During the Federalist-Republican struggles of the 1790s the '' Rogue 's March '' was used as rough music to harass Federalist congressmen . Fifers and drummers played it under Thomas Jefferson 's windows at a time when he was deeply unpopular . When vice-president Aaron Burr was acquitted of treason in 1807 , a Baltimore mob hanged him ( together with presiding Chief Justice Marshall ) in effigy while a band played the '' Rogue 's March '' . At the 1868 Republican National Convention a brass band played '' Hail to the Chief '' for candidate Ulysses S. Grant but the '' Rogue 's March '' for the " seven traitors " ( the Republican senators who voted against the impeachment of Andrew Johnson )
