burning of this eGgy, was exclusively the
work of a few boys. With suit of old
clothes stuffed with straw, and suspended
to pole. they paraded the streets, to the
air of the sRogues March, until their de-
sire for fan was satisfied, when they de-
molished the old man, and each one re-
paired to his separate home. Now we
did not know that this was Capt. Biddle,
who was receiving such honours from our
boys, until put in possession OF this in
formation by the paragraph alluded to IN
the Freeman's Journal, coming by the way
of Baltimore. We would not wish the
Editor to suppose that the people of Will
mington,' admire these doings, however
innocent they are in their nature; they
condemn all such conduct, either in boys


or men, in towns or cities, whether it be


an ef1igy or a vaur-hall, or whether the


feelings of the party are excited by impu-


dence or imposition. Now if shame and


|. disgrace are to be cast upon the people


of Wilmington for the offence Of few


mischievous youths, how will he palllat'


the conduct Of the people Of Philadelphia
lin late occurrence.
