An extract from letter written by
gentleman at Fishkill, dated October
4 %. 1888, says: "Such of the old Tory
party who remain will be the first OBJ
jects of popular rage;--and the apos-
tates who signed the Association
Tloyalists1 in 1775, and afterwards join
ed the British with the traders ana 9TH
er strangers who have gone into New
York during the course of the War will
then be notified in their order.
The voice of the people is so univer-
sally against them, that they cannot
hope for peaceable residence amongst
u.s."
Another letter says: Il really think
the Loyalists are exceedingly wrong to
venture TO stay, for even if they should
be cleared by law, yet they will be
roughly handled by the exasperated
mob. The Wings say that the Govern
or will show the Tories no mercy. l
am told that there will be upwards of
one hundred Wings from this place,
(Albany) who will 90 down completely
armed, to assist in clearing the city of
Tories. The lawyers Twho were de-
Tending the Tories in the courts are
watched; the Wings speak very hard OF
them, and their conduct is reprobated.
