Boston, Sept. 5. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in
Newport, Rhode-Island, to one in the town.
Aug. 29. Effigies of three persons in a cart, each of them
to a gallow. . . ropes around their necks.
[Song sung] Posted on one of the posts the following song.
He who for a post, or base sordid pelf,
His country betrays, makes a rope for himself;
Of this example before you we bring,
In these infamous rogues, who in effigy swing.
Huzza my brave boys ever man stand his ground.
. . . [11 more lines]
CHORUS:
Sing tantarara, burn all, burn all,
Sing tantarara, burn all.
