TO THE PUBLI C.
THESE are to certify that I, a native of Ireland, left re
since the unnatural contest between Great-Britain and
America took place, and find, that the weak, wicked, and
bloody Ministry has such influence on the press, as to conceal
from the people the true state of fadts, and represents the Ame
ricans as traitors, in an actual Gate of rebellion, aiming at no
less than an independency ; which opinion I supported, till of
late, brought before the Committee of the township of Donegal
in Lancaster county, who fully convinced me of my error, and
by this I do express my sorrow for any thing I have done or said
iiMraical to the cause of liberty, which I do promise hereafter to
fapport, with all my might ; and I do beseech Almighty Ged tha£
the scales may fall from the ey+s of my countrymen so infatuated,
and that they may join hand in hand with me, in fupoorting
the cause of American liberty. Witness my han,d, this 16th day
