To those Gentlemen of the Committee of Merchants,
who signed the Circular Letter in 1785, for the
purpoje of Rettrifting the British Trade, and who
are in favour of the British Treaty.
GENTLEMEN,'
WHILE reading your important Letter, (Which
was communicated to the Citizens in every com
mercial town throughout the United States,) on
the alarming situation of the American Trade,
and observing the name of Hancock among the
fubferibers, we cannot but drop a tear of condo
leoce for our country that this Patriot is no more.
His spirit has afeended to the Heavenly regions,
and we trull receives those rewards peculiarly
aligned to the Philanthropic and Patriot. He
was always foreinoft in the cause of his country ;
he ever flood confpicuons as the friend to the rights
of man; in every instance, he placed himfelf in a
rtfponfible situation, when the welfare of America
demanded it—but alas, the people loft a fi lend,
when the death of Hancock was announced. In
him, every patriotic heart was united, and he con
tinued to his last breath, uniform in an adherence
to his principles. In honor to his memory be it
fpokeri, he never advocated a political meature,
which his real friends during he revolution, re
probated ; neither was he reduced in any part of
hls administration, to look to the old enemies of
his country for approbation. The Patriot Han
cock lived revered by his friends, and during the
period of his exigence, only the foul envenomed,
torified pen of a Laco dared to impeach his inte
grity. The fidelity of Hancock was rewarded by
the universal delegation of this abandoned mis
creant.
Yonr Circular Letter, Gentlemen, In 1785, is
honored with the name of onr deceased friend ;
and no doubt, was he now alive, he would be ac
tive in vindicating the sentiments to which he then
girre his fianature. His heart and hand ever beat
and moved in unison. Hamilton never poisoned
his mind, nor a Britft Fadion intimidated him to
alter his determination —he was in no inftauce the
dupe of a party, and never foolishly trotted to the
support of men, who were planing meafiires to
fopercede him ia his official ca^city. He had
(continued)
XT. That the word of the Lord is holy ; and
that it contairieth a three-fold sense, namely,
Celestial, Spiritual, and Natural, which are uni
ted by correspondences ; and that in each sense
it is divine truth, as accommodated refpeclively
t the Angels of the three Heavens, and also to
men on earth. True Christ: Rel. n. 193 to 213.
Out That the Books of the word are all those
which toe the internal sense, which are as fol
low, viz. in the Old Testament, the five books of
Moses, called Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Num
bers, and Deuteronomy ; the book of Jolhua; the
b>ok of Judges, the two books of Samuel, the
two books of Kings, the Psalms of David, the
Prophers Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Eze
kie, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah,
Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai,
Zechariah, Malachi; and in the New Testament,
the four Evangelists, Matthew, Mask, Luke,
John, and the Revelation. And that the other
books, not having the internal sense, are not the
word. 'Arcana Ccleftia, n. 1.0325. New fer. n.

XIII. That, in the Spiritual world there is a
Son diltinft from that of the Natural world : the
The Eflence of which is pure Love from Jehovah
God, who is in the midtt thereof; that the heat
also proceeding from that Sun in it’s eflence love,
and the light thence proceeding in it’s essence
wisdom ; and that by the Instrumentality
of that Sun all things were created, and continue
to fubfitt, both in the Spiritual and in the natur
al worid. True thrift Rel. n. 75. Influx n. 5.
XIV. That immediately on the death of the
meterial Body, (which will never be re assumed)
than rises again as to his spiritual or fubttantial
body, wherein he exifteth in a perfect human
form ; and thus that death is only aContinuation
of Life. New per. n. 223 to 229.
XV. That the State and conffitution of man
after death is according to his pall life in this
world ; and that the predominant love, which he
takes with him into the Spiritual world, contin
ues with him for ever, and can never be changed
to all eternity ; consequently, that if his predom
inant love be good, he abides in Heaven to all
eternity, but if it be evil, he abides in hell to all
eternity. Heaven and Hell, n. 480, 521 to 527.

XVI. That there is not in the universal Heav
en a single Angel that was created such at firft,
not a single Devil in hell, that had been created
an Angel of light, and was afterward call out of
Heaven; but that all both in Heaven and hell are
of the human race, in heaven such as had lived in
the world in heavenly love and Faith, and in hell
fich as had lived in hellish love and faith. Lah
Judgment, n. 14. Heaven and Hell, n. 311 to 317.
XVII. That man is not life in himfelf, but only
a Recipient of life in himfelf; which life is com
.nunicated by Influx to all in the spiritual world,
whether in heaven or in hell, or in the intermedi
ate State called the world of Spirits, and to all
in the natural world ; but it is received differently
by each, according to the Quality of the recipient
Subjeft. T. C. R. n. 470 to 474.
XVIII. That Man hath Power to procure for
himfelf both faith and Charity, and also the life of
faith and charity; but that nevertheless nothing
belonging to faith, nothing belonging to charity,
and nothing belonging to the life of each, is from
man, but from the Lord. True Chrifi Rel. n. 356

