To the Editort of the National Intelligencer -•
SIRS,
Some person, either from mistake or from
an over zeal tor the cause 1 have espoused, ha
ving made some mistatements which were inter
ted in the Whig of Baltimore as a preface, from
which the Albany Register had Incorporated a
few words supposed to be part of the observati
ons I made on the passage of Mr. Giles's resolu
tion, I am obliged to request you to publish those
remarks as they were taken down by your repor
ter, together with some reflections which are for
ced from me by the illiberal comments that have
been made upon assertions which have been false
ly ascribed to me. I am a plain nan, sir, and not
very well versed ill this kind of controversy ? bus
as I have stated nothing bitt what I (know, and
never ventured to reason but from my own expe
rience, or what J believed to be facts, 1 have some
confidence in my argument. As for my political
principles I got them in the time that tried men’s
•oula. It is possible that they may be out of fash
ion now, but I am sure they are always right, Sc
I cannot, if I would, change then.
You know that I never made the boasting as
sertion which is charged to me, of having shed
my blood in the revolutionary w?r. It is true,
and the reflection affords me a sincere pleasure,
that I never shunned any, but on the contrary
have courted several situations in which I was
exposed to make this sacrifice; but as 1 never
underwent the suffering of a wound, it is not
just that I should reap any of the credit which
such a circumstance would give. 1 have, it is
true, been made prisoner, not in the ludicrous
manner that has been published, but in one which
was attended with circumstances that deserve to
be mentioned; because this remembrance strong
iiuptuuicu on ray mma, may account tor, ana
* reuse a warmth on ctrtain subjects which aeems
to have given oft'cnce. When I was very young,
my father removed from Ulster county, where I
wa9 born, to the Mohawk river, where he pur
chased a farm nearly adjoining the estate of Sir
'William Johnson- On this estate were settled
•everal hundred tenant* tfarmly attached to their
landlord and the royal cause, which on the brea
king out of the war, they espoused. My father
took part with his country, and was a member of
the committee of the district. Hence arose a
considerable degree of personal animosity direc
towards my family. The influence of Sir
William Johnson over the savages was unboun
ded. On his death it was transferred to his son,
and this influence was exerted in persuading them
to take up the hatchet against the unprotected
inhabitants of the frontiers. Placed, as I have
said, in the frontier adjoining the estate of John
son, where there were several hundred tenants
warmly attached to the cause of Britain, and ai
ded by her savage allies, our situation was diffi
cult, and though it may excite the stupid jests of
unprincipled printers now, it the* afforded no
matter of mirth. From the time 1 was first en
rolled in the militit in the year 1778, until the
«nd of the war, we were frequently alarmed with
incursions from the enemy, and detachments of
militia were sent to oppose them. On those oc
casions I did my duty, and .never have pretended
that 1 did more. If every man could say the same,
we should pave more action and fewer words.'—
In the year seventeen hundred and eighty, a for
midable excursion v/as made by Sir John John
son, with his regiment and a large body of Indi
ans, marching through the wilderness, aided by
some wretches from whose minds British gold
and British influence had banished all honor and
love of country as well as humanity. In the dead
of night thay surprised the inhabitants of the
frontier where I lived. Fortunately for my fami
ly theqisrty was not accompanied by any Indians.
Our lives therefore were spared, but the men
■were bound with cords. My father, to mortify
li>na the more, was amidst the scoffs of our bru
tal enemies, tied to a negro slave, and in this man
ner we were forced to march with them and be
witness to their farther barbarities ; but we did
not go before we saw every thing in flames, that
the rapacity of the soldiers had spared—-and I
wish I had words here to express the anguish
tny heart felt at that moment, when my mother &
•isters were left without a shelter, without a pro
tection, exposed to the insolence of the soldiery
and savage barbarity of the Indiana who were
known to be in the neighborhood. Fortunately
they escaped. We lived, by the blessing of God
to meet again, but the remembrance of those mo
ments can never be erased from my mind—and if
I had the genius of those who amuse themselves
in turning scenes like these into ridicule, I should
excite other sentiments than those of mirth. I
will relate another circumstance which occurred
at this period, and let them laugh at it if they
can. Driven along, like cattle, we were, as I said,
forced to Accompany the march of the enemy.—
It was msrked by blood, plunder and conflagra
tion. As we approached the house of Mr. Fon
da, a most respectable man, we heard tire dread
ful yell of the savages and presently saw a large
party of them running towards us, bringing the
bloody scalp of our venerable neighbor. In like
manner, I saw the scalps of col Fisher* and his
two brothers, who fell bravely defending them
selves. In a similar manner they had massacred
A Mrs. Hannah Putman and others, whose scalps
were carried to market, and sold to British gold.
