AMERICANS. Ii would be too arduous
talk TO point out all the errors which have

will mention. Your long parlisments are
he EEes of your errors ADD corruptons, and
unefs you return TO reaf.n and nature by
continuing annual parliaments, political
death will blot ont your name as a nation.
The numerous petitioners and dependants
on the crown greatly preciPl'ate your fail F.;
thele are the natural initruments OF corrupt
ion in every fate, as they are the tools OF
arbitrary potentates and their m'nItters.
The unreifrained luxury and irTeligIon of
men in pubic uuf the many uieleis Of
6cers and exiravagant faiaries allowed to
thole who FIJI them the watt fums of mo

you are alternating the American colonIsssx:

things right in the kingdom.
AMERICANS. We have ob(erved, that
long parlilments are the fcource of your er-
rors, therefore, nothing can give you ra-
tional profpea of future haPpIneis, but an

only effsGtual means to preiervc liberty and
