Their artifice is to collect Continental currency, and im
mediately dikbarge with it such bonds and debts as they may
have contracted, with a seeming anxiety to get it out of their
hands as fall as they can. If they have goods to fell, they
afhx three prices to them ; one if the buyer will pay in hard
money, a higher price is paid in Provincial currency, and a
fill higher it paid in Qontinetal bills of credit. But they
have many other ways of.bringing that currency into difre
pute, which lam not at liberty to mention. I would also
give you a lift of the men of most influence and ingenuity
amongit us, and 1 assure you the catalogue would be very re
fpedfable, but 1 am not permitted to do it now, whatever [
may do hereafter, when Toryifm may be more fafely and
openly avowed.
We hold frequent meetings at different places ; some times
at our friends in Front-street, some times at particular ta
verns in the city, and some times in the suburbs. Be assured
we Ipare no pains to bring our affairs to a happy issue; and
though some folks may think, nay, do not scruple to declare
that we are doing all we can to ruin the country, and entail
a miserable slavery on our posterity, yet we are fatisfied we
are doing the belt we can for ourselves, and hope to enjoy
the heart-felt fatisfadion of feeing our former neighbours
apd friends imprisoned or hanged by hundreds, or their estates
confifcated, and the owner turned out to beggary and want,
whilst we enjoy our lives and possessions, and, perhaps, are
promoted to high honors. If this fho'uld not be the case,
there is no gratitude in government, and no. faith in Lord
Howe. lam yoyrs, &c. A TORY.
