It is unnecessary to insert the charges exhibited by Col.

T. G.
Mr. DUNLAP.
MAJOR General Arnold has asserted in your paper
®f the nth instant, “ that he has served his copn
“ try faithfully for near four years, without once having
" his public condud impeached." The General's memo
ry seems to have failed him, and therefore I beg leave,
thro' your paper, to remind him of thirteen articles of im
peachment exhibited against him to Major General Gates
on the firfl of December, 1776, by Lieutenant Colonel
John Brown, as the fame has been publiihed in Cohnedi
cut in April, 1777 f. How far these charges can all of
them be supported it is unnecessary to fay; but it is certain
that they were publiflied to the world with lieutenant Co
lonel John Brown's name thereto; and he pledged him
felf to lupport them before a Court-Martial, where his
evidences could be heard, which Court-Martial he de
manded.
sft. For endeavoring to afperfe the character of Lieu
tenant Colonel John Brown in the most infamous manner.
2d. For unwarrantably degrading, and reducing the

superior officer, and fubjefting him to serve in an inferior
rank to that to which he had been appointed.
3d. For ungentleman-like conduct in his letter to Gen.
Wooster, charging the said Brown with a fallhood, and
in a private manner, which falfhood is justly chargeable
on himfelf.
In COUNCIL, Philadelphia, February 26, 1779.
Ordered, That the proceedings of this Board, with ref
pea to the appropriation of the public waggons of this
State to private uses by General Arnold,and John Mitch
ell, Deputy Quarter-Matter General, be published with
all convenient speed. And also their proceedings in the
case ofMatthew Clarkfon, Aid de Camp to General Ar
nold. Extract from the Minutes,
T. MATLA'C K, Secretary.
f The original from which these charges are taken is lodg
ed in the hands of the Printer hereof, for the infpeUion of
any person who may ebufe to fee it.
§ The day ma, come in which those wretched people may
be heard on this charge, and if it be well founded some con
sequences will neeeffari lj follow that will touch the General
in bis tender part.
* General Arnold's humanity would naturally induce
bim to forget, as soon as possible, such orders and tbeir horrid
consequences.
By publishing in your next paper the few observations
following, you will oblige your's, P HOCI ON.
TYRANTS in every age and country are brethren.
They have the fame corrupt passions, and generally
vindicate their anions by the fame sophisms. lam at pre
sent struck in a particular manner with the exact resem
blance between the conduct of the Tories, and the present
Rulers of our State. This resemblance has appeared in the
following particulars.
tft. In the beginning of the present controversy, the
Tories said the opposition to Great-Britain was just—but
that this was not the time for it. In like manner, the
friends of our Constitution have acknowledged that it
wants mending, but that this is not the time for it.
2d. The Tories objected formerly to the manner of our
©ppofing Great-Britain. They condemned non importa
tion and non exportation agreements—and spirited mea
sures of all kinds ; and recommended petitioning as the on
ly means of obtaining a redress of grievances. In like
manner the present Rulers of Pennsylvania have condemn
ed every measure that has been taken to bring about a
Convention, and fligmatized all meetings of citizens for
(hat purpose as factious and aristocratic juntos.
3d. The Tories said in the beginning of the controver
sy—" wait till you feel the slavery you dread. It is time

enough to refif twhen our ports are flint up, and our
charters are destroyed." In like manner, the friends of
the present Constitution fay,—" wait till you feel its ty
ranny— we can alter it as soon as we are enslaved by it."
4th. The Tories branded all the. true Whigs with the
names of factious, difeontented, or ambitious men. In
like manner the friends of the Constitution brand every
person in the opposition to it, with the opprobrious name
of Tory, or represent them as aspiring after a share in the
power of the State. -, >..
sth. The Tories in office under the Crown were the
principal engines that countera&ed the patriotic efforts
of the Whigs to obtain a redress of our grievances. In
like manner the men in office in our State, are the princi
pal agents in opposing and preventing a Convention.
