Sept. 6, 1784.
wife to give a small sketch of Mr. McCormick's
patriotic chara&er, which comes immediately un
der our own knowlege.
We thought ourselves injured, in fevcral refpe&s,
by said Rees, whilst the Britilh had possession of
this state, which was our reason for treating hint
as we did. Mr. I. M. K. in his scrawl, expressed
himfelf well pleased with such dealings: what his
internal feelings were we shall leave the reader to
judge. When the Britifn army firft came to the
Vicinity of the High-Hills, Mr. McCormick drew
u p a petition, addfeffed to the Commanding Officer,
and got as many of the inhabitants as he could to
sign it; letting forth that he never was an enemy to
the Bfitifh government; that he never took up
arms againftthem, when by any means he could
avoid it; that he had contrived long journies to
Philadelphia and other places, that he might shun
taking up arms, against them. .This address,
seconded by his insinuating condu&, had its desired
cffe&; for in a fhoit time after, he was in so much
favour.with the British, that he had more influence
than any other in the neighbourhood. Mr.
McCormick is the only man we know of, • who was
particularly active , in forming plans to betray us, in.
those times, into the hands of the enemy,—and
that under a malk of friehdihip. At a time when
forne, if not all of us, fliould have been put to
death, the said M-Cormick went to the said Rees,
against whom, in his scrawl, hh now appears so
implacable, and others, folicitihg them to raise
their parties, that he might be instrumental in
facilitating our capture; nay, he proffered to pilot
them to our ramp, and even do assist; mentioning;
as an inducement, why Rees and the others should
do as he tequefted, that we had in our pofieffion
some very valuable horses, which, by taking of us,
would fall into their hands: of thcfe horses, at
that time, we do not doubt but he was particularly
fond. Mr. M'Cormick also rendered the British
many other signal services; such as carrying
expresses, fuinifhing them with provisions, &c. &c.
Mr. McCormick hath mentioned, in his scrawl,
that such fort of dealing pleased him much; and
that some more of the fame brood had tasted the
fame fruit, he expected, by that time. We know
of no other being promised a full repast on the
fruit that appears so delicious to. Mr. McCormick,
but himfelf.; and from his conduct towards us, and
many others, we leave the candid reader to judge,
whether we have not had fufficient cause to look
upon him as one of the worst of men existing in
this part of the country. We have prescribed, as
a reward for his treachery and double dealing, a
good whipping. Not all his insinuating and am
biguous condu&, (which is very peculiar to the
man) will be his security against the Gardeners he
mentioned, as they have a.very great propensity to
give him a thorough unction of that oil, which he
mentions, in his scrawl, to be so salubrious. We
have reason to believe that Mr. M'Cormick endea
voured to induce some people, not acquainted with
his character, to believe him to be a popular man;
and that he could make use of a number of young
men in this place, as tools to fulfil his purposes;
but so far from that, he is in reality, what we have
pointed him out to be, and much, more, was it
necessary. We do hereby inform the public in
general, that we do not me<n to extend our relent-,
merit any farther, upon any more of those people
whom the General AHembly have admitted to the
privilege of citizenship, as we are convinced it is
out indifpenfible duty to support the. laws of our
country, and the dignity of its legislature,.which
we are determined, individually, and colleaivelv>
to do; and we hope, that no gentleman of that
refpe&able body, or others, will pay the smallest
attention to what Mr, I. M. K. has published
refpp&ing us,, inasmuch as we are convinced,, his
only motive for making use of our names, in the
manner he did, was only to ingratiate himfelf into
our favour, he being confcious.of his endeavour
ing to injure us so often, and in so many refpe&s 9
and by that means exculpate himfelf from the many
charges we have against him.
We have the honor to be,
Madam,•
