"On Monday last the Circuit Court of the United States was opened in this town. The Hon. Judge Paterson presided. After the Jury were impaneled, the Judge delivered a most elegant and appropriate charge. ... Religion and morality were pleasingly inculcated and enforced as being necessary to good government, good order, and good laws, for "when the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice" [Proverbs 29:2] ... After the charge was delivered, the Rev. Mr. [Timothy] Alden addressed teh Throne of Grace in an excellent, well adapted prayer." - "United States Oracle", Portsmouth, New Hampshire, May 24, 1800, "The Documentary History of the Supreme Court of the United States, 1789-1800", Maeva Marcus, editor, (New York: Columbia University Press, 1988), Vol. III, p. 436
