After the gathering of the MacLeans in Chicago, there was a general feeling that a complete report of the proceed- ings should be published. To leave the matter for the con- sideration of the next session in Toronto was thought to bo inexpedient, although it is sincerely hoped that said meeting will take such action as will be satisfactory to all the meni- bers of the Association. With a view to preserve the records, and to present the same in a permanent form, T have taken the responsibility of editing and publishing the same.

On my own 10 FIRST ANNUAL GATHERING r motion, Archibald MacLean, Esq., of Rockford, III, was made temporary chairman. On assuming the chair, Mr. MacLean stated that the object of the meet ing was fully known to all. He then proceeded to give his reasons why the Chief and all the Chieftains should be invited to the World's Fair, and to be the guests of the Clansmen during their stay. George C. McLean, of Janesville, Wis., vigorously seconded the remarks offered by the chairman. On a vote being taken, it was unanimousl}^ carried that the Chief and Chieftains of the Clan be invited to Chicago, and that the Chief should name the time. The meeting then elected W. A. McLean Permanent President ; S. P. MacLean, Secretary; J. P. MacLean, Cor. Secretary, and A. A. MacLean, Treasurer. The Corresponding Secretary was directed to communicate the desire of the meeting to the Chief, and report the result to the President. The meeting then adjourned, to meet at the call of the President. Before leaving Chicago, on that day, I addressed a letter to the Chief, conveying to him the sense of the meeting, requesting his acceptance, and for him to name the time that would be most convenient for him to attend the World's Fair, and inviting him to be the guest of his Clansmen. The action thus taken was reported to the Associ- ated Press, and the next day appeared in the leading papers of America. February 16th, the Chief's letter of acceptance wa» received, the following being a copy : — *•» CLAN MACLEAN ASSOCIATION. 11 The Lees, Folknstone, Kent, Eng., February 4th, 1893. Professor J. P. MacLean, Coi'responding Secretary, My Dear Sir: Nothing in this universe could have touched my heart to the extent of the message just received from my Clansmen on the other side of the Atlantic. I at once accept their courteous invitation to become their guest, and Lady MacLean will gladly accompany me to Chicago to visit the Columbian Exposition — if it pleases the Great Director of all events to give us health and strength to do it. Pray convey to those gentlemen who were present at the meeting held on January 17th, my high sense of their loyalty to their Ancient Family Traditions and to their Chief, who once more repeats the oath made by his ancestors before starting on an expedition — as fur back as the llth century : — " The heavens are above us, The land be'ow us, The ocean around us, Everything in a circle about us ; If the heavens do not fall, '.,- Casting from their high fortresses The stars like rain on the face of the earth ; If shocks from within Do not shatter the land itself ; If the ocean from its blue solitude Does not rise up over The brows of all living things " — I will meet my Clansmen in Chicago. Believe me. Yours ever faithfully, FITZROY DONALD MACLEAN, Bart,, of Dowart, Brolas and Morvern, Chief of the Clan. ■ ) 12 FIRST ANNUAL GATHERING In a postscript the Chief added that he would sail from Liverpool on the S. S. " Majestic," Wednesday, May 31st. The same day on which the above was received, I communicated its contents to the President, and also notified the Secretary and Treasurer. The President called a meeting to be held at 2 p. m. of March 1st, in the office of the Treasurer, and w'rote to me urgently to be present. During this session the whole question was gone over, the financial part receiving the greater consideration. The meeting fully realized that there was hard and persistent labor before each member. It was desired to reach every member of the Clan in North America, and every one to have a special invitation, regardless of the method of spell- ing the name. An effort should be made to quicken the Clan spirit in every one. It was understood that there were innumerable families that had been resident in the New World so long that they had lost all trace of their ancestry ; others had neglected such opportun- ities as had been afforded them, while still others were indifferent. It was decided that circulars should be sent to every one of the name w^hose address could be obtained. Anticipating this, I had prepared a draft, and submitted it to the meeting. The Chief's letter of acceptance was read at the opening of the session, and was received with prolonged applause. Committees on Finance, Arrangements and Reception were appointed. Also an Advisary ono. The Corresponding Secretary was directed to have a circular printed, and to send one to every one of the name on his list — having reported CLAN MACLEAN ASSOCIATION. 