NORFOLK, February 27.
The following is extrafted
fiom a pamphlet now in the
rref, entitled “ I ighi end Truth*’
&c. This portion of the work
relates to the interview between
the prcfident and the gentleman
who prefented the petitions from
Vermont, in behalf of col. Lyon,
then fuffering under the fedition
ach
“ The petitions of the people
of the weftern diftnft of Ver
mont, were delivered to the pre
fident in three parcels. The
fiift accompanied by alerter from
colonel Lyon's Ton, which was
faid from thofe around the pre
fident to be * a decent letter."
It was a very excellent letter ;
fuch an cne as every man of ge
nerous fentiments would ap
prove ; fuch an one as every
go'd man would treat with great
deference,
1 liefe petitions and this letter
prepared prefident Adams to
expert more. Such were hand
ed bv an epifcopal clergyman,
on Monday forenoon, the 3ill
day of December, 1798. This
meffenger received many of them
on Lis way fronfl Vcrgennes, from
the hands of thofe to whom they
weie committed for the purpofe.
ft befe were accompanied with
the tnoft fmcere expreflions of
regard for their reprefentaiive,
and wifhes that they might be
followed by a favorable anfwer.
Previous to attending upon the
prefident, Mr. Pickering, the
leneiary of ftate, was waited
upon and info med of the errand
of the mederger, who requefted
Mr. Pickering to attend him to
the p ehdent. Mr. Pickering
afked if colonel Lyon had pe
titioned, laid that the prefident
had mfoimed him that petitions
h 'd already arrived, and anfwer
that it was not neceflary for
him to introduce the meflenger,
as le ptefident knew him as
We *‘ as he did. To this he was
«nfwcrcd, that it became us to
u d all righteoufnefs, or in
otiier words, that it was the mef
er'? e | s to attend to his er-
Ja nd in the accuftorned mode.

the petitions of the weftern dif
tri6l of Vermont in behalf of
colonel I yon. The prefident
received them and afked if co
lonel Lvon had periiioned. ft o
this he was anfwered that he had
not : that colonel I yon faid, he
had pled not guilty to the indift
ment—that he was condemned
for pa t of a letter wrote in his
own defence, previous to the
pafhng of the fedition law, and
for reading the copy of a Ic tter,
which others had printed, and
no notice been taken of them.
“ ft he prefident remarked,
that repentance ought to precede
n.ercy; and was anlwered that
forgtvenef was the darling attribute
of the great Supreme. The pre
fident obferved that he had
ever been unmoved at what co
lonel Lyon hud Lid or done,
with refpeft to himfelf, Ihe
meflenger rep'bd “ I wifti fir,
that all had followed, the mag
nanimous examnle of yomlelf
and general Wafbington, in tak
ing no notice of aflaults; we
(hould then have had lefs trou
ble concerning peftonal alterca
tions." At thisrema k, he eyed
the meflenger veiy irq ifinvely.
•• The prefident afked whe
ther colonel I yon was re-eb bb d,
and was told in the affirmative,
and that it w'as reported by a
majority of eight or nine hun
dred. ft he prefident enquiied
how many had petitioned, and
was informed that the meflenger
could not tell, as he had not
Teen the efiimate of the whole.
He then remarked, that it w r as
eafy to obtain petitions in any
cafes r f pet Tons who were con
demned : and was anfwered,
* 1 believe fir, there was no
undue management on this oc
cafion ”
“ The prefident Paid he w'ould
lay the bufinefs before the fro- \
per per/ons , and rake fuch mea
fares as were though' to be nc
ceffan—And then mrnmg to
the meftergtr, further added,
“ and as to youfelf your vter
ference on the part of colonel
Lyon will prevent your receivin
any favors from me." The me(-
fenger mildlv anlwered ‘* my
interference is the refult of grati
tude to colonel Lyon, for his
goodnefs to me and mv brethren
W'hile we were in diftrefs."
“ ft'heconference bring drawn
fo near a conrlufion, and a gen
tleman entering apparently on
bufinefs the meflenger Addrefleo
himfelf funher to tf.e prefident,
and faid —“ as you wdll take !urh
meafures, fir, in the bufinefs as
may be thought proper, and
tranfmit the needful anfvvers il
there fhould be any, all furthe:
attendance on my part, I con*
dude, would be unneccffary "
He anfwered in the affirmative
and the ended "
It may be ptoper to rematk
that the gentleman whe m M».
Adams treated fo cavalierly, is
the Ton-in-law of gen. Wooller,