such sagacity as would have defeated the designs
of his enemies, if under the garb of flattery, they
had meant to bring forward a rival to mar his po^
litical reputation. If a Tincimty had lived in this
Commonwealth, our Patriot would soon have difi
cerned the artifice of a Junto to eclipse his glory.
If his original choice relied on the vote of hi < fel
low-citizens, he would not have flatted his repu
tation by depending on the fly manoeuvres of the
legislature.
Thy political reputation, Hancock, will ever
be revered by the Republican Citizens of Ameri
ca. You will }ive,illuJirious Spirit, in the hearts
of your Countrymen—and while Liberty and the
Rights of your Country are duly estimated, thy
name will be held in grateful remembrance. The
proscription of George the Third is a “ mauso
leum" to thy memory, which will survive a pon
drotis monument of marble.
Your Circular Letter of 1785,•contains five prin
ciples—ill, that the Carrying-Trade is import
ant to the United States—2d, that the impoJitions
of Britain are intolerable and grievous—3d, that
the Balance of Trade with Britain is greatly
againil us—4th, an earned recommendation w
Congress, to place the Commerce of America up
on a footing of equality with every other nation
sth, that British Factors are ruinous to the
Commerce of our own Citizens.
Upon these several particulars I shall occasion
ally address you. Asfeme of you were firong ad
vocates for the British Treaty, and as this banetul
instrument is now brought forward in our Tory
papers as the ted of Federalism, 1 now call upon
you candidly to anfu er the following queflions b
As truth, and a fair datement of the fimjedt before
the public, are my sole objects, if you are right,
and 1 am wrong, 1 will readily make an acknow
ledgment of my error.
ft the Carrying-Trade is important in your
minds, does not the British Treaty essentially in
jure it? Does it not by extending the Contraband
Articles, annihilate a large portion of this branch
of Commerce ? Does it not, by depriving ns of
our freighting tmfnefs in the Eaft.lndies (which
we enjoyed before the Treaty without any ob
tlrudtion, greatly leflen this profitable part of our
trade ? Does not the fubjefting our vessels to be
searched by the British, and their being liable to
be sent into their ports upon bare fu/picion, ein
barrafs us in almost all our foreign mercantile con.
nexions? Does not the admitting provifons to be
come a contraband article eltentially destroy that
valuable part of our exports, and expose the pro
duce of America to the rapacity of British impo
sition, under the fan&on of ministerial orders?
In Short, Gentlemen, if you are new in favor of
the British Treaty, you cannot hold the fame sen
timents yon did in 1785. To be confident with
your Circular Letter, you cannot now fay, that the
Carrying Trade is of the utmost importance to this
country=if you are in favor of the Treaty, you
mud be obliged to change your language, and fay,
that the Carrying Trade, indead of being o f the
“ utmost ipiportance," is but of little consequence
to our Commerce. If British impositions were
then thought grievous, fnrely the wanton captures
and arbitrary decisions on our vessels Since the
Treaty, mud convince you, that Britain has not
relaxed in her Severities, Since the adoption of
it—What boon have you obtained, gentlemen, by
the Treaty ? Some of you came forward in Old-
South, as the champions of our national honoY ;
die attonifhed multitude capped with utmost vehe
mence your enthufiadic Speeches; the ignorant
Jatellites within your influence, fancied they had
got their depredation money in their pockets, the
moment the obliging Moderator declared the vote
in favor of the Treaty Appropriations- The in
dividuals wlk) had resolution enough oppose
the measure, were sneered at through the Streets,
and even derided by a clan of miserable wretches;
whole folly led them to fancy that Pitt had all the
money counted out in the Exchequer, as soon as
Mr. Gore Should appear in England to receive it.
They Strutted from the “ Old South" with a de
gree of Superlative arrogance, and thought, after
Lawyer Otis had abused Mr.GALLATIN, that they
had Secured their whole demand on Britain for il
legal captures. They fancied that such an orator
would terrify the whole British government.>nd
his pretty Jpeech would either sooth or intimidate
the nation to cancel our claims. They even tho't
that if our resentment was roofed againil Mr.
Gallatin for not having “ a JeconrtJhirt, that
the commifferatiou of a Pitt would be excited to
bestow on the claimants a large proportion of his
wardrobe. The town-meeting of that day is an
epoch in the American annals, and we cannot but
pity the ignorance of those who retired to dinnrf,
under the full aflurance that the Speech of Mi?
Oils would force the British nation to grant us the
utmost extent of our demands. But the oppofers
of the Treaty knew at that time, we Shook! have
occasion to repent of our folly, and they now have
occasion to think their predictions have been veri
fied. The predictions of Lawyer Otis and the in
tegrity of Mr. Pitt were " one and indivisible."
To return, gentlemen, if you approve of the
Britifli Treaty, you mwA disapprove of your for
mer conduct ; tor the Instrument agreed to by
Mr. Jay destroys every principle on which you
predicated your Circular Letter in 1785. At that
time you were alarmed at the arrival of a tew
British Factor, and Agents ; you represented then!
as detiruftive and ruinous to the American Com.
merce,” as hating; a « tendency to monopolize our
whole Trade. But the Treaty admits such per.
Tons to greater privileges than at the period your
were opposed to them—and yet, surprising as it
may seem, you became boisterous against them at
that time, and now with the men fubmiftke com
placene, accede to their admission.
This reverse of ctmdu& requires feme explana
tion' J would you, geqttemen, why the Car
rying Trade was not In the year z„ 5 , (when the
Treaty was adopted) equally Important as in
1785, when m wrote your Circular Letter?
Did not feme of you flatter the Tradefroen that
upon the ratification of the Treat, the Girryinc
Trade would be rated? But fa. the Treaty
