The Independent Republican.
A TRUE STORY.


Mr.. K. was nan Of properly, aud thor
ough going federalisl, who believed that we
ought 10 60 all that the Boston JuDto recon-.
mended; because they were the true nobi-
~, and knew how to keep the common folks
in subordination deeming it advisable to
have his hoase repaired and fitted up in the
newest style, he employed Mr.. S. a genuine
Republican and man whose conduct and
whose language, is worthy of all imitation.
II was oxiug-day. M. S. was going to
the S,ate- House TO vote e.. no unfo, mly had
dore) his opinion. Mr.. R. aecos,ed him a,
the door IN this manner. Mr.. S. hope you
VIII give US vote This day day, and support
the federal prox--you must remember that
have always employed you, and we shall here.
after recoHeet our Priends." 81 shall vote,
sir, (Mr. S. ,eplied) for the Republican can.
didates-I fought against the enc pies Of my
country, during the Revolutionary War and
have always voted against the tory and federal
prox eve since, and always intend 10 do 30,
let toe consequence be as it will"
The federal gentleman was copfoundcd at
this expression of honest sentiment, he was
hum Died TO behold man, poor, ye, incor.
rupibie and he felt at the momcn, how su.
perior to his own wore tho happy feelings of
q man, who mad always done his duty: Need
We say that he respected him the more for
his manly Independence. He knew him TO
be true to his country--and he believed him
to be faithful to his employers.
Feilow. Cifizens---lot this be your language
to all those who would tamper with your in.
egrIy. They may tell you that they will
give 90 employment TO any person who votes
against them. Believe them not--,hey will
not employ you the less--they will respect
you more If you vote your sentiments and
support just causc--they dare not take this
ground--they koow too we'll the oonsequcn-
ces. The Republican party will soon be Ell.
sbied TO give ten times the employme'.. to
the Mechanics and laboring citizens Of New.
port, which the federalis,s can now give, Or
which they ever have given. You may res,
assured, that not one individual, who is dc.
peoien, on hi, industry for subsis,epce, will
ever have cause to repent, that, regardless. Of
threats, he voted for M. KNIGHT and the
other true and faithful friends to their coun.
try's honor and independence, VINO COMPOSE
the REPUBLICAN PROX.

From the Federal Rehabaean,

A Norfolk paper of The is,h instant, states,
that cornbst took place at St. Croix, between
some American sailors belonging to the ship
Gleanee OF New Yo-k, and par, of the crew
OF Danish governmen, vessel, in which the
former is represented as coming off vicsori.
Gus, having handled the Dsues very roughly.
The day following the rcncontrc, boat put
off from Danish VESSEL with number Of
sailors, but no officer, and rowcd towards the
Glcsnsr.---Wheo sufficiently near, they rest-
~ on thcir oars, and commenced abusing
tho Amcricsn sailors who, IN re,ure, essail-
ed the Daocs with whatever missiles they
could lay their hands or, which compelled
them TO seek snfe,y in flight. A complaint
was thcrenpon lodged with the governor Of
tho Island founded on on allcdged indigniy
offered the Dinish h,g. A court was con.
Sencd--she Americans ordered on shore
for trial, when IL was proved that the Danish
ssiiors were the ssgressors in evc'y instance.
Both the law and the evidence acquitted tho
Americans OF the charge upon which they
were srraigned--yes Notwithstanding the GOV
crnor, in order to ally the crsmors Of the
nIsiutsGs,, ordered that thc ssward Of the
Olcancr should be selected for punishment,
and receive Twenty Five Lashes, which sen.
tsnec was rfgidly executed.

that he appeared TO them of even ureuter

and should judge from their own observation
that he was as much as $50 feet in length.

ion that he is cased in she'll. Several strong
