Well, then, here we sit, an old, gray, withered6, sour-visaged, threadbare sort of gentleman, erect8 enough, here in our solitude9, but marked out by a depressed10 and distrustful mien11 abroad, as one conscious of a stigma12 upon his forehead, though for no crime. We were already in the decline of life when the first tremors13 of the earthquake that has convulsed the continent were felt. Our mind had grown too rigid14 to change any of its opinions, when the voice of the people demanded that all should be changed. We are an Episcopalian, and sat under the High-Church doctrines15 of Dr. Caner16; we have been a captain of the provincial17 forces, and love our king the better for the blood that we shed in his cause on the Plains of Abraham. Among all the refugees, there is not one more loyal to the backbone18 than we. Still we lingered behind when the British army evacuated19 Boston, sweeping20 in its train most of those with whom we held communion; the old, loyal gentlemen, the aristocracy of the colonies, the hereditary21 Englishman, imbued23 with more than native zeal24 and admiration25 for the glorious island and its monarch1, because the far-intervening ocean threw a dim reverence26 around them. When our brethren departed, we could not tear our aged7 roots out of the soil.
We have remained, therefore, enduring to be outwardly a freeman, but idolizing King George in secrecy27 and silence,—one true old heart amongst a host of enemies. We watch, with a weary hope, for the moment when all this turmoil28 shall subside29, and the impious novelty that has distracted our latter years, like a wild dream, give place to the blessed quietude of royal sway, with the king's name in every ordinance30, his prayer in the church, his health at the board, and his love in the people's heart. Meantime, our old age finds little honor. Hustled31 have we been, till driven from town-meetings; dirty water has been cast upon our ruffles32 by a Whig chambermaid; John Hancock's coachman seizes every opportunity to bespatter us with mud; daily are we hooted33 by the unbreeched rebel brats34; and narrowly, once, did our gray hairs escape the ignominy of tar22 and feathers. Alas35! only that we cannot bear to die till the next royal governor comes over, we would fain be in our quiet grave.
Such an old man among new things are we who now hold at arm's-length the rebel newspaper of the day. The very figure-head, for the thousandth time, elicits36 it groan37 of spiteful lamentation38. Where are the united heart and crown, the loyal emblem39, that used to hallow the sheet on which it was impressed, in our younger days? In its stead we find a continental40 officer, with the Declaration of Independence in one hand, a drawn41 sword in the other, and above his head a scroll42, bearing the motto, "WE APPEAL TO HEAVEN." Then say we, with a prospective43 triumph, let Heaven judge, in its own good time! The material of the sheet attracts our scorn. It is a fair specimen44 of rebel manufacture, thick and coarse, like wrapping-paper, all overspread with little knobs; and of such a deep, dingy45 blue color, that we wipe our spectacles thrice before we can distinguish a letter of the wretched print. Thus, in all points, the newspaper is a type of the times, far more fit for the rough hands of a democratic mob, than for our own delicate, though bony fingers. Nay46 we will not handle it without our gloves!
Glancing down the page, our eyes are greeted everywhere by the offer of lands at auction47, for sale or to be leased, not by the rightful owners, but a rebel committee; notices of the town constable48, that he is authorized49 to receive the taxes on such all estate, in default of which, that also is to be knocked down to the highest bidder50; and notifications of complaints filed by the attorney-general against certain traitorous51 absentees, and of confiscations that are to ensue. And who are these traitors52? Our own best friends; names as old, once as honored, as any in the land where they are no longer to have a patrimony53, nor to be remembered as good men who have passed away. We are ashamed of not relinquishing54 our little property, too; but comfort ourselves because we still keep our principles, without gratifying the rebels with our plunder55. Plunder, indeed, they are seizing everywhere,—by the strong hand at sea, as well as by legal forms oil shore. Here are prize-vessels for sale; no French nor Spanish merchantmen, whose wealth is the birthright of British subjects, but hulls56 of British oak, from Liverpool, Bristol, and the Thames, laden57 with the king's own stores, for his army in New York. And what a fleet of privateers—pirates, say we—are fitting out for new ravages58, with rebellion in their very names! The Free Yankee, the General Greene, the Saratoga, the Lafayette, and the Grand Monarch! Yes, the Grand Monarch; so is a French king styled, by the sons of Englishmen. And here we have an ordinance from the Court of Versailles, with the Bourbon's own signature affixed59, as if New England were already a French province. Everything is French,—French soldiers, French sailors, French surgeons, and French diseases too, I trow; besides French dancing-masters and French milliners, to debauch61 our daughters with French fashions! Everything in America is French, except the Canadas, the loyal Canadas, which we helped to wrest62, from France. And to that old French province the Englishman of the colonies must go to find his country!
O, the misery63 of seeing the whole system of things changed in my old days, when I would be loath64 to change even a pair of buckles65! The British coffee-house, where oft we sat, brimful of wine and loyalty66, with the gallant67 gentlemen of Amherst's army, when we wore a redcoat too,—the British coffee-house, forsooth, must now be styled the American, with a golden eagle instead of the royal arms above the door. Even the street it stands in is no longer King Street! Nothing is the king's, except this heavy heart in my old bosom68. Wherever I glance my eyes, they meet something that pricks69 them like a needle. This soap-maker, for instance, this Hobert Hewes, has conspired70 against my peace, by notifying that his shop is situated71 near Liberty Stump72. But when will their misnamed liberty have its true emblem in that Stump, hewn down by British steel?
