I was born in Chester county, in the state of
Pennsyl_vatiia, and when about ‘.7. l , I went to Phil-
-‘a._delphia, and sailetl with an old friend of my fa-
" " l.ll':l"S, a sea-captain, to New-Orleans, and work-
‘e_d my passage there. .
In’ New-‘Orleans I suffered a good deal of trou-
ble, for I had no money but vrltat I made by dan-
gerous thieving and gambling. At last I enlist-
ed in. the Governor’s guard, and at this time I as-
sociatcd myself _with some desperate fellows, who
were in the habit of kn_ocking people down in the
streets, and robbing them. , The first person we
i'ol)bcd_ in this manner, was the captain of the ship
Ocean‘, in company with a gentleman of the city
of New‘-,'O‘_rleans; I took the _captain’s watch, for
xiv-hic‘h he must have paid 50" guineas in France.
As I was playingat cards sometime after, lhav-
ing sta_‘-.-'.ecl his watch against three others, in came
it French gentleman dressed in uniform, and'ask-
edtmc if I was not an‘ officer belonging to the
Govt-r'nor’s guard, as he had seen me at the Gov-
ernor‘s, dressed in uniform ; told him I was:
he said he had occasion for proper officers to get
back some money he had been robbed of last
night. It was I. and my companions that had
rc-bbed him, and had got a great deal of money
from him. \Vltat made us stop him was our
hearing his money jingle in his pockets, and see-
ing so m’uch powder in his hair. This was good
eucotlragenient to us : and as for me, I should
have been loth to ‘change my place for a Colo-
nel’.-; commission. ‘
Ln’. now, as I feared weisheuld get notorious in
I‘~iew-Orleans, and saw every few days a'compa-
my start from New-‘O.-‘leans, on horses and were
told they“carried a great deal of money with them
through the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations to.
get to Ketitticky, Tennessee, and l-‘ittsbnrg: we
thought we should do better on the highway.-—
But before we went, we made two other robber-
ies. One ofmy men took 257 (lo-liars from acoun—
tryman : he told me‘, when I came up, it was all
that be had ; I gave him up 4-0 dollars in silver.
The same evening I went and stopped a Span-
iard, and he gave me a watch and 17 dollars.—.
He seemed poor, and I left his watch and part of
the money where he got it again. Now I saw it
was slow__ and dangerous work too, to make men-
ey in tbe‘cityto'f New-Orleans ; so we agreed to
get some rilles, and three first ratehorses, that
were swift and genteel. VVe left the town, and
went as far as Nashville, in theistate of Tennes-
see, without meeting with any thing. \Ve raked
the wilderness from Muscle Shoals to the‘ Choc-
taw nation. One day when we were much fati-
gued with huiriing. (we depended on this for our
eating) we came across a company of four men.
I had hard work to save their lives. \Ve stopped
them ; we had hid all the horses from the sight
of the road: I stepped up to one that had hol-
sters before him, and told him that I had twelve
highway robbers under my command, and the-
first man that moved should be blown to hell.-
The dry cane made a great cracking ; it was so
thick in that spot that a man could not be seen
ten feet from the read. It was :1 cloudy day, and
every thing looked very black and gloomy, and
the sound of the cane, though it did not frighten
me, made me feel very strange ‘and out of the
way '; my two men said we had not painted our
faces, which we ought to havu__clone,antl'tl1at we
should be known, and it was belter to murder ras-
cals, than let them live_ and tell tales on us. An
oldish man spoke and said “ For God’s sake spare
mylife.” I told him it was well thoughtof; that
if there should one man move till I gave leave,
they would all he landed in eternity ; and with this
I called to one of my companions to come up and
take the money. Up stepped one, with a pair of
double harrelled pistols hanging in abelt buckled
round his body, and a dagger hanging on his
breast in sight, and a good, rifle in his hand. I
told him not to ‘fire on them, until they should
make battle. \Ve,took all that they had, and af-
ter I had talkeda little while longer with my men,
we set them on the road.
A day or two before this-, while we were hunt-
ing in the woods,-we came across a spot that
seemed a very good retreat from any danger of
being overtaken byjusuce,‘ and- a very comforta-
ble home too. It was on "one side of a cane
brake, where the cane grew very thick and tall,
and would have concealed us from the best eyes;
near the Chickasaw Bluffs. .- '
Here we-laid‘ourselves- down to sleep,‘ as we
bad'slept.'out little for two or three nights back.
As fofr'me,l con-ldnot sleep, but lay looking some-
times in the'fire we had kindled, and sometimes
at the stars, and li-steningtto the wind in among
the cane brake, which made”st1ch”a mournful,
rustling noise, that I often thought something or ‘
somebody was coming through the cane after us.
So I got up, and, went to see if-our horses were
.near, which wehadlet loose near..the brake ; and
after Ifound them, I employed myself counting
- the money, while‘ my two companions had slept
on, as if nothing had happened. I had not suf-
fered the two men to open the mOL‘lll‘.S of all the
baggs; to see ivhal asaotilat was ln:'a.efi's?. »'*2E'l1_él'é_:-

