% the Inhabitants of the Manor of Corthndt.
Gentlemen,
THE dangerous innovations and infringements
attempted by certain mercenary Ministerial
Tools, and infamous Traitors (in this Manor) of
their Country ; who assume to themselves the Name
of Loyalists, on the Liberties of them rellow
Subjects, have greatly alarmed the impartial Friends
of Liberty herein.----A Fool, fays an Author, has
great Need of Title ; it teaches Men to call him Count
and Dukes, and to forget his proper Name of Fool.
In a Day when American Pulse beats high, for
Liberty, when it is the Subje& of almost every
public Paper, as well as Topic of Discourse, it might
justly have been expelled, that no American would
be so hardy as to violate the Rights of his Fellow
Subjects; and if any such Monster Ihould appear
in this Land of Liberty, that there would not be
wanting Advocates for so glorious and important a
Cause, as to expose those of its Members tubo are
trampling on thefacred Rights oj the People.
I have waited with great Impatience, expecting
that some abler Hand would have undertaken the
benevolent Talk, to warn you to beware of the
Conduct of some of the basest Viihans that ever
disgraced any Society, and draw the Attention of the
Inhabitants to its danger, but finding that although
now some Months are elapsed since the Commence
ment of the Measures of these Traitors, &c. Yet
none has appeared to found the friendly Alarm to
the very indolentlnhabitants ; I have attempted what
I so ardently wished might have been done by some
more able Hand. While we are draining every
Nerve to baffle Foreign Attempts to enslave us,
surely it must be very criminal inthe Defeendants of
Britons, who ought to love Life and Liberty alike,
to be so assiduous in exerting themselves to enslave
their Fellow Subje&s.
It may not be improper to inform you, Gentle
men, of the Springs and Motives which induce these
principal Movers to forget their Duty to Ged, their
Fellow Countrymen, and their Posterity.
They anxious to secure to themselves and their
Posterity, Poiver and Authority, and to engross some
Offices or Pensions, from or under the Crown, have
made a Sacrifice cf all public Virtue on the Altar of
Self-Intcred. This desperate Spirit it was that
induced these Traitors er mercenary Hirelings to
exert their Influence to bring about the detectable
Measures proposed by a certain Paper handed about
here lad Winter, entitled, The Loyalifs TejK But,
happy forthis Manor that this very dangerous Scheme
was disconcerted by some Lovers cf Loyalty and
Liberty. For the Men who would make such
Inroads on the Liberties of the People, as they were
aiming at, to gratify their Thirst for Power, and give
Administration an high Idea of their Influence on
this Manor, would, from the fame Principal, exert
every Nerve of Influence to carry any Miniftelial
Mandate into Execution, at the Expence of the
Liberties of their Fellow Countrymen.
Can any judicious American Son of Liberty beheld
these Traitors of their Country without the utipolt
Abhorrence, by whole Influence the more illiterate,
and those who are unacquainted with the Principles
of the present Dispute, are so besotted as to resign
their Liberties into the Hands of the most ambitious
and deigning Fellows ; who are aiming to make a
Merit with the Ministry, by enslaving their Fellow
Country, and to aggrandize themselves and their
Posterity! surely he cannot: If Charles the firft
deferred the Ax, and James the Second the Loss of
his Kingdom, for changing the Constitution, and
thereby trampling on the Rights of their Subjects;
I leave you, my Countrymen, to judgewh.it Punilh
ment would be adequate to the Chimes of these
Loyalifls and their Tools, who are aiming at the
fame, by a Sacrifice of all public Virtue, and the
Liberty of their Country.
