ANNAPOLIS, February 16. 1
To the PRINTERS.
THE present unhappy contention between the
mother country, and her colonies, is a matter
of the deepest concern to every honest to every
feeling mind ;---it is therefore the indilpenfible duty
of every friend to society, to study and to pursue
those methods, which may lead to a perfect .recon
ciliation, and the ettablifliment of a permanent union
between Great-Britain and America.
The principle of parliamentary taxation over this
extensive part of the empire is generally denied by all
ranks and denominations of men; the grand fubje&
of controversy, therefore, that prevails at present,
refpe&s the moll eligible method to obtain redrcfs.---
On this point there appears a dirifidh irTfentiment,
which has given rife to heart burnings and diicontents,
and in some degree struck at the root of that harmony
which, at this important period, ought to guide and
influence every action.
In opposition to measures dictated by calmness and
moderation (a steady adherence to which, it was
generally supposed, would be attended with, the molt
happy effects) a military appearance is assumed
subscriptions are industriously makingfor the purchase.
of arms, ammunition, &c. and the fevered censure
is indiscriminately palled on those persons who happen
- to diffept from the popular opinion, and prefer more
conciliating methods of accommodation.
It is certain that there are many in this, and other
provinces, who obje& to the spirit of violence, which
seems at this time too predominant. -Convinced of
the propriety of their Sentiments, and the integrity
of their hearts, they conceive that the cause of America
may be actually injured by a precipitate and unnecefi
farydefiance of the power of Great-Britain : they
firmly believe that a icfpe&ful behaviour to their
sovereign and their mother country—a dutiful and
cenftitutional application to the throne—and a firm
perseverance in virtuous, though pacific principles,
will, in the issue, be productive of the molt felicitous
consequences. Affuated by such considerations,
they cannot be reconciled to those violent extremes
which have been too raffily adopted by many-----and
which they are anxious to eftablifli, as the only feasible
plan of terminating the present diffentions.
On deliberate reflection, it can hardly be imagined,
that the mother country has formed the lead intention
of reducing these provinces to a Rate of abje&
fertility by the force of arms-—the natural connexion
---the elofe ties---and nice dependencies, which exist
between the different parts of this empire, forbid
indulging any conclusions of so melancholy a nature.
She will be more just--more tender to her offspring--
the voice of reason will prevail—our grievances will
be redressed—and (he will be found, to the end of
time, a kihd—a foftering parent ! But admit that
Great-Britain, were determined to enforce a fubmif
lion to all her mandates—even in that case we have
little cause to apprehend, that flie will unfheath the
sword, and ettablifh her decrees in the blood of
thousands. A more fafe and certain method is
obvious : a Imall proportion of her naval power
would intirely ihut up our harbours suspend our
trade—impoverish the inhabitants— promote inteltine
divisions and involve us in all the horrors of
anarchy and confufion.—To avoid evils, (even great
as these) we are not meanly to bend the neck, and
submit to every innovation.—But when there is no
profpeft of such dreadful calamities, why are we to
form ideas of battles, and of daughter? Why are
our coasts to resound with hostile preparations ?
the demon of discord to stalk at large and friends
and kindred forget the peaceful bonds of amity and
love ?
It has been objected by the advocates for modera
tion, that the methods pursued to complete the sub
scription for arms, &c. has more the complexion of
an arbitrary tax, titan a voluntary contribution.—
On the other hand, it has been afl'erted, " That
money railed in a manner, where there is no obliga
tion to pay, but a sense of duty ; and no other mode
to induce compliance but shame and infamy," cannot
be deemed a tax.—A sense of duty is undoubtedly
the molt noble incentive to worthy actions ; but a
filfe dread of shame and infamy has perverted many
an honest heart, 'and too frequently proved an irre
sistible temptation to difhonourable pra&ifes.— Let
us a moment reflect : Can there be an imposition
more arbitrary and severe, than a neceflity of assent
ing to any particular measure, or forfeiting that fair,
that unsullied reputation, which alleviates the cares
of life, and smooths the inevitable rugged path, to
the dreary mansions of the grave ?
" Good name in man and woman,
'' Is the immediate jewel of their fouls.
" Who steals my purse, Reals trash; his some
thing, nothing ;
" 'Twas mine, 'tis his, and may be Rave to
thousands;
'' But he that filches from me my good name,
" Robs me of that which not enriches him,
" And makes me poor indeed."
If Id ffer in opinion from the multitude, muR I
therefore be deprived of my charafter, and the confi
dence of my fellow-citizens, when in every Ration of
life I difeharge my duty with fidelity and honour ?
DEATH---the certain tax on all the sons of men,
were preferable to so abjeft a Rate.—No—'twere
better to fufter all that “ age, ach, penury, impri,
fonment, can lay on nature," than resign that glori
ous inheritance of a free-born fubje;&—the liberty of
thinking, speaking, and a&ing, agreeable to the
dilates of conference ! I frankly acknowledge, no
man has a right to disturb the peace of the commu
nity, by broaching tenets deftru&ive to the true
interests and welfare of his country; but, at the fame
time, it cannot be juftinable to compel others to
adept every system, which we may esteem conducive
to the public good. Let us therefore be unanimous
in virtue, in frugality, and industry ;---let us con
du& ourlelves on the Christian principle of " Doing
to others as we would have done to us ;---let us not,
in the frantic moments of intemperate zeal, mistake
libertinifm for liberty, and commit outrages, which
we shall recollect with shame, and condemn with
heart-felt anxiety. While we contend for the in
estimable blessing of British fubje&s, let us not af
lume a tyrannical authority over each other. In a
word, let reason and moderation hold the scale in
every important determination, so shall we be firm in
the cause of honour and true patriotism---so shall
every real grievance be effectually red reffed—every
man fhall'fog the song of gladness under his own
vine, and we shall at once be FREE—be loyal---
and be happy !
I am, Sir, most sincerely,
A Friend to Amity.

A N T IG U A, January 25.
We have received the following melancholy account
of a storm which happened at Madeira, by Capt.
George Keys, just arrived here, and whole ship was
loft in it : On the Sth of December last the gale came
on, which obliged all the Whipping then in the bay to
put out to sea, among which a large Dutch ship bound
for Surinam, was drove ashore and totally loft, also
a Portuguese brig, of which no account has been re
ceived since, and is supposed to have foundered at sea-.
On the 17th, being fine weather, and the wind
easterly, the shipping all returned to anchor in the
bay of Fynchali. It continued fair till Sunday the
I Sth about 3 o'clock P. M. when a sudden and heavy
squall came on from the. South, and continued to blow
with such unrelenting fury, as to prevent the shipping
getting our, attended with thunder, lightning, and
rain.
About midnight fix fail out of seven were dallied
in pieces, their names as follow : The Aurora, Capt.
George Keys, from London, ship loft, with three of
his hands, the Capt. happily was ashore. The Betsy
Gregg, Capt. John Griffiths, vessel loft, the Captain
with the whole crew, in number fifteen, perished.
The Peggy and Betsey, from Maryland, Capt.
Lewes, ship loft, the crew saved. A Danifli ship,
Capt. Bee, the vessel loft, fourteen hands, and one
woman paffengei; perished, the Captain being ashore,
his life was laved. Two Portuguese yeffels, the
Commanders and Crews leaving them in the begin
ning of the gale, saved their lives, the vessels totally
loft. Capt. Stewport, of the ship Dawkins, from
London for Jamaica, was the only vefl'el that rode
out the storm, having parted one Cable, and the
other near going, when the dreadful temper abated.
So terrible and tremendous a gale has never been
known, in the memory of the oldest man living in
Madeira.
