THESE machines are used with great success in

smoothing of table linen, bed furniture, silk, cot

full as well as when firft out of the (hop, and do not
damage the linen by burning or staining one tenth
part as much as the usual method of ironing ; and
a woman may do as much in one hour with this

To /^lnhabitants of the BRITISH
COLONIES in AMERICA.
Brethren,
THESE are the words of the declaratory aft
mentioned in the last letter. “ Whereas
several of the Houses of Representatives in his
Majesty's colonies and plantations in America have
of late, against Law, claimed to themfelvts,
or to the General Assemblies of the fame, the
sole and exclusive right of imposing duties
&id taxes upon his Majesty's Subjects IN THE
said Colonies and Plantations ; and have
in pursuance of such claim, passed certain votes,
FRANCIS DAYM ON,
D UNL A P's
vjo^w^^
The resolutions, &c. mentioned in this ad, were
those carried bv the Stamp-Ad. These principal
points are firmly averted in them — the exclufrce
right of taxation and the right of trial by jury. The
Parliament well knowing how harsh and jarring it
would found in English ears, to fay, the right of
trial by jury, was “ derogatory to the legislative
authority of Parliament, and inconsistent iw'M
the dependency of the colonies, planted their molt
dired battery against the right of taxation—Com
mon sense and the experience of all nations, as
NOT A SINGLE INSTANCE OCCURS TO THE
contrary, convincing them, if that gave way,
a general ruin would soon ensue, and all the rest
would followin the train of the chief, like captive
Nobles attending their conquered Prince.
However, not quite fatisfied with the flow work
of exterminating them in detail, but improving
upon an imperial hint, it was judged fitteft upon
the whole so to consolidate them, that, as if the
Britifo Americans had but “ one neck," a fngle
froke might dispatch millions—by fubjeding us
at once to the decrees of Parliament, in all
cases whatsoever.
Widely different was the ad ofthe 6th ofGcorge
the firft, chap. sth, " for the better fecufing the
dependency ofthe kingdom of I-eland, &c." By
that ad Ireland was declared " to be subordinate
unto, and dependent upon the imperial Crown * of
Great-Britain." These words " and Parliament"
are not it. It is said, indeed, that “ the King, with
the advice and consent of the Lords and Commons
of Greet - Britain, in Parliament aflembled, had,
and- of right ought to have power and authority
to make laws and statutes, of fufficient force and
validity, to bind the kingdom and people of Ireland."
Compare the ad, and you will find the ad for
America copied from that of Ireland: But in the
last mentioned, the annihilating words—" in all
cases whatsoever" are not to be found. The
people of Ireland have been for several centuries
bound by English statutes fur regulating their trade
and for other purposes, and this statute, therefore,
only averted the usual authority over them.
Their vitals, the exclulive tight of taxation, and
the right of trial by jury, have been preserved.
If it was the intention of the Britife Parliament to
exercise a “ power and authority" over that king
dom, deftrudive of these rights, it is not expressed
—it is not implied. Why were the unlimited
words omitted in that ad? Or, why when the
Lords and Commons were copying a pattern, which
theit fathers set them, did they deform the tran
fet^pt bv such eastern flourifhes?
The truth is— he fathers too much revered the
English principles, for which they had been upon
the point of ffiedding their blood, in placing their
Sovereign on his throne, so flagrantly to violate
them—or, if their condud was not directed by
justice, they dared not thus to provoke the brave,
generous inhabitants of that antient kingdom.
" Are there let the treasures of wickedness in the
" bonfe, and the scant weafare that is abominable.

SIR,
THE declaratory aft, passed by the Parlia
ment, at the time they repealed the Stamp
A&, was fitch a violation of the constitution, such
an aiTumption of new powers, so subversive of li
berty, and so defttuNive of property, that it de
serves particular observation. That it has hitherto
passed unnoticed, is owing to the gratitude and joy
with which America received the repeal of the
Stamp Aft. For the fame reason, the principle,
* " A tax granted by the parliament of England
fall not bind those of Ireland, because th, are not
fummonid:o our Parliament;' and again “ Ireland

