In 1860, when George T. Bigelow succeeded Lemuel Shaw as Chief Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court, Judge Abbott was offered a place on that bench, but declined it for the same reason which had led him to resign his position on the Superior Court. In 1860, as a choice of evils, he voted for the Doug- lass ticket for presidential electors. In 18G1 Judge Abbott removed from 128 Stackpole Street, Lowell, to 6 Arlington Street, Boston. But, although he ceased to be a citizen of Lowell, he never l...ost his interest in this community. In the letter already quoted he says: "As you know, I have passed some of the happiest years of my life in Lowell, and with it are connected some of the pleasantest and best recollec- tions of the past. I took up my residence there soon after leaving college ; there I married my wife ; there all my children were born ; and there repose the ashes of some of them who so lived and died that I am sure their native city has never had cause to be ashamed of them. " Judge Abbott had early learned in the school of Jackson that the Union is an institution to be maintained, if necessary, by force ; and when that Union w;is men- aced with destruction in 1861, all who knew him knew what his position would be.
