To his Excellency General GAGE.
SIR,
rr°HE freedom of the press is charaaeriftick of English
& liberty : The licentiousness of it is evidential of a
profligacy of manners. Truth scorns low arts of ribaldry,
and never asks the aid of indecency for its support; but
a bad cause ever seeks to maintain itfelf by the eftufions of
feurrility: And to the disgrace of human nature, like
some vegetables, it thrives mortin mire and filth.
It is from the freedom of the press, that I ask protec
tion for thus publickly addressing your Excellency; I
leave those to shroud themselves under the licentiousness
. of it, who aim to form a character from abule and
illiberality. , ~,,
Fain would I cast a veil over the nakedhefs of my
countrymen, but they have fetched it from me; and
their weekly impressions of defamation wall very probably
expose their nakedness uncovered to posterity.
When I throw my eyes on many of the publications tn
our news-papers, traducing the firft characters of my
country, I acknowledge Lblufo for the indelicacy of the
writers ; but when I fee a character attacked which hath
so long been eftabiifhed for its many amiable qualities,
and which hath merited, and been rewarded with Io
public approbation, I feel pain in the reflection, and am
inclined to think Sir ! That inhumanity itfelf must feel
, a conscious blush in the exertion of its malignity.
You are fenfire Sir ! That the artful demagogue, (be
hea public defaulter, and open maligner, or a private
assassin) when he mounts the ladder of popularity, he
firft put on the mafic of patriotism, and then, by his
vociferation, and the splendid appearance of his vizor,
and by mounting it for liberty, that liberty which his
heart is quite callous to the last sentiments of, he draws
his audience into the vortex of his political whirlwind,
and then disperses them as he lifts: Just as I have seen a
mountebank afeend his stage and display as a toothdrawer,
and by the rattling of half a hat full of teeth hath drawn
the gaping rustic to try the experiment, who by dint of
enthusiasm hath believed himlelf to be in pain, qnd fuf
fered the operator to extract three or four of the soundest
teeth in his head.
. We in this province Sir ! have been under the controul
of state mountebanks for many years, and they always
exert their faculties in experiments on every gentleman,
who presides inthe administration of government : Your
predecessors Sir! for fifty years past, have, in a peculiar
manner, heard the arrows of malignity whiz around
them, and the most unexceptionable characters have been
the objects most frequently aimed at: Not so in the last
century, when the deference for magirtracy was, perhaps
carried into extreme; for, them, a code of laws was drawn
up for the state of the Colony, in which one article was
inserted, though it did not gain the fanCtion of the
public, viz. That the reviling a Governor, or a Deputy-
Governor should be punished with death ; but one law
did pass, viz. That disobedience to parents, after due
correCtion, should be a capital offence. The contrast is
striking, then there was sacred regard paid to the laws of
society ; now, all diftinCtions and Subordination to govern
ment are let at defiance, and he who can exhibit the most
sovereign contempt of magistracy, and recede furtheft
from every Social and moral obligation, is the most popular
hero ; and the vox populi, which they are pieafed to Sanc
tify as the vox .dei is perpetually ringing its changes of
applause in his eaas.
The tongue and the pen of malignity have attacked
your Excellency, with great verulence, but they have
attacked ycu Sir! where you are invulnerable: huma
nity recoils at such malevolence and fixes your character
irreproachable ; wonder not at it Sir, for the example of
our demagogues hath educated all denominations in their
school of Slander ; and from the cobler in the Stall to the
fatchell school boy, up to the pedagogue himfelf, the press
hath groaned under the burden of licentious fcribling:
Even the sacred delk, which ought to be consecrated to the
cause of virtue and religion, hath been too frequently
prostituted to the basest purposes of sedition: this was
the masterstroke of politicks in the leaders of the faftion;
they succeeded: and the sacred college is again publickly
summoned to the charge.
You have taken upon you Sir ! the administration of
government, at a time when government itfelf was never
in so great convulsions: you must exped insults because
you are a Governor: Majesty itfelf hath been trampled
upon by the base foot of rebellion. Be pleased to remem
ber, Sir, that it is not Mr. Gage, but the Governor
whois to be the objed of abuse. It hath, been the esta
blished rule of our libellers to attack ah irreproachable
character with the lowest observations ; some Governors
have been too Short, others too tall, and even these re
marks were fufficient to create insults from the rabble.
Make such allowances as you can, Sir! for the present
course of education, Since youth are too much trained up
in the school of ill-manners ; the consequences of which
the parent will soon severely feel, and curse the folly of
his own example, and the tuition of his child.
Persevere, Sir ! with that fortitude of mind, that native
humanity, which hath conciliated the efleem of the wife
and virtuous, and for which many of your enemies revere
you. Your talk is arduous ; the civil and military admi
nistration, united, are devolved upon you at an important
crisis ; you are a veteran in the latter department, and that
interesting charader you have eftablilhed : The civil de
partment you have not had much opportunity, as yet, to
exert yourfelf in ; but the friends to the restoration and
establishment of government and order, will ever attend
you with their best wishes and most zealous endeavours.
It is impossible, Sir ! that anarchy can triumph long, it
will prey upon its own vitals and devour itfelf. Let the
mens conjeia refli continue your rule of action : Truth is
of too great importance to be long trampled under foot, it
will increase by preflure; it will prevail, tho' Slowly, on
the human mind; it is for the interest of mankind that
it should prevail ; and it is of so divine origin that Heaven
itfelf will interpole to prevent its deftrudion ; and when
order and government Shall be established, we Shall all
awake as out of a dream and Shudder at the rocks, which
the common wealth hath been dashed upon by the vio
.lence of faction; and each one use his assiduous efforts to
repair the Shattered bark : Much depends upon you, Sir !
as our Pilot, and may it be your's to enjoy the applause
of all who interest themselves in the fafety of the com
mon wealth, and may you as the fatherof your country,
enjoy the supreme pleasure of the approbation of the Go
vernor of Universal Empire. I am, Sir,
A friend to this province, and your Excellency's
Most humble Servant,
PHILO PATRIA.
PHILADELPHIA, December 28.
Capt. Paxton who is arrived at Norfolk, on the
12th of November, off the weft end of Cuba, fell in

As Mr. Edward Cary, a man of 70 years of age,
was returning home in his waggon last Sunday
evening, two miles from this city, on the German
town road, he was attacked by some villain or villains,
who fired a load of small shot into his right fide,
which killed him, it is supposed, immediately, as he
was found lying on his back next morning in his
waggon, which had ran foul of and was Topped by
a post. A large horse pistol was found in the road
some distance from the waggon. The perpetrator of
this murder has not yet been discovered.