on which the repeal was founded, was fuffered to
pass without animadversion; and the people, who
claimed the repeal, as a point of equity and right,
received it with gratitude as a free gif.
The English conflituticn, whole object is liber
ty, has, for the preferring that liberty, and for
the security of propertv, veiled peculiar powers
in the different branches of the legislature, which
are to be exercised for the good and Safety of the
fubjeft. Salus Populi fuprema lex est. Ihe
abuse of these powers, or the attempt of ore
branch of the legislature to extend its' peculiar
powers, so as to abridge those of the others, has
been the foundation of many civil wars and Shrug
gles in Britain.
From the earliest period of the English consti
tution, it has ever been deemed the prerogative of
the Crown to grant charters to the fubjeds and
terms of capitulation to conquered countries, who
were taken under the dominion of the crown.
And the Statute of quo warranto 18th cf Edw. r.
exprefly declares, that “ illi qui babent chartas
regales, fecundum chartas iftas et earundem ple
nitudinem judicentur." On which flatute Lord
Coke observes, “ in the firft place, that as it was
enabled, ex fpeciali gratia domini regis, " it binds
the King," and cotfauently in binding the King,
mus also bind his Parliament; in the second place,
from the words earundem plenitudinem, that this
statute is to be construed " as fully and benefici
ally for the charters, as the law was taken at the
time when the charters were granted." In the
third place, fays he, " certainly this ancient sta
tute was a direction to the sages of the law, for
their construction of the King's charters, as it
appeareth in our books." —
On this foundation rests the declaratory aft r>
fpefting Ireland. When Henry the 2d conquered
Ireland, be granted the Irish peace and annexed
them to his Crown on this condition, “ That the
kingdom and people of Ireland Should for ever be
governed by the fame mild laies as England was
governed." And the statute passed in the 31 Ed
ward 3d. confirms and renews this charter by de
claring, that his Majesty's fubje^s in Ireland,
being either natives of that kingd m, or English.
born fubje&s only resident there, “ fint veri Anglici,
et sub eifdem degant domino et regimine, et eifdem
legibus utantur." And hence the aft of the 6th
G. 1. chap. 6, afTumes no ne-.v power, lays no
ne^jo restrictions upon his Majesty's good fuSjeCfa
of Ireland, nor claims any ne°n right, but Simply
declares “ that the King's Majesty, by and with
the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and
Temporal and Commons of Great-Briiain in Par
liament assembled, hath full go^er and authority
to make laws of fufficient force and validity to bind
the kingdom and people of Ireland.
Here is no charter violated, no claim of power
to deprive them of property or levy taxes on them
without their consent. Their Parliament, their
right of trial by jury, and of granting supplies to
their King in their own way for the support of
government, administration ofjuftice, and defence
of the kingdom, remain untouched. But the de
claiatory aft paSTed against America 5 of G. 3, in
violation of their charters, declares, that the
claim of the Houses of Representatives in his
Majesty's colonies and plantations in America to
the sole and exclusive Right of imposing
duties and taxes upon his Majesty's fubjeCls in the
said colonics and plantations is against Law,
that the votes, resolutions and orders paired in
pursuance of such claim are deroga lor yto the
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY OF PARLIAMENT;
that the said colonies and plantations in izr^/cwhaie
been, are and of right ought to be fihordi
nate unto and dependent upon the imperial Cicwri
and Parliament of Great-B: iiain, and that the
King's Majesty by and with the advice, See. hath
and of right ought to have full power and
authority to make laws and statutes of fuffici-rt
force and validity to bi nd the colonies and peope
of America, fubjedls of the Crown of Gre..,.Britain ,
IN ALL CASES WHATSOEVER. Win:
is this but with the high hand of power to bre;
down tire barriers of the conflituticn and make w?
tenants at mill of our lives, liberty and property. —
There was a time when the Crown held lines
in England, " sacra patrimonia coronas," the an
nual rent of which, if now resumed, would amou:
to near four millions sterling. These have Bert
conveyed to fubjefls and are new held by virtue
of charters from the Crown, If the chance re
gales or chartered rights of the colonies can Ie
violated and annulled by Parliament, what secu
rity can the poffeflbrs of those lands have for the
elates they enjoy? Let the Parliarn t try the ex
periment on their fellow fubje&s in Great-Bn.am,
and judge of the temper and disposition of the
colonies, by the effect luch a sup will produce
among themselves.
