where he has been more enthusiastically received

ward three others were associated with him, and
letters signed by them were addressed the other
Colonies. A few days after this, geo citizens
sent instructions to their Representatives, claiming
freedom from all taxation except that imposed BY
themselves, and the right of trial by jury without
appeal:
Thus New-York led the way to the repeal OF the
Stamp Act, which was finally effected through the
eloquence Of the elder Pitt-an eloquence, said
Mr.. Bancroft, equal TO thar OF Demosthenes, and
far above that of Cicero, whose oratory, compared
with that of Pitt is feeble as is the withe beside
the cable along which runs the electric fire from
chain 10 chain.
In the same way Mr.. Bancroft traced the oppo-
sition of New-York to the law declaring that she
should furnish supplies for the British troops
going farther in this than Massachusetts. Towns
end again declared that his scheme Of revenue was
absolutely necessary, and again the subject was
brought before the House of Commons. 1t was
determined that New-York should be shorn Of her
Legislative powers, until she should submit and
provide support for the army as required. In this
Townsend overcame the opposition both of Burke
and Grenville; and Mr.. Bancroft read passages
from the debates on these questions which ne said
had never before been published in America.
10 show how this law was received in New
York, Mir. 3. read from letter of Mr.. Living ston
apassage declaring that the Colonies had no cause
for discouragement-that before seven years should
roll round, the cornerstone of the American Re-
public would be laid. And seven years from that
date did seethe meeting of the American Congress
in Philadelphia.
The Legislature promptly asserted their rights
taking higher ground than had been ever before as
sumed, and declaring that the Legislature had a
rotcer Of IT. oun, in which tie King WAS repre-
sented I; and that Il could not be aanuUed By any
poseer, authority or prsrogaties rhatever. They
evaded the law requiring supplies for the army BY
passing similar law for themselves.
Mr. Bancroft said he would now bring forward
fact in connection with this subject which never
before had been published. In 1853 the other
colonies agreed to adopt the non-impertaton law,
passed by New York in l765, agreeing to inpor,
nothing from England, until the stamp act should
be repealed. They agreed TO forego their bust
ness, and let their ships decay rather than contri-
butte to commerce which was enslaving the coun-
try. The articles which they were TO continue to
import would net amount TO more than one-seventh
of VIVA; they were before and now, said Dir.
Bancroft, let US see how these promises were kept.

lions the force of Statute Law Against this out
right establishment of despotism in America, New
York and other colonies loudly protested and here
begins the first great collision between England
and her colonies, and 1t began in Netc- YORK.
The enforcement of this Law by the Governor of
New-York was steadily resisted by the Assembly,
and the Governor was forced TO yield.
Still the purpose was not given up Pownal
came to NewYork as Governor, at the very time
when FRANKLIN, the true parent of American
Liberty, limited at union of the Colonies. The
Governor then repeatedly told Hutchinson
that Independence al hand but the lat
ter thought this quite impossible, though he soon
found out his mistake. On the 9th of April, 1854,
Townsend retired from the Board of Trade In
l76l, after the accession of George Ill, he was
appointed Secretary of War, then highly mpor-
tant post; and on the 1st of March, 1863, he wa.
suddenly transferred to the head of tue Board of
Trade, station which he held but fifty days
though those days were eventful for Eng
land, for America, and for the world
year or two passed away, aud Sir Danvers
Osborne was appreciated Governor. And then q
law was framed under the advice of Charles
Townsend, as he himself has boosted, for raising
a permanent rersDue from the Colonies By the
bare authority Of the Groom. The elder Wal
pole strongly opposed it, but j, passed. Gov. o.
borne consulted his Council as to whether it could
be enforced upon the people of New-York. He
was told that it would be impossible and, lack
ing forti,ude to enter upon collision with the
people, he committed suicide.
The British Minister at this time desired to
maintain twenty regiments in America, to keep
her in dependence. But this would create twenty
Colonies and would thus give twenty Members Of
Parliament to the Ministry. How to reconcile
this to the landed interest of England to prevent
complaints from that quarter, was problem, for
the solution of which Charles Townsend was
placed ct the head Of the Board OF Trade. We
have the authority Of Burke, well as of letters
which Mr.. Bancroft said were in his possession,

ground of his scheme, that teas possible TO raise
