He is now playing the fame ga^e aver again# Propo
fols f>r a reconciliation, Commissioners, and what not,
are now,held out as the motion was last year, and for
toe f?m- purposes.
The 'two parties now divide, each going to his own
proper business. The King, and his secret Cabinet, to
arraying the greatest military force they can mutter, and
c'patching them to butcher us with the utmost expe
ditin; Lord North, and the Parliament, to amuse the
ration, and didra& and divide the colonies by every
hypocritical art in their power. Thus the two plans go
t .nd in hand; the one to divide, the other to conquer.
Was it not precisely so I'aft year? Is it not so now? All
y. timid, irresolute, terrified and double faced Whigs,
v/ho have, by one means or other, crept into authority,
open your months wide, and bawl stoutly against every
vigorous me dure until the Cornrriffiorfrs arrive. They
will bring pockets well lined with English guineas; pa
tents for places, pentions, and titles in abundance will
attend them. Your palms will be firft greased. You are
the only men who can compleat the Parliamentary plans for
riding an American revenue ! Common Sense fays this
winter is n orth an age, rejoice that it is now past, do all
in your power to pass the taring in inactivity, and met
tus may yet go to your minds. Lord North's motion
1 £ wilder did much for you; the Commissioners, equally
improved, will probably crown your wilbes. I (hall
thank God, and heartily reioice, if your influence reach
I ot the councils and proceedings of the Congress.
D.pnd ca it, my countrymen, “ divide et impera''
is th± inftrucrion of every Commissioner, and his orders
will be delay, divide, diftraft as much as poffihle, until
the forces me all arrived, and they be in a condition to
enforcetheir plan, then they will inform you that they
have received orders, by which they are commanded to
break off the treaty.
Too .limy have already loft fight of the King, and our
rrd r nits, and arc so faf-inated with the profped of
Corn?' dinners, that I begin io dread the hr re, and can
not Irip cifng out to you, Oh foolifh Americans ! Who
he, btwiwhed you, that you should put any confidence
in QA who fpil! your blood with as little ceremony and
'id^. kince as a butcher would that of an ox. Is this all
you h ou ri the King and ids Minill,.rs?
I 2mow acre is not a Tory now on the continent but
hopts tefe Commissioners will effect their purpose, and
aw preparing to give them every poffihle affiftahde, and
very few Whigs who have not their fears on thecccafiom.
E^cry thinking man on both sides of the question must,
aim docs believe, that their sole errand is to ' cajole and
deceive, and that huge promises; fits, bribery and cor
ruption, arc the means they will use.
I beseech you to lend all your spirit and vigour to the
Congress on the occation. Depend onjt they will want
it. Pray them to take one decilive flep. To fend orders
to the Commander in Chief in each province to arrest Lid
Comnriffipncr% in the name of the Thirteen United Co
lenico; as soon as they let foot on shore, and fend them,
under ilrong gu rds, .to the Congress, with the ftrideft
injunction th^t they be permitted to speak with no man,
hordes the guards and their servants, until they arrive in
PhUtfhfphia; nd that as soon as they arrive, a deputa
tion from Congress wait upon them, and afl: them this
or plain queitin: Have you authority to order home
your fleets and armies immediately? If they answer in
the neg hire, then to break off ail farther conference, add
h s/ tuem mi inat instant to the enemy's head-quarters,
v;.wi.l" rmyhm, Tb?t we fcorri as much to treat
with a Uigg< r at ofr breads, as We disregard their forces.
If they anfraf in he Ahromtive, then to allure them,
that as h^n as the intelligence of their fleets and armies
fife arrive in Great -Britain shall have reached America,
tee conference shell be opened, and not before. That
they, in the m~m time, Ihall be kept in fafe custody,
treated like gentlemen, but not permitted to correspond
er converse with tl . inhabitants before the treaty is com
pkated. Evry hour spent in conference with Cemmif
ironers before this takes place, is an hour loft to America
and two gained to Great-Britain, besides the immense
donates widen wifi arise from the powers of deceit and
eruption, Ebglilh gold, government promises, pensions,
t ties, and every are which malice, cu ming and religions
hvpocrify can invent or use, will be played off against our
liberties. These, judiciously applied, Will convert such
among the great as have not virtue and integrity to
withstand their force; and you will be fold without
pocketing a penny of the price. Without-pocketing did
Isly r ' Nay, yourfclvts must pay it. Hard lot indeed !
But f you have not virtue and spirit fufficient to support
the Co.itref? in executing these measures for your secu
rity, you leferve it. I conclude by exhorting you to,keep
o. tac \ ¥ -. & h; lose net light of the King and the army,
tadoking al the prime Minister, Parliament and Com
'.. bold Stroke rill effectually defeat the
nnchin itions of the latter, and Gen the former'will Land
alone am: uufupported, and a second vigorous exertion
wri cruft their evd'defigns against your liberties. Rc
riAr^cr... A Cornniiflioners are the wooden horse which
is to take those by firatagem whom twelve years hoftihty
could not reduce. Ad then like Laocoon; strike the
dagger into his bteaft, and never permit your credulity
or ffivity to giWthe perjured Sinon an opportunity of
making a worn out, deluded, or corrupted Whig the
altar on which to offer up your dear bought privileges.
CASSANDRA.
P. S. I shall be told this would be treating the Com
mAlcners too cavalierly. To this I anfwor, men corning
on such an errand cannot be treated too much so. Let
any one shew the least mark of a design in Administration
to relinquilh their claims, and I will treat them wdh the
utmost ceremony and refpe&. I will publish an ancient
te/limon, in their own favour, if it can be but considered
as doing them honour. For though I trust I shall never
proftitu'e a pure and holy religion to pay my court to
men, though they be King§, yet I will do any right thing
for thofc m so good an errand.
