prolpeGt for liberty and every other blefling,
of any nation in the world, and to itimu-'
late them to continue and increafe their
exertions to efablnh virtue and freedom in
this glorious land of their forefathers.
1t is the confant theme of tyrants,
tories, and the forbid part of mankind,
that &C no people have virtue enough to
enjoy liberty, and therefore they mutt have
matters" This infamous doctrine has been
indufriouny propogated in America, but
happy for the people, they have generally
too much understanding to be deceived by
abfurdities which are an inGlit to humanity.

fuppoie his liberties will be fate in the
hands of tyrants for all tyrants are rob-
bers. 1t is indeed frange. and has been
matter of affonifhment to the mott leniible

world portends the decline of Europe and
the glory of America. One limb Of tyran-
ny after another will be Topped off until
freedom ihines without a cloud, ans the

few years the beit of the people in Britain
and Ireland will come to America, where
they may leave their poiterity with the
anilnating hopes thar they will from gene
ration tor generation enjoy the rights of
mankind.
"IfBrtain's rulers fhould lin conlequence
of the late oppoGtion to her tyranny be 70
infatuated as to iend more fleets and armies
to inforce her unrghteous acts, we may
then conclude, that her deitruction is draw
ing near and that America will foon dii-
lolve all connections with her old corrupt
tyrannical mother, and form government
of her own upon the pure principles of Ii
berty. This will undoubtedly be the cafe,
and therefore every one who is determined
to be freeman, ihould prepare for it. The

Mr.. THOMAS,
TPON Mr.. HIS elevation to the

MIR. THOMAS,
.TTPON Mr.. HIS elevation to the
" government of this province, he i'm
mediately iHued proclamation, declaratory
Of his intention to encourage virtue and
piety to the utnof of his power. With
this declaration | propofe, after the man.
rer of PHILALETHEs, to reconcile his con-
duct during the laft FELTON, of the General
Alembly.
When the Houfe of Representatives i'm
peached Judge for bribery, sc. before the
Governor and Council, he denied the au-
thority of the Governor and Council to try
faid Judge for fuch crimes as he was &C
cuied of !; and when the two Houies had
fully proved this point he, aniwering by
an act of power, prorogued the Court.
Another proof of the uniformity of his
conduct is, his refufng his aHent to Bill
for preventing Bribery, in the election of
Representatives though copied, MUTATIS
MUTANDIS, from an act of the Britifh
parliament, for whom he has always pro-
tefled the greatef veneratior, and upon
whole account, it is pretended, that the
late Propagation took place. As he has
aligned no reafon for thele parts of his
conduct, every one who chuies may invei-
tigate them. 1t may now be faid that he
has kept in Office man, rendered unfit for
it by an unaniwered accuiation of Bribery,
of being an enemy to the province, and of
endeavouring, as far as in him lay, to fub-
vert its civil contribution. But is his re-
fuiing to condemn vindicating him.
felf Who can blame him for not trying
the Judge ! Every man ought to fuPPort
his own reputation and " charity cover
eth multitude of fins" So true friend
is he to the province, that from regard to
its laws and contribution, he hrft fuppreiied
a remembrance, and afterwards refufed to
hear an impeachment for crimes in which
the very ehence of HIGH TREASON, againft
the province confifts. To the fame reafon
may his rejecting the Bill againit Bribery
be referred For fome Of his favourites
would never be elected, ihould fuch law
obtain And he has no other need of fa-
vourites, than to keep his FIFTEEN HUN
DRIED POUNDS STERLING per annum.-
Compaflion for GUS fellow men is, think,
among the chrifian virtues. That
Mr.. H. is poleiIed of it, at leaf 70 far, as
it tends to encourage luxury, Incidence, and
OTHER VIRTUES, he has proved by re-
fuling his aAent to the Bill prohibiting
Slavery. Hence it appears that his bcha-
viour has been perfectly confident with his
eclaration.-However, it is necehary to
obfcrve, that by virtue he meant Venality,
Corruption, Bribery, Injuftice and Cruelty.