13 ^ that h? had about 3,000 names — and to draw on the Treasurer for funds. A call for contributions was now made, when nearly every one contributed five dollars each. It was also decided that the week becrinninsr June 12th should be one of festivities, during which time there should be a Reception and Banquet. The draft of the circular submitted I revised, and on March 8th I commenced to send it through the mails, the following being a copy : HAIL TO THE CHIEF ! • The Fiery Cross has not been sent over the mountains or hills of Mull, Morvern, Coll, Tiree or Islay, summoning the MacLeans to respond to the call of their Chief, since 1745, nor has their slogan — lias na BeatJia — been heard. The plaided warriors of MacLean sleep in their Island graves. By these Presents all the MacLeans, and those related by direct descent or married into the Clan, especially those residing in the United States and Canada, are summoned to assemble in the City of Chicago, during the week com- mencing June the 12th, 1893, to welcome the Hereditary Chief of The Ancient and Great Clan MacLean, Colonel Sir Fitzroy Donald MacLean, Bart., who has positively promised to be present, and will leave Liverpool on the S.S. " Majestic," Wednesday, May 31st, and will be the guest of the MacLeans of North America, at the World's Columbian Exposition. The following Chieftains of the Clan have also been invited to be present : Captain Murdoch Gillian Maclaine of Lochbuie, Archibald John Maclean of Pennycross, Alex. John Hew Maclean of Ardgour, The Maclean of Coll, Robert Cutler McLean of Kingerloch. A reception and banquet will be given during the week — 14 FIRST ANNUAL GATHERING the exact time not yet detei'inined — at which there will be toasts, responses and songs, bagpipe and other music. The committee suggests that all — ladies and gentlemen — should wear the MacLean dress Tartan. Please observe the following directions : — 1. All Mho will be present, and will also attend the banquet, are requested, at as early a date as possible, to notify S. P. Maclean, reporter, " The Tribune," Chicago. 2. All desiring the dress Tartan can secure as many yards as wanted, at $1 per yard ; Sashes — which have been suggested — three yards long, exclusive of the fringe — at $li each, all made out of Scotch wool of the finest texture, and most durable colors. To secure the Tartan, money must be sent as early as possible to J. P. MacLean, Mor- rison, 111. If goods aie to be sent by mail, postage must be added at the rate of nine cents to the yard. Let all help make this a great occasion. Remember, this is the only instance of a Highland Chief having been invited to this country by his Clansmen. Let all unite to renew the Ancient Ties of Clanship. As the committee has not the address of all our Clansmen, it is hoped that every one will feel it to be their duty to invite all they may know to participate on this occasion, which is destined to be historical.

On March 2nd, I sent letters of invitation to The MacLean of Pennycross and The Maclaine of Lochbuie, followed on the Gth by letters to The MacLean of Ardgour, The MacLean of Coll, The MacLean of Doch- garroch, and a few days later one to The MacLean of Kingerloch. The MacLean of Pennycross was the only Chieftain who was able to respond favorably. After sending copie.^ of the circulars to every name on my list in the United States and Ontario, I received a letter from the Treasurer, in which he directed me to turn over to him a list of all the names I possessed, and all the circulars on hand. Immediately I com- plied with the order, and at the same time reported what I had done. The order was a welcome one. For nearly three weeks I had been almost incessantly engaged in enclosing envelopes and mailing the circu- lars. I now devoted a portion of my time in inditing letters to such parties as I thought might take an interest in the coming gathering. I also made the attempt to organize by States and have some one in each Commonwealth to lead the movement. ■r 16 FIRST ANNUAL GATHERING ) About this time, W. B. Maclean and other Macleans in Toronto, Ont., became interested in the enterprise, and took hold in earnest. Circulars were furnished them for distribution, and a list of over 700 of the name in Canada. As I still had full charge of the Tartan interest, I busied myself in urging all to secure a pattern. The third and last meeting of the Association I attended was the evening of May 2nd. At this session quite a number of ladies were present. The question of their organizing an auxiliary branch, and what method of dress they should wear, were discussed. Also the prospective outlook was considered. As the time drew near, I wrote a letter to George H. McLean, Esq., of New York, requesting him to look after the Chief on his arrival, and to show him such hospitality as should be given to the head of the Clan. Mr. McLean promptly replied that he would do all within his power to make everything pleasant during his stay in the City of New York. I also wrote to the Hon. Charles F. MacLean, to look after the inter- ests of Chieftain MacLean of Pennycross. The reply was also cordial, and that the Chieftain would receive due hospitality. The .repared them for the conflict. Properly speaking, the battle of Cul- loden ended the days of Clanship. We are to view our Clan as a distinctive tribe, from the days of old Dougall of Scone (1100 A. D.), who has been described as "an influen- tial, just and venerable man " down to Sir Hector the XXI., Chief of MacLeaa. Historians and poets have giv^en to the Clan the noblest characteristics, and one of the most frequent designations in Scottish poetry is "The True MacLean." The quality of being true is an exalted possyssion. In friendship, in loyalty, in