But the separate existence of the smaller Commonwealth marred the fair proportions of the Common- wealth, in its natural outline, and Connecticut threw the King's sovereignty into her own scale in order to effect a peaceable removal of an obstacle to her complete State-hood. The town spirit built the Slate, and the King added his bene- diction to the structure. New Haven did not submit without a struggle, for not only her pride of separate existence but the supremacy of her ecclesiastical syste...m was at stake. For three years a succes- sion of diplomatic notes passed between the General Court of Connecticut and "our honored friends of New Haven, Mil- ford, Branford, and Guilford. " Southold had promptly accepted the charter, and there was a strong party in Stam- ford and Guilford which desired to take the same course. To strengthen this party, Connecticut appointed or confirmed constables and magistrates iu the towns named, and a war of annoyances was kept up on both sides. In October, 1664, the Connecticut General Court appointed the New Haven magistrates commissioners for their towns, " with magistra- ticall powers, " established the New Haven local officers in their places for the time, and declared oblivion for any past resistance to the laws.
