Asa Rogers (search for this): article 1
he leader of a mob which destroys a printing office, or the President or General who silences free speech by a squad of soldiers, "is the rhetorical, phrase polishing demagogue, who, safe in his study, without personal risk or official responsibility, prostitutes his talents to the overthrow of public freedom and the corruption of a people who look up to him as a patriot and a counsellor." Of the authenticity of this letter there can be no doubt. The copy before us is certified by Gen. Asa Rogers, Presiding Justice of Loudoun county: [Copy.] Camp at Cambridge, Aug. 29th, 1775. Dear Sir: Your favor of the first inst., by Mr. Randolph, came safe to hand — the merits of this young gentleman, added to your recommendation and my own knowledge of his character, induced me to take him into my family as an Aide-de-camp, in the room of Major Mifflin, who I have appointed Quartermaster General, from a thorough persuasion of his integrity, my own experience of his activity, and

Washington's opinion of "These People" of Massachusetts, &c. We are indebted to Capt. Arthur Lee Rogers, who commanded the Loudoun Artillery in the battle of Manassas, for the following unpublished letter from General Washington to Richard Henry Lee. This letter has been preserved in the Lee. family, who, though applied to by Banoroft, Irving and others for a copy for publication, have hitherto refused it, on the ground that it would be improper to give to the world a private letter from the Father of his Country reflecting upon any portion of it while the old Union endured. But now that "these people" have trampled the Constitution under foot, destroyed the Government of our fathers, and invaded and desolated Washington's own county in Virginia, there can be no impropriety in showing his private opinion of the Massachusetts Yankees.

Interest made him the supple tool of the vulgar despot of the North, and forced him to repudiate all his fine praise of the principles of the Revolution and the American Constitution.