hospitality, and in whatever was deemed to be right, the Clan never wavered. The whole line of Chiefs, and the gentlemen of the Clan, were guided by a sublime sense, which fully exemplified itself upon every occasion. Undoubtedly,, to this sense the Clan owes its reputation to be a warrior race. The pride of mankind has led him to deeds of renown. The Highlanders were prone to take up the claymore, and the Clansmen were summoned together by the fiery cross. I think the truth of history will prove that the MacLeans were not a warrior class from choice, but from necessity. On first view this might seem disproved that they were among the CLAN MACLEAN ASSOCIATION. - first to take up arms, foieniost in battle, and the last to leave the field of carnage. Ever since the days of Clanship, the IJritish army has been augmented by this valorous race. But it must be remembered that in feudal times, when the gov- ernment was impotent, every Chief was compelled to protect his vassals from the inroads of his neighbors. The estates of the MacLeans were bordered by a Clan not disposed to bi^ peaceable, and hence the art of war became the safeguard to p(>ace. But when called to action no braver men ever stood in the front line of battle. At the battle of Glenlivat (Oct. 3rd, 1594), the Chief of MacLean, with his Islesmen, long withstood the shock of the conflict after all others had tied. At Inverkeithing (July 20th, 1651) the young Chief of Mac- Lean, with his eight hundred follow < rs, received the shock of Cromwell's army, nor would they leave their position. Of their number only forty escaped alive, while eight gentlemen of the Clan in succession iiilervened their bodies between that of their Chief and the shots of the enemy, each exclaim- ing, " another for Hector." It is more profitable to look at the pursuits of peace than the products of war. The MacLeans lived in the country of Ossian, and were acquainted with the deeds of Fingal. The mountains and glens of Scotland have long been pro- ductive of nature's poets. The mountains of Morvern and the scenery of Mull must have inspired men of genius from the earliest times. The MacLeans have also been poets. How many there have been no man knoweth. The names of many must have been lost in traditionary times. Prof. Magnus MacLean, lecturer on physics in the University of Glasgow, in a recent paper on MacLean Bards, commercing with the year 1537, gives us a short biography, with specimens of their pgety, of forty-six MacLean poets. This is certainly a formidable array. Poetry, especially pastoral, enters into 48 FIRST ANNUAL GATHERING the life of a people, and 1ms no little influence in forming their character. The poems of Ossian moulded the character of the Highlanders, and the fortitude, valor and long suffer- ing of that devoted race, to a great extent, must be ascribed to the venerable bard. A people given to poetry are emo- tional, the chords are attuned, and such inspiration as is received leads to better thoughts and nobler lives. If, with this, the religious sentinient be imbibed, then they partake of the spirit of devotion. Devotion may take a wrong direction, as notably instanced in the loyalty of the Clan MacLoan to the House of Stuart. The struggle in which the Clan was engaged at Bannockburn was a righteous one, for it meant national liberty. The magnetism of Bruce was not only his bravery, but his sense of freedom for his country. Wallace had paved the way. The House of Stuart, taken as a whole, was not one to be admired. But the MacLeans were devoted to it, although at its hands they received nothing but stripes, and no benefits accrued to them for all the sufferings they endured. It may be that to those brought up under a monarchial form of government the dignity of the nation is represented by the one that wears the crown, and the king stands as the nation l^ersonified. However that may be, our ancestors regarded the Stuarts to be the rightful sovereigns, and upon that idea they staked their fortunes and their lives. This fidelity to a reigning House gave to the race the name of " The True MacLean." The true status of a race must be looked at from within. While the Highlanders were regarded by the outside world as a rude, wild and savage race, yet the reverse was true. On the exterior there was the garb of fierceness, but nobler, truer and warmer hearts never beat in the breasts of men than those possessed by the warriors of the land of the mist. CLAN MACLEAN ASSOCIATION. 40 Mull may have been designated as "The Isle of Gloom," yet visitors to it were received with the kindest hospitality by the ancient Lords of Duard. These Chiefs were surrounded by a loyal people, and the interest of one was the common property of all. Should one be sick, there was the famous race of Beatons to apply the healing art — a race nurtured and maintained by the Chiefs of Mac Lean until they became the most noted in Scotland. Did anyone need the conso- lations of religion, the Chief was the first to fill the parishes with the best pul})it services that the time afforded. In short, whatever progress was made in the nation was soon applied, so far as circumstances would permit, on the estates of the MacLean. The poets have also called the MacLeans a " generous Clan." It can be said with pride that the whole history of our Clan was marked by gonerous deeds and a want of sel- fishness. A