THE SCOTCHMAN, No. 1.
LONDON, January 21, 1772.
Ense velut stricto, quoties Lucilius ardens Infremuit, rubet auditor cui frigida mens est. Criminibus, tacite sudant prœcordia culpa. JUVENAL.
THE most corrupt and degenerate times of Greece and Rome , never demanded the pen of a Lucilius , so much as the abandoned age in which we live. Englishmen heretofore revered and feared by their magistrates, and dreaded, like the Romans of old by every foreign state, seem now to have lost all sense of national honor, and are ready to yield up the greatest of all civil blessings to the will of a ty-t, bred in Gothic ignorance, and guided by a banditti of SCOTCHMEN . Take SHAME to yourselves my countrymen, and never submit to be enslaved by an I- - - - T, and a few rebellious sons of the North . Read the motley groupe and bluff! Bute, Mansfield, Grafton, Marchmont, Strange, Denbigh, Cathcart, Stormont, Murry, Mitchell, Gordon, Dunmore, Mackenzie, (commodore) Mackenzie, (James Stuart) Fraser, Elliot, Gilmore, &c. &c. These are our Scotch talk-masters, these are the men, whose FATHERS and BROTHERS have openly rebelled against the house of Hanover , these are the men, who have destroyed our most valuable rights, these are the men, who have butchered many of our fellow subjects with impunity, and yet these are the only men, whom the present King has shamefully honoured with his confidence. How are we to account for this barefaced general insult upon the kingdom? I will unravel the mystery. G was not born a SCOT , but bred one, and imbibed in his early days all the cursed principles of the Stuarts . I will appeal to the good sense of the English nation . Does not every act of his life confirm the truth of this assertion? does not the breath of every Englishman glow with honest resentment? or is the British spirit which animated our forefathers totally annihilated? good God! are we through the obstinacy of an un- - - - - monarch to be slaves for ever to a few proud, false, and perfidious SCOTCHMEN : forbid it Heaven ! let us not so far forget, and disgrace the patriotic virtues of those brave men whose swords purchased Magna Charta .
Nero is recorded as the most infamous of all the Roman emperors, for cruelty, rapine, injustice, extravagance, and to comprehend all other crimes ingratitudine . What shall I say of G the t- - - - - ? if he is not the worst of all the Brumwick's , it will be allowed me, he is as gentle , as just , and as grateful as Nero was; proofs of these are recorded in St. George's Fields , the kalendar of Newgate , and in the breath of those Englishmen who crushed two unnatural Scotch rebellions.
Nero set Rome on fire and murdered his MOTHER , by whose means he got the empire. The English ----- has not set fire to the capital of Britain , nor murdered his mother, (it would have been a pity indeed) but he has with all the insidious arts of a base born Scotchman paved the way for our destruction, and with his Northern janissaries murdered in cool blood, some of those men, by means of whose ancestors his family obtained the crown of these realms. Here, indignation and resentment take place of reason and candor, and every true Englishman will with me execrate the monster in whatever shape he appears, who can wilfully, obliquely and wickedly raise the standard of civil war, and endeavour to dye the fields of England with the blood of its sons.
SCOTCHMEN will flatter, fawn and lye, but it is beneath an Englishman, and I will never so far disgrace the name, as to give any false colouring to the actions of the for-

vereign, however dangerous it may be to myself, or disagreeable to him to see his picture drawn by the hand of Truth.
What can we expect, my countrymen! of a man, whom neither oaths nor obligations can bind? Who, instead of protecting, destroys the people that raised him to power? Who could promise two most infamous ministers in the closet, that no desperadoes employed by them to destroy the freedom of election, and the lives of those men who acted in opposition to their mandates, should suffer the punishment due to the inexcusable crimes of murder, and violating the sacred laws which alone can preserve this kingdom from inevitable ruin. Who could declare to the same men, and the whole Scotch junta, in the same place, that he would support and protect them in whatever measures they thought proper to pursue, that he considered them as his firm and fast friends, and would abide by their advice in every matter of national importance, however disagreeable it might be to the general voice of the people. So little does the Best of Kings, as his mercenary slaves term him, study the interest of this country, or the good of his subjects!
