GEO: TOWN 13. Oct. 1801.
DEAR SIR :-- I received yours containing the hundred dollars which you were pleased to return. As yet none of the gentlemen have come down but Mr. Johns & Mr. Vandyke. It was thought best by Mr. Johns & myself to postpone giving you an answer upon the subject of the invitation you were so obliging to make, till thursdays mail, that we might know the disposition of the other gentlemen.
I remain as ever yours O. HORSEY.

DEAR SIR :- I send you the document by the driver and please to accept my thanks for the use of it. I am not able to give you a precise account of the little elections. The general result tho' is we are beat in 3 Hds. and have beat in 7. The Majority in Broad Creek and L. Rohoboth are something greater against us than they weer the last year, but the Majority in N. W. Fork is considerably lefs. All the rest have terminated much as usual.
Our first meeting is at Isaac Shorts on tomorrow. The next day it is at Mrs. Wests the widow of Tho: Wests. The Thursday succeed- ing at Eli Williams in Ceder Creek and next day at Bridge Branch. And the next day at English's. If your health will admit of it your attendance will be very material. I calculate on a bold opposition

from the other party. They will no doubt send their oritors round with us.
We have taken great pains to draw our conferees out next tuesday and I am persuaded we shall have a full meeting. The Com. of Con. are to meet that day Mr. Rodney is written to and will no doubt attend. My expectation is great upon the good effects of this Meet- ing. We must here afsign some of the most active to ride from house to house in each hundred and we must endeavour to devise ways & means to get those out who have not conveyances of whom I am told there is a great number in Ceder Creek.
In hase Yours sincerely O. H.

DEAR SIR :- I have recd another duning letter from Black for his $20. This letter is dated the 22d inst. What has become of your remittance? It must have miscarried. I did not think to ask you when here if you had ever recd the ten dollars I enclosed you, but I take it for granted you did. I sd be glad to here from you on this subject.
I have just got about after a weeks confinement by an inflamation in my face occasioned by an unsuccessful attempt to extract a tooth. Yours truly &c O. HORSEY

DEAR SIR :- In Leues & R. we have lost our Inspector but have carried our Afsefsor C. Wiltbank by a majority of 5. This our friends consider a great victory & the demos. are completely downd. Every exertion was made on both sides. The election was as large as the last year & the year before. We have beat in N. W. Fork hand- somely Laws & Handy are elected by a majortty of 31. In short we shall have all the little elections except Brad Creek where I am told we did not intend to make opposition. Indian R. Little Creek & Nanticoke I have heard from they are ours. We shall certainly attend to the Levy Lists. As Laws is elected I take it for granted that Sordein continues. I am unable to answer as to David Smith but will endeavour to send you word tuesday next. We have up- wards of £20. subscribed to the Library.
Yours truly. O. H.

MY DEAR FRIEND :- I but this moment recd enclosing the note yours without date. I fear its too late. But I have guarded against [illegible] by sending my note endorced by Mr. Ridgely to meet yours in Bank. So there can be no protest. I have tho endorced the note you enclosed & sent it to Mr. Worrell & have directed him to return it to me in case it should not be in time.
Your prize shall be attend to. Harrison has been surprized & se- verely handled by the Prophet. The U. S. Troops lost in killed & wounded 179-out of about 700-Numbers engaged nearly equal on both sides. Harrison was surprised by a piece of the most refined treachery. The Prophet on the day of the morning before he made the attack, sent about forty men to Harrison of a tribe supposed to be most averse to the war with the U. S. who afsured Harrison that

they were the friends of the U. S. & ubraided him for having shewn such a want of confidence in them-, that they did not mean war & would intercede with the Prophet & that a White flag should be sent the next day. The next morning about 4. oclok the Indians killed the centinels with arrows & got into the midft of the camp of our troops before so unexpectly that many were tomihocked before they could drefs themselves. Our men as soon & as well as they could abandoned the camp & rallied & formed at some distance. When the action afsumed a lefs promiscuous & more regular form & con- tinued till about sun rise, when upon the appearance of the horse the Indians gave way. I saw a letter from a Capt Wells who was in St. Clairs defeat & had fought with Waine & been in many Indian fights but says this was the hardest & best maintained on both sides. Our troops followed the Indians & burnt the Prophets Town wch was in about one mile of the camp, & on returning to the frontiers. They were about 100 Miles in the Indian Territory from the set- tlements, and it is apprehended, may suffer much on the retreat for want of provisions as the Indians destroyed nearly all their provisions while they had pofsefsion of t camp & sd the Indians attack them on the retreat, wch is apprehended some suppose we must suffer very severely, if not be destroyed.
A very serious riot has lately happened at Savannah. Two French Privateers were burnt, & the [illegible] were obliged to fly to the Jail as an asylum agst the fury of t mob. It or [illegible]-a banditti of French sailors had stabbed two americans, sailors, who it seems were buried a la [illegible] Pearce, I mean in solem procefsion. Our tars as soon as they had paid their last tribute to thir brothers resolved to be avenged. They were Joined by the Citizens & immediately pofsefsed themselves of one of the Privateers & burnt her. In the mean time the other was armed by French & a body of Mareens belonging to U. S. who were ordered to protect the vefsel. [illegible] they got another vefsel & loaded her with combustable material & were laying her along side of the privateer to blow her up. Our marines seeing the fury of the afsailants abandoned the privateer to her fate. She also was burnt.
This is news enough for one letter, in case you have not seen or heard it before. The documents are not printed yet.

MY DEAR WELLS :- The cashier of the bank at Laurel has in- formed me that the rules of the Bank require that persons residing out of the County should have two indorcers residents of the County. I had a note for one thousand dollars discounted at that Bank some time ago which runs out the 27th of next month wch was indorced by two gentlemen of this town and to bring it within the rules of the Bank Mr. Bull and Mr. Polk were good enough to volunteer their indorcements. As I do not wish to impose on the goodness of Mr. Bull I have taken the liberty to send the enclosed note for your indorsement and will thank you to indorse the same and take it with you if you are a director, or otherwise send it to Mr. Polk the cashier in due time, to whom I have written. If it should be convenient to you I should be very glad if you would attend the Sen-

MY DEAR WELLS :- I was not at home when your letter arrived, but had I been it would not have saved the protest as the notarial seal had been affixed to it before your letter was mailed or at least before the date of the post mark. The truth is, tho the officers of the bank growl and snarll, you are very popular with the notary & so long as your custom enables him to buy his bread he will praise you for your absence of mind & wish you forgetfulness. It is however well enough. Your forgetfulness operates as a benevolence. The notary is a worthy revolutionary officer & like most of his surviving compeers, poor and needy. He is worthy of your charity & may your memory fail you while his wants continue.
Every other blessing I wish you with all my soul. O. HORSEY
N. B .- Please sign the note enclosed "twice" & send it without delay to y cashier of the bank at Laurel & request him to procure Mr. Polke's endorsement. Also please send y check with y note.
Yr letter being 3ble I had to pay 25 cents additional postage & will balance y % by putting y postage of this letter upon you.

DAGSBOROUGH 10 June 1795.
SIR :- Having been summoned to attend the Circuit Courts, as a Grand Juror, and it not being in my Power to obey this notice, I think it my Duty to communicate to the Court the occasion of my not attending. At the Time I received the Marshall's Summons, it was fully my Intention to have complied with its Requisition. I had, but a few Days, returned from condoling with the Friends of my honor'd, deceased mother, when it became necessary for me to leave Home, again, in pursuance of the Summons I have mentioned. Not- withstanding the considerable Inconvenience of undertaking another long Journey under these Circumstances, I resolved to discharge my Duty, & accordingly did set off; but I had scarce proceeded twenty Miles before my Horse became fick & I was compelled to return. Thus, Sir, I shall be prevented from attending, not, I beg Leave to assure the Court, by a Disposition to treat its orders without proper

FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES. To the PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES No. 12.
FRIENDS & COUNTRYMEN :- I quit the Farmer in my last Number just as he was boasting that the Innocence of the Federalists, with regard to the Charge against them of embezzling the public Money, had been made as clear as the Sun at Mid-day. As I mean to reserve myself until he has done, I shall not at this Moment, trouble you with any Comments of mine upon this extraordinary Production of his; but proceed to give it to you as he has given it to me.
THE FARMER'S LETTER
to RICHARD FALSTAFF, continued.
"Be so good as to tell me, Mr. Falstaff, why Congress does not call up the List of "black stocking" Gentry, that have made away with the public Money during the administrations of Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Madison? For a very plain Reason they do not, because the People would then see the damning Proofs that their own Party had been guilty of the very Offences that they falsely charged the Federalists with.
I confess to you, upon this Subject, I can not restrain my Indig- nation. Such Villany ought not to go unpunished-a Whip ought to be put into the Hand of every honest Man to lash it through the World. Twenty two thousand dollars given to one Favourite !- and a hundred thousand stolen and run away with by another !- two very pretty little Items in the account of Virtue and Patriotism!
Yes, Sir, the Federalists were honest men; and after your Party had slandered them-vilely slandered them out of the good opinion
313
MISCELLANEOUS RECORDS.
of their Fellow Citizens, your Leaders thought it wise to make a Merit of Necessity, and candidly acknowledge them honest Men. You, and the whole of you, have now had nearly twelve years for Enquiry and Investigation, and, I repeat, there is not a single Federalist, employed in the Government of the United States, upon whom you have been able to fix the Charge of Peculation. All the Instances of Corruption, and Knavery, and Falsehood, and Deceit and Treach- ery that have happened in the Affairs of the United States Govern- ment, for now nearly four and twenty Years, have been on your Side of the House.
You seem to think the Villany of Brown of New Orleans a trifle. Sir, was it a Trifle to run away with more than a hundred Thousand Dollars of the public Money? That Sum would have defrayed the govermental Expenses of some of our smaller States for nearly ten years. The Embezzlement of about the like Sum by one of your leading Republicans, formerly of New York, now of New Orleans, you pafs over with the same nonchalance. I suppose you would consider as a Trifle the Present made by Mr. Jefferson, at the very threshold of his Administration, out of the public Money to Mr. Cal- lender: not only contrary to Law, but in violation of the Consti- tution which he was sworn to support. The princely Present of Twenty two thousand Dollars to Mr. Erving you skipped over: know- ing, perhaps, that the least that was said upon that Topic the better -- because an Investigation of it would implicate your Idol Jefferson- his Deputy Madison-and their myrmidons in Congrefs who assisted in throwing the Veil of Authority over that shamelefs Transaction. You may say that Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Madison ought not to be responsible for the malconduct of their Agents. I am fully aware, I acknowledge, that bad Men will get into office sometimes notwith- standing all the Foresight and Vigilance that can be exercised: but both of those Gentlemen ought to be responsible when they have been in the Practice of confiding important Trusts to notorious Swindlers and blackstocking adventurers. Mr. Madison, most es- pecially, ought to be answerable when he acknowledges that he rec- ommends men to the Senate whom, he knows at the Time, are un- worthy of the Appointments he nominates them for.
You will [must] excuse me for not dismissing the Subject of Money Affairs so soon as you may wish to get rid of it. Your Leaders were wont formerly to dwell a good deal upon this Subject: but, in this Respect at least, they have entirely failed to fix any Stigma upon the poor Federalists, who have come out of the Furnace you heated for them unhurt. I am not going [disposed] to throw you into that Furnace, much as you deserve it: but you cannot surely blame me for wishing to put you, and your Friends to some little Trial. We will say nothing more of the TWENTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS made a Present of to Mr. Ervine: but, if you please, we will turn our attention from the civil to the military Department. Your Idol professed to have a great Regard for the "Mouth of Labour;" and you shall see what pretty, nice, sweet little Things he reserved for the mouths of his Friends.
From the 7th of December 1803 to the 24th of April 1804 (just four Months and seventeen Days) Governour Clairborne and General Wilkinson were employed, as Commissioners, in taking Possession
314
SOME RECORDS OF SUSSEX COUNTY.
of New Orleans, and their TABLE EXPENCES, for that Period, amounted to SIX THOUSAND, SIX HUNDRED AND NINETEEN DOLLARS AND SEVENTY TWO CENTS. I shall not trouble you with more than a few Items from the List of Particulars such as 844 Bottles of Claret (a very costly wine)-nine hundred and twelve Bottles of Madeira (the Farm- ers of Lancaster County in Pennsylvania know what Madeira costs) 144 Bottles of Champaign (a very nice and delicate Wine & comes confoundedly high)-fifty Bottles of white Wine (I don't know much about that) 100 Bottles of Hermitage (old Hermitage, I suppose, that must cost I should guefs three or four Dollars, at the least, a Bottle) 558 Bottles of red wine (this, I suppose, must be Tokay-it comes all the way from the Dominions of Bonaparte's Father in Law, and they say it is a most charming wine-rich, luscious and aromatic in the highest Degree-I'll set this down, as the Farmer does not tell us how much it costs, at half an Eagle a Bottle-and I wish to gracious I had some of it this moment at Hand to drink General Wilkinson, & Governor Clair- borne & Mr. Jeffersons healths :- but I beg your Pardon, Mr. Farmer, go on again if you please with your Bill of Fare) 81 Bottles of Porter (we all know what this is, and if I had been Mr. Jefferson's Accomptant I would have allowed him for 81 Hogsheads instead of 81 Bottles-for it looks ashamed resting on the Ground under the "huge Legs" of the other Items.) 258 Bottles of Ale (surely the Ale & Porter Brewers of New Orleans must have brought themselves under the Displeasure of our noble General) 67 gallons of Brandy (this is worse than all-67 gallons of Brandy !- this was not more than enough to have made Fog slings for the General & the Governor-which, for four months and feventeen Days was just half a gallon a piece for every morning. Lord if our poor foldiers that died there like rotten sheep could have had enough of this they would still have been alive to help us take the Canadas from the British.) and ELEVEN THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY CEGARS. (In New England here, I admit that eleven thousand three hundred & fifty Cegars (Spanish Cegars too I suppose) would be a pretty good Al- lowance for a couple of hearty fellows and a few Friends for four months & feventeen Days: but the Farmer does not consider that the gingling of Glasses & the Smoke of Tobacco are absolutely necessary, at New Orleans, to keep off the Musquitoes: and besides, too, he totally forgets that Mr. Jefferson sent those Gentlemen to take possession of New Or- leans and it would have been a pretty story if they had surrendered them- selves Prisoners to the Musquitoes, as the Southern People have the Impudence to say some of our Yankey officers did to the Bullfrogs during our Revolutionary war.) I omit the Cakes, the Mackaroons, and the Sugar Plumbs (Lord why would you leave them out ? You don't con- sider how much good they may have done ? Would you have had our Republican General and Governor to have gone about among the Women . and Children, like old Elves, with hard boiled Eggs in their Pockets? You can't suppose that two fuch old Fellows could have been liquorish enough to have eaten those things themselves :- no-no-they made better use of them, they distributed them to the Women and Children: and when the General gave to the Men of this new Country some of his rich, luscious Tokay, they, no Doubt, exclaimed with Calaban,