selfish man and a true MacLean were incom- patible. Naturally they were given to the love of home, and their interests were to make JVIull second to no other isle in Scotland. When called to action, even their homes were sacrificed in the interests of their sovereigns. But let it be said to the honor of the Clan that not one of its members ever fawned upon the monarch, or sought emolu- ments at his hands. They could fight the battles of their country, but never buy recognition at court. They were never two-faced, and to-day, looking back over the whole line of Chiefs, one may behold men guided by sterling integ- rity — the greatest gift a father can bestow u])on his son. When all these recorded things come up before niv?, I am able fully to appreciate the words of John Stuart Blackie, the greatest of living Scottish scholars : " There were m ighty meii in Mull in those days, and the MacLeans were amongst the mightiest. They were amongst the most loyal of the 50 FIRST ANNUAL GATHERING loyal at Bannockburn, and they could not fail to share the sorrows of the uncrowned monarch at Inverkeithing and Culloden. The MacLeans, if not always wise in action, were generous in purpose and noble in conduct." If the MacLeans had been less brave, less loyal, and pos- sessed of less integrity of character, and had the perfidy to betray their sovereign, and then to turn and fawn upon hiui and danno attendance at his court, to-day the Chief of Mac- Lean might have worn the robes of a duke. But would he be honored by his Claneraen? Would he be invited to enjoy the hospitality of his Clansmen four thousand miles away from home'? At home, those who personally know him best publish to the worhl these words, of which anyone should be proud : " Their Chief won golden opinions from the Clan and their friends. Their Chief was proud of his Clan, and they were proud of and devoted to their Chief. He was a gentleman, a scholar, and all that a Highland Chief should be." Mr. Chairman, we honor ourselves when we pay tribute of respect to our worthy line of ancesters. No more is the tramp of the mailed and tartaned warrior heard in the glens of Mull and Morvern. Where once was the devoted parti- zan and loyal Clansman, may now be found the shepherd and his fiock of sheep. Mighty changes have swept over that country since the time that the MacLean was Lord of Duard. When i poet recently viewed the scene, he was forced to indite : From rocky Duard, from Mingary grey, The terror of the Clans has passed away. They sleep, the plaided warriors of MacLean, Where dust of battle may not rise again. Sheathed is the claymore, vanished from the sea The white-winged pride of Ocean chivalry ; Hushed is the slogan, bloodless flow iiie waves, And death seems buried in those island graves t CLAN MACLEAN ASSOCIATION. 51 Tlie irreparable wrong committed upon the Highlanders lias not been without its comper.:-iatioiis. Nature is a great mother, and she constantly opens new avenues fc '-'^r sons and daughters. Fresh Keltic blood must be poured into the sluggish veins of the Saxon and his kindr^ i_ pes. The Scoto-Irish must seek other homes, and in ^viuerica they have found a genial soil for their energy and enterprise. So the MacLeans, by force of circumstances, driven from their home, have found a habitation wherever civilization extends. In the struggle for existence, he will be found among the foremost in every department of life. But wherever he may be found, he has a warm heart for his Clan, and is proud of the fact that Highland blood courses through his veins. A loyal sentiment has brought us together to-night. We are proud that the MacLean is with us, and that other MacLean of Penny cross, who is equal in birth, equal in virtues to anyone in the Highlands of Scotland. We have partially looked over the past. We honor it. We would make the words of the poet true : Their memory warms at old tradition Of Mull, and Coll, and dark Liemore. Old Fingal deeds, Culumba's mission, The Duard towns, and Aros shore. How proud are they of clannish tartan, How dear to them the bonnet blue, The Gaels' descendants set their heart on The colors of their fathers true. In later, as in older, story Of battletield, the Clan MacLean Has borne a greater share of glory Than tamer races of the plain. ' Schooled as of old the warrior Spartan, To live and die for home and fame, With steel, in blood, these men in tartan On honor's shield have graved their name. It 52 FIRST ANNUAL GATHERING In war, MacLean is brave in battle! In peace, a credit to hia ( /Ian I In office, trade, or feeding cattle. In love, or friendship, he's your man.

The Toast Master next announced a Gaelic song,, entitled, " Ho, Ro', Mo Nighean doun Broidheach," to be sung by J. W. McLean. In the rendering of this song Mr. McLean was accompanied by a harp. THE MACLEANS OF THE UNITED STATES. • Hon. AiiEX. McLkan (Macomb, 111.)- The third toast of the evening, proposed by the Toast Master, was " The MacLeans of the United States/' and in introducing the speaker, observed: We have with us a gentlemen greatly interested in oui educational movement, and, who for several years, has been the President of the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. I novv call upon Hon. Alex. McLean, of Macomb, 111., to lespond to "The MacLeans of the United States." ■ • ]\Tr. McLean, addressing the chair, said : il/r.

