A PUBLIC SACaiFICF
To the juil vengeance of ,
AN INSULTED PSOPLE.
From the New-York Daily Cazettee.
Mr. M'Leait,
A pamphlet entitled, " The Trial
of DANIEL ISAAC EATON, for
publilhinga supposed Libel, comparing
the King cf England to a Game Cock,"
has lately made its appearance, and in
my opin'on, is, in some refpedts, not
the least excellent, among the several
reports with which we have, from time
to time, been p.vefented.—This mar;,
who appears to be a bookseller, was ar
reted, and committed to prif>n, .vhere
he lay three months, becatife his pover
ty or want of a friendly patron, would
not admit of finding bail, himfelf in
100 1. and two sureties in 5001. each.
At the expiration of that term his trial
commenced at the Old Baily; and it
yields singular pleasure to humanity,
that the jury, after retiring one hour,
returned a verdict of net guilty. If we
reflect upon the tyranny exercised north
of the Tweed, upon several defsrving
characters, who labored, in concert
i with Mr. Pitt and the Duke of Rich
mond, to efFect ateformin Parliament,
we cannot but Hand aftouilhed, that any
man could be found hardy enough to
decide a praise worthy conduct to be
sedition, as was the cafe with Muir,
Gerald, &c. It is equally Orange, and
equally claims attention, that a man was
found guilty for merely repnbli/hi'ig Mr.
Pitt's speeches, ancf the Duke of Rich
mond's letter ; things not deemed cul
pable a few years since, but now prodi
giously criminal. The instance before
US of poor Eaton, is .some relief to the
mind ; and I hope
ed as I am) thai '»e re-publilher (Mr.
Wayland) will experience "We public
favor in a rapid fa*. I •»»« howcver >
fugged to him, that ;s <sJ.is too much
for a bock of its size. I think it wouL
do better at is. od. It would be more
profitable to himLlf, and more within
The reach of the indigent. He must
reflect, that the public are a.molt lated
with matters of this for:—Policy will
then induce him to attend to the recom-
mendation. , . ,
Mr. Gu'ney's speech in favor of the
defendant is an elegant thing, and mult
afford plea fir e to every reader of talte.
If he is a yonng man he certainly bids
fair for eminence. He lays (and the
ferttiment ri obviously applicable) " The
Empress of Ruilia is the Skpherdefs *
of a vast flock ; bin as it was not fufh:-
cntly numerous for the exercise of her
boujidlcfs pbilant^;"jp : , f flw has late y,
by a little gentle augment
ed it by a cons dciable number of the
Polish breed. She and our worthy al
ly, the King of Ptuffia, have gone hand
i . hand, in th'.s hlefied word of encieaf
ing their fiveks. Fo.Tb'y neither you
nor I IhouU chufe to call these two mo
narchs Wolf fheph r V but 1 fancy
we Should none of us be disposed to pu
nish very feverelv the man who did.
Again. " Gentlemen, if you find the
defendant guilty, con filler what you de
termine, under the awfui fan&ion of an
attestation of the Supreme being. You
fwcar lo the 'truth of every word and
fyliable of tins indi&menl. You swear
that by this Game Cock, this haughty
and sanguinary tyrant, nursed from his
infancy In blood and (laughter, is meaot
the King of Great Britain and no other.
You swear, too, that that King is a
tyrant, for so the indidtmcrtt charges
him to be. You sweat that an t.bfer
vat ion on Kings in general, must neces
sarily include him. Besides that, you
not only Iweftr that so you underltand
it, but that so did the defendant mean.
Can you lay your hands on your hearts
and ivvear ail this ? Can you lie down
on your pillows without feeling thorns
in the reflation that that man, who
has already been impi ifoned near three
months upon indiSment, is to be im
prisoned two or thiee years longer, and
his wife and children reduced to beggary
and want, sis aufe you have fancied that
a [enk prima facie so foreign, may 'pos
sibly belong tu this paper." An ex I raft
cannot do jutlice to a speech, brilliant
throughout. The public is referred to
the book iticlf.
