The Eliot school, Boston, in March, 1859, exhibited cruelty and intolerance such as had been rebuked by the State Superintendent in New York. Thomas J. Whall, a Catholic pupil, was ordered to repeat the Ten Commandments in the Protestant form ; he declined, as his father had forbidden him to do so. The teacher sent for McLaurin F. Cooke, the second master, who flogged the boy on both hands for thirty minutes, declaring that he would whip him till he consented, for he had nothing else to do the whole forenoon. The inhuman teacher was tried for assault and battery, and the case was argued at considerable length, but Judge Maine held that the teacher had a right to inflict the punishment, and that it was not excessive or malicious. 2 One hundred Catholic children were expelled for refusing to submit to the intolerant system, and the monstrous decision of the judge sustaining the cruelty showed Catholics that no recognition of their religious rights could be expected from the State schools, which made open war on their religion, and that they must establish schools of their own. On the 21st of March, Bishop Fitzpatrick
 * Excerpt:**

2 Report of the Trial of McLaurin F. Cooke, sub-master of the Eliot School of the City of Boston, for an assault and battery upon Thomas J. Wall, etc., Boston, Freeman s Journal, March 26, 1859. Judge Maine ignored entirely the amendment to the Constitution Nov. 11, 1833, which put an end to Protestant control, and relieved all from contributing to or attending Protestant worship. See able review in Boston Pilot, April 30, 1859. (page) 514 THE CHURCH IN THE UNITED STATES.

addressed a letter to the President and members of the School Committee, in which he stated in clear and convincing language the reasons why Catholics resisted the enforced use of the Protestant version of the Bible, the enforced learning and reciting of the Ten Commandments in their Protestant form, and the enforced union in chanting the Lord s Prayer and other religious chants. This masterly document, while it embarrassed the Board, turned the tide of public opinion, and, a few months later, there were elected as members of the School Committee, a Catholic priest and several Catholic laymen.

**Massachusetts Historical Society**
[|Know-Nothing Party Information - MA Historical Society] //(from the Massachusetts Historical Society web page)// Including: > After a stunning populist landslide in the Massachusetts state election of 1854 brought the American Party (the Know-Nothing Party) to power, members found themselves, because of the secretiveness of their organization, with no clear public statement of party principles. At a meeting in Springfield, Massachusetts, on 7 August 1855, the state council tried to reach a compromise between the nativist (anti-immigrant) and antislavery concerns of party supporters. The meeting produced the "Declaration of Principles" that became known as the "Springfield Platform." These principles appear on pages 2 and 3 of the published //Constitution of the State Council of the American Party of Massachusetts// displayed here. The divisions within the party proved irreconcilable. The Know-Nothings soon lost their wide popular appeal and the party quickly collapsed, falling from political power in Massachusetts by 1857.