It was then I felt like the prophet of old, while in the cave of Mount Horeb, when he exclaimed, " I, even I only am left," believing he was the last of the true worshippers of God. He was commanded to arise and to be of good cheer, for there were 7,000 still living who had not bowed the knee to Baal. Since then [ have learned, and now I see I was mistaken, for the MacLeans in the United States are sufficiently numerous to re-people Mull, Coll and Tiree, and some of the adjacent isles of the sea. When I was a lad, in this section of country, there were but two classes of foreigners known, the Dutch ancf Irish, by the native population, and when I was addressed under either of these names, let me say, the hot MacLean blood rebelled against the impeachment, and the interrogator was reminded of his error in a manner more decisive than polite. In fact, many had never seen a Scotchman, and in some way were impressed with the idea that he had either horns or hoofs, or at least, we were carefully scrutinized from head to foot before we could pass muster. Hajjpily that era has passed, and a Scotchman is now known as a thrifty, cautious, loyal citizen, and obtains at the hands of the people of this nation all the consideration he merits or deserves. Of late years I have been digging into the history of our Clan, so far as my limited opportunities would permit, and I find that our familv name goes verv far back in the annals of time, as being a stirring and warlike people, ready at all times to maintain their honor, resent an insult, or assist in a friendly raid, as was the humor of the tin)es ; that they were independent, self-reliant, with an excellent opinion of themselves, and proud of their ancestry and their deeds. In fact in my study and investigation I have become impressed with some feelings of pride of ancestry, and in the ancient origin of the Clan, so much so that it would probably not 56 FIRST ANNUAL GATHERING be difficult to convince mc that our great ancestor was named Adam Mac Lean. At any rate there is scripture for it that there were two camels in the ark, when the great dohige came u}»on the earth, yet 1 am aware of the tradition in our family that every MacLt«,n had a boat of their own. Hence, as a matter of course, there was no need to take passage with Captain Noah. Whether the tradition be founded on fact or not, it is true nevertheless, and this goes far to prove that our claim to antiquity must be correct. History also informs us that the Clan MacLean constituted a large and fbrniidable people in the long ago, and that the normal condition of Clanship enjoyment was /editing^ and that they had a goodly share of that pastime, and though not always successful, I find they were always loyal to their Chief, and true to the cause in which they were engaged. No traitor or coward was ever found in their ranks. For this we are proud, and to-night, no MacLean at this festal board need blush or be ashamed that they were, as I have said, proud, independent to rashness, with a feeling of personal dignity for their good name, fearing to bring reproach upon their ancestry, and emulous to add lustre to its history and preserve our motto, " Virtue Mine Honor," untarnished. Therefore let us emulate their good deeds, and not quarter our coat of arms with the " bar sinister," but " let the two seals rampant " stand upright, as of yore. Let us be proud and jealous of our name, and bring no dishonor on the fair pages of our history. We should have pride of family, faith in its honor, esteem for its history, and glory in the fact that we belong to the Clan MacLean, and allied to its hereditary Chief. I am the more impressed to-night with the source of that bond of affection which exists between the Chief and his Clansmen, in contradistinction from the time when the only CLAN MACLEAN ASSOCIATION. m bond between man and Chief was not blood inlierited, but Vjlood slied in a common cause. We are all profoundly impressed with the honor we enjoy to-night in seeing our Chief, Sir Fitzroy Donald MacLean, and Chieftain Mac Lean of Pennycross and his estimable ludy, with us in the flesh. Much have I read, and more have I heard from my father and family, about the head of our Clan, and proud I feel of the name. But it was then a romance, much of fiction and more of a dream. Now all seems t., oe reality, and well can I understand why it was the MacLeans would so enthusiastically follow their Chief to the H&ld of battle, to the death for weel or woe. When I received the circular announcing that the fiery cross, for the first time since 1745, had been sent out over the hills and valleys of Canada, and the broad prairies of the great Northwest of America, sum- moning the MacLeans to respond to the call of their Chief to meet him in the City of Chicago, my sluggish blood was aroused, every fiber of my being was awakened, and T made the vow, so well remembered by our noble Chief, that I will obey the summons and meet my Clansmen at the appointed time. I ceased to be plain " Sandy McLean," and became Alexander McLean, the Clansman. While the blood con- tinues to course through my veins, it shall be the honor of my life that I am your Clansman, and this heritage I promise to try and hand down to my children, so that the good name of the family shall not suffer at their hands. While we are congratulating ourselves on the grand history of our Clan, we must remember that our name is not unknown in the United States. Nay, more, there is not a state or territory in this broad land but has a representative of this prolific family, and, so far as known, will compare favorably with any Clan-name in the roll of American citizenship. In order to condense this part of my remarks, I deem it but 58 FIRST ANNUAL (iATHERING simple justice to the learned author and well-known ethnol- ogist, Prof. J. P. MacLean, the author of that invaluable work, the " History of the Clan MacLean," to make an extract from his history, touching the matter of the MacLeans in the United States, which, after years of careful study and examination into original documents in Scotland and else- where, will ever bo regarded as authentic. He says : " Six- teen thousand MacLeans still live in Scotland, but very few on the ancient estates, although they may be found in Ireland, England, India, the Gold Coast of Africa, the West Indies, Canada and the United States. Canada and the United