October 9, 1810,
It was in the year aforementioned (1765)
that the obnoxious stamp-act qras pasted,
under the administration of Lord Grenville.
The object of this act was, to draw a reve
nue from the colonies without their consent.
It deeply infringed their charter rights;
and occasioned such a general burst of in
dignation, that the Parliament repealed it
in Irm than a twelvemonth from the time
it had been passed. But, with equal im
policy and iryustice, they accompanied the
repeal with a declaratory act, which claim
ed it as their right to make laws binding
upon the colonies in ail cases whatsoever-
Although thia act, for several years there
after, remained dormant or inoperative,
yet it kept the publick mind in constant ir
ritation. Indeed many at the time thought it
a mere boast, or a salvo to the wounded hon
our of Parliament, which had repealed the
stamp-act, as it were on compulsion. They
considered it as a rod hung over their
heads to awe them, hardly expecting,
however, that the rod would be actually
used, soon, if ever. Bnt though this was al
prevailing sentiment, it gave no degree of
satisfaction. Discontents were general;
ths publick pules beat quick and feverish.

WAR SONG. ’
BT JOHANNES IN ERBMQ.
O’aa the wood cover’d hills, and rich value of
the West,
When the sound of the tocsin has roll’d ;
Our youth rise in armour, for Liberty press’d,
’Tis a beautiful scene to behold.
The East and the North throng the hillock,
like ants,
When serpents intrude <m their bed;
In the teeth of tlie mighty, attack in advance,
And pierce till the reptiles ans dead.
The South and the West, like the hornet and
bee,
Whom locusts presume to annoy ;
Attack the invaders of Liberty’s Tree,
Chastise, and repulse, and destroy.
Bold hunters, like falcons, descend from the
lake,
As swift as an arrow can go ;
Sharp shooters, unerring, for liberty's sake,
That level whole ranks at a blow!
Our Eagle of Union, sedate in his wrath,
Prepares the red darts in his thong;
To penetrate vultures that menace his path,
And smite the vindictive and strong.
Who would not brave danger this land to se
cure,
So free, independent and bless’d;
Where well employ’d talents and virtue en.
sure
Fame, property, safety and rest.
Rich, rich are the products that millions le
gale,
Farm, fishery—forest and bowers j
But little, all little, would riches avail,
If nothing but riches were ours. •
Enhancing this treasure that order controls,
Worth China, Peru and Japan—
Our country’s best opulence centres in Souls,
Her noblest production is— Man.
•A.S nothing has beep mqce common of late
among those of our fellow-countrymen who
are patriots by profession, than proud boast
ings and vapourings about the spirit of ’76,
it may be of some use to give, in briefest
terms, a true historical description of old
times; and to contrast the spirit of the
high-mettled authours of the American re
volution, with what is manifestly the tem
per of a large part of our nation, as well as
its rulers, at the present day.
Previously to theyear 1765, the British
colonies in North-America, (those of New-
England particularly,) were quite content
ed with their political condition. Forthough,
as colonies they wqrq tfepqndcnt upon Eng
land, which they used to pall their mother
country, this depeadeqee en their part had
been, as they then thought, fully counter
vailed by protection on ' hers. They had
their charter rights ; among the ifiost im
portant of which, was the right of choosing
their own lawgivers, and that of bqing gov
erned exclusively by laws made by their
own legislatures. These rights they con
sidered as an invaluable treasure, holding
them by for more dear than silver and
gold; as dear as life itself. Their habits,
their thqir practices, as well as
their principles, were of the republican
cast. Their popular elections were fre
quent, free and unbiassed. Any rich man,
in those days, vyho should have presumed to
dictate to his poorer neighbour how to vote
would have found his insolence requited
with scorn.
From tre Connecticut Courant.
“ Your Fathers where are they ?"
JBiAtellanp.
Foetrp.
Those old fashion men were of stomachs
too proud to bear with any patience, even
a claim upon their rights, had they known
that the claim would never be put in force.
