The New-York gazette, and the weekly Mercury — New-York [N.Y.], 1775-02-20 00:00:00, page 2

Mr. Gaine,
WHEREAS some time past a Letter published
in Mr. Rivington's Gazeteer, signed R. L.
contains insinuations to the Disadvantage of my Cha
rafter ; and as you have inserted in your last Monday's
Paper on Affidavit sworn against me, by Roeloff
Duryee ; please to publish the following Vindication
of myfelf against both those Pieces.
The firft of these Performances insinuates, That
I made free with the private Character of the Super
visor of Jamaica. This Insinuation is utterly falfe
and groundless. I defy the Author of this unjust
Charge to mention the Person to whom I have Spoken
against the Supervisor's private Character. A Part
indeed of his public Conduct was disapproved in one
of the Resolves of the Town Meeting ; but in this
all who voted for those Resolves were concerned as
well as myfelf.
With regard to the said Town Meeting, although
I thought it might be for the public Good, and from
a Principle of Benevolence, Generosity and Gratitude
to the Delegates, and Love to my Country, I wished
to fee every Town and County in the Province, adopt
and approve the Measures of the General Congress;
Yet I was not concerned in calling the Town
Meeting; I did not attend the previous Meeting
where it was determined to call one. I only went to
the Town Meeting according to warning, being
informed it was approved of by Justice French, and
that he was willing to be one of the Committee.
When I met with the People it was strenuously infitted
on that I should a& as Chairman, and be one of the
Committee, though, I repeatedly refufed, on the
Account of my Ecctefiaftical Character, and for
Fear of creating Prejudices against my Ministry. In
answer to this, the Example of other Clergymen,
and Several other Reasons were urged; I still declined
it, and was at last persuaded by the utmost Importu
nity. Justice French attended the Meeting of the
Committee, and in general approved the Votes of the
Town Meeting, and the Address to the Delegates as
they were published. The Public might be ready to
conjecture from the injurious Hints contained in the
Papers against me, that 1 was fond of meddling
with public Affairs, beyond my Province. But of
this they may be assured, that for these 14 Years
pad, I have led a very retired Life, having Seldom
stirred abroad, except on my own private Bufmefs,
being naturally averse to Places of public Resort and
Conversation.
Indeed I am not ashamed to own that I exceedingly
value the Con(titutional Liberties of English Subjects,
and that L elkem .them the undoubted Birthright
of these Colonies ; and therefore that I have been
greatly diftreded under Apprehensions of their Loss,
and concerned to prevent it.
It seems allowed on all Hands that America has
Suffered Grievances; that fhehas a Right to complain
and Seek Redress, The Proceedings of the General
Congress 'have been thought the likeliest Means to
obtain this deferable End. I confefs lam of that
Opinion, and if I am mistaken in this Point, almost
all the Assemblies of the Colonies, and Millions of
their Constituents, (I believe) are mistaken with me.
With Regard to the substance of Roeloff Duryee's,
Oath. I have this to observe upon it, that he neither
Specifies the Time when and the Place where the
Speech he imputes to me was made ; nor doth he
iwear to the particular Expressions contained in it,
(but fays) or Words to that Effe&." To the best
®f my Remembrance, I have had na Conversation
with laid Duryee for 8 or 9 Months past, and I leave
tants of this province for their own private use, OT
the use of the laid province. And it is strongly
recommended by this congress to the committees of
Correspondence and Infpe&ion in several Towns and
Diftri&s in this province, to fee that the above Re-
Solves be ftri&ly and faithfully adhered to, till other
wise ordered by this or some other Provincial
Congress, or House of Representatives.
A true Extrafl from the Minutes,
Benjamin Lincoln, Secretary,
By a courier jud arrived from Cambridge, we
learn, that the Piovincial Congress, now fitting
there, have appointed a committee to examine into,
and anfwerhis Majesty's most gracious speech I And to
allure him that there is not a prevailing Disposition to
infringe the Laws, as has been malicioufty and falfely
represented to his Majesty.