What can we expect of a man, who is mean and cowardly, when insulted by foreign states? who could be base enough, to suffer the cold unfeeling hand of a SCOT, in one moment to restore to the implacable enemies of his crown and kingdom, the spoils of a glorious war, which were purchased at the expence of many thousand English lives and some millions of money? who can smile and be boyishly familiar with a puppet-show-man, or, low mechanic, and be insolent, haughty, and reserved to every Englishman of rank and respectable character? who has more than once pretended a regard for the laws and constitutions of the British empire, which he was solemnly sworn to preserve, and yet has approved of doctrines and measures calculated, nay, designed to destroy both.
What can we expect of a man, who pretends a regard for religion and justice, yet associates with and rewards for their infamy the most profligate and abandoned wretches of the age; and pardons the most notorious and inhuman murderers? who assumes the appearance of virtue, and practices the most scandalous and shameful corruption?
What can we expect of a man, who has placed his whole confidence and power in those SCOTCHMEN, that have all their lives opposed the House of Brunswick, while he has proscribed and prosecuted with unrelenting malice and implacable revenge every man, who, in times of difficulty and danger, have supported and defended the present family on the throne?
What can we expect of a man, who has made the allegiance of his people incompatible with their own safety? who has claimed and exercised a power to dispense with the laws, and levied money on the people of Ireland by virtue of his letters only, contrary to a special act of parliament? who could erect a new board of accounts in that country (to the great oppression of the people, at this time almost ruined) for the abandoned purpose of gratifying five pimps and parasites of the court with places, and to secure with the greater ease a majority in the parliament there, or overturn the laws, and destroy the peace and happiness of that kingdom.
What can we expect of a man, who, though sworn to call free parliaments according to the constitution, could assist in packing the present superlatively infamous House of Commons in England? who, by closeting, promises, and other means, has completely modelled them to the designs of his own Scotch Junta? In a word, what can we expect from a man, deaf to the calls of humanity, deaf to the petitions and remonstrances of a loyal and grateful people? who can hug a traitor and spurn a friend? —I do pronounce from such a man we can expect nothing but misery, disgrace and slavery.
When the Duke of Cumberland was visiting the age by his debaucheries, breaking through every sacred tie, and all laws human and divine, which bind civil societies, and make men happy on earth, then, and only then, did our religious and virtuous King countenance and support him, and St. James's was the only place where he could find an asylum from the just resentment of an injured husband, and the contempt of mankind. Then it was, our amiable sovereign caressed him, while the Scotch rebels, who surround his person and throne, flattered and fawned on him. The moment the world had reason to believe the King was struck with a sense of his crimes, intended to reform:
that instant his righteous brother and king drives him with a vindictive persecuting spirit from his presence; he is no longer a proper companion for George and his brave friends.
It is apparent to all mankind, from every act of the king and his Scotch ministers, that despotism is spreading itself throughout the British empire. It is impossible to blind the eyes of the people, with pretensions to religion, virtue, and justice, they will expect to see them practised in a few instances at least; otherwise, credulous as they are in general, suspicion will get the better of their belief, and they will execrate themselves for being deceived by the false guise of one Fool and a few Scotch knaves.
Men of sense and reflection observe with indignation; every step that is taken to prepare the way for the introduction of tyranny and arbitrary power; they see, and with concern declare, this kingdom to be in a situation as miserable and deplorable as it was at the last revolution. These are the private sentiments of all men, and the public declaration of thousands; where then shall I find words to express the monstrous wickedness of this reign, this total absence of all virtue, religion and tenderness to the human species? What colours can paint it? what pen can describe it.
What can be more cruel, wicked and destructive to human society, or a greater blasphemy against the Supreme Being; than to make government, which was designed by him, to render men numerous, useful, good and happy, an unnatural engine to destroy mankind, by millions, and the peace of the world, to make one or a few proud and insolent.