States contain not far from twenty thousand of the name. In the directory of the city of Philadelphia are recorded the names of two hundred, probably representing not less than five hundred. New Yoik adds one hundred and thirty, representing about four hundred. To give an account of the MacLeans in America would require a large volume. They have flourished in the arts, sciences, and the elements of civilization in this country, surpassing tho.se left on the native soil. All of the various walks of life have been adorned by those of the name. They have obtained eminence in statesmanship, diplomacy, civil law, divinity, medicine, invention, literature and the fine arts. We have found MacLeans battling for freedom and winning renown, not only for daring, but for a ])atriotism born inherent in human rights. To speak of those whose voices have been heard in the halls of Congress, or the acts of those who have held cabinet positions, or sat in Governors' chairs, or rendered decisions from the Supreme Court, or engaged in the diplomatic service, or arousing and instructing the people from the editor's chair, or spoken words of wisdom and consolation from the pulpit, or gave sound medical advice, would be great pleasure, but must require a large volume. CLAN MACLEAN ASSOCIATION. 59 in The name has been fully identified in the geography of th© United States. Illinois has a McLean County containing 1,155 square miles, with a population of 75,000. In that County is a post-village of the same name. McLoansborough is the County seat of Hamilton County, same State. One of the counties of Western Kentucky is named ]McLean, and contains 325 square miles, with a po[)ulation of 7,500. There is a McLean County in Dakota. Minnesota has a McLean Township in Ramsey County. Ohio has a McLean post-office in Fayette County, and a McLean Township in Shelby County. Tompkins County, in New York, has a McLean post-village. McLain is the name of a post-office in Harvey County, Kansas. McLane .is a post-office in Erie County, Pennsvlvania, and in Crawford County, same State, is McLean's Corners. There is a McLeansville in Guilford County, North Carolina. McLeansville is a village in Jack- son County, Tennessee, and McClain's a post otHee in Wirt County, West Virginia." We could not add to this record without being considered vainglorious ; but it may be well to say to the Chief that his Clansmen in this country will com part; favorably with those in other lands. These Clansmen around you, and " Clanswomen," to borrow an appropriate word from our worthy President, W. A. McLean — and I like it — are men and women of representative character in their various walks of life. If you desire to be at the head of the largei- portion of the Clan MacLean, I see no other way than that you locate on this continent. Be that as it may, we here and now renew our fealty to you as the head of our tribe, whether 5,000 miles across the prairies and the sea, or on the shores of the great lake of Illinois, and while we may be sometimes impassioned, hasty or rash, we still will remember the i)rayer of the old elder, who besought the Lord to keep him rlcht, for when he was lurang he was aw/a wrang. 60 FIRST ANNUAL OATIIERING Finally, my lionored Chief, wp return you our personal, sincere {intl liearty thanks for your presence here to-nitrht. Your Clansmen, who havr never seen a Chief before, but have read and clnM-ished the memory of your ancestry with emotions of delight, feel honored by your presence. To you, Chieftain MacLean of Pennycross and your estimable ]ady» wo also thank you in the sincerity of our hearts for your presence at this Clan gathering. Our heart's desire and prayer to (iod is, that you will long be spared to be our Chief and Chieftnin, and your return to your native land in safety be vouchsafed, and a reunity of the family ties of those you love. Under the providence of God, may this, our meeting, be for the good of us all, believing tliat we have learned somewhat of our kith and kin, which will tell on our families for years to come. ' THE MACLEANS OF CANADA. Ma.ior llr«ii H. McLean (St. John, N. B.). The Toast-Master announced that this toast was to have been responded to by Hon. W. F. Maclean, of Toronto, but owing to his absence, Major Hugh H. McLean had kindly consented to favor us on the above subject. While we are disappointed by the absence of Mr. Maclean of Toronto, yet, I can assure you that his place will be ably tilled by Major McLean, whom I now have the pleasure of introducing to you. In response. Major McLean spoke as follows : Mr. President, Ladles and Gentlemen : I regret that the gentleman (Hon. W. F. Maclean, M. P.) who was to respond to this toast is not able to be present, as in his hands it would have received due justice. ( HKiH H. MtLi.w. r f CLAN MACLKAN ASSOCIATION, c>:^ I thank you brother Clausmon on hehftlf of thts MaeLonns of Canada for the hearty manner in which you received this toast, and for tlio honor yon Ijave done us in proposing it. We are your kinsmen, united to you by the ties of blood and Clan association, descended from the same stock, and coming from the same country. The grand reception we have received here has made us fet4 that the old feeling of Clan unity has been revivid and is again in practical force, and I believe will forever continue. The MacLeans of Canada join with the MacLeans of the Utiited States in welcoming our Chief to this gathering. As in old times otir fathers gathered at the Clan cull to sup}>ort and defejid with their arms and lives the forefathers of our Chief, so we now come together to renew our allegiance, and to assure him that the old Clan ties hind us as strong to him as they bound our fathers to his. The earnest and eloqtient spee^ch of our Chief has stirred us to unwonted enthusiasm ; let us not forget his advice, but with all our strength endeavour to be " True MacLeans." Let us teach our children the noble traditions of our Clan, and instill into their hearts maxims of honor and right, .so that they may keep the name unsullied, and prove to the world that they are worthy of the name MacLean. We must be true to onr country, true to our friends, and true to ourselves in order to be " True MacLeans." It has always been the proud boast of our Clan that the MacLeans are not traitors. Carry out this piinciple in the ordinary every-day affairs of life and i)rove to our fellow