was frightened for his life, and Itold hi_m§_I had
never asked any man for his life," and -if we were
not so strongly armed, he would take mine‘; bill
that he should not be hurt. A good deal-of the
money we took was in gold'_ and specie, and In

made each man a- belt, and put all the gold in

large pair of saddle bags lashed the pack-
saddle. One of the men had a watch that would
run, he told me, seven days without winding up,
and asked me if I would exchange my horse for
it. I. told him ‘ no.’ My two men were inva
house five or six miles from the Chickasaw na-
tion, with a man that called -his name Hayfoot, a
-half bred Indian ; they had taken their horses to
his house, which stands between Bear Creek and
Tennessee river. I rode on before my company
to inform my menthat we might likely get some-
thing from these men. One ofmy fellows would
hardly hear me to the end, so greedy was he af-
ter the pack-saddle I mentioned." VVe_ileft the
neighborhood of Bear Creek, took to the great
road again, and made as fast, possible after the
company I had left, which I was much afraid we
should miss. About twenty miles from the house
of one Thomson, who was known in those parts
at that ‘time, I overtook the company again.-
This Thomson is a white man married to asquaw.

like the Indian when he is going to war. The
party was pretty well armed ; I rode up to them
—-they all started very much at seeing us, as we.
showed our arms and looked very threatening.-
I spake to them in the Creek tongue, of which I
knew a few words, as if I had been an Indian.-—
They did not understand me. One of my men
asked if they could ‘ /tartar ./Inglaie.’ They stop-
ped and spoke broken English. ’I told them -we
were Indians, that did not think it any harm: to
ed one of their arms to fire on us, we would send
them to eternity, every man of them. One of
them said, take every thing we have ; we have
more at home, and only wish you to be civil to
ourpersons. The two men I had with me, stood
still, with their rifles cocked, and each had his
pistols at his side and a dagger. I took away the
arms from the travellers, who made no more re-'
sistance. On the pack horse we found 300 doul)-1
loons and 704 pieces of different sizes, and a
large quantity ofgold in bars, six inches in length
and eight square—-30 weight of it. ‘With the
owners I found 74 doubloons and five silver dol-
lars," and 400 French guineas and 67 pieces the
value of which I could not tell, tilll weighed
them. I got 12" or 13,000 dollars, altogether
from the company in‘ gold.
On the fifth day after this we reached our-cave
again. Shortly after this I left the cave, and on
my way met a man on horseback, with a rifle on
his shoulder. Ijoined company with him, and
he told me he had been to St. Louis to buy land.
In a few moments we came to a beautiful spring,
and dismounted to get a drink. He laid his ri-
lie against a tree. asked me to take some brandy
and water with him. \Vhilst he was stooping to
get some water from the spring, I seized liis rifle
from the tree, and told him Iwas a highway rob-
ber, and would take a drink of water with him.
after I had counted what money he had ; that I
never d_rank brandy or any kindof spirits, as I
always had spirits enough in me, without taking
brandy, and that if he did not instantly deliver to
me every cent he had, I would send him.Cw,lieve
he would get somethingvhotterithan brandy.
was very_ much alarmed, _and tl‘CtI‘l_l)lc(l worse
than Ido now under the gallows. He delivered
up all his money to me. I got from him 2700
dollars in gold and a small bag of silver, but as I
never wished to bring a man to poverty, I gave
him back the bag of silver and his watch.
\Ve went to Nashville, Ten. I bought a black
boy, and tsvgflmrses and a , gig, and after a few
days we _‘ started log Knoxville together. From
there we went,,t_o Lexington, Ken.and from there
to Louisvillefifi the falls of Ohio. Here I swap-
ped my two horsesrand gig. with_a gentleman
from Georgia, for a black boy and a gold repeat-
er, and my first black boy I sold to one of m
highwaymen for four ‘hundred and fifty ‘dollars.
My two robbers having sold their horses, we left
this place in a flat topped boat, and went down’
the Ohio to Natches, and from there to New-01%
leans. I A ‘ ’ -‘ V’
One" night'we lost so much moneyfatvthéi ga-