A question here consequently arises; suppose a man who has no natural right, should accept great powers, honours, and immense revenues, and other advantages to himself and his posterity, either upon express conditions as in all limited constitutions, especially our own, or implied as in all constitutions whatsoever; and yet, either by open declarations, or deliberate actions proclaim to the world, that he does not intend to be bound by those conditions, that he will no longer abide by his legal title, but will assume another that was never given him, and to which he can have no right at all; that he will govern his people by despotic authority; that instead of protecting, he will destroy them; that he will overturn the laws, and instead of being a terror to the wicked, will be a terror to the good: I ask in such a case, whether his subjects will be bound by the conditions, which he has renounced? Do the obligations subsist on their parts, when he has destroyed them on his; and are they not at liberty to preserve themselves, and to seek protection elsewhere, when it is denied where they have a right to expect and demand it, and to get it by any means, even at the expence of him and his family, when no other method or recourse is left?
Let that gloomy Scotch imposter Dr. Samuel Johnson, and all the merciless advocates for tyranny and superstition, which this blessed reign has produced; exert all their quaint eloquence, all their knotty distinctions, and answer this question in the affirmative if they can. Let them distinguish if possible, the case of their present Idols whom they are paid to worship, from that which I have represented; let them shew that he has a right to be a devil, let them do this to the conviction of mankind, and I will then believe it is possible for SCOTCHMEN to be divested of treachery and baseness.
Every virtuous good king will endeavour to protect his subjects from the snares, cheats, frauds and oppressions of designing men, how strange is it then, that the best of Kings, should reverse the rule, prostitute his power and public honour, and combine with a set of wretches who are perpetually forming schemes to ruin thousands, and when one sort of oppression can be no longer supported, set their heads to work to find out another. But we live in the balcony days of George the third.
We read sometimes in history of a tyrant sitting in his seat of justice, once in so many days, to hear equally all causes and persons. What a mockery! what a farce to hear the word justice come out of the mouth of a tyrant, or a button maker, who is a settled enemy to the laws of justice, mercy and common sense.
Experience convinces us neither justice, mercy, virtue, religion, nor any thing that is good or desirable can subsist, under an obstinate, ignorant tyrant, he lives by nothing but what is detestable and wicked. He is supported by general ruin; and as fraud and villainy, and every species of vio-
lence and cruelty, are the props of his throne; so he measures his own happiness, security, and strength, by the misery and weakness of his people; and continued oppression and rapine are his studied and necessary arts of reigning. I could produce many instances in our own history, to prove every word strictly true, even to the satisfaction of the SCOTCHMEN about St. James's, but it is unnecessary, as there is seldom more than one tyrant and button maker in a family.

FOR THE MASSACHUSETTS SPY.
MR. THOMAS, The Publick not long since had presented to them a few scenes from THE ADULATOR; the following is taken from the first Act of it.
SCENE a Prison. EBENEZER solus.
Tis done—nor all their boasted power can save me! Not HAZLEROD himself w th all his art, Who long had buoyed up my sinking spirits, Can sooth the fullen passions of my soul, Or pour one ray of comfort on my mind. Condemn'd! to die!—Perdition seize them all! Where now are all the gilded airy prospects That swarm before me—honours, places, pensions— 'Tis all a cheat, a d—d, a cruel cheat. The wretch that seals himself on promises, Pursues a phantom, and but grasps at air: Tn' illusive vapour leads him to a bog, Then leaves him to his fate—cursed enticers! Ye who seduc'd my soul to laugh at virtue, To give up all my right to future bliss, And bid me dare to stamp the die forever; Ye, who encourag'd me with hopes of pardon, To glut your vengeance, for the cause was yours; On weeping innocence; to act a deed Which sportive fame shall blow about the world, Where are ye now?—
Enter HAZLEROD.
