ADVERTISER.'
NOVEMBER 14th, !774.
When the fortune of war, after a gallant and
glorious refinance, had incorporated you with the
body of English fubjeCts, we rejoiced in the tru
ly valuable addition, both on our own and vour
account; expecting, as courage and generosity
are naturally united, our brave enemies would
become our hearty friends, and that the Divine
Being would bless to you the dispensations of his
over-ruling providence, by securing to you and
your latest posterity the inestimable advantages of
a free Eoglifh constitution of government, which it
is the privilege of all English fubjedts to enjoy.
These hopes were confirmed by the King's pro
clamation, issued in the year 1763, plighting the
public faith for your full enjoyment of those advan
tages.
Little did we imagine that any succeeding mi
nisters would so audaciously and cruelly abuse the
royal authority, as to withhold from you the fru
ition of the irrevocable rights to which yod were
thus justly entitled.
But since we have lived to fee the unexpected
time, when ministers of this flagitious temper have
dared to violate the most sacred compacts and ob
ligations, and as you educated under another form
of, government, have artfully been kept from dis
covering the unfpeakabYe worth of that form you
are now undoubtedly entitled to, we esteem it
our duty, for the weighty reasons herein after
mentioned, to explain to you some of its most im
portant branches.
" In every human fociety,' 'fays the celebra
ted Marquis Beccaria, “ there is an effort conti
nually tending to confer on one part the height of
power and happiness, and to reduce the other to
the extream of weakness and misery. The inten
of good laws is to oppose this effort, and to dif
fufe their influence universally and equally.
Rulers stimulated by this pernicious “ effort,"
and fubjeCls, animated by the jpft “ intent of op
posing good laws against it," have occasioned that
vast variety of events, that fill the histories of so
many nations. All these histories demonstrate the
truth of this simple portion, that to live by the
will of one man, or let of men, is the production
of misery to all men.
On the solid foundation of this principle, Fng
lifhmen reared up the fabric of ffieir constitution
with such a strength, as for ages to defy time, ty
ranny, treachery, internal and foreigp wars; and
as an illustrious author* of your nation, hereafter
mentioned, observes, " They gave the people of
their colonies the form of their own government,
and this government carrying prosperity along
with it, they have grown great nations in the fo
refts they were lent to inhabit."
Friends and Fellow Subjeft s ,
WE, the Delegates of the colonies of New
Hampshire, Massachusetts-Bay, Rhode-
Island and Providence plantations, Connecticut,
New-York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, the coun
ties of New-Castle, Kent and Sussex ID Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, North-Carolina, and South-
Carolina, deputed by the inhabitants of the laid
colonics, to represent them in a general Congress
at Philadelphia in the province of Pennsylvania,
to confuh together concerning the best methods
to obtain redref sos our afflicting grievances, hav
ing accordingly afTembled, and taken into our most
serious confederation the state of public affairs on
this continent, have thought proper to address
your province, as a member therein deeply inte
reffed.
In this form the firft grand right is, that of the
people having a fharein their own government, by
their representatives, chosen by themselves, and
in consequence of being ruled by laws which they
themselves approve, not by edicts of men over
whom they have no controul. This is a bulwark
surrounding and defending their property, which
by their honest cares and labours they have ac
quired, so that ne portions ofit can legally be ta
ken from them, but with, their own full and fre>
consent, when they in their judgment deem it just
and necessary to give them for public services,
and precisely direct the ealieft, cheapest, and most
equal methods, in which they shall be collected.
The influence of this right extends still farther.
If money is wanted by rulers who have in any
manner oppressed the people, they may retain it,
until their grievances are redressed ; and thus
peaceably procure relief, without trusting to de
spised petitions, or diftarbing the public tranqui
lity.
The next great right is that of trial by jury.
This provides, that neither life, liberty nor pro
perty can be taken from the possessor, until twelve
of his unexceptionable countrymen and peers, of
his vicinage, who from that neighbourhood may
reasonably be supposed to be acquainted with hit
character, and the characters of the witnesses, up
on a fair trial, and full enquiry, face to face, io
