To all Officers, Soldiers, and other ' Inhabitants
in 'North-America,, now @n Arms agdinf the
Parent State.
THE Period has now arrived, which, after a
Train of numberless Evils <&nfequent upon
Civil War, muff be welcome to every honest-Heart,
as promising a speedy Bnd to Bloodshed andCenfu^
fion, and a happy Return of the Blessings of good
Order, Peace, and Liberty, upon the most fJlid Fourth
dations. The Parent State lamenting the Interrup
tion of that Union, which formerly subsisted between
her ard these Colonies, is now deftrous to recall them
' to their wonted Duty, and to effi& it by the nYoft
powerful Motives that can operate on Minds not to
tally abandoned to Ambition, or the wild Schemes
of fa&ious and felf-interefted Men^ Alt Ground of
Complaint and Jealousy is new entirely removed, and
every Man mult determine, whether it is most for
his Intent to live under a GOVERNMENT THE
BEST AND FREEST IN THE WORLD, or
h^ve a Prolongation of the Miseries of War, and
become, or remain a Subject of new-fangled Consti
tutions, which, however specious of Liberty in The
ory, must soon fail in the proper Checks to restrain
those who administer them; from the most wanton
Abuse of the Powers delegated to their Trust.
Should the proferred Terms be rejected, it most be
evident to all Men, that the Contest has not been
for the Liberties of America, but for the AG
GRANDIZMENT OF INDIVIDUALS UPON
THE RUINS OF THEIR COUNTRY. It is
pow become the Duty cf every true Friend of Ame
rica, to step forth and avow his Sentiments for a Re
newal of the Union with the Mother Country, and
if Necessity shall render it expedient, by Force of
Arms to compel the Refractory to submit. This is
not only a Measure dictated by Duty, but consonant
to the founded Policy, and justifiable upon the most
righteous Principles.
A CORPS IS NOW RAISING FOR THE
ABOVE PURPOSE, IN THIS CITY, the Com
mand whereof his Excellency the Commander in
Chief has been pleased to commit to me; in which
every Officer and Soldier who is actuated by just
Principled and desirous of restoring Peace, and true
Liberty to this once happy Country, shall meet with
all possible Encouragement.
Being personally known to many of you, and ap
prised cf your Detestation of a Separation from the
Mother Country, I take the Liberty to invite you to
embrace the present Opportunity of shewing to the
World, that you are willing and re^dy, at the Hazard
of your Lives, to contribute your Aid to die Re
floration of true constitutional Liberty. Such of
you as are inclined to enter into said Corps, will
apply to me in the .City of New-York, where you
w ill be cordially received.