HAZLEROD. What lost to grief?—dejected?—can it be? Can the poor verdict of some half-formed peasants, Unmeaning dull machines, thus damp your courage? Rouse up my friend, for friend I still will call thee:
By every tie that links the human mind, That secret sympathy which cements souls, Which like two rivers mingle mutual streams And roll together—thou art, shall be mine. Know then we all have met, and all determined
[FREELE,
To aid the cause in hand—old tottering Whose age is strengthened only by his crimes, And witty LAULIES, always of one mind, Fortune's light bubble, cautious LATITAT, Whose soul ne'er knew one generous tenement Which gives a sanction to humanity, Steady and vigilant in one sole plan, To crush the friends of Freedom, extirpate The dear remains of Virtue, and like NERO, At one dread blow to massacre his millions; Steady to this one plan, tho' dreary spectres Scare all his soul, and haunt his midnight slumbers.
Yes, we will st: I protect thee—'tis impossible A cause so much at heart should droop and languish, And we not lend an aid.—When SEIDER bled
We snuff'd the rich perfume.—The groans of youth, Gods! they were music in our ears—You therefore
Shall one day leave this dreary tenement, Again with pleasing scenes of blood and carnage,
To glut our vengeance.—Yes, we swear, You shall be free whatever pangs it cost us. We'll laugh at all the howls of Patriotism. Should virtue check, should conscience whisper terror, We'll brave it all.—
SCENE changes to a private apartment.
Enter CASSIUS, and MARCUS a young patriot.
CASSIUS. It must be so. Our fates are too unkind.
Who would have thought beneath an air of virtue,
Solemn grimace, and proffer of fair deeds, Should lurk such baseness. To see the Patriot Reeking in gore, excites the keenest pleasure. Oh! my poor country! when I see thee wounded,
Bleeding to death, it pains me to my soul. Long have I wept in secret, nay could weep
'Till tears were chang'd to blood—when will it be,
When high-foul'd honour beats within our bosoms,
And calls to action; when thy sons, like heroes,
Shall dare assert thy rights, and with their swords, Like men, like freemen, pave a way to conquest,
Or on thy ruins gloriously expire.—
MARCUS On! CASSIUS, you excite a generous transport; In such a cause pleas'd could I bare my bosom, And pour my choicest blood—yes, I have seen, Tho' young I've seen, such crimes by arm'd wretches As wou'd have shock'd a century—one thing I wonder,
That deeds so foul should find abettors.
CASSIUS. You little know the world.
These greater vices Lead to preferment—the man of honest mind, Whose generous soul disdains base grov'ling actions, And grasps alone at virtue, sinks neglected. Yes my young friend, would you be great and powerful, Loaded with wealth and honors, be a rascal. Stoop low and cringe, stick not at oaths, nor let
Thy shrinking soul start at the thought of MURDER!
Then to RAPATIO go, and HAZLEROD, And all the band shall give a hearty welcome.
MARCUS. Oh! no I scorn it! better live a poor man, And die so too, while virtue and my conscience
Speak peace within; better, tho' hate and malice
May shoot their shafts against me; better thus To make my exit, while the soul with comfort,
Reviews the past and smiles upon the future.
CASSIUS. Yes, MARCUS, poverty must be thy fate,
If you're thy country's friend. And think upon it,
When I am gone, as soon perhaps I may be, Remember it—I hose men whose crimes now shock us
May close their measures—yes, the with'd for period
May soon arrive, when murders, blood and carnage
Shall crimson all these streets; when this poor country
Shall drink her richest blood—forbid it Heaven!
And may these monsters find their glories fade,
[made. Crush'd in the ruins they themselves have
A CARD.
