“ I have a thousand reasons to wish that yous
opposition may be an early one, as-wed as vigorous
—the day of grace is new—it will be loon over."
PHILADELPH I A, 09. 3.
Extrari of a letter from a Gentleman in Bristol to his
friend in this city, dated ,uly 20, 1774.
" Surrounded as I am by a thouland various bu
sinesses, still I cannot refill the strong inclination I
feel to tell you that I am alive and well once more
in old England; formerly I loved the country and
people, but now both appear odious to me ; their
conduft towards the the America is is horrid, cruel
and detestable; they call ye all thieves, pirates and
rebels, for which in return I make no scruple to
call them knaves, scoundrels, and spiritless slaves.
Every day am I in the most furious quarrels in
vindication of America, that ever you saw—l wish
to God that you had a few more friends in this
city—l shall, through my zealous attachment lose
or endanger my election ; but no matter ; they al
ready cry, no American —no Bill of Rights man.
My acquaintance tell me I am too warm; but do
you tell me, my friend, who that is made up of
American flefh and blood can fit calm and com
posed to hear his native country, with his dearest
connexions calumniated, belied and reprobated.
No, by Heaven and Earth, I swear! I never will
silently put up with such ill-usage while 1 have
breath to speak, or hands to fight.
“ l am just returned from London : It is with
a degree of pleasure, I can assure you, many of the
great men are ashamed of what they have done,
seriously dreading the associations and refentmeot
of the Virginians in particular : the revenue aris
ing from the duties on tobacco is mortgaged, and a
flop to their exportations would make a glorious con
fufion among their High MightinefTes.
" When I left America, I recommended mode
ration; but with concern I find, that condud will
not do—Resentment must shew itfelf, for our
Ministers wish themselves well out of it. Firmness
on the part of the Americans will insure them the
viAory, now is the criss, the important crisis, of
your whole lives—you can lose nothing by a patri
otic stand—you may gain every thing.
" The people of this country are funk in lux
ury, and wifi)only to get their hands into the
purse of Americans to support them in it—They
are totally indifferent about Liberty, and loft to
every sense of honour or virtue; open corruption
is connived at and approved; oppreflion, black as
Hell, darkens the annals of the present times ; and
Britons seem happy in their fupinc fully and base
vassalage.
Extras ofa letter from Charlefown, South-Carolina,
September 19.
" If once the Americans submit, I forefee a
train of evils ready to light upon them: Taxes,
impositions and oppressions, without moderation
or end. Now is the appointed time to struggle
like men for your dear inheritance ; and there can
be no doubt but Providence, and a new Parlia-
ment, will do you ample justice. I will weary
Heaven with my prayers for your success.—My
sincere good wishes attend you, and all the rest of
my worthy countrymen in Philadelphia."
“ What are you doing with Tea in your city ?
The ladies of the best families in this place have
signed an agreement to disuse it after the firft of
next November.—l hope your ladies will follow
their example."
We are informed from good authority that the
King sent a message to the Bishop of London the
day after he refufed to vote for the Popish Que
bec bill, difeharging him from all future services
at the Privy-Council.
We hear a number of gentlemen in Fairfax
county, Virginia, being alarmed in this time of
extreme danger with the Indian enemy in their
own country, and threatned with the deftruftion
of their civil rights and liberties, and all that is
dear to Britifli fubje&s and freemen, are deter
mined to use their utmost endeavours to make
themselves masters of the military exercise, and to
hold themselves in readiness in case of necessity;
hostile invasion or real danger of the community,
of which they are members, to defend to the ut
most of their power, the legal prerogatives of our
Sovereign King George the third, and the just
rights and privileges of their country, their poste
rity, and themselves, upon the principles of the
British constitution.
We are informed by a Gentleman from Win
chester in Virginia, that the inhabitants have en
tered into associations to discountenance all but
chers or other persons who shall presume to kill
or offer for file a sheep of any fort after the 20th
of lad month.
The public are cautioned to beware of counter
