you are determined to involve the nation
in all the horrors of a cruel & bloody civil
war. Indeed, from the fatal experience
we have had of your arbitrary tyrannical
difpofalinn and lust of power, there is but
too much reason to fell 'that will be the
consequence ; for the general 6,inion
conceived of you is, that you would ra-,
ther fee the plains of England, like those of
America, covered with the purest blood
of her virtuous sons, than give up yoUr
present ministers to condign punifnment.
America presents to the world not only.a
dreadful but damning proof of these af
fertiens. We have known you, Sir, upon,
the arrival of dispatches from that feat of
blood, which have contained an account
of the daughter of thousands of th 6 bravest
men upon earth, immediately bufft into a
tit of laughter, a^d express a peculiar kind
of joy and fatisfaaion at the butchery of
mankind ; a htisfadion that would have
disgraced the humane feelings of a fevage.
Shame, defeat, dismay, and infamy fol
lows every measure of your government
in every quarter of the world, because they
are founded in despotism, injustice, cruel
ty, and Wood ; and without an immedi
ate alteration, a total change of men and
meafurety is speedily brought about, the
empire cannot Rana ; and if there is a
po^bility of effecting so desirable a pur
pose it mufll be by the present afaiations,
firm deri^r, and exertions ts Englishmen :
thus united and thus determined,they may
form prove themselves thefoviours of their
country, and, like their brave and virtu
ous forefathers, immortalize their names,
and fiew ty the wurid,that altbo' they
have been deceived they will not be enslaved
by any pious hypocritical tyrant, nor by
his intereftel adherents and abettors^
When the spirit of the people is roofed
into aflion, it will be in vain for you, Sir,
with all your obstinacy and Bateau firm
hefs to oppose or refill, even joined with
the affiflance of your present venal parlia
ment, the whole tribe of placemen and
panfioners, and all the mercenary cut
throats you may be able to procure. Eng-
Ighrnen struggling for their lives, their,
liberties and every thing held dear by
man, will be victorious against all the
powers of tyranny and hell ; and you,
Sir, may soon be brought to a sense of
your duty ; and notwithstanding you have
been a long time both deafarid callous, they
may make you bear and feel, and you may
be glad to offer up more facrifices to the
vengeance of the people than they have
demanded.
The good of the people is the end of
government, and the foundation upon
which it Hands ; and whenever any mal
administration of kings or ministers has
extended to tyranny and oppression, and
to the deftrudiion of the constitution and
the people's rights, it has ever been held
just to re affome the right of government
in their own hands, and to reduce such
traitors to reason.
