must expect unii the government Of the United .
s5taios sends her Troops here, and tahos possess
SION of tbs country. There are a great many
Tories it rr uud Ihelr fathers before them wore
Tories IN the States. As for sendinga petition
10 the government Of the nit"d States That is Of
no nccoun, AT all; they have had petition upon
petition, and what have they all amounted to?
Why, 10 the waste of the paper that sci forth our
grievances. No farther Consideration has been
given to them.
The Hudson Bay Company haze all the mpor.

know to be enemies 10 our government They
are not satisfied sinh having robbed this country
of millions OF its richest furs bat they must now
rob it Of its timber, and all the most important

as have said before, if Congress does not do
