1 air, sensible of the impro
. rie y of publishing any thing at
his time on the untimely death
of this mi able young gentle
man, but my apologv is the par
ty paiagraphs which have ape r
eu refpeiling it in the Evening j
Holt. Under the pretence or
ab!ailing pa-ty efrorts, Mr Cole
man has wantonly called np par
ty ecimg". With what I have
to (iy on the catifcs which le<i to
the death of the young gentle
mar,, ! w.ll however mingle as
little of party as pofTiblc. The
public leem to call for infor
-1 nat 10 1 concerning the murder,
I he fades which follow, are ver
baliy communicated to me by j
an intelligent gentleman from!
Uolloti, and they are strength- j
ened by written information-
In Cofto.;, as here, th* feder
al pmty have ior (tveral years
made it a point to difeounte
nance the celebration of our in
<
tirptndence, allerting that it is!
inconfillenc with a cordial a i iry j
with Great Hriiain. With them I
therefore, to be confident, the!
celebration has every year be-;
coming more and more a farce.
Flic iepubiic.au party in Botlo
have, h iwever, celebrated tile
tluy wi ii fplendour, and this i
year, elated with the lair prof-:
pvCl of repubiicanizing the Rate,
it was commemorated by them
with ui.ulu.il rnagriiticcnce.
Finding that they arc defeend
ing in t!.e date, witiiouc per. aps|
the power of retarding tlicrr fall,
he. lederal party, as a date trick,
had tins y-.-ar recourse to a com
memoration of the day. Re ■
Living as an expedient, to c-d
----ebr.te it, every thing pofiiffic
! was to be done to make a good
exterior appearance, i hey wen
lufficiently early in their arrange-;
i.ems to fccuie to tliemieives
Faiiulel Hall. As the republi
cans were to be together, they
iiad therefore houle accummooa
cion to icek.
The republican committee, of
which Mr. benjamin Audio, fa
ther of the deceaied, and known
during the reign of tenor as the
writer ot Old South, was chair
man, w need on the keeper of the
Jcllerfon Inn, at the foot of
GiyL Hill, and engaged-with
him, bv written contract, to pro
vide dinner for four humhe-,
pc i lons. He agreed to l urmlh
four hundred with dinner a: o n
dollar each, die company find
j ing the.r own wines The inn
keeper had ictidtd in but
about fourteen months.
As loon as the written agree
ment was made, the chairman
ot the republican cormni tee,
hearing that the Fun:ban amb f
iador and Mr. C.ithcart had ar
rived in town, lent them a note
of invitation to du.e, which was
accepted ; belides theie the com
mittee invited eighteen gentle
men ; there were therefore twen
ty cxi 1 * covers to be fuinilhed
which was Hated to the J ether
son in:.-keeper, and to whom it
j was added, that, an adequat.
compenlation would he a,ad;
for the extra number.--The da:
was joyfully (pent.
A few days after, the com
mittce, with ns chairman, caked
copay their bill, which was Ra
ce cl by the landlord to be lever,
hundred dollars. i'ne commit-1
tee offered him four hundred
dollars, according to agreement,
and ti ty dollars for the twenty
exua, but he u.li k’d on levcn
hundred dollars, aliedging that;
m bridging an extra nutTioer the!
agrtemenc was broken. The
Inn keeper laid tnat he had con
luktdvw.h T. O. Sell tit Ige, the
o.urderer of young Aulb.n ; v. !.o
had adviled him to demand the
leven hundred dollars, and oife
red to carry on a prolecutiou a
gamtt tiie chairman of t le com
i ittee for us recovery, gratis
Hie commit ee then offered the
and ior J one hundred dollars
or the tx.ra iiUiUier, but lie re
iking c > accept it, the commit
tee retired

l(,ws who had not paid the poor
Inn-holder for their feaftintr.
The Repertory is published by
a cox-coi'nb of the name of Park,
who copying Mr. Coleman, imi
tates his meanness.
Finding that Selfridge, for lit
tle p trty purpose, had thus abet
red extortion, tire committee, to
get rid of ti e Inn-holder whom
•.hey Found to be a federal iff,
paid the leven hundred dollars.
After the money was paid the
attacks continued in the Reper
tory.
Mr. Autiin, chairman of the
j committee, being told on the
;ex hange, as a lort of disgrace,
J that the man’s bill was unpaid, 1
he cciwtred that it was not, and
added a relation of the part that
Stlfridge had aded with the
landlord. NeJtc day Selfridge
met Mr, Austin in the ftreec, and
‘afleedhim if he had stated that
|he had advised a prosecution r j
i He arilwertd that he had, and he 1

words or make an apology, ’’ Scl
ri :ge retired :
ihe fame evening, without !
j . , o’ J
\ further communication with Air. (
Hujliu, Stlfridge sent a note to
a federal puper “ polling him as
a liar, a fcou idrel, and a cow
ard.” Mr. Austin received a
, | proof Left of the note the night
before it was published, so that
on the lame day it was thus an-
Iw■ red in the Chronicle, a re
| publican paper—
“ Coilidering it derogatory to

Ex trail of a letter from Mr. Par- ’
rifh, interpreter and ajfijlant
jir the fix Nations if Indians ,
to Oliver Phelps, Esq. of this
town, dated
“ Genzsee, July 20.
c< Y r ou are, undoubtedly, ap
prii* and of the alarm which has
been excited among many of the \
U'iiid and uniformed people in j
the counties of Qntaiio and Geo- |
elee, by the lace Indian c >uncil j
held ac this place. A report is I
in circulation, which is encour-!
aged by many artful and mis
chievous people, thac this meet
ing war. for purposes hoftiie to
the whites, and that they had j
relolved on a gentral mafTtcre
of the inhabitants in this part of
the .country I—And fbch is the
confternatioh excited by these
reports, than many farnilies have
aduilly left thur habitations, be
retired to the call ward ; and l>v
eral adventurers from eastern
states, who were corning into r ht
county of Genefee to’ jiurciraie
farms, have been flopped ;*t the
river, anti returned home, -with
out enetting the ohjett cf their
journey, tclung the rnoft frig i:
I'jJ tales to ail they meet.
“ I have conftantlv attended
the councils of the Indian*, from
the time of their Gift convening
until the day when they difpei i
ed, and iu little cause is thc;e of
alarm, that 1 have never, on any
former occasion, oofe v and then
lo quiet, and to peaceibiy cfif
poled. Ihe objeft of their mee
ting was to agree on lores inter
nal regulations for the govern
ment of their people. The coun
!-(l was called by the Fhophet
(a brother of Corn Plainer,) who,
you know, is a religious enthu
Halt, and has, for fonit lime pa ft,
be.n very zealuully engaged in
endeavouring to inculcate cer
tain religious dottrints in the iu
uians, to prevent them from
dunking wiulkey, and to per
luade cnem to adopt tie modes
ot iiving and arts o’ tne write
people. Three days w:rs occu
pied bv the Indians, solely in
i ciaiing the eir->rs of ibeir p lit
lives to the Prophet, who has
become their confcfldr. i'belt*
were the only matters of coriTe
quence difculFed a: the late coun
cil. T heir principal bufinrls
with ire was to foiicit my influ
ence in preventing the merchants
and tavern-keepers from Idling
whiskey to the Indians.
“ Fhe chiefs were much dil
appointtj that you did not at
tend with iv.e agreeably to their
request; and they have defined
me to inform you of their pro
ceedings, which they hope sv.ll
meet your approonion, and .o
allure you that the repott in cir
cuit.ion, or their entertaining
hoitile defigr.s towards tiie white
people, is wuuUy without foun