Extract of a letter from Neic-Yor^, dated fan. 30.
" The enclosed will unriddle the Joy that fills the
Breasts of all the friends to Government, Decency
and good Order : ---Since the glorious Eleven, with
Colonel Philips at their Head, have carried the Day;
two more Members are come, both of which are of
the right Side ; so that there is now no Chance of the
Assembly's aiding or abetting the Congress. The
Friends to Government plume themselves on this
Victory, and are now open mouthed against the
Proceedings of the Congress, and no One dares,
among Gentlemen, to support them Worthy old
Silver Locks (Lieut. Gov. Colden) when he heard
that the Assembly had a&ed right, cried out,—Lord,
noiu letteft thou th, Servant depart in Peace."
The County of Fairfax, in Virginia.
Col. Geo rge Washington in the Chair.
RESOLVED, that it be recommended that the
sum of three Shillings per poll, for the afore
faid, be paid, by and for every tithable person in this
county, to the fheriff, or such other collector as may
be appointed, who is to render the fame to this com
mittee, with a lift of the names of such persons as
shall refufe to pay the fame, if any such there be.
And also resolved, that such of the inhabitants of
this county as are from sixteen to fifty years of age,
to form themselves into companies of 68 men, to
chufe a captain, two Lieutenants, an ensign, four
ferjeants, four corporals, and a drummer, for each
company ; that they provide themselves with good
firelocks, and use their utmott endeavours to make
themselves masters of the military exercise, published
by order of his Majesty in 1764, and recommended
by the provincial Congress of the Massachusetts Bay,
on the 29th of October last.
The Speech of Logan, a Shawanefe Chief to
Lord Dunmore.
" I appeal to any 'white man to day, if ever he
entered Logan's catkin hungry, and I gave him not
meat; if ever he caitae cold or naked, and I gave him
hot eloathing. During the course of the last long and
bloody war, Logan remained in his tent, an ^gvocate
for Peace ; nay, such was my love for the whites,
that those of my own country pointed at me as they
passed by, and said, " Logan is the friend of white
men." I had even thought to live with you, .but for
the injuries of one man. Col. Creffop, the last
Spring, in cold blood and unprovoked cut off all the
relations of Logan, not sparing even my women and
children. There runsnot a drop of my blood in the
veins of any human creature. This called on me
for revenge. I have fought it,--Ihave killedmany,—
I have fully glutted my vengeance-For my country.
I rejoice at the beams of peace ; but do not harbour
the thought, that mine is the joy of fear. Logan
never felt fear: He will not turn his heel to save his
life. Who is there to mourn for Logan ? Not one."
it to the Reader to judge what Degree of Credit is
due to his Testimony, relative to Conversation passed
so long since. Besides I am of Opinion, that the
Americans are under no necessity of chufing either
of the Alternatives mentioned in his Affidavit ; and
that they may avoid the Duties to which they are
averse, by not importing orufing the dutiable Articles;
this is the Mode of Opposition adopted by the General
Congress, which I look upon as the most efficacious,
prudent and pacific Method of obtaining a Redress of
Grievances, and which I have also with many of my
Neighbours publicly approved.
I would farther remark, that as lam no Merchant
or Importer of Goods, the Payment of Duties upon
them, doth not refpe& me. And therefore the Public
may judge of the probability of my making such a
Declaration as Duryee has sworn to : I have always
lived in Friendship with Duryee's Father and Uncle ;
have visited and prayed in his own Family in Time
of Sickness ; have never yet that I know of done
him the lead Wrong to merit such cruel and injurious
Treatment as I have met with from him.
