"A letter from _Albany_, says, 'All the _Generals_ from _Canada_ are extremely mortified and crest-fallen. The boys at _Buffalo_ form themselves into groups, and sing the following altered stanza of _Yankee Doodle_:'-- "'_When_ SMYTHE _a_ Brag_adier had got, He prov'd a darned coward-- He durst not go to_ Canada _For fear of being devoured. _Yankee doodle, doodle do-- Yankee doodle dandy-- Mind the_ back _step of the march-- And with your_ legs _be handy_.'" [26] _Salem Gazette_, May 3, 1814 (p. 2-4). In the _Salem Gazette_ of November 25, 1813, appeared a paragraph headed "Braggardism! _Wilkinson's Glorious Expedition to Canada!_" (p. 2-2). The unsuccessful expedition into Canada gave rise to an epigram printed in the _Columbian Centinel_ of December 11, 1813: "_Gen._ WILKINSON'S _late Expedition_. WITH Conquest how his bosom burn'd!-- He _went_--he _saw_--and then--_return'd_." [27] "Some of the _Wildcats_ of Congress," said the _Columbian Centinel_ of June 6, 1812, "have gone home, unable to incur the awful responsibility of unnecessary _War_" (p. 2-5). [28] _Columbian Centinel_, October 23, 1813, p. 2-1; June 29, 1814, p. 2-3. [29] _Columbian Centinel_, June 18, 1814, p. 2-3. [30] _Columbian Centinel_, June 11, 1814, p. 2-4. [31] _Columbian Centinel_, September 1, 1813, p. 2-1. [32] Quoted in the supplement to the _Albany Gazette_ of November 19, 1812 (p. 1-1). The term was sometimes used attributively. Thus we hear of "the War-Hawk Government" (_Columbian Centinel_, September 28, 1814, p. 1-2); of "the war-hawk party" (_Portsmouth Oracle_, January 28, 1815, p. 3-2); of "the War-Hawk rulers" (_Columbian Centinel_, September 28, 1814, p. 1-2); and of "our War-Hawk Selectmen" (_Connecticut Courant_, August 16, 1814, p. 1-5). [33] In a speech on the admission of the Territory of Orleans, delivered in Congress on January 14, 1811, Josiah Quincy declared it as his "deliberate opinion that, if this bill passes, ... it will be the duty of some" of the States "to prepare definitely for a separation--amicably, if they can; violently, if they must" (Speeches, 1874, p. 196). While this remark has become historic, it is almost invariably misquoted. In a speech made in Congress on January 8, 1813, Henry Clay, referring to Quincy, said: "The gentleman can not have forgotten his own sentiments, uttered even on the floor of this House, 'peaceably if we can, forcibly if we must'" (Works, 1897, V, 58). It is the Clay version that has become a familiar quotation. In the _Boston Herald_ of November 23, 1904, appeared the following: "In a signed article in the Huntsville, Ala., _Mercury_, R. T. Bentley, a well-known man, says:
