A SEASONABLE THOUGHT.
A CORRESPONDENT begs leave to re
mind the good people of America that in the be
ginning of the present war with Great- Britain, it was
expected bythe true whips that we Should be beaten in
two or three of our firft battles by the Bririfh troops,
and that we should loose all our ci ies cm thefea coast
during the war. Two y^ars have elapsed since the glo
rious 19 h of April.—We have gained ,zr reviaories than
we have loft, and the enemy areable to occupy only t^vo
out of near a hundred of our sea port towns, and not
more than twenty square miles of the immense territo
ries of the United States. If it has required t^o years
and MfrfytbowCnd British arid German troops, to effect
such trifling advantages over u<, what time and what
number of men will it require to fubduethe whole Con
tinent ! —But the idea is impossible. Lit us tax —ba-
nifh —confine —-or hang the terries among us, according
to the degrees of their guilt, and the confederated pow
ers of all Europe cannot lubdue us. America can ne
ver be conquered till she defponds, or till the hearts of
the whigs are conquered. If there was lot an ounce of
gunpowder or a Angle musket on the Continent, Great-
Britain could rot conquer America while a majority of
its inhabitants are willing and determined to be free.
