The murder f John Pierce \ —That!
which has long been anticipated by the i

i.u.red. From in/ult “ lus mr*.fly’s ships !
at the Hock, ouithin our very water’, .
have proceeded to murder ! The Brit
ish govern went—British theorv—B.itiilr

the everlasting themes of fedcra- eu
logy. Wires Britifn (hips of war have
before come within the Hook—iinpref
fed our Seamen—insulted our country,
and v'olated its laws, who htve carri s
SED the verry 1 ffi. ers that have commit
ted these outrages? The fediralists!
VYhtn during the reign of John Adam,,
capt. Jtffup was flopped cn the high fcas
visited by a British lieutenant and hie
and, on the quarter deck of hi;
own flvp, was trippe.i, tied up, arid dr
hbtrjtely, cruelly, a. and inhumai ly flog
g<d, who were the apologists of the
degrading rad attrocious adt ! The fed
eralisi s ! Capt jt’fTup appealed to he:
j country, Appealed to his government foi

I tiling fact. And what wr.- the conie
qicnc ! Why, Timoty Pickering, a
vtnfcßALisr, John Adams’ ‘cen tary of
’ Rate, wrote to the mifereant who hr,d
flogged the American captain, on hi
j American Chip, procured from him a hah
j way denial of the hogging, and th.cn de
j dared officially, that the declaration o
the Britljh officer was to be believed be

Are not these things remembered ? Can
they ever be forgotten ?

condudt cf tlie federshfts ? How long j
is it liuce the Leanrler was her befort j
—that very Bntittl fhlp Ltander whott !

Murder? My readers will recollect ths l
he Leander, the Driver (loop of war
&c- were at the Hook in June, July,
and August of 1804, and that then k
>tir own waters, they insulted our inde
pendence—violated the laws ot the U.
States—le'tfted the authority of the mar