If my Enemies mean to insinuate by publishing
Duryee's Oath, that I am disloyal to our gracious
Sovereign, I can appeal to the Churches in which I
have ministered, that I have constantly and' most
devoutly even to this very Time, prayed for his
Happiness and Prosperity, and that of his Royal
Houfhold, for the Unity, Peace and Felicity of all
his Dominions, and a hearty, permanent Reconcili
ation between the Mother Country and her Colonies,
founded on the firm and lading Eftabli/hment of
civil and religious Liberty throughout the whole
British Empire. It is also known to many that I
have frequently read to several Congregations his
Majesty's Royal Proclamation for the encouragement
of Piety and Virtue, and for preventing and punishing
of Vice, Profanenefs and Immorality. This I have
done to endear his Majesty's Person and Government
to his People, and prevail on them to comply with his
truly noble and magnanimous Purpose; and the
Public will permit me to add, that I have earnedly
endeavoured, by my own personal Labours and
Example, to lead others to Knowledge, Virtue,
Piety and Happiness. During the last War I preached
a Sermon to a Number of the Regular Troops quar
tered at Elizabeth-Town. This I afterwards pub
lished and dedicated to General Amherst. In this
Sermon any Reader who thinks proper to peruse it,
will find the most affe&ionate Loyalty, to his late
gracious Majesty, the tendered Concern for the Safety,
Glory and Prosperity of his Troops; an earned
Attempt to rouse and animate the People in his Cause,
and an ardent Zeal for the Welfare of my Country.
Since I have lived on this Island I have constantly
endeavoured to promote the Happiness of my Fellow
Creatures in this Life, and that which is to come.
I have preached the Gospel without Salary, when I
might have had an honourable Support. I have ever
pitied the Oppressed, and hated Oppression and Immor
ality, for which I now feel the Weight of their
Resentment. If I know my own Heart it detests
Vice and Iniquity in every Shape, and breathes
Benevolence to the whole human Race, and if every
unhappy Son and Daughter of Adam were in a
Capacity of enjoying, and actually enjoyed that
Liberty for which they were originally designed by
Nature and Nature's God, I Should joy and rejoice
with them all.

The following Hand Bill was distributed thro' the
Town of Bolton, the 6th instant.
Friends, Countrymen and Citizens !
HAVE ye read and weighed his Majesty's Speech ?
The address of the Lords and Commons of
Great-Britain ? I fear we have got into a wrong box !
Therefore let us not any longer be led by phrenzy,
but seize upon, and deliver up to juftce (at once)
those wno have seduced us from our duty and happi
ness ! Or depend upon it they will leave us in the
lurch ! Nay, I am assured, some of them (who had
property) have already mortgaged all their substance
for fear of confifeation, but that fliall not save their
necks, for I am one (of forty milled people) who
will watch their motions, and not fuffer them to
escape the punishment due to the difttfrbers of our
repose.---Remember the fate of Wat Tyler; and
think how vain it is for Jack, Sam or Will to war
against Great-Britain, now she is in earn est! It is
greately inferior to the Giants waging war against
Olympus ! These had strength, but have we ? Our
leaders are defparate bankrupts! Our country is
without money, dores or necessaries of war ! Without
one place of refuge or defence ! If we were collected
together, we should be a confuted herd, without any
disposition to obedience ; without a General of ability
to dire& or guide us! And our numbers would be
our destruction ! Never did a people rebel with so
httle reason, therefore our conduct cannot be justified
before God ! Never did so weak a people dare to con
tend with so powerful a Bate ; therefore it cannot be
juftifiedby prudence ! It is all the consequence of the
arts of crafty knaves, over weak minds and wild
enthusiasts, who (if wecontinue to follow) will lead
us to inevitable ruin.
Rouze, rouze, ye Maffachufetians, while it be yet
time 1 Ask pardon of God, submit to our King and
Parliament, whom we have wickedly and grievoully
offended ! Eyes, had we but saw not I Neither have
we heard with our ears ! Let not our posterity curie
us for having wantonly loft the estates that should
have been theirs ; or for entailing misery upon them,
by implicitly adhering to the promises of a few de
speradoes 1 Let us seize our seducers, make peace
with our mother-country, and save ourselves and
children. Amen!