To the noble and patriotic Lord DUNMORE. IT is an old and common saying, my Lord, that all comparisons are odious! but this, like many other old phrases in the world is entirely without foundation: For it is by comparison, principally, that we arrive at our highest degree of knowledge in this world, which Sir, you know, is but a low degree at best.—By comparing the conduct of men we gain the ideas of greatness, nobleness, goodness, &c. as also of littleness, baseness, wickedness, and the like. Thus, my Lord, when your conduct in the late abolition of the exorbitant fees, taken by the clerks of your predecessors, (or compared) with the conduct of a late G——r of North Carolina: Your Lordship appears as a brother, a father, a Guardian Angel to the Virginians, and a friend to the human race! While the other exhibits the character of a robber, a murderer, a hater of mankind, an infernal fiend, with a Soul more dark and horrible than the midnight of Hell! Had that arch D——l, may it please your Lordship, been inspired with your noble greatness of soul, Alamance would not have been stained with guiltless blood; and many a better man than himself might still have lived in peace and comfort with his family, friends and neighbours; and have been a great blessing to the Community. Would you, my Lord, embalm your name, and immortalize your character as the greatest, best magistrate ever in authority in America, (you see how comparison kept up) let one more noble and very deed mark your administration!—My Lord let at liberty the persecuted for religion's sake and let the prisoners go free, who are confined in some of your loathsome goals, for preaching the everlasting Gospel. Supposing to hold some errors; let those of their accusers, who are without sin, cast the first stone.

WHEREAS for several days past during my absence from town, there has been propagated many false, malicious and wicked stories of me, as having with unrelenting cruelty bore hard upon, threatened, and otherwise ill treated Captain Lewis Turner, whose late unhappy death it seems is laid to my charge. It is therefore incumbent upon me, in order to remove this strange and unaccountable prejudice that now prevails, to lay a state of my dealings with him, and treatment of him, before the public. I have had a very long uninterrupted friendly intimacy with him,—and as a Physician attended him and his family upwards of 24 years. In December 1758 I furnished him with my first account to the amount of 53l. 6s 8d. which had been then standing upwards of ten years; for which he gave his note, payable at a short period, with interest until paid. Since which, for 13 years attendance of his family, he stands indebted upon my books 42l. 14s. 6d having never received of him a single shilling in part of either note or account, although I have paid him several large sums for the purchase of real estate, of which he owned a part. which came by his wife, without stopping even what had been so long due.—Having for a year past retired from business into the country, when I came into town from time to time, I naturally applied to such as were in my debt, and among others, to my old friend Turner in my usual friendly manner, but having put me off many times with a laugh,—I shall pay you one of these days, some time last fall I left the aforesaid note with an Attorney, who upon writing a letter to Captain Turner, be waited on him, and made him acquainted with his absolute incapacity, and low circumstances, which being communicated to me by my Attorney, I took no further notice of it, nor was he sued or threatened to be sued;—but as sometimes I casually met him in the street, I might, and I believe I did, ask him in my usual friendly manner if he could not do something towards the note; he always answered me in the negative: his gratitude induced him, it seems, to express his uneasiness and inability to his brother-in-law Mr. Inche, who about three weeks ago communicated it to me, and wondered I should press the poor man, &c. withal telling me he owed two persons who pressed him very hard for their money, but the poor man had nothing to pay only some wild lands of little value. To which I replied, I would take 10s. in the pound. The last time I saw Mr. Turner was in the street towards New-Boston, and taking him by the hand we talked upon many minor matters; he discovered no uneasiness of mind to me, but wished I would see Mr. Debleis, I told him I would, but went out of town that day and could not. In short, I was very easy respecting my debt when I knew his circumstances; yet I thought it was but reasonable, as my debt was of so long standing, I should share some part with his other creditors; but never after had thought of suing or any ways distressing him; and have no reason to believe by his behaviour to me, he had himself any thoughts I should distress him, as I never to my knowledge uttered to him an unfriendly expression. Therefore I rest satisfied every candid person will, from this representation, believe that I have rather acted, not only a patient and friendly, but kind sympathising part; and do most sincerely commiserate his numerous unhappy, distressed children, and the loss of their only parent. J. SPRAGUE. Boston, April 22, 1772.