citizens that the descendants of the men who fou;rht at Culloden are true, faithful and firm friends. The MacLeans of Canada are noted for their loyalty and love of their country. We are British subjects, and are happy to live under the glorious flag of the Empire. We 64 FIKST ANNUAL (iATIIERINO are proud to V)c called Ctinadians, to be tlie defenders and guardians of half a continent — a land of unbounded promise and predestined renown — a country t ^ live for and to die for. My friend on my right says : " Your country is not an independent State." I say we are a State. " What constitutes a State? Not turret or embattled tower, but men. Free-born men who know their rights, and will defend them. These constitute a State." We are no longer a congeries of disconnected provinces, ! t 1 ■' I f. ■ 1 5. -f of cities, in those United States, this country of countries from all the ages past. It was liardly heooming to me to accept this duty, but coming from a long ancestral line of those who never flinched in any duty, but dare even to die for the honor of the nauu? we all love, I knew not how to turn my back on this service. It is the highest privilege of my life, dear Clansmen, to- sit with you here in the presence of our noble hereditary Chief, whom we delight to honor, and the heads of fami- lies — branches of our most beloved Clan Mac Lean ; and by reviving a love for our fathers and the lands of our fathers, and quicken the love for our brothers and Clansmen the world over, we cannot but feel our hearts burn within us as- with an interest never before felt, we sing over the old songs, tell over the old tales, and write at the end of each our Clan motto, " Virtue Mine Honor." If, as in boyhood, I climbed to the top of a mountain and looked away to the eastward, wondering what lay beyond, to-night turn to the lands of our ancestors, I see nearest the little State of Connecticut, then the island of Coll, then ** The Isles that stud the stormy waters Of Caledonia's rugged strands." h But back, back through the centuries our line of descent goes unbroken, and before the Christian era our ancestral halls in Scotia were trod by bravest sons and daughters of the Clan MacLean. But long before that time, as the great waves of population pressed out from the vast Asiatic hive, they traversed Europe, leaving on every hand traces of their skill, we must know that all Europe has felt the touch of power of those whose family motto is, and ever shall be, " Virtue MJne Honor." If we turn to sacred story, and, like the ancient Hebrew,. ( CLAN MACLEAN ASSOCIATI'X. 73 trace along the lino backward, we come to Noali and the flood, and then there comes to our lips unhiddcni the dear old leffond, that " Tiie MacLean was there, and he had a boat of his ain," with the thistle upraised for an ensign, and in characters we now decipher was the same grand motto, "Virtue Mine Honor." But whence came he? We pore over the Holy Book, and read of Enoch who " Walked with God, and was not, for God took him." And as we know in our own experiences, as well f*'i from the sacred book, that the " God of our fathei'S '' changes not in all the ages, but has a ceaseless care for his own, we can easily believe that this ancient legend h«s more than doubtful i)roof that the sons of Enoch who followed in the footstei)S of their father, and feared the Lord, were not all drowned in the flood, and that it might have been, nay, is even probable, that the Mac- Lean did have ** a boat of his own," as well as father Noah. If we go back from this, it is easy to trace to one who was contemporaneous with Adam as our ancestors made in God's image, in the sweet valley of Eden so long ago. But, Mr. President, of which of these lands of our ancestors would you have nje speak. Eden, the mother of the nations, Europe, the halting place of restless, energetic and ambitious Olansmen, or Bonnie Scotland, and "The Isles of the West, lovely Isles of the West, As emeralds set in the blue ocean's breast, The birth place of Clansmen war-nurtured and brave. The home where the tempest-king rides on the waves ; Where thunders roll on in their terrible might, And keen lightnings dance on each peak with delight ; Where morning's dawn-rays o'er the mountain crests run, And gloaming descends as a sigh from the sun ; When pale ghosts career in the mist-shrouded hills, And heard are the wails in the songs of the rills ; Where beauty is shrined in each lone grassy vale. u FIKST ANNUAL GATHEHINC! And wee flowerets Ijvtigli to the voice of the gale ; Wliere unfettered peace a» a heaven presides, And Nature's sweet loveliness ever abides ; Where maidens and youths, round their dim cottage fires, Exultingly tell of the deeds of their sires ; Or sing with emotion the grand battle lays, Of heroes who fought in the far-away days. For King and for Chieftain, for honor and love, For aught tiiat would valor or dignity prove. O, Isles of the West, ever bosomed in song, My Highland harp whispers — the sound I'll prolong ; Speak on, my dear harp ; list, it trend)les again, 'Tis ' Virtue Mine Honor' and dauntless MacLeun." ft I Such descriptions of the lands of our ancestors, by one who nair wliereof she wrote, till us with gladness to-day, and though many have not setai, yet from childhood's days, we have intuitively loved the names of all the Western Isles and coasts — ever the home of the MacL< is. But when we think of the Scot's Land, there come up to us not only the breezy lochs and echoing vales, the rock- ribbed liills, but t}ie heather and moors, of which poets have sung, and song-writers have set in quaintest tunes the simple tales, like "Come O'er the Sea, Charlie," and "Robin Adair," with such singular uniqueness that all the world praise while they enjoy the old songs. If we speak of the Kirk, the schools, the castle, or the cottages that commonly in all the centuries haNe there been friends, we can understand how our ancestors, coming down from all the Hebrew race and language, have been renowned as watchful students of " God's letter to His children," and have been noted as deep scholars and earnest followers of the Divine teachings. So we can understand, when they have been scattered in all lands, why they have, as single individuals, been as so many grains of salt, conserving ever CLAN MACLKAN AHSOniATlOV. 75 and always the l)('st and lioliest interests of tli»; communities in which they dwelt.

