Letter from gen. Sta.^^
At my quarters, Derry field,
My triends and fellow ioldiers.—
I received your's of the 22d irdlanr,
containing your f rvent expreflions
of friendftf p, and your very police
in v V;a tV m to tne rtwi t h y o u r cele
bration the 16 .h of Aug. in Ben
nington.
As you obferved, Dean never
forget that* I ‘ commanded Ame
rican troops * on the day In Ben
ningron-—They were men that had
not Jeatned rhe art of fubtmffion,
nor hsd they learnt the art of war.
R t ci r c afionifiling fuccefß taught
the enemies of liberty, char: undicip-
Iviedfreer.rn are fuperior to veteran
fii /es. And I fear we (hall have to
reach the kbfjn anew to that peifi
ctions nation.
Not king could afford me more
ph-afore than to meet the ( fins of
IP<er * fon that unfortunate fpot.-
Bat as you infcly anticipate the in- v
fi. nf ties of old age will not permit 5
for \ am now tour Tore and one
years old, and the lamp of life is al
nnk ‘bent. I have of late had ma
ny m b invitations, but was not
ready for there was not od enough
in the lamp.
You fay you wifii your young
mto to fee me, but who have Been
me can tell thei®, that I never was
worth much for a (how, and cer
tainly cannot be worth feeing now.
In cafe of my not being able to at
tend, you wifh my ientiments —-
them you (had have as free as me
air we breathe. As I was then I
am now— The friend of the equal
r gits of ram, of representative de
mocracy, of rcpublicani!m, and the
declaration of independence, the
g'cai: charter of our rational rights*
and of courfc the friend of the in
duTduble union and confiitution of
the ft ate. lam the enemy of ad
foreign influence-, for all foreign in
ti uence i s- the influence of cy 1 anoy.
This is the only chofen fpot of li
berty-—this is the only republic on
earth.
You well know, gentlemen, th it
at the time of the event you cdo
brace, there was a powerful Bot fin
fa&ion in die country (called tones)
and a material part of the force we
ha:l to contend with was tones. —•
Ths faclion was rankling in our
councils, till they had laid the foun
dation for the (übverfion of our li
berties. But by good fentinels at
our out ports we were appnied ot
o a d;*r;ger * and the lons of free
born beat the alarm—and, as at
Bennington, ( they came, they iavq
and they corquered.But again
tire faction has rallied to the charge
and again they have been beaten.
I is my orders now, and will be
my la.fi orders to all my volunteers
ro look well to their fenines : lor
there is a dangerous Britilh party
i 1 this country, lurking in their
hiding places, more dangerous chan
all our foreign enemies—and when
ever they frail appear openly, ren
der the fame account of them that
was given in Benniu.gton, let cheat
affume what name they will ; not
doubting that the ladies will be as
patriotic in furnifiiing every aid, as
they were at Bennington in ’77, who
even di(mantled their beds to fur
n -h cords to fecurc and kad them
c ifi.
