About three weeks ago, the Indians killed 2 men and took a boy about 2 miles above Fort-Wathington, in a Canoe on the Ohio—The week before last, a party of Indians some on foot and others on horseback, took and drove off upwards of 20 beevies from Fort-Jefferson. Last Saturday a party killed one and wounded two men on Brashiers's creek—A few days ago the Spies discovered a party at the big lick on Eagle creek, making towards the frontier settlements on Elk-Horn.
# Miss Spencer
To the Printer of the Lexington Gazette.
Mr. PRINTER, WHEN a person, who has been raised by his country, to the two important stations, of Conservator of the peace, and to sit upon the Bench, to decide upon both Law and Fact: when such a character, swerves from the rectitude, which his dignities prescribe for the rules of his conduct: He is not only guilty; but like Cain should be indelibly stamped, and looked upon by every man of sense and honour, as infamously contemptible.
Mr. Printer, for a few minutes, let us examine, how officers, either Judicial or Executive of a state, should, and ought to be constituted—they are (if the best authority that yet has been vouchsafed to mankind, can be depended upon) responsible for their conduct to some power which vested them with their authority; or in other words answerable for the discharge of their duty, to those who created them; what they, then are—in a free Country, the legality of their conduct, or misconduct in office, become the Community's censorial duty, and by the public, should be carefully watched—The wisdom of the most refined Legislation, cannot be competent, to embrace objects, which are in the womb of futurity; and may hereafter possibly arise, to require the correcting hand of justice; but if the existing legislative body has any political wisdom in view, it should take particular care to have the laws administered to all without distinction.
Where villainy shews itself in any office, the question should not be, how high the perpetration is placed in point of rank (provided in their code of laws any punishment has been annexed to the crime, a priori, which can reach the person who has been guilty) their being invulnerable, by a commission of the peace (as the presumptuously suppose) should not screen them from public justice, more than the lowest of their fellow ruffians.
If no law has been made, to an-
swer so desirable an indiscrimination, the Legislature should then give its interference (as its duty is) and secure weak and indigent honesty; from the rapacity and cruelty of those, invested with power which they (scandalously) abuse.
Under, the specious pretext of doing justice, a certain Magistrate of Bourbon county, did (not by virtue of his commission of the peace) through insolence of office, without even a fact either proved or alleged, inflicted a disgraceful punishment upon a person, whose reputation for sobriety and honesty, stand as fair as any in the county;—His Honour's , seeming motive, was, only to shew his authority; but at the same time, it tended to convince the world, how wantonly, a man through the plenitude of his (supposed) importance, can disgrace, and throw a stigma, upon his commission, his office, and that power, which his country gave him.—Once Oh! Americans, tyranny was your abhorrence, and now will you (with impunity) countenance a petty despot, that tramples and spurns upon every degree of justice and laws of his country.
Mr. Printer; surely the greatest insult, to a people of susceptibility, and enjoying liberty, must be that, inflicted by a person who stands as a candidate for the suffrages of his fellow citizens, to represent them in a legislative capacity, when it can be proved, that the same character has infringed the laws of his country, when before acting as their Representative; and has very recently damned the supreme executive officer of this state, called him a rascal for distributing offices (as he alleged) contrary to his Excellency's absolute promise—headed a mob, countenanced and incited them to an assault and burglary against the unhappy person who lay (unfortunately) under his worship's displeasure, such a person, now is determined to offer himself as a candidate for your suffrages, to represent you my fellow citizens, as your Representative in the legislature—the insult to your understanding should not only receive your contempt and execration, but should my countrymen consign him to that disgrace and obscurity which his infamous conduct so meritedly meant to link him into.
I am,
Mr. Printer,
Yours,
TRUTH.
Paris, July 20, 1792.
Mr. Printer,
The piece I sent you some time ago, has not yet appeared in the Public papers agreeable to my expectation; if it has been postponed for want of room I freely excuse you, but if (as I suspect) it is owing to another cause, I think it an infringement of the 7th. Section of the 12th article of the Kentucky Constitution (or bill of rights) and therefore demand its appearance immediately.
ANONYMOUS
The latter clause of the 7th Section of the 12th, Article of the Kentucky Constitution (or Bill of rights) says, "The free communication of thoughts and opinions is one of the invaluable rights of man, and every citizen may freely speak write and print on any subject, being responsible for the abuse of that power." Now as Mr. Anonymous has previously demanded a publication of his performance, I take this method of informing him, and the public in general, that I do not pretend to judge what is an abuse of that power, for which the Constitution demands responsibility, and consequently will not publish any statement respecting the mal-administration of the officers in
any department of Government, unless I am in possession of the Author's real name, and at liberty to give it up if legally called on. The above will not only satisfy Anonymous, but probably prevent other demands of a similar nature.
THE PRINTER.
An Extract from an Act of Congress entitled "An Act to provide for the settlement of the Claims of Widows and Orphans barred by the limitations heretofore established and to regulate the claims to invalids."
BE it further enacted, That any commissioned officer not having received the commutation of half pay, and any non commissioned officer, soldier or seaman, disabled in the actual service of the United States during the late war, by wounds or other known cause, who did not desert from the said service, shall be entitled to be placed on the pension list of the United States, during life or the continuance of such disability, and shall also be allowed such farther sum for the arrears of pension from the time of such disability, not exceeding the rate of the annual allowance, in consequence of his disability, as the Circuit Court of the District in which they respectively reside, may think just. PROVIDED, That in every such case, the rules and regulations following shall be complied with; that is to say:
First. Every applicant shall attend the Court in person, except where it shall be certified by two magistrates, that he is unable to do so, and shall produce to the Circuit court the following proofs, to wit,—a Certificate from the commanding officer of the ship, regiment, corps or company, in which he served, setting forth his disability, and that he was thus disabled while in the service of the United States; or the affidavits of two credible witnesses to the same effect. The affidavits of three reputable freeholders of the city, town or country, in which he resides, ascertaining of their own knowledge, the mode of life, employment, labour or means of support of such applicant for the last twelve months.—Secondly. The Circuit court, upon receipt of the proofs aforesaid, shall forthwith proceeded to examine into the nature of the wound, or other cause of disability of such applicant, and having ascertained the degree thereof, shall certify the same and transmit the result of their enquiry, in case, in their opinion the applicant should be put on the pension list, to the Secretary at War, together with their opinion in writing, what proportion of the monthly pay of such applicant will be equivalent to the degree of disability ascertained in manner aforesaid.
SECT. 3. And be it further enacted , That the Clerk of the district Court, in each district, shall publish this act in such manner as the Judge of the district Court shall think effectual to give general information thereof to the people of the district, and shall give like information of the times and places of holding the Circuit Courts in such district. And in districts wherein a Circuit Court is not directed by law to be holden, the Judge of the district Court shall be, and he is hereby authorised to exercise all the powers given by this act to the respective Circuit courts. And it shall be the duty of the Judges of the Circuit Courts respectively, during the term of two years from the passing of this act, to remain at the places where the said Courts shall be holden five days at the least from the time of opening the sessions thereof, that persons disabled as aforesaid, may have full opportunity to make their application for the relief proposed by this act.

Whereas I have purchased a tract of land from Jacob Stans of Madison county, and he has my bond in his hand for fifty pounds in cash, which said bond was dated the 9th of April 1792, and becomes due the 9th of April 1795 ensuing, and finding he cannot make me a title according to contract; I do forewarn all persons from trading or taking an assignment on said bond, as I am determined not to pay it until he makes me an indisputable title for said land, unless I am compelled by law.
