A correspondent obferves that
f r °m an early period of our re
volution, the name of Pickering
has been ocraiiona ly thruft
foi ward by fomc fmgulanty,
which commands no more than
a temporary notice, by Come aft
that was no way commanding
cf admiration, but which by
iomc new circumftances obtain
ed a kind of body, that is more
remarkable than agreeable He
n ifties therefore to know if it be
the fame man who on lo many
occafions has been thus in the
way of notice.
It appears that on the 18th of
A pul, 1775. a regiment, and the
only organized regiment which
was at the me morable battle of
Texington, was commanded by
a colcad Pickering, In the
courfe of that day, the men cf
that regiment were impatient for
battle, and he was direfted to
m ke a movement by which he
could have cut off the retreat of
earl Picrcy. Colonel Pickering
evaded the movement, and fuf
fered the flying Britilh to return
to Bofton. By this a6t an op
portunity was loft which might
have given a fignal and more
fpeedy iffuc to the war.
Pray is this the fame Mr,
Pickering whom Mr. Liflon fa
miliarly betitledwith the double
defignation of colonel Pickering
fccretary ot ftate.
In an infurreftion of fomc
Conncfticui fettlcrs on the rear
of this commonwealth, a few
y ar* ago, the inlurg-nts were
commanded by a perion of the
name of Oliver Wolcott, and
this officer took prifoner a colo
nel Pickc ing, then command
ing a legally embodied force, and
he tied colonel Pickering unto
the ftump of a tree; from
whence comes he New-England
phrafe of Mr. of
ftump the democrats We fay
he Oliver tied him Timothy to
a flump, and left him there all
night.
Are thefe two gentlemen the
late counfcllors of our firft ma
gillrate ?
In the early period of the
French revolution, when Du
mourier had not (allied the glo
ties of Genlappc, and when
Jourdan humbicd the Briulh
and Auftrians near L harleroy,
a man of the name of Pickering,
who was fome tune poft-nufter,
and thereby had earlier than or
dinary information, was accul
tomed to run about our (fleets,
and from llore to (lore, bellow
ing forth exultations on the
gioiious lucceflcs of thejacobin
armies
Pray is this the fame Mr.
Pickering who behaved lb well
at Lexington, and who war
flumped by Oliver Wolcott,
and whom the prefident flump
ed again recently.
Mr. Timothy Pickering who
was iome time (Vcretary of ftate,
famous for talking about oaths
and public virtue and about
national charafter, and the law
of nations, and for praifing the
Britifh, and tor concealing the
number of our imprefted fellow
citizens, and for countenancing
a (peculation to St. Domu-go,
and for numerous other things.
Pray is ibis the fame colonel
Pi kenng whom the B itifh mi
nifter delighted to honor, and
with whom Uhifholm the Bii

relponded under the name of
“ Timothy Pickering, Efq fc
cretary of war in America."

Fromthe Republican Watch-Tower,
On reviewing the changes
which have within the laft fix
months taken place in the afpeft
of public uffaiis, it appears won
derful that the enemies of our
countiy had not in fome degree
foreleen that the day was ap
proaching in which they could
no longer infult us with impuni
ty, Providence feems to have
entirely given them up to their
own wicked hearts and forward
di (no ft‘.ions, and to have blind
cd them to the confequenccs un
til it was too late to evade them.
The* puniQiment has theiefoic
fallen with ten-fold vengeance,
becaufe it was as unexpected as
it was fevere.
Virulence and abaft, falfe
hood and rnifreprefentation, de
ception and perfidy, all united
in the laft breath of toryifrn,
will ftand as a monument of
difgracc over its afhes. One at
tempt ha* been m »de by one of
the foul fpirits of the call, to
raife thole drooping (pi 1 its and
fet thrrn into aClion In this
attempt the author has had the
face to allert, that there could
be no doubt of the re-cletlion
of Mr. Adams or Pinckney.
Republicans be not afraid, you
may ealily perceive that this is
the Lft gafp of expiring arifto
cracy—that it is as impotent as
it is inTulting—that he who
joins this party now, from inter
ell, is a fool ; and that he who
unites with them from principle,
has a heait as debated as his
principles arc bale. The time
fervers are weil aware of this,
and arc now preparing away
to flip out of their clutches and
enter into a more fate and lucra
tive employment. We will
permit them to aflifi u>, but ne
ver to (hare in offices which they
have already too long difgraced
And although we pity the weak
nels of men who put confidence
in their balencfs, we cannot but
tnjoy the juft punifhment thole
have received, who have encuu
raged treachery,- and lavished
the honors of this fUte upon the
meaneft and moll contemptible
of mankind.
