The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1815-06-28

Have lEty Eol violated our women e.
Hampton, and broke open collins, and kicked
about the sacred bones OF the dead al Iappd-
hammock
And have they not, now, in time OF peace,
when the passions Of war have had leisure to
subsiGe into forgiveness or oblivon-have
they not entered like butchers into the fold
OF our unarped and imprisoned eounuymen,
10 stab them IN the backs
YET HAVE THE ENoLisH AND FEDERAL
NEWSPAPERS THE IEToLERADLE ISSoLENcE
TO CHARGE Us WITH THE CRIME OF HATING
THE ENGLIsH We ought 10 love them,
forsoolh, because, two centuries ago, their
fathers persecutcd our fathers oct of their
country I'VE ought 10 love them because
they abuse and calumia,c US in their pulpis,
their sermons, newspapers and icvlews--bc-
cause they overwhelm US with eternal false
hoods; rob our churches; burn our towns /;
violate our women break open graves and,
in period Of profound peace, murder our
dcfenceless prisoners in cold blood, TO appease
their notifications for, defeats which they
have not the prowcss TO resent in any other
way.
For all these good Offices VIC ought 10 love
this magpanmous, thinking, canting and hu-
name nation. For these right neig hborly
Offices VIC ought to treat all Englishmen as
brothers, or rather as our masters--if they
smi,c Us, we ought to give them both checks
il they spite in our faces we ought 10 make
them low bow il they can pick our pockets,
we should open our stsong boxes TO them
if they calumnia,e US, We should return II
with praise if they tickle Us, we should nor
laugh if they prick Us we should nor bleed
if they tread on Us, VIC should, by no means,
turn; and if they injurc us, we should not
think OF revenge. Far from 1t; we ought 10
feast them as the Marquis of Tweedale, and
his band oficd captains were feasIed at New
York and Philadclphia, by certain good peo-
pie, who never ieastcd any body before, and
who never will again, unless, perhaps, the
gallant commander Of the assassins at Dart
moor should chance 10 honor them" as the
polite federal papers say, with visit.-We
ought 10 give :hem balls and tea parties; TO
parade our wives and daughters before them,
IN hopes some mighty iordling muy condesend
10 throw his hankerchief TO some favored
dame or damsel. The young ladies should
be taugh, tina, il is the highest proof OF gen
tity 10 administer 10 the vanity of English
officers, BY staring at them as they walk the
streets, or whenever they enter full convic-
,ion that no human being can be half SO brave,
generous, gallant and accomplished as Bit
ish officer and they should be instructed TO
admire little red coat without any skirts,
above all earthly things--except an English
Lord with bushy head they should also be
carefully instructed to despise our clod-hop-
ping officers, with their miserable blue coats,
Il hos Rrit off,
GERS, whether bullics, bottle bruisers, boxers,
boas,crs, OF blackguards, ought always to be
preferred 10 our own gallant fellows, who
have spread blaze Of glory over this wide
continent. IF, for instance a knot of these
officers, no way distinguished either for char.
acter or exploits, should be staying at WASH
ington Hall in New-York, or at Renshaw's
Hotel in Philadelphia, a, the same time with
ono or two Of our most gallant p, p,otectors--ssy
General Bissel and Col. Brooke, for instance,
men, whose names are associated with almost
every ilustrious achievement on our frontiers.
IL this should happen to be the case, the Brit
ish officers with their little red coats, without
any skirts, ought to be called upon by all the
sen,eel people, and invited to great dinner
parties, and General b. and Colonel b. being
only american officers, shall be totally neglect
cd This would please our Federal Editors,
and properly demonstrate our gratitude for
robbing oul churches burning our towns !;
scslping our citizens; violating o0r woraen |;
abusing the living; disturbing he dead and
massacreisg our deienceless prisoners at
Dartmoor. AN AMERICAN.
