THE PATRIOT WAR.
DURING the fall of 1837 there occurred one of the most curious, and what would now be classed as inexcusable and insane episodes that Jefferson county and the whole northern frontier had ever witnessed-nothing more nor less than a popular effort on the part of American citizens to overthrow the govern- ment of Canada by an unwarranted invasion of the frontier towns, expecting to arouse the people to immediate participation in the re-
bellious effort as soon as a stand should have been made. Ridiculous as this affair appears at this day, it was a popular and an enthu- siastic effort at that time, drawing into its service many educated and apparently level- headed men, and meeting with an amount of sympathy with the northern public that was really astonishing.
There had been for some time considerable discontent in Canada, the people claiming that

they were virtually shut out from proper participation in the government, and their repeated efforts to obtain better legislation had been disregarded, and at times treated with contempt. This discontent was more pronounced in the Lower Province, where the French Canadians had great influence, and had never in their hearts yielded a loyal sup- port to the English rule over a country which had once belonged to France. It was said at the time that the issues made by the Cana- dians against their rulers were greater than the causes that separated the American colonies from the English. The Reform party in Parliament of the Upper Province was led by William Lyon Mckenzie, and Papenau was the leader in the Lower Prov- ince. The Tory home government sustained all the oppressive acts of the local government. The Reform party refused to vote supplies for the support of the government, and the Parliaments were dissolved. The excitement had become great all through the provinces, extending to the frontiers on this side. The parliament buildings at Montreal were burned. The first collision between the Reform parties and the Tories, in the Upper Province, was on Yonge street, Toronto, where several were killed. The feeling now became very intense. The Reform party contained many determined and resolute men, but they desired relief from British oppression through peaceful means They had never contemplated a resort to arms, but the feeling in both provinces was aroused to such an extent that it could not be peaceably con- trolled. The feeling for the relief of Canada seemed to pervade all classes; secret societies were formed in the principal towns on this side as well as on the Canadian side of the river They were called Hunter's Lodges, and had signs and passwords by which they could recognize each other.
In the summer of 1837, William Lyon Mc- Kenzie and Gen. VanRensselaer with 300 men established themselves on Navy island in Canadian waters, between Chippewa and Grand Island, in the Niagara river. Rein- forcements came to Navy Island from the American side. The little steamer "Caro- line " was chartered to carry passengers and freight to the island from Buffalo. On the night of November 29, 1837, while this steamer was moored at Schlosser's wharf, a captain in the English army with a company of British soldiers, boarded her and after murdering one of her crew, and wounding several others, set her on fire, and cutting the boat loose, sent her adrift over Niagara Falls. One Captain Alexander McLeod. while on a debauch at Niagara, made his boast that he was one of the gang that burned the Caroline. He was arrested for the murder of Durfee. His trial was commenced at Canandaigua, but it was considered unsafe and he was removed to Utica. His defense was that he acted under the authority of the British govern- ment. He proved an alibi and was acquitted, being defended by able Canadian lawyers. The outrage was complained of by Governor
Marcy to Martin Van Buren, then President of the United States, but no demand on the British government was ever made. The President issued a proclamation forbidding all persons from aiding or assisting, in any way, the rebellious acts of any people, or collection of people, who interfered with the execution of the laws of a friendly nation, declaring all such persons outlaws and not entitled to the protection of the American government.
Great preparations were soon made for an attack upon Kingston, while the St. Lawrence was bridged with ice. On the night of February 19, 1838, the arsenal at Watertown was broken into and 400 stand of arms were taken. The arsenals at Batavia and Eliza- bethtown were also plundered. On the 20th of February patriots began to flock to French Creek in large numbers with a supply of arms and ammunition, consisting of 1,000 stand of arms, 20 barrels of cartridges and a large store of provisions. It was intensely cold, and the men suffered from exposure. Gen- eral Rensselaer VanRensselaer, a son of General VanRensselaer, of the war of 1812, was to assume the command. Either through the cowardice of the officers or the men, no man saw Canadian soil, and after much talk of bravery the men dispersed to their homes. It was reported that Colonel Bonnycastle, at the head of 1,600 men, was coming from Kings- ton to make an attack upon the town, and through fear and of the loved ones at home, the patriots scattered without much ceremony, leaving all their arms and ammunition be- hind. This flight homeward was as ridiculous as their attempt was insane.
On the night of May 30, 1838, the Canadian steamer, Sir Robert Peel, which was com- manded by John B. Armstrong, on her way from Brockville to Toronto, with 19 passen- gers and about £20,000 in specie for paying off the troops in the Upper Province, was taking on wood at McDonnell's wharf, in the southern channel of the St. Lawrence. near Alexandria Bay, when a company of men, led by "Bill " Johnson, the alleged hero of the Thousand Islands, disguised and painted like savages, armed with muskets and bayonets, rushed on board, shouting, "Remember the Caroline." The night was dark and rainy. The passengers (who were asleep in the cabin) together with the crew were ordered on shore. The boat was then pushed out into the river and burned. The sunken hull can be seen there to this day. Heavy rewards were offered for the apprehension of the offenders by both governments. Twelve of the band were arrested and held in the Watertown jail for about six months. Among the names were William Anderson, James Potts, Nathan Lee, Chester Warner, Seth Warner, William Smith, Marshall W. Forward, William S. Nichols, Henry S. Hunter and James Hunter. On the 2d of June, Anderson was indicted and held for arson in the first degree. He was tried before John P. Cushman, one of the circuit judges, and defended by Calvin McKnight, Benjamin Wright, John Clark and Bernard Bagley. After a deliberation of two hours
