem from the Pierce administration and held the office from 1853 to 1857. After this first step he skilfully made his two new interests play complementary roles in furthering his personal advancement. In 1856 Loring attended the National Democratic Convention as a member of the Massachusetts delegation. After 1861 he allied himself with the War Democrats. In a Fourth of July oration at Salem in 1862 he rejoiced that "all our desire is manifested in the Flag which we still call our own, and from which no star has been stricken by hand of ours. " After this speech he steadily developed into a popular orator. His tall robust figure, his handsome face, and his dignified manner made him a notable figure at public gatherings. His oratory, as over-decorated as a Victorian interior, pleased the New England taste of his day. He never championed unpopular causes, and his orations--which he was careful to have printed--reflected the religious and political conservatism of his times.
In 1864, chafing, perhaps, under the disadvantages of being a Northern Democrat in the changed situation brought about by the war, he publicly renounced his allegiance to his old party and became a Republican. The change of standards proved almost immediately advantageous. He served in 1866-1867 as a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives. He was chairman of the Republican state committee (1869 - 1876) and was a delegate to the national conventions of that party in 1868, 1872, and 1876. He was president of the state Senate from 1873 to 1876 and representative in Congress for the next four years. When his constituency recalled him from Washington in the election of 1880, President Garfield saved his political fortunes by selecting him in 1881 for commissioner of agriculture, a post which he held until the inauguration of Cleveland.
Garfield's choice was excellent. Loring was sincerely interested in agriculture and was an intelligent leader in the contemporary efforts to improve husbandry, taking care, however, that his activities should aid in making him conspicuous. He served on the on the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture by appointment of the governor in the years 1888-1890. In this capacity he did much to further the interests of the recently established Massachusetts Agricultural College and lectured on stock-farming in that institution from 1869 to 1872.
He published in 1876 The Farm-Yard Club of Jotham, a curious volume intended to popularize discussions of agricultural subjects. The book is in part a loose narrative characterized by a somewhat sugary sentimentality and gives a romanticized picture of the rural life that Loring knew. The story is constantly interrupted by sensible essays on many aspects of husbandry presented in the guise of papers read before the Farm-Yard Club. Late in life Loring disclosed even more intimately than in the volume of 1876 his attitude toward agriculture. He wrote, among other things, A Vindication of General Samuel Holden Parsons against Charges of Treasonable Correspondence During the Revolutionary War (1888). In 1889-1890 he tried his hand at diplomacy when he served as minister to Portugal under appointment by President Benjamin Harrison. His rambling travelogue, A Year in Portugal, was published in the year of his death, 1891.

Loring was a member of the Democratic Party but in 1864 he publicly renounced his allegiance to his old party and became a Republican.
Loring, like his good friend Louis Agassiz, rejected Darwinism with "scorn and contempt. "
From 1860 to 1877 Loring represented the Essex Agricultural Society on the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture. He also served as president of the New England Agricultural Society from 1864 to 1889.
Loring was twice married: on November 6, 1851, to Mary Toppan Pickman, who died in 1878; and on June 10, 1880, to Anna (Smith) Hildreth, the widow of Charles H. Hildreth.
