kous men, in all ages, have been read with
pleaiuret. It is a tribute due to virtu c, to
ecoid the actions of thofe who an worthy
of emulation. Our country is and has long
been at peace—war achievements and war
e men, ere almoft forgotten ; unlels
"hen a newfp?per announces in a few lines
the death of lome revolutionary chief_and
the type has not been employed in recor
ding the death of one mo«* lamented than
ihe late Co!, j homas Butler. If virtue,
honor, benevolence, honefty, a found heart
and clear Head, united with bravery, confti,
lute a goed man, he pcflefled them, lie was
ill the year 1776, (the year that is fo iiiuth
beaded of—-that tned nie?tyi f uls,^ a ilu

of 1 lnladejphia j early in the vear he quit
ted his Ifudies and joined the army as tub
a tern loon arcie to the grade of captain,
and continued in it till the happy and glo
i lous dole of t*ie revolution —— 1 here were
' five brothers of the Butlers that joined the
American caufe, and fought during the
war, and lcit the lervice with the following
iTrndrs. viv fV»h Rirh^rvl \ tihi
iam Butler, Capt. Thomas Butler, Lieut.
Pierce Butler anti Lieut Ldward Butler—
none of them now living hut Pierce Butler.
1 homas Butler, whole memory we wifh to
perpetuate, was in almoft every action that
wras fought in the middle ffates during the
war—at the battle of Brandywine, he re
ceived the thanks of the illuitrious
ington «n tiie held of battle, through his
aid-de-camp Gen. Hamilton, for his intre
pid conduct Sri ral eying a detatcbincnt cf
retreating troops, and giving the enemy a
levere tire. ..At the battle of Monmouth,
he received the thanks of Geti. Wayne for
defending a detile in the fare of a heavy fire
from the enemy, while Col. Richard But
ler’s regiment made good thiir retreat — hif
tory records the unfortunate events of that
day.— At the clofe of the w\> ie retired
into private life as a farmer,where he en
joyed rural and domeltic happinefs until
1791: when he again took tin# field to meet
a lavage foe, that menaced eur frontier,
and the unfortunate 4th of November, of
that year, is too well known / He was can.
geroufiy wounded, and with great diffi
culty and with great hazard, his brother
capt. Ldward Butler get off the field,
where they left Gen. Richard Butler a
corpie ‘ • In 1792, he was continued on
the cltablifhment as a Major, and was pro
moted in t79/j to Lieut. Col. Commandant
ol tlie i^th lub legion, — He commanded
fort Fayette at Pinfburgh that year, when
his name alone (for he had but tew troops)
prevented the deluded Ir.iurgents from tak
ing the fort. .In 1797 he was named by
Prefident Waffington as rhe officer heft
calculated to command in the ftate of I en
neffee, when it was neceffary to difpofefs
feme citizens that had imprudently Let:led
on the Indian lands , accordingly in May
of that year he marched with his regiment
for the Miami on the Ohio, and by that
pruaencr ami good leme that has ever mar
ked his character through life, he in a fhort
time removed all difficulties, to the fatisfac
tion of thofe concerned—and as ? firm and
lading proof cf ir, he holds the refpedi and
cfleem of all the virtuous men in the frate.
lie made feveral fucctfsful treaties with the
Indians while in the Hate of TennefTea.
1h the year 1802, at the redit&ioa of the
army, he was continued as Cot- of the 2d.

arretted by the Commanding General in
18^3, at lort Adamson the Miffifippi, i'enr
to Frcderic-Town, Maryland, where he
was tried by a General Court Martial, and
acquitted honorably of all the charges, ex

Si?,
AS you have commenced an attack on
me for adhering to principles in exclufion of
men, I think it my ri^ht,in niy turn, to com
mence a fimilar attack on you for adhering
to men in exclufion of principles ; and I do
therefore now, tax both you and yowr lead
ers of having changed vour prohffions, par
ticularly with reipeft to the fabrics of the
lecretaries, and certain other officers of the
general government. It is an incontrovert
ible fa£\ that the whole people, claiming
themfelves to be republicans, both in and
out of congrefs, rulers and ruled, were ail
profcfl'edly diflatisfied with the federal aft
pafl'ed under Adams’ adminiflraticn, raifmg
the faiarics of the fecretarics and certain oth
er officers of the general government, and
we dial all of us avail ourfelve3, of this cir
curr.flance ; and it was of ail others the
mo6. availing argument in turning the peo
ple over to the republican intereft ; for in
this they felt that their purfes were concer
ned. The people were eafily led to believe
and fee that five thoufand dollars given to a
lecrctary barely for his attendance and fer
victsfor one year was unrcafonable and ex
travagant, no capital being employed and
required in the bufinefs ; while on the oth
er hand they well knew that a farmer with
a capita! of fifteen thoufand dollars employ
ed; together with his unremitted application
through all the inclemencies of the feafon,
through heat and cold, through wet and
dry, returning ewrry night to his habitation,
weary from the laborious field cculd not
make a quarter that fum. They therefor®
viewed the meafure to be b )th ungenerous
and unequal, tending to make lords of the
rulers, and tenants of the ruled. , Thefe
were the ‘pleas made ufe of by the leading
republicans. And thofe pleas and argu
ments fo made ufe of wtre tantamount to
an expreis engagement on their part, in the
event of a change of mcfl to rsdrefs this
grievance. Anri it was from an exprefs ex
pectation of fuch redrefs that the farmers
and laboring part of the Community, who
always have the money to pay instead cf
having it to receive, did exert themfelves,
and did in fa£t cffe£> i change of men. Let
me afk you, Mr. Allen,what was the rcfult ?
i.\'o man needs at this time to be informed
that no fooner than oiir leaders had e£e&
ed their dtfigu of difpta.Cir.g others and eft
abiifhing themselves, than they with brazen
lront tt:ri ed upon their heel, deferting tlicir
Kite pretenHons and profeffions, and did in
!aCt, in this enhance the but den of their
credulous friends, the farmers and mechan
ics who had juft tailed them to pla^t and
pow e’:, 1 or infiead of diminiihing the l,d
ar*t‘^s as w>as expected, they revived the led*
eVal aeft which railed them for a ihort peri
od, while things were bearing war prices,
and dirc&ly modelled the thing again, and
in f-veral instances r.iifcd the Hilaries fliil
higher, and this has been continued, ever
fincei, ho that IT IS A FACT, not to be
denied, that republicans have f*-om vur to
vear taken MORE WAGFS fron?^ th*
FARMER and MECHANIC in times
when things bear peace pi ices than the fed*
eralifts ever had HARDIIiOOU to do
! while things bore war prices. I call on you
1 now to reconcile your profe/nons with v ur
practice. In this particular cafe l (hall have
