CINCINNATI.
The Pennsylvania Society of the Cin
cinnati the remnant of our revolutiona
ry veterans, to whom the political birth
day of their country is peculiarly dear,
having convened at the State-House, to j
transact the business of the Society— i
the following, pathetic Address, intrcfc
ductoiy of-he annexed resolution, w.slr*
made by Colonel Francis Johnson, to
the Socitty
Mr. President, and
Brethren of the Cincinnati ,
This present anniversary of our
Independence may, perhaps, be the
last which will collect so many of us
thus happily together——ln order,
then, to avail ourselves of thfe fleeting
moment, I cannot conceive a theme
more consonan* to justice, and congen
ial with our feelings, than to record on
our annals the honorable achievements
of our late compatriots in arms, who
had fought, and bled, and honourably
died, in their country’s cause. To en
umerate all tlie worthies of this descrip
tion, is by no means my present inten
tion——it would require a large, a lu
minous, and umivalled volume, to re
gister their honorable names. Permit
me, then, my dear Friends, barely to
mention to you the name of WAYNE,
General AN THONY WAYNE!—
The early undistinguished, firm and
undeviating Patiiot! —The brave perse
vering Sc undaunted Warrior! Whom
disaster disappointment, and distress in
the early stages of his military career,
never appalled nor dismayed—Whose
military fame though not perpetuated
by government, on monuments of brass
or marble, still remains recorded in the
hearts of his countrymen — General
WAYNE was, at the early dawn of our
revolution, awakened to a just sense of
his country’s wrongs, and gloriously
prompted to risk his life his all in remo
ving or avenging them. The honoura
ble but neglected remains of this once
highly reserved Member of our Soci
ety, now lie on the dreary, inhospitable
beach of Lake Erie, within the proud
limits of the great and flourishing State
of Pennsylvania—a State of which,
with honest pride we often boast, as the
place of our nativity—And yet, shame
ful to relate, this patriot and warrior,
hath not a “ hiejacit” inscribed to his
memory : although if I am correctly
informed, applications for this purpose
have, again and again, been made to the
governing powers——What! no mo
menta, no monument whatever, reared
by a protected country ? By a country
protected against a *• set of fierce Sava
ges, rushing lorthagainst us from their
dark lurking places ; brandishing their
murderous knives ; spuiring neither age
or sex ; neither hoary sire nor the hope
ful son j neither the tender virgin nor
the helpless babe’;—And yet this sa
vage and ruthless foe he vanquished,
after a signal and brilliant conflict
and soon after fell a victim to the fa
tigues he had endured in the service of
his country. Certainly, then, my
Brethren, of the Cincinnati, it behoves
us to“ drop atear over his scattered ash
es and if. perchance, our footstep should
touch that hapless shore that drank in his
blood— gently, Oh \ gently, let us tread
among his uncoffined bones !”
Mr President,
Having thus briefly stated to this So
ciety the situation of the manes of our
illustrious brother, I beg leave to move,
that a sufficient sum (if the rules of our
Society will admit of it) be immediate
ly appropriated, out of our own funds,
being the fruits of our own toil and
I blood, not depending upon any govern-
I mentforany aid in similar cases—in
order to erect a plain, unornamented
monument (as its own name thereon
will be its richest ornament) to the
memory of Major-General Anthony
I Wayne, Commander in chief, at the
I time of his decease, of the Armies of
I the United States, with a view of per-
H pe»uating/u« memory, and our affection
I individually, as well as a Society—for
I his patriotism, bravery, and distinguish-
I ed service to his country.
| The members, under the influence of
I the most respectful and affectionate re-
I membrance of their gallant associate
I in arms, passedjthe following resolution,
I lo do justice to his worth, by erecting a
I monument to his memory.
I Resolved, That (he sum of five hun-
I Dollars be appropriated to erect a mon-
I ument to the memory of General ylsTno-
I Nr IVatnr, formerly a member of this
I society—and that the same be applied
I under the direction of Col. Johnston
I Major Jackson and Mr. Binney.
ANECDOTES.
Stephen Kemble, of enormous ro
tundity of paunch, happening to pass
through Newport Market, the butchers
set up their usual cry of “ What d’ye
buy ? What d’ye buy ?” Stephen par
ried this for some time, by saying, he
did not want any thing. At last a
! butcher starts from his stall, and eye
■ ing Stephen’s figure from top to bot
|tom, which certainly would not lead
one to think he fed on air, exclaimed,
“ Well, sir, though you do not now
want any thing, only say you buy your
meat of me, and you will make my
fortune.”
It is a melancholy fact, that since
*flrigged muslins became so fashionable,
our Ladies are not so tjioi-less as they
were in former times.
“ What is the reasqn,”said an Irish
man to another,“ that you and your
wife are always quarrelling?” “ Be
cause, ’ replied Pat, “ we are both of one
mind —she wants to be master, and so do
I.”
HAVING assigned over my
property to Thomas Ogier, Esq. of
Charleston, Col. Leroy Hammond, of
New Richmond, and James Beggs, Esq.
a; present at Town Creek Mills, Edge
field District, as Trustees for the be
nefit of my creditors; they are respect
iully requested to send a statement of
their several demands to me or either
ol the said Trustees, or to Joseph
Hutchinson, Esq. of Augusta. All
such creditors as do not sign the same
before the 4th day of January next,
will be precluded from any benefit un
der it. 4 The said deed is left for signa
ture with the last mentioned gentleman,
. and copies also with the Trustees and
myself, together with a schedule of the
property so assigned.
