Excerpt from Short Account of the Hartford Convention: Taken From Official Documents, and Addressed to the Fair Minded and the Well Disposed, to Which Is Added an Attested Copy of the Secret Journal of That Body Mr. Otis was a member of the Hartford Convention. This is the text, paraphrase and commentary, in all its forms and readings, of all the reproaches, imputations, misstatements, and misrepresentations, now proclaimed and promulgated against the federal candidate for Governor. An objection of the same sort was circulated with even greater vehemence and virulence against Governor Brooks. Though not a member, he was said, in the language of a well-known democratic paper, to have been the "idol of that body," and to have been designated by them as the leader of the "rebel army," that was to have executed its treasonable plans.

philanthropist politician author
Theodore Lyman was born on February 20, 1792 in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, a descendant of Richard Lyman who emigrated to New England in 1631. He was the second son of Theodore Lyman, a wealthy merchant, and the latter's second wife, Lydia Williams, niece of Timothy Pickering.
Lyman prepared for college at Phillips Exeter Academy and graduated from Harvard in 1810. Believing that he would pursue a career in letters, he spent the years until 1819 chiefly in study and travel, establishing European contacts, and accumulating a library.
Lyman's first published efforts, two small books and several articles of travel and description, grew out of his years in Europe. In 1823 he published A Short Account of the Hartford Convention and in 1826 The Diplomacy of the United States, enlarged and republished in two volumes in 1828.
Lyman's political activities began in Boston around 1819 and were greatly affected by his inheritance and social position. His father had been of the Essex Junto, the family was related to Pickering, and the elder Lyman's intimate friend, Harrison Gray Otis, was still a candidate for office. Consequently Lyman was inescapably bound to that small group of die-hard Federalists who were vainly endeavoring to prevent the disintegration of the party.
From 1820 to 1825 he sat in the state legislature in steadfast opposition to the Republicans. In 1823 he actively supported Otis in the latter's unsuccessful campaign for governor. In 1824 he fought against the elevation of John Quincy Adams to the presidency. Gradually he emerged as the leader of a silk-stocking group in uncompromising opposition to the Adams wing of the Republican party. This enmity, the disappearance of Federalism as a party, and the hope that Calhoun would come to control the movement, influenced Lyman to throw his support to Jackson in the election of 1828. Jackson was already receiving in Massachusetts the support of a popular and democratic following built up by Henshaw, and with this faction Lyman brought his aristocrats into a union that had little in common except hostility to Adams. The Lyman group worked heroically in the canvass. They established in August 1828 a newspaper, the Jackson Republican, merged in December 1828 with the Evening Bulletin. In the course of the campaign Lyman wrote an editorial on October 29, 1828 which so infuriated Webster as to result in a suit of criminal libel. The trial was celebrated, but the jury could not agree on a verdict and the case was later dropped. After the election of Jackson, Lyman continued in active support of him, but the patronage went to the Henshaw faction and Lyman grew lukewarm. The disaffection of Calhoun and Jackson's attack on the Bank completed the alienation, and Lyman in course of time became a Whig. But the currents remained confused.
In 1831 Lyman ran for mayor of Boston with the support of anti-Jacksonian elements. He was defeated. Two years later he ran again, supported by Henshaw and the (Jacksonian) Boston Post although he was far from being a Jacksonian at this time, and triumphed over the National-Republican and Anti-Masonic candidates. He ran again in 1834 and was reelected, thus serving as mayor throughout 1834 and 1835. His administration was able but undistinguished. The one noteworthy event was the mobbing of Garrison. Lyman's conduct during this riot was bitterly assailed by abolitionists, but it seems now that he acted with courage and discretion.
The later years of Lyman's life were devoted to philanthropy. There was in Boston a Farm School, a private charity intended to rescue morally exposed children. Lyman was called to the board of managers of this school and was thus introduced to the problem of reformatory schools. Consequently when the Massachusetts legislature appropriated in 1846 the sum of $10, 000 for the purpose of establishing at Westborough a state-owned reformatory for juvenile offenders, Lyman greeted the venture with the greatest satisfaction. The amount appropriated, however, seemed to him inadequate, and he therefore acted promptly to insure the institution ample funds for a successful start. Between the founding date and his death in 1849 Lyman gave the school $22, 500 and in his will there was a further bequest for $50, 000. This financial aid was the vital factor in establishing the school on a strong foundation of usefulness. Lyman also bequeathed $10, 000 to the Boston Farm School and a like sum to the Horticultural Society of Boston.