Where shall we buy our next year's almanac? Not this of Weatherwise's, certainly; for it contains a likeness73 of George Washington, the upright rebel, whom we most hate, though reverentially, as a fallen angel, with his heavenly brightness undiminished, evincing pure fame in an unhallowed cause. And here is a new book for my evening's recreation,—a History of the War till the close of the year 1779, with the heads of thirteen distinguished74 officers, engraved75 on copperplate. A plague upon their heads! We desire not to see them till they grin at us from the balcony before the town-house, fixed60 on spikes76, as the heads of traitors. How bloody77-minded the villains78 make a peaceable old man! What next? An Oration79, on the Horrid80 Massacre81 of 1770. When that blood was shed,—the first that the British soldier ever drew from the bosoms82 of our countrymen,—we turned sick at heart, and do so still, as often as they make it reek83 anew from among the stones in King Street. The pool that we saw that night has swelled84 into a lake,—English blood and American,—no! all British, all blood of my brethren. And here come down tears. Shame on me, since half of them are shed for rebels! Who are not rebels now! Even the women are thrusting their white hands into the war, and come out in this very paper with proposals to form a society—the lady of George Washington at their head—for clothing the continental troops. They will strip off their stiff petticoats to cover the ragged85 rascals86, and then enlist87 in the ranks themselves.
What have we here? Burgoyne's proclamation turned into Hudibrastic rhyme! And here, some verses against the king, in which the scribbler leaves a blank for the name of George, as if his doggerel88 might yet exalt89 him to the pillory90. Such, after years of rebellion, is the heart's unconquerable reverence for the Lord's anointed! In the next column, we have scripture91 parodied92 in a squib against his sacred Majesty93. What would our Puritan great-grandsires have said to that? They never laughed at God's word, though they cut off a king's head.
Yes; it was for us to prove how disloyalty goes hand in hand with irreligion, and all other vices94 come trooping in the train. Nowadays men commit robbery and sacrilege for the mere95 luxury of wickedness, as this advertisement testifies. Three hundred pounds reward for the detection of the villains who stole and destroyed the cushions and pulpit drapery of the Brattle Street and Old South churches. Was it a crime? I can scarcely think our temples hallowed, since the king ceased to be prayed for. But it is not temples only that they rob. Here a man offers a thousand dollars—a thousand dollars, in Continental rags!—for the recovery of his stolen cloak, and other articles of clothing. Horse-thieves are innumerable. Now is the day when every beggar gets on horseback. And is not the whole land like a beggar on horseback riding post to the Davil? Ha! here is a murder, too. A woman slain96 at midnight, by all unknown ruffian, and found cold, stiff, and bloody, in her violated bed! Let the hue-and-cry follow hard after the man in the uniform of blue and buff who last went by that way. My life on it, he is the blood-stained ravisher! These deserters whom we see proclaimed in every column,—proof that the banditti are as false to their Stars and Stripes as to the Holy Red Cross,—they bring the crimes of a rebel camp into a soil well suited to them; the bosom of a people, without the heart that kept them virtuous97,—their king!
Here flaunting98 down a whole column, with official seal and signature, here comes a proclamation. By whose authority? Ah! the United States,—these thirteen little anarchies, assembled in that one grand anarchy99, their Congress. And what the import? A general Fast. By Heaven! for once the traitorous blockheads have legislated100 wisely! Yea; let a misguided people kneel down in sackcloth and ashes, from end to end, from border to border, of their wasted country. Well may they fast where there is no food, and cry aloud for whatever remnant of God's mercy their sins may not have exhausted101. We too will fast, even at a rebel summons. Pray others as they will, there shall be at least an old man kneeling for the righteous cause. Lord, put down the rebels! God save the king!
Peace to the good old Tory! One of our objects has been to exemplify, without softening102 a single prejudice proper to the character which we assumed, that the Americans who clung to the losing side in the Revolution were men greatly to be pitied and often worthy103 of our sympathy. It would be difficult to say whose lot was most lamentable104, that of the active Tories, who gave up their patrimonies105 for a pittance106 from the British pension-roll, and their native land for a cold reception in their miscalled home, or the passive ones who remained behind to endure the coldness of former friends, and the public opprobrium107, as despised citizens, under a government which they abhorred108. In justice to the old gentleman who has favored us with his discontented musings, we must remark that the state of the country, so far as can be gathered from these papers, was of dismal109 augury110 for the tendencies of democratic rule. It was pardonable in the conservative of that day to mistake the temporary evils of a change for permanent diseases of the system which that change was to establish. A revolution, or anything that interrupts social order, may afford opportunities for the individual display of eminent111 virtues112; but its effects are pernicious to general morality. Most people are so constituted that they can be virtuous only in a certain routine; and an irregular course of public affairs demoralizes them. One great source of disorder113 was the multitude of disbanded troops, who were continually returning home, after terms of service just long enough to give them a distaste to peaceable occupations; neither citizens nor soldiers, they were very liable to become ruffians. Almost all our impressions in regard to this period are unpleasant, whether referring to the state of civil society, or to the character of the contest, which, especially where native Americans were opposed to each other, was waged with the deadly hatred114 of fraternal enemies. It is the beauty of war, for men to commit mutual115 havoc116 with undisturbed good-humor.
The present volume of newspapers contains fewer characteristic traits than any which we have looked over. Except for the peculiarities117 attendant on the passing struggle, manners seem to have taken a modern cast. Whatever antique fashions lingered into the War of the Revolution, or beyond it, they were not so strongly marked as to leave their traces in the public journals. Moreover, the old newspapers had an indescribable picturesqueness118, not to be found in the later ones. Whether it be something in the literary execution, or the ancient print and paper, and the idea that those same musty pages have been handled by people once alive and bustling120 amid the scenes there recorded, yet now in their graves beyond the memory of man; so it is, that in those elder volumes we seem to find the life of a past age preserved between the leaves, like a dry specimen of foliage121. It is so difficult to discover what touches are really picturesque119, that we doubt whether our attempts have produced any similar effect.
