N. Fuller under the heading "Patriots Invade Canadian Terri- tory." It reads as follows: Northern New York was interes!- in the Canadian rebellion from the first and showed a lively sym- {pathy with those who were seeking to throw off the British yoke. Edi- tors in those days did not hesitate to color their news despatches. An Og- densburg dispatch of Dec. 8th, 1837 published in the Jeffersonian said that "the sympathies of our citizens along the line are greatiy excited in favor of the Patriots, and meetings are being called in all directions to embody and express the feeling of 1 eq = the public." On the night of February 18th, (1838, an event occurred in Water- {town that threw the community into excitement. That night the stato {arsenal was entered by an unknown band and 400 stand of arms wore taken. The Jeffersonian did not be- come greatly excited over this affair tice: "The state arsenal in this village was broken open on the night of the 18th inst., and a quantity of arms taken therefrom; it is supposed their destination Canada, as a large number of loyal Canadians were said ito have arrived in the village the evening previous, We understand that the keeper, Mr. J. Fairbanks, Eisq., has repaired to Albany to noti- {Iy the proper authorities, and to re- {ceive such instructions as the exi- gencies of the case require. A re- {ward of $250 is offered for the re- jcovery of the property and the con- viction of the offenders. It is not a is en are of those taken from the Brit- ish in the last war." Simultaneously state arsenals at Batavia and Elizabethtown were en- tered and arms were stolen. Plans {were under way for a military ex- | edition to be fitted out in Jefferson jcounty, the purpose of which was JJ | selected as tne date, IDR.T. H. RENTON {the capture of Kingston.

Wil- liam Lyon Mackenzie, the leader of the Upper Canadian revoit, had come {to Watertown and had joined the {party. He had corresponded with friends in Kingston and they had agreed to spike the guns of Fort [Henry and throw open the gates of |the stronghold when larmy should appear. | But the plans failed. The weather {was intensely cold and the men at [French Creek suffered greatly from |exposure. The discipline was lax land there was practically no organi- {zation among the" promiscuous as- |semblage. Many of the Jefferson {county men who had driven their {sleighs to French Creek wanted to {return home. Mackenzie was dissat- isfied with Van Rensselaer and de- clared that he would not accompany the expedition as long as he was in command. Thus mutual jealousy, {which seemed to have been carried | {over from the Navy Island incident, | { was enough to put a damper on the iwhola proceeding. Volunteers were [called for to go to Hickory Island. | At the first call 33 responded. Seventy-five responded to the second {call and 35 at the third call. From {then on it was every man for him- self and a large part of the force went back home, Kingston was but poorly defended {and a vigorous attack might have | captured the place. There was much [uneasiness in. the city and the {took up a position on Wolfe Island. | Colonel Cubbitt of the Royal Artil- | lery commanded the force and he de- |termined on a vigorous offense as the {best defense and planned to launch jan attack on Hickory Island, but |the invaders of British territory had fled. | Mackenzie caused to be inserted lin the newspapers a statement which {was published in the Jeffersonian as | follows: "Allow me the use of your columns to state, with reference to the ex- {tract which you published from a {letter of mine last week, that I have {nether seen nor corresponded with | Mr. Remssalaer. = Van Rensselaer in I his recent movements on this fron- |tier, but have earnestly and invari- ably, urged my friends to withdraw {all confidence from him in matters |connected with Canada. 'As to his |generalship I do not pretend to be a {fudge of its merits. Others will do | that. "Yours very respectfully, W. L. Mackenzie. |"Watertown, Feb. 22nd, 1838." | On the same day the Jeffersonian {published this news item regarding [the invasion; under the heading | "Rumors of War:" | "It is said that a large collection {of men are assembled at the port of French Creek in this county, having no ostensible object in view. Yester- day afternoon Judge McKnight, Sheriff Baker, District A!torney Sherman and Major General Corss repaired thither with a view of ascer- |taining whether any military prepar- {ations were going forward. They re- jturned last night and report that a large number of persons had collect- ed but that no movement of a mili- {tary character had been discovered. All was peaceful, quiet and orderly. "Today many persons have left {this village for French Creek--prob- {ably to gratify curiosity, ete." | The Jeffersonian was not greatly {impressed with the military prowess {of Van Rensselaer, as the next | Week's issue referred to him as "Mr. |Van. No General," in the following jarticle: "A number of the Patriots {ander the command of Mr. Van No { General, congregated on Hickory {Island in the St. Lawrence Thurs- [Gay of last week, for the alleged pur- pose of visiting Canada; but owing, as is alleged, to the stupidity, cow- ardice, drunkenness or some other {trait in the said Van Rensselaer, the | Patriots dispersed. | "The state arms taken from the {arsenal have mostly been recovered: |some indictments have been found |against individuals charged with aid- ing the seizure. William Johnston . |has been arrested and held in bail in the sum of $5,000 on the charge of setting on foot a military expedi- tion agwinst Canada. Mackenzie has left for Washington. Several com- ranies of militia are stationed at French Creek and Cape Vincent. Thess will-probably soon be disband- ed." Two citizens of Clayton, John Packard and George Hulsenberg were captured by the Bnitish ana lodgon in the Kingston jail. The Jeffersonian said that they were in no way connected with the expedi- tion but went to Hickory Island out of curiosity. The two men were im- prisoned six months and were finally released. On March 1st the Jeffersonian re- corded this interesting item: "On Tuesday evening Colonel Phil- pot of the British army, aid to Sir John Colborne, arrived at the Amer- ican escorted by a guard of 12 men and a part @f the staff of Major-Gen- eral Corss detailed for that duty. || Colonel Philpot was not only guard- ed to the Amerfcan but in it wes escorted by a guard to and from the supper table, a guard placed at the door of his rooms, and on Wednes- day morning he and his staff return- ad to French Creek. He came to in- vestigate the Hickory Island affair." "Two more arrests have been made. D. Heustis, of Watertown, and Benjamin Collins, of Evans' Mills, for setiing out a military ex- jipeditionto Canada." Wit is the salt of conversation, the Patriot | militia | FROM WHIG FYLES.
