[Description of the procession and burial of the "much
detested proclamation":]
First were carried two flags with the following labels,
on one Liberty, on the other No Proclamation. Between the
flags walked the two representatives: a clerk and sexton
preceded the coffin; on the left; the grave digger carrying
a spade on his shoulder. The proclamation was cut out of
Antilon's first paper, and deposited in the coffin, near
which moved slowly on two drummers with muffled drums, and
two fifers playing a dead march: after them were drawn six
pieces of small cannon, followed by a great concourse of
citizens, and the gentlemen from the country, who attended
this funeral. . .
