PHILAD. NOV, 8.
On Tuesday last, mob paraded the
streets Of Baltimore, with four efigies,
halted before the house of l.. Lartin,
but did itno damage, and finally march
ed on the common, where they fired
the same.
Tn consequence Of these proceedings,
Mr.. Martin, published the following
F.! Note, in the Federal Gazette, of the
| 4th Nov.
MIR. HEWEs,
Through the channel ofyOur paper,
permit me to express To the mayor,
and to the other civil authorities, as al
50 TO the military, particularly Capt.
/ VIM Barney, and the First Baltimore
Hussars, and Capt. Samuel Hollings-
worth, and the First Baltimore Troop
of Horse, my appreciation, for their ex-
ertions hast evening, to preserve the
persons and property of myself and
others, from lawless violence. But to
those worthy friends of mine, who fill
ed my drawing-room, armed with ev-
cry necessary weapon, to repel such
violence. No language can SUI
hciently express my gra.itudc, and
while | live, they may command my
every service. The endearing proof
they have given me Of their friendship
and zeal IS as 10 myself infinitely more
than a compensation for any indgnity
meant 70 b shewn to me by the deceiy |
ed, dcluded individuals who planned
and executed the outrage: But to those
Of my fellOw-citizens who are really |
anxious for the prosperity Of the city, !
/ would make request, that they viii 4
seriously consider Of the consequences
Of such conduct and how deeply /.
such conduct wounds its best interest. (
What person would wish to transfer !
his person, or his capital to a place
where life, liberty and property are u !
be held at the viii Of an infuriatedl
Mob The cities Of Philadelphia and |
New York, VINO view with jealousy |
your rival greatness, will rejoice at vourl
folly and to the citizens of Annapo- |
lis, 10 act could have been more crate !
ful-How often have they said,thatif the !
seat Of government should be removed |,
TO Baltimore, the legislature and the !
courts Of justice would be oyerawed !
and insuiled by the Mob Of the CITY !
10 the misguided promptcrs Of the !
late proceedings, | would give one adj !
monition. If they are III reality what
they profess to be, the friends Of rcpub- T,
lican institutions, they arc taking the /
most efcctual method to bring such in |
situations into contempt and detestation. !
have only to add, that as no actual
injury was done to persons Or property, !
Irejoice that not drop Of blood has been
Shed. Itwould have rendered me un-
happy indeed, had single individual
lost his life, while he confined himself to
the amusement of attending my efigy
10 the funeral pile.
