Pressezitat
July 27, 1798The atmosphere was politically charged as the presidential carriage turned onto lower Broad Street in Newark. Into this scene wandered 46-year-old Luther Baldwin. Already feeling a little merry” after a morning of drinking, Baldwin and his two drinking companions had little interest in the parade. Baldwin was not an admirer of the president, or of any Federalist, for that matter. What the three men wanted was another drink. Just as they approached John Burnet’s dram shop on Broad Street, the Adams supporters let loose their artillery—filled with harmless wadding but loud enough to let everyone know that the president’s carriage had arrived. Church bells rang and a chorus sang out, Behold the Chief who now commands!”
An onlooker cracked, They are firing at his arse.”
Baldwin replied, I don’t care if they fire through his arse.”
Burnet had stepped outside to see Adams’s carriage and overheard the exchange. Clearly, news of the president’s newly minted Sedition Act had arrived in advance of the president himself. For John Burnet turned to Luther Baldwin and uttered three fateful words:
That is sedition.”
