Boston, Monday March 14. On Monday evening the horrid
tragedy of the 5th of March was observed with the usual
solemnity, by exhibiting to public view a portrait of that
inhuman and cruel massacre prepetrated by Preston, and his
infamous butchers: On the right, a figure of America
pointing to her slaughtered sons, on the left a monument to
the memory of Gray, Attucks Maverick, Caldwell and Carr. In
one of the windows was a representation of H----n and J---s
O----r, in the horrors, occasioned by the appearance of the
two ghosts of Empson and Dudley, advising them to think of
their fate. They appeared to be worshipping their
ill-gotten gold, the modern deity of the north.
Ye traitors! Is there not some chosen cause,
Some hidden thunder in the stores of heaven,
Red with uncommon wrath, to blast the men
Who owe their greatness to their country's ruin!
