Miniltry for making the American Cover
aors independent of the provinces, frems very
well calculated to fecure the dominion Of The
mother. country while The Governors de-
pended entirely upon the provincial sfiemblles
for their falary, they were always naves TO

the supremacy of England the removal of

To the K | N G.

SIRE,
TITO our unfpeakable grief and confer
i nation we find, another petition and
remembrance of the livery of London, has
been delivered to your MajeRy, letting forth
the intolerable injutice and tyranny of your
nniniifry and parliament as evidently de.
voted to their will, as if they, and not the
people, had elected at leait two thirds Of them.
The barcfaced corruption in the laft general
election, the treatment of the irff county in
your dominions refpcaing their member,
the feating member for them whom they
diifruGej, and abhorred more than they
would have done Judas llcariot, had he been
offered in his f:ad the imprifonment of
their magiarAtes for doing their duty accord
ing TO their oath Of Office and hnally their
arbitrary compu.fon of the erafure of re-
cord, and other encroaohmen,, on their pro-
perry, done with apparent intention to vex
them, give all your iutjeas to fear, that
continuance of the fame corrupt, rapacicus
and iaiouItous administration will in like
manner proceed TO opprefs, plumber and
murder, in every part OF your dominions,
every perion who iha!l maniIel the leaf re-
luetance to their mott UNREASONABLE will.
All the colonies groAn under the molf IA
grant invahons of their conlfitWional rights
in having an arbitrary tribute levied upon
them, and their accountable fervants ren-
dercd their independent lords. In one of the
colonies a military force has fet law at def
ance, and drenched the ftreets with the
blood of the inhabitants 10 another, cor
ruption, extortion and oppreiIion, was 70
openly allotted By government, that the
people were driven to arms, and cruelty de-
ftroyed, wren by the laws of God and nature
they 0loald have been redrelIed.
To complaints, petitions and remonlran-
ces from your ancient, opulent and reipec
table county of Mitdlelex, your council adj
wife you to anfwer, that you fee with concern
a part of your fubjeets fill 70 far mjqsS and
dfLzGe6, as TO renew requef with which
you have repeatedly declared you cannot
comply
Can wc then at thoufAnd leagues dilance
from the throne, expect moe favourable
notice than they. Surely, no A fincsre re-
gard for your glory and happiness, obliges
me to advife you, that fee much danger in
this mode of proceeding. Petitions to a
King are dreadful things A fuPPo1ei wrong
done by government TO enc, is fuppofcd to
be done to every one for under govern