The militia were soon collecting and coming to
wards them in their raRr. At a place where they
bad halted on Johnson'i old firm, to prepare for
their retreat, and take farewell of many of their
wives and relatives, I made my escape. My fa
ther was released and my brothers carried to Ca
nada, from whence, they made their escape. Af
ter this time to the end of the war, the greater
part or me ume i served in the militia, or in en
listments of the levies of our stale on the Iron
tier, but always in the ranks, and never striving
to give myself any more credit than I deserved
for doing my duty. i
It Was under circumstances like these l acqui
red my political principles, and it was the strong
similarity betwec.i the arguments I heard in the
beginning of the revolution by the partizans of
Great-Britain and those used on the floor of eon
grees, that forced me, in spite of myself, to make
known my opinion. I confess 1 felt indignant to
hear the insults offered to our government by an
tnglrsh minister, justified by the representatives
of the American people ; and my blood was
warm when I heard the resources of our country
undervalued, and the power of Great-Britain
magnified, in order to persuade us to submission
to her unjust decrees. I thought and still think
the question was the old one of 76—a question of
submission or independence— a question of whig
and lory—and perhaps I might have fell some lit
tie irritation from the known principles of the fa
mily of my colleague, to whom I replied. As
to Mr. Gurdcnier himself, he has been perfectly
consistent, he has generally justified the conduct
«l Great-Britain ft reviled that of bis own country.
No doubt ne thinks he is right, but I am sure
he is wrong, or e*? e the whigs were wrong in re
volting from I.nglaiul, and I believe the people
-w ill think so too : But I never thought it right to
abuse or calumniate film or any person, cither in
Congress or out of it : sou when a number of
papers were sent to me Containing my speech, in
troduced with some abuse of Mr. Gardener, 1
committed ihetn to the flames jf did the same
"with a number of hmnl-b (Is which were sent to
me for distribution, in the year 1801?, abusing
Judge Herkimer, who was iny opponent for
member of Congress, and reflecting on the elm
isctei of his uncle general Herkimer, wlm rccci
veil bis death Wound in the memorable battle of
Or if aana, where he commanded the Montgome
ry nwhiia, and having, with inferior forces, du
Sealed the enemy, remained master of the field.
. I men of -til parties would in the tsinc way dij
* He after war <U survived.
countenance all personal abuse of their adversa
ries, tlie country would be at peace and it* gov
ernment respected.
As to the present question of party, I think
that if the federalists, as they are called, had not
undertaken to justify the British minister, and
make the shew of division in our country, that e»
very thing would have been arranged to our satis
faction. 1 hope it may be so yet s but whatever
happens, it would never have done us any harm,
especially when the English themselves allow
Mr. Jackson offered the insult, which the fede
ralists say they cannot discover. As to the French
1 think their conduct has been as unjustifiable as
that of the British. 1 have constantly voted for
the same measures as to both, and will be ready
to make an immediate arrangement with the first
that will do os justice. These are my sentiments,
which l'have never attempted to disguise, let
those who are opposed to .ne lay their hand? on
their breasts and say so if they can.
THOMAS SAMMONS.
Extract from an American at Paris, Jan. 24,
< 1810.
The. newspapers sent by your friend, as well
as several others, have never cotne to band, and
some of them, for' what 1 know, may have been
taken hold of by the police, and sent to make
cartridges to Spain and Austria ; perhaps, as af
fairs api>ear to be about to close in the former as
they have closed in the latter, yre may have bet
ter luck another time. . The news from the U.
States, brought by the John Adaqts, was down
to 15lh December, and so far consoling to every
American heart, as it gave signs of life and feel
ing, of which all the friends of our country here
had begun to despair. Before this shall have
reached you, you will have heard of the renewed
operation of a rigorous system for excluding Bri
tish commerce, and all flags employed directly
or indirectly in it, which has extended itself to
Denmark, and of the numerous seizures there.—
That country, like every other but this, appears
at this moment to be controlled, and in a great
measure directed by commercial influence ; yet
from what I hear within a day or two, there is
I reason to believe that the real property of Anrre
nca win escape inru tne activity ot our minister
here ; and very possibly the English property
under our flag, or under the illegal color of our
flag, will also escape,- for the mercantile influ
ence of London lias contrived to place at Copen
hagen, an Englishman, or what is much more
strange, one of your Phinny Bonds, as the osten
sible agent of America ; but how can we wonder
at thia, after what we have seen in Boston and
in other of our seaports ; what is more, when
we see the mercantile influence even of Den
mark with the ruins of Copenhagen staring them
in the face, after the seizure of their fleet, the
conflagration of their capital, acting without re
serve, so sovereign is the lust of money, to renew
their mercantile connection with England? Hoi
land, which has been the workshop of mercan
tile speculation and smuggling, if I am not much
misinformed, will lose her denomination of a dis
tinct nation, through this cupidity; and seeing
that the Danes have not been behind their neigh
bors the Dutch, and that in consequence the du'
chy of Holstein az well as Hamburg is already
occupied- by French troops, jlovt need net be sur
prized, if Denmark incurs the same fate. There
is great difficulty in obtaining, and much delica
cy in speaking of political affairs here ; as a pri
vate obscure individual, 1 hear, and see, and say
nothing on such subjects ; but what I cannot a
void hearing, 1 cannot forget. The aystera'of ex
clusion of British and colonial productions, 1
make no doubt will be enforced with a rigor yet
unknown, & the power to effect it has been thro’
the want of common discernment in the British
gover nment becoming greater, and the motives
to enforce it strengthened every day, by the vari
ety and extent of the means employed to counter
act it; the matter is indeed now reduced to a
question of power, and the man who rules here,
hoWever he may wave his pride when it
•nits his police/, as in the late treaty ofVienna, will1
when his power on his own ground is brought
into dispute, consider it a point of pride which
he cannot abandon, and which assuredly lie will
enforce. Expedients caiinct resist a power so
direct; no trade, however lucrative, under a
looae system, can afford a profit against the in
cessant and unrelaxing rule of confiscation.—
Our flag will be used where it should not, and
it will be assumed by those who have trampled
on it, and I don’t know how Great Britain can i
more effectually make war upon our conimerci-'
al enterprise or our character, than by usurping
our fl»g. and thereby confounding our fair trade
in the indiscriminate confiscation with her own.
