The division that ravaged New Ha-
ven was composed mostly of German,
Irish and renegade loyalist Americans,
These mercenaries in parts of the
country held by them committed untold
atrocities upon the defenceless inhabi-
tants, leaving fire, murder and outrage
in their wake.
Consequently the foreign prisoners
and deserters who remained were iii
very bad order with the natives. who
looked upon them as foreign butchers
who had sold themselves to their own
tyrants to help forge the chains of tyr
amy upon the Americans. The loyal
American Tories were run out of the
country double quick and their prop
erty confiscated. 1t is a great wonder
the foreigners were allowed to remain
in the country where they had caused
so much wretchedness for it required
| two generations to eradicate the feel
| ing that they came here with blood
thirsty bayonets in payment of British
gold. But the natives were clean
tuckered'' out with the seven years war
and glad for peace to live with even a
former foe. History tells us the OPP

HUMAN MATER BES CU-RIS."
The French and the Jews were our
only ready friends with men and money
in the times that tried women's as well
as mems souls. The first influx of for
eigners was unlimited and unwelcomed.
The second was invited and welcomed,
for they were sturdy, honest and in
dustrious The present influx is like
the Frogs of Egypt" but we have no
Moses at Washington to stay the flood.
Oh! what will the harvest be. If ever a
people should love the flag and respect
the laws of the land and it's customs it
is the foreigner who has fled for protec-
ton under Old Glory, and who with in
dustcy and economy can in time sit UNI
der his own vine and tig-tree, with none
to rnolest or make afraid,
4 word for the honest Tory, of whom
Chandler (whose house still stands next
to Foote & Co.'S fish market on State
street, was the honorable type. New
Haven was probably saved from bon
fire by Chandler and other Tories
pleading with Gen. Gath, and yet af-
| ter all he and the other Tories were run
out of New Haven and his property
confiscated.
They claimed we had no right to rebel
because OF some light taxes particular

fering and poverty entailed by seven
years war, leaving us so poor that only
one of family could go to church for
lack of clothes and placing us in the
hands of an irresponsible mob gov

rum by apprentices who are turned out
every four years, and another lot OF
lean Kline turned in to forage upon the
country,
| Opened our portals so that for the
last fifty years the sewers OF the world
have enptied on to us, making this
country a cess-pool, An elective fran

The doomed discover their mistakes
too late.A people can never know their
own history so long as they read only
their own historians. The digging Of a
canal across an entire state in the early
part Of the last century was a most
colossal undertaking when we consider

for labor to hire, which was very
scarce, as every man upon his little
