therr connexion for yvun) and other Britifo
fu/j^ls to become agents and fafhrs for
them, with powers and privileges to cajole
or frighten you into an acquiescence to
such lyhems? Surely, my fellow-citizens!
You are not already lunk down io low as
to be the only people on this 'continent^
tamely Submitting to infelts arid aftrfoh
frightened by the bare mention of war,
and other little arts pradifed by the Imif
faries and friends of the Britijh among
you !—whofe children (hall be turned out
(after all the toils and dangers,, difficulbies
and diftrefes, both you and th, have en
countered in a faccefsful war) to feed like
swine on roots and acorns ; and driven like
the wild beasts of the land into dreary
wikerneffes —there to seek new habitati
ons, and to encounter new dangers'! Whilst
you, who have fought and bled for your
country; been harafled and plundered for
seven long years, Shall be thrown into
loathsome gaols, and compelled to yield
up the little property you have preferred;
and likethe poor beggar creeping through
the land, in wretchedness and delpair,
behold the apfate friends of liberty,
revelling in the Sunshine of gladness with
the accused enemies of your country's
cause, an 1 authors of,^r misery, on the
spoil of v, hich they had robbed you.
Think, my fellow citizens'! on the days
of wrefchednefs before they approach too
near unto you; and learn to oppose the
enemies of your freedom and happiness
before they become too deep rooted, and
fliall have grown too strong. Liberty
was never yet long preserved in any coun
try without great exertions, and a watch
ful attention in the body of the people.
