To all Officers, Soldiers, and other Inhabitants
in North-/imerici, now in Arms against the
Parent State.
THE Period has now arrived, which, after a
Train of numberless Evils consequent upon
Civil War, must be welcome to every honest Heart,
as promising a speedy »nd to Bloodshed and Confu
fion, and a happy Return of the Blessings of good
Order, Peace, and Liberty, upon the most solid Foun
dations. The Parent State lamenting the Interrup
tion of that Union which formerly subsisted between
her and these Colonies, is now defireus to recall them
to their wonted Duty, and to effe& it by the most
powerful Motives that can operate on Minds not to
tally abandoned to Ambition, or the wild Schemes
of factious and feff-interefled Men. All Ground of
Complaint and Jealousy is now entirely removed, and
every Man melt determine, whether it is most foe
his Interest to live under 3 GOVERNMENT THE
BEST AND FREEST IN THE WORLD, of
have 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 Truft^
Should the proferred Terms be rejected, it must 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 it
now become the Duty of 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, bitt 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 a&uated by just
Principles, 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 of your Detestation of a Separation from the
Mother Country, I take the L'berty to invite you to
embrace the present Opportunity of Shewing to the
World, that you are willing and ready, at the Hazard
of your Lives, to contribute your Aid to the Re
storation 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
will be cordially received.
