~ in our property agree with
THAT we ous h; to fupport i. After
lgvery grea, puzzle, think he has found
out fome OF the grievances we complain of,
viz. His Maisfy's taking the payment OF
his governor upon him:elf; and the pa,lia-
nlent's laying duties upon trade "a: the sx-
prsfs purpofe of rafting revenue. He has
endeavowcd TO prove, that the King has a
right 10 pay the governor; and in fhoit,
it is necchary he fhould not be paid BY the
people over whom he is placed. This IS
to put him in different Gtuation to US
than that in which the King is to the PEG
pie of Britain. The King Of England de-
ponds upon the commerce Of Gr"at- Bril-
tain for his fupport, and it is rot propoled
that ne fhouid be made independent Of
them. If 70, how can the people Of the
Madacbuletts-B Bay be faid TO nave that fe-
curity againff defpoti(n which the people
OF England have. a ruler independant OF
thofe he rules, is qualified for, and it is
probable will be a tyrant; and therefore
cannot exit in free government -
will once for all inform Chronus, that the
people in general in this province and
through the continent, view the following
things as grievances which they labour un-
der, VIZ. he Britiih Parliament laying
duties upon trade for tha exprels pu-poie
of rafting revenue TIE keeping ttand-
ing army in time of prUfounc peace among
them without their content; the demand
made upon the HInfdale people; the lnds-
pendanc. of a governor upon the people,
and the lequiGtIon made by the governor
upon the Commons of the Manachu.. It's
Bay to exempt the CTS, sc. from
their taxes. Whether Ctgonus after a
little more application to the arts of logic
and metaphy iics, will not endeavour to
demonfrate that thefe ere 70 far from grie-
vances that they are real advantages, time
alone mott difcover.
