FA TIC VED and insulted, as the officers of
this brigade have been by your orders, and
harrafted, as the citizens coult autly are with your
attempts for military arrangements, the feeling*
i of all are rouzed to oppofitiou, and you are
obliged at length to give up that military phren
j zy you pofiefs, and retreat behind your park of ’
artillery.
To trace tfoe pre fern caufie cf your disgrace to : •
its louree, I must biing into view your Brigade *
Ci ders. It is with reltiftance lam obliged to re
vive and give lite to orders that never merited
-exigence, I believe they never were obeyed i—
(lumbering from their creation, they were soon
cuniigned to their fate. I wiflied to have drawn a
viel over this ignominy, although I (hould commit
violence on my sentiments, at which my feelings
revolted; but you are not fatisfied that your fel
low-citizens were willing to (hade your folly, and
•hide, jour, error in obfcurlty i. at length have,
dtagg’d yourfelf intq public viewi" As you have been
a candidate for disgrace, I will give you my votes
I never give my vote but when the candidate is
deferviug. To fay any thing in excuse for pub-'
lifliing your orders, is not necc/fary, for they'
fcoth the viel of decency, and you have put mili- r
ury honor out of countenance. - Was it not fport**
ing with candour and truth, it w uld be my wifli
to give a favourable feature to your military pro«
dud ions before 1 brought them into'public view**
but any favourable attempts would recoil on youf'
performances, as the mete appearance of
darling ohild of your’s mud fhotk deformity it-
IjClf, Now, Sir, tor your orders.