Donald Mac Lean addresses us on " The Heroic Women of the AlacLean." .1//'. Pres'uhnty Cftinsmoi mtd CltDt.stromea : Leaving out of consideration for the present those grand cliiuacters who in the jiast huve helped to write the name of our Clan on tin' scroll of fame, and added in that way a glorious l)age to the history of Scotland, premit nie on the })resent occasion to direct the attention of my Clansmen and Olans'vomen to a sp<;cial class of heroic >\omen whose lives and labors, if less cons[)icious and less known to the world at largo, were no less honorable to themselves, and no less glorious in their triu? heroism and their services to humanity than the other and moi'o prominent class. I refer to that class so touchingly and truly described in the beautiful Scotish lyric, with which, 1 ha\ e no doubt, you are all familiar : The morn was fair, the skies we**© olear, No breath came o'er the sea, When Mary loft her Highland cot And wandered forth with me. The flowers decked the mountain side, And fragrance tilled the vale ; By far the fairest tlower there Was the Rose of Allandale. When'er I wandered, east or west, When fate began to lower, A solace still was she to me In sorrow's lonely hour. , Jl I (• V. #■■ 1 J V DoNAi.n iNr.vcLKAN, M. 1). • • • ^P.^lCO • • • • I 5i p 4 u it CLAN MACLEAN ASSOCIATION. When tempests lashed our gallant bark, And rent her shivering sail, One maiden form withstood the storm — 'Twas the Hose of Allandale. And when my fevered lips were parched On Afric's burning sand. She whispered hopes of happiness And tales of distant land. My life had been a wilderness, By fortune's gales unblest, Had fate not linked my fate with her's — The Rose of Allandak. It is for those women of our Clan who have gone forth from their Highland liomes, sometimes with members of their own Clan, sometimes as helpmate and companion to mem- bers of other Clans and other families, and in the wilds of America, in the deserts of India, in short, in every land and every clime, have lived the lives and wielded the influence for good that vindicates their title to the rank and fame of the true heroine. It is, I say, for this class that in all confidence I ask your loving and grateful consideration on this joyous occasion. I would lik«?, if time iiermitted, to sketch briefly for you the chief points in the eventful career of one such individual of this class of heroines. The one, viz., of whom I know most, and of whom I have the best right to speak, the one who has watched over and cared for and guided and helj)ed my life from th(^ moment I drew my first breath even until now, and to whom I am indebted for anything in the way of success or usefulness whicii I may have achieved. Born and brought up in the midst of all the romantic and inspiring Burroui^idings of her Highland home in the Isle of iMull, from the loving recollections of which I know that sh(; was able FIRST ANNUAL (;ATIII:KIX(! I to evolve tlioiights and suggestions wliicli clieercd and sup- ported heart and soul, and carried her safely through a long life of more than ordinary vicissitudes and trial, and, I may add, usefulness. Married about the age of seventeen, under the guiding inHuence (as she has always believed) of two supreme direct- ing powers, viz., lirst, the hand of "Him who doeth all things ■well,"' and second, the irresistible power of romantic Higland love. With the husband of her choice, wiio had had the great misfortune to lose his eyesight in boyhood, with him she emigrated to the backwoods of America, with the firm determination to overcome all obstacles, and by brave united etiort, to h<;w out and build uj) a local habitation and a name for themselves. Nor was this determination ever shaken or departed from ; on the contrary, all that it involved, including losses by fire, by tempest, by shipwreck, by sickness, l)y aftliction, was met with the tiilelity, the patience, the unflinehing courage of tlu> tnie heroine, until now, at the age of 74, from the quiet, peacj'ful home in the bosom of her family, surrounded by many children and grandchildren, she authorizes me to convey to you, her Clansmen aiul Clanswomen assembled here, her cordial greeting, and I am sure I may truthfully add the benediction, not only of a true heroine, but of a good old womnn. It would be very diihcult to over-estimate; the value to the many people in many lands who.se lives have been touched and elevated by the benign inlluences of such examples as the heroic women of our (Man have eacJi ont;, in her own special sphere, furnished \vherev(;r her lot has been cast. My only regret is that this important and inspiiing toast had not been allotted to some one more competent to do it the justice it deserves. i CLAN :>iACLi:AX ASSOCIATION. 81 After drinkinf; to the liealth of tlio Chief.
