Excerpt from The Contrast, or Plain Reasons Why William Henry Harrison Should Be Elected President of the United States, and Why Martin Van Buren Should Not Be Re-Elected
Because, being the son of one of the illustrious signers of the Declaration, he was taught to cherish its principles in the ancient school of republican Virginia.
Because, While yet a youth, the moment the war-whoop of the savage was heard in the west, he abandoned the ease and security of his profession, to fly to the rescue of his bleeding countrymen.

Excerpt from A Topographical and Historical Sketch of the Town of Andover, in the County of Hillsborough, and State of New-Hampshire
Tun reader cannot expect to find, in the history of so recent a settlement as that of Andover, much to interest his fancy or im prove his mind. It is to the earlier efforts of our pilgrim fathers, that we must look for examples of heroic piety and, perseverance, amid the dangers which su'rroun'de'd them, both of famine and sav age war. There 13 still an inducement to collect the facts in the early history of even the younger towns, from the reflection that so much has been lost in the history of the older. Timely exer. Tions only can preserve for the use of posterity, those particulars concerning events of the present day, which we are all so anx ious to know respecting times of old. With this view, the writer of the following pages has endeavored to bring into a small compass, every material fact. Relating to his native town; and whether they be valuable or not, his satisfaction rests in having rescued from forgetfulness circumstances, which, if not interesting.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Mr. Adams also opposed the bill for taxing the people of Louisiana, on the very principles of the revolution. He could not be made to think that a foreign people, who had just been trans ferred, without their consent, to a new country, could rightfully be taxed until by representation they had a voice in the administration of the government. In these votes Mr. Adams displayed both the wisdom of a statesman, and the principles of a republican for it is a republican maxim, that taxation and representation go together.

Jacob Bailey Moore was an American journalist and historical writer.
Background
Jacob B. Moore was born on October 31, 1797, at Andover, New Hampshire, the son of Jacob Bailey Moore, Sr. and Mary Eaton. His father was a physician whose ancestor, Jonathan Moore, of Scotch origin, had settled in Exeter, New Hampshire, by 1650.
Education
Young Moore was of studious habits, and though without a college education, he acquired considerable knowledge of the classics and was noted for his love of historical reading, for his musical talents, and for his mechanical ingenuity.
In 1813, at the age of sixteen, his father having died, he apprenticed himself to Isaac Hill, owner and editor of the New Hampshire Patriot, at Concord, New Hampshire.
Career
His articles in the newspaper attracted attention, and on January 5, 1819, he became a partner of Hill. In 1823 his business partnership was dissolved owing to differences of political opinion, and he carried on printing, bookselling, and publishing, issuing the first three volumes of the Collections of the New Hampshire Historical Society (1824 - 1832).
Moore was one of the founders of that Society and was elected its first librarian on June 13, 1823, a position he held until 1830, and again from 1837 to 1839.
On September 11, 1826, he published at Concord the first issue of the New Hampshire Journal, supporting John Quincy Adams for a second term in the presidency, while his brother-in-law, Isaac Hill, supported Andrew Jackson in the New Hampshire Patriot.
In 1827 Moore helped to prepare by-laws for the Second Congregational (Unitarian) Church in Concord, organized that year. In 1828 he was elected a member of the New Hampshire Assembly but resigned soon after his election.
He served as sheriff of Merrimack County, New Hampshire, 1828 - 1833, and as justice of the peace, 1825 - 1835.
Moore continued until December 1829 to edit the New Hampshire Journal, which attained a very large circulation throughout New England and was a strong political organ. The downfall of the Adams party in New Hampshire, and the bitter differences of political opinion with his brother-in-law, who in 1836 became governor of New Hampshire, caused him to withdraw from public life in his native state, and although he owned three mills, water rights, and considerable land, he was overwhelmed by financial difficulties and was forced into bankruptcy.
He moved to New York City in 1839 and edited the New York Daily Whig from July 2 of that year to March 18, 1840, in support of William Henry Harrison.
In 1841 President Tyler appointed him a chief clerk in the Post-office Department in Washington, District of Columbia, where he served until 1845, being removed by President Polk upon pressure from the New Hampshire Democrats. For a short time he was inspector of the post-office in New Hampshire.
On January 4, 1848, he was elected librarian of the New York Historical Society where his son George was acting as assistant librarian. He resigned on June 5, 1849, to accept an appointment of President Taylor to establish the post-office in California, and was made deputy postmaster at San Francisco by President Fillmore in September 1850. During these many activities his interest in historical writing never ceased, and while in California he sent to his son at the New York Historical Society many of the daily newspapers of the West which form a good collection in the library of that Society.
In February 1853 he returned to the East, and died on September 1, 1853, at the home of his brother, John Weeks Moore, in Bellows Falls, Vermont, where he is buried.
Achievements
Jacob Bailey Moore was a well-noted journalist and author, who was noted for his love of reading, music and mechanical ingenuity. In addition, he served as librarian and publisher in New York, and the first postmaster of San Francisco in 1849 - 1853.
