the tribute of praise due to individual ir^rit will be
for ever secured, by the warmth of zeal with which all
ranks of people axe interested in behalf of the loyalifis,
whose misfortunes mutt the more pungently afflict them,
fioce they will have to reflect, that where they looked
for the rewards due to their fidelity, they met not only
with ingratitude, but comtempt and iufult, to which
they are palpably exposed, in being faintly recom
mended as objects of pity, to the very people whose
enmity they had provoked, by a fieady perseverance in
the paths of virtue and integrity, at the hazard of life,
and the txpence of all that renders life an object of
value or define.

Extratl of a lett r from a gentleman in Princeton to
his friend in Philadelphia, dated May iff.
" Since the rage of war has ceased, congratulations
have been heard from farm to farm ; illuminations and
good c? er have filled our towns, in an exad propor
tion to the fufferings of this little patriot Rate. Our
beloved gover ior, you know, has taken more than a
ihare in our fuffrings, and he has a double share of joy :
long may he live, and be happy. Your great city
seems silent ; from what can this arise? Can there be
any doubt of the peace ? If not, surely no better occa
sion ever offered tor rejoicing : our geat and magnani
mous commander has not disdained to rejoice; a bet
ter example, for any thing, cannot be found: 'his ex
tention of forefight, his Rrength and soundness of dif
cretior, have guided us, under Providence, over all
cur dangers, in a manner little short of inspiration.
Who can read his general orders of the rßth ult. with
out rejoicing—There he fays, “ On such a happy day,
a day which is the harbinger of peace, a day which
complects the eighth year of the war, it would bein
gratitude not to rejoice; it would be insensibility not
to participate in the general feliciy. The comman
der in chief, far from endeavouring to Rifle the feel
ings of joy in his own bosom, offers his most cordial
congratulations on the occasion, to all the officers of
every denomination ; to all the troops of the united
Bates in general, and in particular to those gallant
and persevering men, who have refolded to defend the
rights of their invaded country so long as the war
should continue."

Mr. CLAYPOOLE,
In your las lpaper was inserted, a letter taken from
the Political Magazine, for January lafl, and said
to be from Mr. Laurens, to a merchant in London.
This letter was firft published in the Morning Herald,
and is a forgery. As a proof of this I fend you the
very paper in which it was firft pubhfhed, wherein
you will fee, at the top of the page, in Mr. Laurens's
own hand writing, that he disowns the letter, and de
clares it to be forged, to which he adds this reflexion ;
" 'tis the Morning Herald, who doth whatsoever to
" himfelf k(meth wicked.''
COMMON SENSE.
From the London Courant, of November 27, 1782,
To the Editor of the LONDON COURANT.
SIR,
Having this inflant read a pretended letter from Mr.
Laurens, published in the Morning Herald of this day,
upon the fobjffl of the American war, I think it my
duty to undeceive the public, as Mr. Laurens is not
here to doit himfelf. lam not Mr. Laurens's secre
tary, but I have the honour to be his friend, and in
that charader I havea fufficient knowledge of his o
pinions to pronounce that he never did, and never
could write a letter so contradictory to all his senti
ments and feelings upon the fubjed. I beg that you
will inflantly publish this in my name, and add, that
the publication alluded to in the Morning Herald, is
an impudent lie and a deliberate forgery.
I am, SI R,
Your very humble servant,
, THOMAS DAY.
