Страница 27 - In this strait of affairs, a rumor was set afloat to which some credence must be given, that Bonaparte claimed West Florida and intended to exercise therein his jurisdiction. This seems to have been the straw that broke the camel's back, for immediately on the circulation of this remarkable information the citizens met in all the respective districts, at the request of the assembled citizens of Feliciana, and delegates were chosen to meet in general convention at Buhler's Plains. When news of these...
Страница 11 - The gods are just, and of our pleasant vices Make instruments to scourge us: The dark and vicious place where thee he got, Cost him his eyes.

The allegiance which they owed and preserved with so much fidelity to their lawful sovereign can never be transferred to the destroyer of their country's independence." "We therefore, the people of West Florida, exercising the rights which incontestibly devolve upon us, declare that we owe no allegiance to the present ruler of the French nation, or to any king, prince or sovereign, who may be placed by him on the throne of Spain, and we will always,...

Страница 34 - That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Secretary of State, with a request that he send it to the American Minister at St. Petersburg, and that said Minister be directed to present the same to his Imperial Majesty Alexander III., Czar of all the Russian.
Страница 3 - Such is the city on behalf of which these warriors have nobly died in battle, vindicating her just title to unimpaired rights; and on behalf of which all of us here left behind must willingly toil— drawing the lesson that the conflict is not for equal motives between us and our enemies, who possess nothing of the like excellence.
Страница 22 - The pot proved to be a modern little teapot, made of glazed brown earthenware, and the pipe, made of clay as well, but more of a greenish color. At first sight I put both objects down as white man's handiwork. As the owner was not willing to part with the relics, I made a drawing of the pipe (Plate XIV, Fig. 2), but did not deem it of importance enough to consider the other object at all. A partner to it may be purchased in any of our crockery stores for a trifle. Both objects were evidently intrusive....
Страница 28 - ... in 1777 was appointed surgeon-general of the military hospital in the middle department, but in the same year he exchanged this for the office of physiciangeneral, which, owing to some misunderstanding among the managers of the hospital stores, he resigned in February following. He still, however, continued to take an active part in the politics of the state to which he belonged, and contributed to the formation of a new government, that which prevailed before in Pennsylvania appearing to him...
