Governor Trumbull, after having snubbed General Washington by sheltering and justifying the wholesale desertion of the Connecticut troops which the latter had denounced, (Compare General Washington's letter to Governor Trumbull, "Cambbibge, December 2, 1775," with the reply, "Lebanon, December "n, 1775 ; " that of the former, " Cambridge, December 5, 1775," with (hereply, "Lebanon, December 9, 1775" ;etc.,) waited until the following June, before he paid the slightest attention to the letter which the Provincial Congress had sent to him, in December, 1775, and then only to shelter, if not to justify, the offenders. (Jonn. Trumbull to the Honble. Nathl. WoodlmU, "Habtfobd, June 10, 1775.") Hinman, (Historical Collection of the part sustained by Connecticut during the War of the Revolution, 79, 80,) included that lawless raid among the notable and praiseworthy acts of Connecticut ; and the following, which is the latest specimen which has met our eye, presents, at once, the satisfaction with which respectable men, of our own day, in Connecticut, continue to regard that outrage, and the character of what is circulated, in Kew England, as veritable history: "Some time during the War, a paper was "published in the City of New York, by one, Rivington. This paper was " professedly and to all outward appearance devoted to the British in- " terests. It was afterwards, however, known to have aided the Amer- "icans much, and was under the control of Washington himself. The "hostile appearance of the sheet, however, deceived the Americans as "well as their enemies, and about half a dozen Greenwich men resolved that the press should be stopped; they stole into the City, destroyed the press, and bagged the type, which they brought off with "them from the very midst of a watchful enemy. Messrs. Andrew and " Peter Mead were the principal men of the expedition.