BEGS Leave to recommend to the Public, his newly discovered Essence of Earl, and Pearl Dentifrice, which he has found to be greatly superior not only in elegance, but also in efficacy, to any thing hitherto made use of for complaints of the Teeth and Gums: Particularly they will preserve the Teeth in a perfect sound state, even to old age; they render them white and beautiful, without in the least impairing the enamel; fasten such as are loose, keep such as are already decayed from becoming worse, prevent the Tooth-Ach, perfectly cure the Scurvy in the Gums, and make them grow firm and close to the teeth; they likewise render the breath delicate, sweet, and remedy almost all those disorders that are the consequence of scorbutic gums.

AMERICAN INK-POWDER experienced and found to be equal, if not superior to any imported. The excellent qualities of this powder are, that it makes the best black writing-ink, and is very convenient for gentlemen, merchants, attorneys and others that travel, it being not cumbersome and liable to those mishances that other ink is. The ink may be made in large or small quantities, as is most convenient. As freezing is prejudicial to ink, when the weather is cold this may be made with a little brandy or other spirits not liable to freeze. One quality peculiar to this ink is, that though the writing be exposed to extreme wet, it alters not, but will remain as long as the paper endures. This powder decayeth not by keeping. Note, the above powder has an ingredient in it that prevents ink from becoming thick and mouldy.
Any person by applying to ANN NORTON, nearly opposite the Post-Office, in Boston, or SAMUEL NORTON, the maker, in Hingham, may be supplied with any quantity of said powder, as low by the gross, as can be imported, and the smallest favour in this way will be most gratefully received.

THE public were advertised in the Supplement of Messrs. Edes and Gill's Gazette, of 15th August 1768, that a gentleman in Boston had deposited 100 Dollars in the hands of the Select-Men of this town, to be by them distributed as premiums to encourage the raising of Mulberry trees in this province, in the following manner, viz. "To the person that shall have raised from the seed, the largest number of said trees in the fall of the year 1771, being two years and five months old at least, forty dollars; to the person who shall have raised the next greatest quantity, thirty dollars; to the person raising the next largest number, twenty dollars, and to the person who shall have raised the next greatest quantity, ten dollars, provided certificates are brought from a Justice of the Peace, ascertaining the number and age of said trees; and that the persons receiving these premiums give the Select-Men their several obligations to spare to any inhabitants of this province, applying within eighteen months from the date thereof, ten trees at least, for three pence lawful money per tree, until they have parted with one half of the trees mentioned in the respective certificates." Agreeable to the foregoing advertisement the Select-Men after examining and comparing the certificates which have been transmitted to them, have adjudged the first premium to Mr. Loammi Baldwin, of Woburn; the second premium to the Rev. Mr. Jason Haven, of Dedham; the third to Mr. John Hay, of Woburn, and the fourth to Mr. George Sprigs, of Boston: and the Select-Men hereby notify them, that they will be ready at their chamber in Faneuil-Hall, on the three following Wednesdays, four o'clock afternoon, to receive their several obligations and pay their respective premiums, agreeable to the desire and engagement of the gentleman who has thus generously excited the attention of the public to an article of produce as natural to our soil as it will be profitable to the farmer, and which it is hoped will be so encouraged as in a few years to afford sustenance for such a number of industrious insects as will make the article of Raw Silk no inconsiderable branch of export from this province.
By order of the Select-Men, WILLIAM COOPER, Town-Clerk. Boston, April 8th, 1772.
Besides the trees raised by the persons above named, many thousand have been raised by those who were not intitled to the bounty, the trees not being of the age prescribed in the advertisement, though now fit to be transplanted; and if the farmers in the neighbouring towns are made acquainted, a considerable number would doubtless meet with a quick sale. The Mulberry tree as Dr. Elliot in his essays upon Field Husbandry observes, is of the quickest growth, is durable as red cedar, and may be used for ship timber, window frames, gate posts, &c. and is very fit for chest of drawers, desks, tables and other joiners ware. If these trees are principally intended to produce food for the silk worms, it is best they should be planted in hedge rows, as the leaves may then be gathered by women and children.
