Bo3lon Iffassatte—Trial of the British,
Soldiers and their Acquittal.
;Thi§ event had n msire important Witt.
inc,e in securing edit independence, than
has generally been. imagined.
As soon arrthellritishiroops were quar-'
.
toted in Boston, a bitter feeling commenc
ed between them and the inhabitants.--
This Was, frorn time to time, increased till
Match 1770, When the crisis arrived.—
Captain Preston, an officer Hof experience,
firm and courtly in his manners, was on
duty., His menmere parading in State st.
Tile, populace continued crowding upon his
ranks, and his repeated entreaties were of
no avail in -protecting - hia man from the
sneers and •insults constantly poured upon
their; at length the. populace commenced
threwing stoneaat them, and two men were
knocked down in • the ranks.
`The soldiers had now become enraged
at this treatment, 'and ,Captain Preston,
finding the crowd 'pressing upon him, or
derekhis men to fire. This caused the'
death of three respectable citizens, and
feoin thnt moment 'the fury , of the populace
could' hardly be restrained long enough to
enable the civil power'to place Capt. Pres
ton and his tnen in prison, where they
gladly went to preventbeing torn in pieces.
The next ste was to have the captain
and his men indicted for murder, and tried
for that crime. Their chance of escape
appeared limited, when it was seen that
their judges, jurors 'and witnesses, were to
be taken from this excited populace. As
evidence of the_prevniling feeling, after the
Elder Adams, Samuel Dexter and Josiah
Quincy, three young men just then estab
lished, at the bar, had been retained by
Captain Preston; the, father of Quincy
catneio Boston; from Braintree,to entreat
his son to' have nothing to do with such a
criose, as its unpppularity would destroy
bis future prospects. ' The trial chine on ;
Adams appealed to the jury to be as deaf
as adders to the cry of-the populace—and
Dexter argued that the troops, with mus
kets n theur hands, were no more deadly
weapons, in law, than an axe in the hands
of.ri Carpenter... Theta came the • impartial
editor of .the judge, and the triumphant
acqulttal of the jury. The people bowed
in humble submission to, the majesty or the
but never became .reconciled to the
Britiah, troops.
. In , the meantime, this event, became
known in Europe—where the idea of giv
ing Captain Preston and his men a fair
trial,.under such circumstances, was not
only considered a perfect mockery upon
justice, but their condemnation and execu
tion was considered certain. When 'the
friends' of liberty in Europe heard of the
result of the trial, after reading the evi
dence, and the arguments of counsel; and
the charge of the court, great was their re
joicing as they saw America contained a
law abiding people—When they saw that
such a fair-trial could be given under such
excitement,• they proclaimed that ma' a
people can never be enslaved. , This trial
commended the American character to all
Europe, and it was the colatteral security
upon which subsequently Congress obtain
ed their fleetri and armies which secured
independence. •
„I In Boston,. the massacre could , neither
be ; forgiven ,or fbrgotten.. ..On: the other
hand, time ,appeered,to,impart deeper the
thorn in tile affections of,t,N) people; At each
anniversary of the massacre, all hearts

A WEEKLY PAPER: . DEVOTED TO LITERATURE, AGRICULTUREiIIORALITY, AND , FOREIGN AND DOIESTIO INTELLI

Volume 3.
and clear statement was drawn up of the ,
whole affair and printed—a , merchant ves- j
sel bou9d for England, was just ready to
sail from Salem, under command of Capt.
Derby, on board of which, several hun
dred of these printed documents were placed
for distribution among,the friends of Amer
ica in England. Capt. Derby had a, short
run of twenty days, and those accounts
wore all over England, some six weeks be
fore the government kid their despatches
from Gen. Gage, who had sent a frigate,
that had a long passage.
In the meantime; the excitement was
daily increasing against the govern
ment for allowing. Gage to murderthese
American subjects. At lest the govern
ment sent for Capt. Derby, and questioned
him about the battle. In a day or two the
letters from Gage arrived. The King was
very, angry, as Gage had been ordered to
allow no collision with the people. Gage
was immediately recalled, "to return and
in person to account to his majesty for the
murder of his subjects:
Dr. Franklin as agent of the Colonies,
was now in London. Lord Chatham had
discovered his great knowledge of Ameri
can affairs, and cultivated the acquaintance
of the Doctor on every occasion, and did
all in his power to increase his influence.
The Doctor took very cheap lodgings in
• an obscure street—and was comparatively
unknown among the common people.—
Lard Chatham thought the more the Doc
tor was known, the more popular would
be the American cause. With this view,
on Sunday afternoon, about the hour of re
turning from church, Lord Chatham would
call at the Doctors lodgings, and generally
in coach and six, with outsiders, &c.
This great man's carriage caused the
people to stop in crowds before the house
on their- way from church, to enquire who
the noble lord could be visiting. The next
day, the Doctor found, in going to walk,
that half the people he met took off their
hats to him., They had discovered that
Lord Chatham had called upon him.—
Grocers, boot-blacks, and all tradesmen
called to ask his patronage.
Through Dr. Franklin, Lord Chatham
prepared himself to defend America—and
enabled him to declare in Parliament, "My
lords delay not— instantly' withdraw your
troops—for America can never be subdued.
You never can negotiate with Ainaricans
as long as you hold the bayonet at their
breast."
Had Chatham's councils been followed,
peace would have been made the first year,
perhaps, war entirely prevented. After an i
eight years' war, King George, who was
the last man to consent to the independence
of America, said be would be the last man
to allow her independence to,be questioned.
In examining the British archives after
the war, it was discovered that the whole
eight years' war could have been prevent
ed, had" England and America only under
stood each other. Unfortunately, both
couVies were under an entire delusion.
The British had no reliable information,
except their own officers and tories. W hen
the battles of Lexington and Bunker Hill
reached England, the government were as
sured
1 1
that these were merely the result of
a surprise—that a few more regiments and
the colonies would be subdued. So, when
Burgoyne surrendered; nd even up to the I I
surrender of Lord Cornwallis, the eyes of
the British governMent were still onopen
ed to the real state of the case.
Du: after tho surrender of Yorktown, a
different sentiment prevailed. • Sir Henry
Clinton was then • recalled, and Sir Guy
Carleton took command. From the me
teent of his arrival, - all hiecorrespondence
and intercoUrse, official and otherwise, was
of the most conciliatory character. His
first letter to Washington was that he had
great pleasure in releasing several Ameri
can prisoners who were anxious' to return
to their homes, Had this, policy been
used in the early part of the contest,. our
independence would not' have been scour
cd—as the Cruelty of the' British appeared
to be necessary to firmly unite the whole
country. ' •

