Of "hard cider11 memory, the "log cubiu" tea?
The British whigs ate powerful conju
rors. They have "'transmogrifi-id'' Gran
ny Harrison's splendid mansion at North
Bend into a dirty Hog cabin," for political
effect. This enchanted Hog cabin" groans
under 'coon skins," "skunk skins," and
"mink skins," cider gourds" anil clou's,
strings of "red pepper" pods, and God Al
mighty knows what. They have changed
the "old Granny's" choice wines anil ex
otic liquors by a sort of presto political
process into Hiaru cider by the ntrreJ,
which he draws, sujigs and swigs, am
draws and swigs agun, from a gourd, or
sucks as it were f om the bung with a sim
lin s'alk or reel. They have "honey
fuggled" the "old Granny" into a "mon
s er-atious" hero all of a sudden, and have
nominated her for the next presidency.
They have caged her in a Hog cabin'
since her nomination, to prevent her from
talking with the Hiuge paws" about 4 -nutters
and things in general," connected
vn ilh governmental affairs, lest she might
commit herself and throw all the abolition
fat in the fire," being in her dotage, hav-
ing arrived to the years of superannuation

she bore the "black cockade" during the
'reign of terror," and was an olfice holder
under the monarchist John Adams,
"alien and sedition" memory.
The federalists or British whigs have
never but once had the ascendancy, since
the foundation of the government, which
was about forty years ago, under the admi
nistration of the elder Adams. But in or
der that ye the "huge paws" of the pie
sent day may form a faint idea of that
reign, very aptly termed the "reign of
terror," 1 have thought proper herewith
to give ye a few beautiful specimens of
their doings while in power; which only
iasted one Presidential term, (four years.)
The people becoming indignant at such
usurpations and tyranny, rose in the majes
ty of their streng'h and hurled the would
be despots from their "high esta'e," at the
next presidential election; which resulted
in the election of the "great apostle of lib
erty," the "father of democracy," the im
mortal Jetferson.
Here follow the specimens of British
whiggery, while in power forty years ago,
during the "reign of terror;" w hich will
doubtless be revived in the election of
'Granny Harrison," should the "huge
paws" disregard their own interests so far
as to elevate her to the presidential chair.
Grannies are all despotic, whether male or
female, and always will be, unless there be
a change in the nature of man; which is
not probable, as long as this world stands.
Specimen, No. 1. On Wednesday, 3rd
of April, 1799, about 15 of the Lancaster
troop of horse, commanded by Captain
Montgomery, came to my Iioumc, and hav
ing secured my workmen, to prevent their
assisting me, observed to them, that if I
was desirous to keep or preserve my house,
1 should fell the pole erected in my yard;
which was generally denominated a liber
ty polef though destitute of the customary
-.ymbois, the cap and flag. Like highway
men, with a pistol in one hand and a
sword in the other, they approached me,
threatened to dispatch me instantly if I ut
tered one word! and forced the tobacco
pipe from me with which 1 was regaling
myself, and broke it, saying I had no right
io enjoy this amusement.
My wife met with similar treatment,
who having by her a child cf two years of
age, in consequence of her fright occasion
ed by this their disorderly conduct, fell
sick and continued indisposed several days.
Another one of my children was kicked
and spurned to the ground. They then
took my axe and cut down the pole, and af
terwards departed, carrying with them the
axe, my property. JACOB G0SS1N.

Mr. Lampe was then already "a man well
advanced in years; he owned and kept the
tavern at the fir?t gate on ihe Philadelphia
turnpike, now known as Fry's tavern.
Specimen, No. 3. On ti e 20th of April,
1799, John Fry, Reichard, and three more
of ihe Lancaster t ioop of hot se, came to my
printing office, while I was closely engaged
at work. One of them desired to speak a
word with me; I stepped aside with him,
and begged to know his business; he then
demanded ihe author of a piece, published
some lime previous in the Heading E gle.
1 observed to him, that it was not cus
tomaty with printers to give their authors'
mmis, udes previously consulted, and
their consent obtained. That as I neither
consulted with, nor obtained their consent,
i
ill did not think myself at liberty to com-
jptV wnn nis requ-'si. i ney nowever in
sisted upon tn's information oein given
tlv?m. 1 persisted in the refusal. When
they found I was not to be shaken from my
purpose, they desired me to go with them
to the captiin. 1 teplied, I have no busi
ness with the captain, and therefore see no
reason why I should wait upon him; and if
he has any business with me, I conceive it
is his place to call upon me. And further
observed, if I had been guilty of any
LV ime r vltion of any law,on account of
the aforesaid publica ion, our municipal
law, ins no iloubt provided ample redress;;
let that be pursued, and I will submit to
the decision without one word of corn-
plaint Hereupon they damned their
sou's, that I should be taken to the captain
and drawing their swords, laid hold of me.
r'at the imminent risk of my garments be
ing rent Irom my bo ly, and with violence
forced me out of my office soldier-like
damning themselves it I did not proceed
instantly without the smallest resistance,
they would, with their swords, split my
skull, cut off my head, &c. Terrified by
this rufiian-like conduct, and unprepared
with any weapon of defence, 1 was forced
to Michael Wood's inn, where the captain
lodged; and being uhered into a room,
filled with glorious peacemakers, I was ac
costed thus politely: "Is this the damned
rascal? Is this the damned son of a bitch?
&c. His throat should be cut; let him be
hung; cut him to pieces," &c. The pre
sence of the captain at length relieved me
from those pleasing observations; who ad
dtcssing me, asked whither I would in
form him the author's name? 1 replied, I
h.-.ve no author of whom 1 can inform vou.
Well, -ays he, if you do not comply with
this request, we will heat you in such a
matintr, tint you shall feel the e ffects of
our disph asure for six months at least, if
not during your life. 1 returned, I have
already told you, that 1 had no author's
name, of which 1 could make a discovery;
and further inform yTou, that the facts were
handed to tne by the very people w hom
the troop had abued and insulted in that
manner, which 1 arranged and gave public
ly in my paper. Then the captain order
ed his praiseworthy troops to take me to
the market house, and ordered the trum
peter, the common whipper, to give me
twenty-live lashes. As soon as the orders
were delivered, the troop, obedient to the
orders of the captain, loaded their pistols
and forced me to the market house, and
there desired me to snip. I refused,
whereupon the greater part of those who
had surro jnded me, which were if not the
whole company, though the greater par t of
it, wiih drawn swords, swore if 1 did not
strip instantly they wou.d cut me to pieces.
I then pulled off my est, and the trumpe
ter gave me to the best of my recollection,
six strokes with a cowhide, when one ob
served, it was sufficient

Here then, my poor hard working
friends of the real "log cabins" of the

specimens of the "reign of terror," the
"federal reign," forty years ago, under the

supported and he'd office under, and like
wise wore the badge of royalty and of loy