I frankly declare, chat 1 believe our flag will not
any longer protect our fair trade, in any place
under the control of France; and although this
may appear to be contrary to those ideas which
the release ofour citizens in )a<t fall, and of some
more recent exemptions of real American pro
perty thro’ Gen. Armstrong’s influence ; yet cir
cumstances have very much altered ; and mat
ters which it would not be discreet to put to the
risk of paper, but of which we shall perhaps
talk after my return home from Italy, may ac
count, in some degree for it. Our fair trade in
Spain und Naples, suffers through the same cau
ses, and was considered in jeopardy a week ago ;
I have had few opportunities to hear any thing
m6re latterly than that, tho’ there was still dan
ger in those countries, still it was not hope
less.
We have Americans in Paris engaged in an il
licit trade, with all parts of the European coast;
vessels are bought up, names ehanged, papers
forged, and a contraband trade carried on in such
a manner as it is impossible to escape the know
ledge of the police of this government ; how can
it be otherwise when I, who never enquire, can
know and hear of sucli things as matter of com
it*on discourse among the parties themselves? —
There is indeed a most unprincipled gang of
them here, such as I should disown my country
if all my countrymen were such as they are, and
yet it is by such as these we are judged of—
.v a,c in uunrspunacnce wilii wn
of similar stamp in the United Slates and in £n
gland ; 1 have seen oUr minister but once for three
months,blithe is much move reserved than 1 had
supposed. He appears, 1 think, too indifferent
to these people, and that is the opinion of some
others whom 1 have heard touch this subject.—
Wonders will never cease, .young Hare or Hare
Powell, it seems, is the secretary of legation of
the United States for London.. The John A
dams is to carry the next dispatches hcrne, per
haps by that ship you may oe able to collect
more accurate and definite information, as to the
probability of iiur having any or no intercourse
with the European continent. I suppose the recom
mendation of the eastern folks to take protection
under British cannon, will hardly be sufficient
to force a trade : which we might hsve gratis,
if we knew our true policy- Aurora.

“ Since my last, various and contradictory

The subject, 1 have go#id reason to believe, had
been ente;cd u*’on at Paris; bill from the late

FOU SALE, a valuable FARM, lying in* the
county of Campbell, about three miles from
the residence of the subscriber, and six miles
from Lynchburg, containing 406 acres, about 120
or 130 of which are cleared. The quality of the
Land, is well adapted either to grain or t?hacco,
and the situation derives great advantages from
*ts contiguity to the very flourishing town of
Lynchburg, where there is a ready cash market
for not only the produce of the cleared land, but
for the wood which may be taken from that which
is uncleared, each acre producing from 60 to 80
waggon loads, which at present brings 10/. M.
per load, delivered in town, and will no doubt,
hereafter bring more in proportion to the increase
of inhabitants in the town, and the decrease «f
wood in the neighboring country.
The cleared land contains ^bout 20 acres of
meadow well set with Timothy, and about a like
quantity of upland has this spring been laid down
in red clover. The improvements are good con
sisting of a two story wooden house 36 feet long
and 20 wide, nearly new ; a kitchen, smoke house,
barn, stable, garden, orchards, &c. It lies on
both sides the great road leading from Lynch
burg to Ward’s ferry, and will suit either for a
tavern or private residt ice.
Possession will be given the ensuing fall by
Mr. Benjamin Butterwortb, who at present re
sides on the premises, and who will shew the
