to which claim the attention of my fellow citi-

Having unfortunately been fufferer in the extra
ordinary cenes exhibited in this territory, the
publication Of my character, forces to detail
ferries OF events too public to be doubted but 70
new in the hiftory of our country that they will not
obtain eaiy belief at dilance, and can fcarceY be
REALIZED by thofs who daily behold them.
A diaatoriaI power, alIumed by the commander
of an American army-the military arreh of citizens
charged with civil oenoe-the violation of the ianc-

and then dragging the accufed from its bar. An

aerted, but incredible, cooperation OF the iupreme
executive Of the country i'll theie Proceedings-are
circumstances, that mutt command attention, and
cite the corresponding lentmens Of grief, indignation
and contempt.
My primary objea, however, is my own excu-
patton from charge folennly made agant me in the
