pplaski vindicated from an unsuPPor'-
ed charge, inconsiderately or maiigg.
pantly introduces in Judge Johnsons
Sketches.
This pamphlet is stated to have besn
written by one who served under the
celebrated Count Pulaski in our revo.
lusionary armies, and who has come
forward to vindicate his memory from
what appears to be gratuitous asper-
sion on the part Of the biographer OF
General Greene. We insert the pas
sage criticised by the author. 1t is
meIa ncholy fact, of which we we're IN.
formed, that the celebrated PulsskI,
who commandcd the patrol, was found
by General Washington himself asleep
in farm house. Policy only, and a
regard to the rank and misfortunes OF
tho offender, could have induced to sup.
press the fact. Yet, to this circum-
stance, most probably, we are to attrl-
butte the success of the enemy's patrol.
in approaching near enough to discover
the advance of the American columns
This statement rests on the bare ips 9
dixit of the 5iographer. The writer OF
the vindication infers its want of truth
from the entire absence Of testimony on
the subject, and the general character
of the gallant Pole. We perfectly a.
gree with him, that it is incumbent on
Judge johnson to produce the evidence
on which the assertion of such eztraor-
binary negligence is made, or solemnly
to retract the charge. Otherwise ~
must be considered, in the words OF the
title page of this pamphlet, as unsup.
ported, and inconsiders,ely or mallg-
nantly introduced. Pulaski must 60
down to posterity in the foremost rank
of genuine patriots. the foe oftyranny
| and high handed usurpatlon. After
having fought for Poland till the last
hope of her deliverance was extiDgulsh-
ed, he gained, after eDcoonterlDg many
dangers and difficulties, the shores OF
our infant republic; where the enthusi-
asm which had urged him so nobiy' out
80 vainly. to cling to the to'terlng Ia
brio of his country's independence, was
enlisted on the side of our oppressed
and indignant nation. He received his
mortal wound at the siege of Savannah.
His corpse, from the emergency Of
the case, was consigned to the waves.
His memory is sll that is left us; and
that we are bound in common graft.
tude, to cherish and protect. In the
words of this writer. if your biogra.
pher could DO thus ungratefui, thank
heaven the nation cannot. Witness
the enthusiastic reception given at this
very time to her illustrious guest; to
one who knew, who esteemed, who
admired Pulaski-to the gallant La
Fayette'