Clearfield, Pa.,
thP ‘ oppressors of tho country, who literally
stood with their bayonets at his breast,
There was in this last appeal of Warren to
his countrymen of the sufferings they wore
enduring from the British, a holy horror,
that must have chilled tho'blood of 'every
sensible Toe. •
On the 17th of Juno following, as soon.
as Warren (who was not in actual imme
diate military command; but President of,
the Provincial Congress of Massachusetts,
which was on that very_day in session at
Watertown,, within six miles of tho spot
whore Warren fell) hetird•that Gen.,Gagi3
wag moving to the attack, lie left his seat
as President, mounted his horse, and en
tirely unattended, rode rapidly to Bunker
Hill, up to the redoubt. The enemy then
were coming up. Col. Prescott had the
command, and as soon as Warren came
up, Prescott said, "General, I have work
ed, here all night, and am now ready for
the, enemy. Have you come to tak6
coin- I
mand?" .
"No, Colonel," replied Warren, "for'
God's sake, no. I come only as , volun
teer ; all I ask, is, let me share in the glory
of the day, entirely. under your orders."—
At this moment other divisions were com
ing up of the American troops, over ground
which was being raked by the canconj
from the, British ships. The raw troops
trembled in : approaching it, and Warren
planted his horse in the most exposed po- '
sition, cooly and calmly holding - his life in
his hand, as an example of heroic courage,
before he knew whether, his blood was fgr 7 . l ,
tilizing the soil of liberty or of bondage.'!,
As before observed, the Provincial Con
gress were during the whole of the battle, i
in session within six miles of the redoubt; i
yet their records show, that notwithstand
ing their President was slain, the inces
sant roar of cannon, the awful conflagra
tion of Charlestown, the whole town being,
in flames by order of Gage, the dwellings'
of their friends and neighbors, and per
ha
ps some of their own member tire,
yet not a man left his seat—and jour
nals of proceedings on that very day is;
very full, and marked with perfect deliber
ation—no allusion is found on their records
to the general alarm extending thirty miles
in every direction. They oven made no I
mention of the death of Warren till three
t
days after the fight, and then only in con
nection with nominating his successor.
This"is accounted for by the policy of
the times, it being considered unnecessary
to make any parade for the death of a man
dying for his .countryi This Congress
were in fact the commander-in -chief of the
army. They gave all military directions,
till Washington reached the camp. What
is equally singular, the records of the
General Congress, at Philadelphia, are
not only equally free from all boasting on
account of the wonderful victory, but they
even omit a fair and just account of Amer
ican bravery. The enemy construed this
extreme modesty into fear. Even their
addresses, both to the army and to the
enemy, were equally free from ostenta
tion.
In the spring of 1777, the English fleet
in. Now York had become an object of
much interest, and, the ingenuity of the
whole country was i n requisition to invent
some plan by which they could be blown
up. At length Mr. David Bushnell invent
ed a torpedo, with submarine machinery,
to be fleeted under water a long distance,
with a man to operate it,who Could secure
it under tho ship, anti then' havenn hour
to make his escape before the magazine
would explode. This \VdS so, far made
practical as to blow up a tender of the
frlgate.Cerberus! Commodore Simratins,
without suspecting thecause made 'an iof
ficio.l communication to Sir Peter. Parker
upon this eingulardisaster. Shortly after,
another attempt on 'the frigate Was made,
and :before the explosion the end of the
lino, as the tide receded, came to the sur
face, when it was drawn on board-,-and
while the machine was being oxen:fined, it
,ezploded and killed several' Mon. The pint
was thus discovered; and produced great
consternation among the English nZni-of
war, afterwards, whenever they.carrie into
port.. • There was st , general fear; and al
most. a' stipersticious dread of theselnfer-

element in which they live, answers ;the

furnished with a liquid to wash. it...andAt

they de when we look through deity,
glass. Along the edges of the eyelid there
are a great many . little tubes or glands,*
from which flows an oily substanceiwhich
spreads over the surface of the—skin • and
prevents the edges from becoming 'pore

tears Within the lid. There is, also „six
muscles attached, to , the eye, which
enables us to move it in every, direction.;