I set my black boy free in Nrzw.-Our;EANs, which
place we left, afterpurchasing three good hors-
es, and started for Baton Rogue. Here I got at
passport from Gov. Grandpree, and intended to
rob on the road between Baton Rogue and'Pen-
sacola, N
-VVe started from -Baton Rogue, to find a fit
place for our camp. I About eighty miles from
Pensacola, and near a track that‘led to the Gold

thought that two of . us should go to Pensacola to

"were away" nine ays. One who married there
then began to tell me of all the news he had heard
at the hotel in Pensacola, where he had put up at.
'_He said that he, lijadseen a‘ Spanish gentleman
‘there from old Spain, thpt was gding from Pensa-
cola io Baton Rouge in ten days, and thathe had

our arms, in pursuit ‘of them.‘ On the next-day
we came up to them. My Spanish talking man,
who had seen the old Spaniard in Pensa€ol_a, said
it was -the ijightcompany, for he knew the old
Spaniard by the “ cut of his jib.” I rode past
them to see what arms they "had, and saw as I
' I past them, there were five in company, and that
they had two pair of pistols. Itumed in the
"woodsto let them pass, and waited until my two
robbers came up. I had tied a handkerchief a-
bout my face, when I passed them, so that they
could not know me ; we all painted our faces red,
and having primcdour pieces, again started after
‘them. VVe came up to them, and passed them,
ten or fifteen paces, when we suddenly wheeled
round, "and presenting our rifles, told them we
were highway robbers, andthatif they made any
resistance, or offered to turn, until they had de-
livered up their money_to us, we would stop them
with powder and ball. I told them to dismount
from their horses, or we would fire and bring
them down. They hesitat_ecl at first, but seeing
us resolute, with our rifles cocked and presented
to them, ready to fire, they got down from their
horses. I then stepped up to them, with my
dagger in my hand, and took from them two pair
of pistols and three daggers; my two highway-
men stood off about 15 feet, with their rifles cock-
ed, a dagger in their hands, and each a pair of
pistols belted around them. I would not suffer
them to speak to each other whilst I was robbing
them, as I did not understand their lingo, and
was afraid of some scheme. \Ve got4O weight
of gold from this company of five, and $28 in
-silver. My share of this robbery amounted to
23:3 doubloons ($3,728.) '
VVe were forty miles from our care, and 120
from Pensacola. lt'was 4 o’clock in the after-
noon when we left them, and at 48 minutes past
seven we reached our cave, and found a large
grey wolf in it. He had been drawn there by
some fresh meat we had left in the care. He
sprang 17 feet down from the rock, but we put
two balls in him as he jumpt. We staid in our
cave six weeks before we went on the road again.

‘. DEBATE.
In the Convention, on the amendment ojirrd by
rw/zit/z was to revive the old law, directing‘ that
the Council .s-lmuld be selected from a nonzination
fzreviously made. , '
Mr. Stevens opposed the amendment,- on-the
ground, that by a nomination on this plan, the
freemen would be confined, as they had been, to
20 names; from which 12 must be selected.-
These names, he said, were generally placed on
the list by a few persons, who selected suclras
pleased them best. The frcemen were unac-
quainted with the characters of the candidates;
andvcould not obtain that information concerning
them, which was necessary to the making of a
proper choice.
lished, and the 20 proposed had been elected, they
were then called on at another election, to take
I2 from the list; thus incurring the expense of
two elections, when one would have answered e-
qually well. ‘ The section, as reported, would
give to the electors an opportunity of choosing,
not from 20, but the whole state. It would ena-
ble them to elect from their own neighborhoods,
with whom they were personally acquainted, or
from any other part of the county. By this nom-
ination, they might be obliged in some instances
to vote for Councillors, whom they did not know,
»,,\vl1o, perhaps, did not understand their inter-
est VVe can hazard nothing by electing with-
ered as money, we should save'much by it, in
avoiding an unnecessary waste of time, which
would be incurred in voting twice for the mem-
bers of the Upper House. For these reas_ons, he
could not support the amendment.
Mr. Trear.'=well observed, that a nomination
would be made out by the people, or bya few
men. The latter mode would serve to keep up
party animosities, while the former would present
a complete diagram of the state ; a full expres-
sion of the public will. We had long practised
on the plan which-he proposed. — The people had
been accustomed, in the first place, to elect men
to stand in nomination, and then to select l2 from
the .\.\-hole. number nominated. If they were not
acquainted with their characters, they had a suf-
ficient time to make the necessary inquiries ; and
might obtain the information which they wanted,
from friends and acquaintances, on whose words
they could-rely. It served as a test to ‘the char-
acters of the candidates, by bringing them before
thepeople, and exciting inquiry; And we have
experienced many benefits resulting from it.-—
To this we owe our present’ able delegation in
Congress, which had raised the reputation ofCon-
uecticut among her sister states, and was her
boast. From this source had resulted a state of
things which had rendered us happy at home, and
respected abroad. Ithad given rise to~a golden
age ;» and be hoped, that should it be abandoned,
nothing worse than a silver -age would succeed.

This compact then, has never been consideredof
any validity. It never was, the Constitution, of
the state of Connecticut. It was framed for the

Colony at New-Haven, possessing a distinct and

it. This charter was obtained without the knowl-

upon that Colony, by Hartford, the Governor and;
