John in early times, and for a while commanded the military post at Presquile. After the articles of peace had been signed, no serious effort was made to restrain the non-commissioned officers and men of the Loyalist regiments from taking "French leave," and a good many of them left the service without the formality of a discharge.
Having adopted the measure of the late Conservative Government, we are proceeding to reappoint their own Commissioners; and, not content with that, we are furnishing them with instructions which place upon the Act the most restricted and loyalist construction of which the terms are susceptible. Truly, if ever rebellion stood upon a rickety pretence, it is the Canadian Tory Rebellion of 1849.
"I doubt not that Gulian, my brother-in-law, has fine qualities, else Clarissa had not been so fond of him as to leave us all and go so far from us. But I trust that even Gulian may not see fit to talk loyalist to me; my naughty tongue would get me into trouble straightway." "You must learn to control your tongue, Betty," said Moppet primly, with a roguish twinkle of her eyes upward.
"Or ride out on the llanos in the direction of Tres Cruces. If we don't meet Mejia and his people we may hear something of them." "I am for the llanos." "Very well. We will go thither. But we shall have to be very circumspect. There are loyalist as well as patriot guerillas roaming about.

They plundered Martha's Vineyard, burned some lesser towns, such as New Bedford, and showed no quarter to small parties of American troops whom they managed to intercept. What happened on the coast happened also in the interior.
They fled down the hill-side, and being sinewy, nimble men, swift of foot, they were not overtaken, save a few of sullen temper, who would not retreat and were bayoneted. One of their officers, a tall backwoodsman, six feet in height, was cut down by Lieutenant Allaire, a New York loyalist, as the latter rode at the head of his platoon.
His noble bearing and grace of manner might easily permit him to pass as a Loyalist, that is, an American who sympathized with England there were many such in the British camp and Washington accepted him for the mission. He dressed himself like a schoolmaster, so that the British would not suspect that he was an American soldier.
He was a hot-headed, active loyalist, and commissioner of His Majesty's customs, as well as mandamus councilor, which facts made him obnoxious to the public, and in 1775, during the siege of Boston, he found it wise hastily to vacate his house and seek refuge in the city.
