dangerous to put any more power into their
hands. Confider ho// long they will be content
with 4d. per day ; lam afraid not long. You
have had one meeting already, you may soon have
another; the people of America will receive
these regulations as edicts from an arbitrary
government. The heavieil offence they have
been guilty of, is that they have refilled that law
which bears inch an arbitrary caff. 1 want to
know if we, in this country, had not refilled
such arbitrary laws in certain ancient times,
\hether we fliould have existed as a House of
Commons here this day ? I obje& much againfi
the doctrine which i have heard laid down, that
the particular exigency of the case countenanced
the measure. I do not apprehend the Ameri
cans will abandon their principles ; for if they
submit they are saves : 1 therefore execrate the
prefect meafurc in manner proposed.
lUr Fut.er. 1 will now take my Have of the
whole plan, and will give you my free opinion
of it. You will commence your ruin from this
day, if you do not repeal that tax which created
all this disturbance ; you will have no degree of
confidence with the Americans ; people will not
trust you when your credit is gone: You may,
I fay, d te your ruin from this day ; and I am
sorry to fay, that not only this House has fallen
into that error, but that the people of this coun
try approve of the measure. I find the people
wish for the measures proposed in this bill, as
much as the majority here ; it is net all owing
to the Junto of a Minidry that these measures
are taken, It is the people at large, whom lam
sorry to fay are milled; they are in an error, but
a ffiort time will prove the evil tendency of this
bill: 1 think this bill before us bears the lead
injury of any of the three ; but if there ever was
a nation running headlong to its rum, it is this.
