Tin owing I lie Tea Overhnnrel.
The following article appeared in the Now
York Daily Advertiser fifteen years ago. We
received it yesterday cnilosed in a letter from
one of inir-vcry oldest Revolutionary Heroes,
who still lingers on this side of the grave, and
who numbers fi)iir score years ami more, with a
request to re-insert it. The subject is worthy
el" a re-publication ; but if it worn not, we
could nut deny our venerable correspondent tlie
fa vi i r :
"These reflections occurred to ns, in ron.o
iicncp of mooting the other day, w ith n per
son iiiiiI probably the only surviving one, who
took a part in throwing the ten overboard from
the l!riti!-li ships in lkstou l.n-hotir undoubt
edly oucoflho measures which precipitated the
Revolution. His iinme is Joshua Wyeth, ti
relative of the celebrated John Wyeth, of Cam
bridge, whom every Harvard scholar, ol the
times tif the veuerahle Wilhird iiml Tapper so
well remembers, lie lives in this city, isturh-i-d
of seventy-live years, appears to he in rohust
health, and iineoinlnoiily cheerful, iilUionyh it
believed Ins circiniit-tii rictus aio stiaiolitened.
His simple narrative gave us vivid impression I
of the feelings. hicli aetuateil his fellow towns-
Inen on the (Kxasioil of bringing tea into Huston
harbour. News of' the most interesting char-in-ter
transpired everyday. Never was a peri
od so full of rumors and reports, which had not
yet acquired the horrible and b'oody in'erest to
unlit them for the tea table. The patriots saw
that the tiiir could not resist the sca-oning nt
the fragrant beverage, with the discussion of
these themes of universal interest, and it was
determined that they thoiild not be led into
Fiich irresistable temptation, nnd that it should
be removed by throwing the tea overboard. It
wis proposed that young men, not much known
in town and not liable to be easily recognized,
phonld lead the business. Our narrator be
lieves that most of the perse lis selected for
the occasion were apprentices and journeymen ;
not a tew of them, as was the case with hiin
n l!, living with the tory masters. lie had but
n few bouts warning of what was intended to
bo done. Thepait w hieh he took in tl.el.i--i-ness.

words :

if my associates, I only remember the names i
ofrrothiiigham, Mead, Martin and tirant. We i
i , . , ... ... . .
were met together one evening, talking over
the tyranny of the Ilrilish Government, such
as tin- heavy duties, shutting up of the port of
Huston, tin; murdering of .Mr. (irav's family,
sending the people to England for trial, und
tun.iry other acts of oppiession. Our indig
nation w as increased by having heard of the ar
rival of the tea ships nt this time. We b'tcci
tiiatil'the tea was landed the people could tint
w ithstand the temptation, and would certainly
buy it. We came to a sudden determination to
make sure work of it, by throw ing it ail over
board. We first talked of tiring the ships, but
we feared the lire would communicate to the
town. We then proposed sinking them, but
we dropped this project, through fear that we
should alarm the town, bi tbri; we could gi t 1
through w ith it. We had observ.-d that Aery j
few persons renamed on board the three ships,
, en 1 1 1.1 .. ,
iti.il we Imally concluded that we could take
possession of them, and discharge the tea into ',
the harlx.ur without danger or opposition. The
greate.-t objection U.oiir plan was, that it would
take such a great length of lime to carry il
tiinnijjli, and render us more lwhlo to detection.
We a o rce.l, one and all tli.il we Would goon

trive the mode of hccompl.shing our business.
One of the ships laid nt Hancock's w hari", and
the other a few paces out in the stream, with
the ir warps made tiist to the sumo wharf. A
l.ii;- u;e of Itrilish celdiers was encamped 011
the 1 1 lumen, less thtiii a mile from Oie w harf.
We agreed, in order, as much ns we might
prevent ourselves from beino- di--ir cied, to

bold, nnd passed the clie.il s tu the tackle.
As they were hoisted on deck eome knocked
them open with axes, and other raised them
to the ruil.ng, and discharged their contents
overboard. All that were not titedcd for diu-
charging the tea from this ship, went on bonrd
the others mid w..ried 'llujriXlnto the wharf,
wheie the Mine ceremonies were repealed as
nt the first hip. While we wqrc unlading, the
people collected in great numbers mIkiuI the
wharf, to see what was going on. They crowd
ed uhotittis so ns to be much in our wuy. We
paid no attention to them, nor (Jul they say any
tiling to us. They evidently wished us suc

could not stop any who insisted cn passing. If
we had been able it would not have been a

complained of us to the civil authorities. I be

about the business next morning. The lories,

called the business divert h"fd name. I 'rec

were all to no purpose. We pretended to be
