taken, and forclbly placed in . buggy be-
tween two men, and started towards the
United States. I reached out my hands
and caught the freins, when three pistols
we're pointed at my head, with threats to
shoot the id scoundrel dead if he moved.
Some Canadian citizens then spoke up, and,
seeing the baiIiG, they started with mo
towards him, two of them holding arms in
their hands. ae SOC 3 9, a.,e- - go
"Thsse statements can be proven by
Canadian citizens. They came into this
place, and even beyond it, bringing guns,
and attempting to kill some of US while we
were in the hands Of the English authori>
ties. Surely the people Of Vermont must
have forgotten that you are not at war, and
governed by man despotic in his actions
and despotic in his infany. bqs
81 am not afraid to 60 before the courts
of Canada, for when the affair is investigat
cd am satisfied that my party will not be
found to be the violators of Canadian and
English law. Some one, l hope, will be
sent to investigate this breach of neutraliS
ty, and award to those American citizens
doing armed duty in Canada, the just merit
of their transgression. g as
Please give this publication, and oblige
Yours, resrectfully,
