THE Chronicles ofhho8e days
NOW in the days Of popular dclusiQa
il came TO pass on the third month, " liz
seventh year, Of the reign Of democracy,
that JAMES was declared chief ruler, " TIE
people Ill Massachusetts. Now when lie
tidings came from the south there Assem-
bled together a great multitude of tbs
Coomites, the Citchehtes, the Go4sitcs, the
Pageitcs, and mixed congregation Of That
SORT, At the house Of JoTHAMs, near he
great river 1ndTescoggin, on the highway,
as one goeth to TopyLem. Among whom,
was LenrzeI the Cenini:.n, TctAdn tie
scribe, and .1ynathan the cup bearer, E5e.e-
ger the physician, Samuel tie sword PLAYER,
and EoGc;1 the SiIrer-smith.
They sand one ~ another come let Us re-
joi~e together, for glad tidings hpthreacAcd
us fofd far, whereof we are glad We
have gained victory, CATER " long iilne,)
over those our oPPosers, and shah Be likely
now to accomplish our designs and To pun
down The fabric which has been 30 long :,
rected by WAsHTNCToH and his copatrivys'
We trust the time IS fast approaching wien
We shall have E" liberty an4 eq4nlL,," and
that every man may 90 as secmeth him
good in his own eyes. This wall form a
grand epoch III the Chronicles OF these
days, as did that Of the revolution ul France.
Now - JAMES is declared ruler Qf the
people by shouting forth his praises, and
showing that We viii Be his faithful ser
wants peradyenturc we shall find gfacc IN
his sight, ard we shall be likely to share
largely in thc loavcs Of Office which We
could not obtain in the days OF the reign &C
CALEB, for we all know that lie was IN
honest and upright man, and would not BE
biased BY bribes OF any kind OF straca,5em
~ lean one way or the ether, and would not
permit, (knowingly,) man to hold III oG.ce
under him who was not a man Ut integrity,
| OF sound principles and good moral charaS-
ter. Therefore it was impossible for US 10
obtain what we have been long seeking fol-.
And they all gave 18th an exceeding
great shout and claPt their hands and lump
cd up and rejoiced with very great ioy.
and The house was filled with noise and
there was strange voices heard, such as was
not lawful for man to utter
They burnt powder and drank wine and
became very merry one with another And
there came wind from the way Of tile ior-
est, and the house wherein they -ycrc se.t1
ing seemed to tremhle ard shake from the
very foundations thereof And they reclcd
to and fro and jostlcd one against anbthc-.
and overthrow the bowles and tie faguns of
wine and up set the tables and were quite
overcome, they fell down, they rolled md
wallowed and defled their garments, AID
I many became as dead men
Some one at that time happened to be
more prudent than the rest, said men and
brethren We do not act wisely Tor yc know
that many Of Us IS given 70 strong drink
and ye gave people great occasion to speak
evil of this our meeting together, Il IS best
to keep up, az least some appearance Of or
| der meantime they heard not 4 word, but
as many Of them as had the power ofspeech
continued to vociterate the praises Of James
! until sorlnas paid them a visit.