Men of tamer spirits would have been at
their ease till the lash were actually felt:
but so were not they.
At length the Parliament attempted to.
put theory into practice. Small duties
were laid on tea, painters’ colours, and a
few other articles; and the revenue from
those duties were ordered to*be collected
in the colonies, by officers of hia Bf Hasmiok
Majesty’s appointment. Th«
ment, raised by this flagrant vtetatfas qf
rights, waj beyond description.
Those only a complete idea of it,
who actually were eye and ear witnqses,
Three things, at that lime, were particu
larly noticeable.
L The people manfully contendefl for
Principle; of which they set med never,
for a moment, to lose sight. Some few
were for paring things down to the mea
sure of present convenience. They pror
posed expedients, which always are tliq
resources of the weak. They reasoned
thus“ If resistance should be even suc
cessful, it were infinitely cheaper to pay
the duties than resist. The contest may
be longhand cost the country much money
and much blood. And all thjs for a inera
trifle; a three penny duty a pound on tea.
Let us pay the duty ; for ’tis so small wc
should hardly feel replied the
people, (for at that time hur country was
geopled by men not disposed to try ?uch a
question on a money scale,) “ No,” a*id
they generally, “ Taxation und representa
tion are inseparable. We are taxed by a
legislature in which we are not represent
ed, and to pay such a tax would be virtual
ly acknowledging ourselves slaves. We
know it is but of trifling amount, hut we
will not pay it; nor would we pay it were
it a single farthing only. It is principle we
contend for, a principle on which our civil
rights are all bottomed; and our resolu
tion is fixed that we will never yield it up,
but with pur lives. It is not with us a
question how much money will our free
dom cost us, but we are determined ta
have it at any price, whether of treasure
or blood.”
2. As the people contended for !<rinci(ile,
so every thing else that stood in competi
tion with it, they pu( at defiance. Some
few, (part of thejp unquestionably from .
honest motives,) dye I 4 red it folly and mad
ness, in our state <>j c«anparative weakness,
to rise up in rebellious opposition to an act
of the British Parliament. They argued
thus:—“ Right is on our side, but we
destitute of the necessaiy means for
eating it. The quarrel is between the
lamb and the wolf; and how much soever
the former may have the better of the ar
gument, the latter is sure |o get the case.
The colonies ere weak and defenceless,,
without regular troops, without arms
ammunition, without funds. On the otheKK
hand, Great-Britain is mighty. She can/
lay in ashes all the towns on our ektensivo
sea coasts. She cgn ravage our country
with her armies. Her resources for way
are inexhaustible. Inevitably we must sub
mit to her at last; and fare worse than we
should by submission now." This reason
ing, though plausible, the people repelled,
with indignation. “ What ?" replied they,
“ sha|l we tamely give up our rights, for
fear they will be w ,e sted from us ? Shall
we submit without a struggle ? No, we are,
in a righteous fause, and we commit it to
God. If we fall in it, we will fall manful
ly I >f we die, we Will die like meg. Never
shall posterity have cause to curse our
memories for entailing slavery upon them.
What we can we will do to the utmost,
that freedom may be the birth-right of opr
descendants, as it was ours."
3. That resolute and manly spirit of our
country which has now been described,
was the more remarkable, as in its origin
it was so far from being the fruit of preju
dice against England, that every prejudice
was in her favour. The colonists, at that
time, (whether right or wrong,) »d
-mirers of the British constituting, and con
sidered it as almost a model of gov
ernment. They in no wisp meditated a re
volt, ar a disseverance of the British empire.
Suffer were they from thinking the English
to be slaves, that theif highest ambition
was, to have an equal jArticipaUon of their
privileges, ortoenßvthe same freedom
here, which at heme. Nor
was R till after the contention had lasted
for years, that any considerable number of
the colon isM seriously wished for a separa
tion, and for independence. But though
England was their favourite country, and
fo/ loyalty te*« IMK **• Binc «*
•►dent, yet woulll they mist onto blood,
father than softer that country and that
king to encroach upon their rights.
