From the New-York Journal, February 8. To the Printer. Sir,
As an account of the late disturbances between the soldiers
and inhabitants of this city, was published in Mr. Parker's
last paper, which I shall take it for granted, has at
present pretty well satisfied the curiosity of the town, I
think it needless at this time to repeat any thing in that
account. . . [3 lines] I shall however begin where that
writer left off, and recount the transactions since that
time, relative to the same subject. . . [Describes events
leading up to erecting a Liberty Pole, its destruction, its
restoration] It was drawn through the streets from the ship
yards, by 6 horses, decorated with ribbands, 3 flags flying,
with the words Liberty and Property, and attended by several
thousands of the inhabitants. It was raised without any
accident, while the French Horns played, God save the King.
