A NEW SO N G.
WHEN virtuous ardour, from motives
Sincere,
Nerves the arm of a soldier, what foe can he
fear?
Undaunted he fights, and his glorious name
Immortal (hall flourish thro ev'ry campaign.
No horrible story of Briton or Hessian,
Can apall or incline him to quit a profusion,
Which eager to follow, his foul s all on flame,
Ancl burns for apart in the next brave campaign.
In fatigue, toil and danger, he nobly delights,
No Ration alarms him, no terror airights : $
All the hardships of war, like a god, he fudains,
And thirsts for the glory of future campaigns.
Tho each ofhis foes were like Hercules brave,
While their efforts are tending aland to enllaye,
With contempt he beholds th' unfoldierly Rain,
And courts the fierce combat, and speedy cam
paign.
Short'd their number the legions of Xerxes
surpass;
Were their hmbs\offirm Reel, and their bodies
like brass,
He'd attempt to dissolve them with gun-powder
flame,
And smile at the terrors of such a campaign.
The love of his country impassions his breast,
For its fke, wi I whole fquadrens the field he'd
contest,
Exert ev'rv nerve, and inflate ev'ry vein,
And a thousand times die in a Single campaign.
Come then, each true soldier, thus let us be
have, .
Such motives are ours—and like him we 11 be
brave:
Let's disclose to the world from what heroes we
, came,
By the deeds of their sons the ensuing campaign.
Let Spirit and union dispel party Strife,
While Struggling for freedom and empire and
life : . .
Ungenerous sentiments nobly di.dain,
Fir'd with the idea of such a campaign.
Then wreaths Shall be twin'd of unfading re
nown,
Our brows to encircle and actions to crown;
And th' clarion immortal, of sonorous fame.
Shall transmit to all ages, this glorious campaign.

“ Therefore resolved, that it be recommend
ed to the respective assemblies and conventions
of the United Colonies, where no government
fufficient to the exigencies of their affairs ha
been hitherto established, to adopt such govern
ment as Shall in the opinion of the representatives
of the people, best conduce to the happinef
and fafety of their constituents in particular,anc
America in general."
And whereas doubts have arisen whethe
this Congress are invested with fufficient powe
and authority to deliberate and determine on ft
important a fubjeft as the necessity of erecting
and constituting a new form of government and
internal police, to the exclusion of all foreigr
jurisdiction, dominion and controul whatever
And whereas it appears of right solely to the
people of this colony to determine the said
doubts, therefore,
Refolded, '1 hat it be recommended to the
electors in the several counties of this colony
by election in the manner and form prescribe,
for the election of the present Congress, eithe.
to authorize (in addition to the powers veiled
in this Congress) their present deputies, or Q
thers in the Stead of their present deputies, or
either of them, to take into consideration the
necessity and propriety of instituting such new
government as in and by the Said resolution 0
the Continental Congress is described and re
commended: and if the majority of the cour

Shall be of opinion that such new government
ought to be instituted and established ; then tc
institute and eflablifh such a government as they
Shall deem best calculated to Secure the rights
liberties and happiness of the good people of this

peace with Great Britain Shall render the fame
unnecessary. And,
Resolved, That the said elections in the seve

of each county respectively Shall be determined
And it is recommended to the said Committee
to Six such early days for the said elections a.
that all the deputies to be elected have Sufficient

Extract from tie Minutes.
ROBERT BENSON, Sec.
In PROVINCIAL CONGRESS.
Nezu-York, Ma, 31, 1776.
WHEREAS the present government of this
colony by Congress and Committees, was infli
tuted while the former government under the
crown of Great Brtain exited in full force; and
was established for the sole purpose of oppoling
the usurpation of the British parliament, and
w?s intended to expire on a reconciliation with
Great Britain, which it was then apprehended
would soon take place, but is now considered as
remote and uncertain.
And whereas many and great inconveniencies
attend the said mode of government by Con
gress and Committees, as of necessity in many
instances, legislative, judicial, and executive
powers have been vested therein, especially since
the dissolution of the form of government by
the abdication of the late Governor, and the
exclusion of this colony from the protection of
the King of Great Britain,
And whereas the Continental Congress did
resolve as followeth, to wit.
“ Wheieas his Britannic Majesty, in.con
junaion with the Lords and Commons of Great
Britain has, by a late adt of parliament, exclud
ed the inhabitants of these United Colonies
from the proteaion of his crown. And where
as no protection whatever, to the humble peti
tion of the colonies for redress of grievances
and reconciliation with Great Britain, has been
or is likely to be given, but the whole force of
that kingdom, aided by foreign mercenaries, is
to be exerted for the destruction of the good
people of these colonies. And whereas it ap
pears absolutely irreconcileable to reafen and
good conscience, for the people of these colonies
now to take the fame oaths and affirmations
necessary for the support of any government
under the crown of Great Britain ; and it is ne
ceflary that the exercise of every kind of autho
rity under the said crown should be totally sup
pressed, and all the powers of government exert
ed under the authority of the people of the
colonies, for the preservation of internal peace
virtue and good order, as well as for the defence
of our lives, liberties and properties, against the
hostile invalions and cruel depredations of our
enemies.
