serious troubles, IN the very outset Of
its existence.

OF the Parliament OF England, became
a united nation. The mother country
exhibited Willingness 20 institute the
new order Of things that should have
excited suspicion IN the minds Of
these colonies; but it seems 10 have
gradually become apparent TO them,
that union only deyolved upon them
the expenses of government, without
securing independence or other com
peusatoTy advantages.
Soon after occurred the elections
Of members Of the popular house Of
Parliament. They were characterized
by unusual bitterness and Violence
Personalities, OF kind tina. would not
