10 ARBITRARY ARRESTS. But they existed all over the country ; and there were many in Queen's County, Long Island. Now, in Jan- uary, 1776, this George Washington, then general-in- chief of our forces, took very outrageous, if not unpre- cedented, measures against these people, who were then most wrongfully styled tories and traitors. For they only held certain " political opinions, " and even more than you and Clement L. Vallandigham, were they guiltless of any offence whatever. For they did no...t actively and openly oppose the war. They were only " suspected -of designs unfriendly to the views of the Congress. " The evidence of this was not what they did, or even what they said, but (Hear and avenge it, spirit of outraged Liberty!) what they did not do. They refused to elect members to the Provincial Con- vention ! So, thereupon, this George Washington, and this convention or congress, in which were Jefferson, and Hamilton, and Franklin, and Adams, and Hancock, and King, and Wolcott, and Livingston, and Morris, and Carroll, and Henry, and Randolph, and Pinckney, and Putledge, determined, independently of each other, to send a military force into Long Island.
