Parliament Mischief Breeder.
 The government at home kept colo nial sentiment very busy. Even Lord Rockingham's government, with Burke to admonish it. coupled it's repeal ot the stamp duties with "declaratory act" which sought to quiet controver- sy by giving the lie direct to every argument urged against its authority in the colonies. Parliament has pow CT to bind the colonies in all cases whatsoeyer," was its round assertion: "a resolution for England's right to do what the treasury pleased with Chatham.
 Though Rockingham's government would not act oq that right. its sue cessors would without scruple; and they were soon about 1t, for Rocking hams ministry retained office scarcely a twelvemonth. Grenyille was. in deed. discredited; but Grafton and Townshend were as bad, as stubborn in temper, as reckless in policy.
 More Taxes for the coIonists.
 The year 1767 saw taxes proposed and enacted on glass, paper, painters cclors, and tea imported into the col- onies. with a purpose to pay fixed salaries to the crowns officers fu the colonies out of the proceeds; and the | contested ground was all to go over again.
 To show their temper. the new min isters suspended the legislative pow ! CTS of the Colonial Assembly in New York for refusing to make provision ] for troops quaTtered upon the colony. To complete their fiscal arrangements ] they presently created a custom-house 1 and board of revenue commissioners i for America.
 It was an ominous year. and set l opinion forward not 2 little in the col onies.
 Protests from the 5urgesses.
 The House of Burgesses broke. st it's next session l76sD, into fresh pro tests and remonstrances. and there | was no one to restrain or rebuke it. Fauquier was dead, and gone to his 1 reckoning; the reins of government were in the hands of gentle John | Blair, president of the council, Vir- ginian every inch, and with never a thought of checking his fellnw-colo- p.sts in the expression of their just opinion.
 The autumn brought Lord Bote- tourt, the new governor-general, who came ia sis:Wy state. and with genial display of courtIy manners and good feeling; but his arrival made little diff. ference. The Burgesses smiled to see him come to open their session of 1769 with pageant of coach and six brave display of royal insignia, and the manner of a sovereign meeting Parliament; and turned from him al most in contempt to denounce once | more the course of the ministers argne again the rights of America. de. clare they would draw the colonies together in concerted opposition. and call upon the other colonies to concur with them alike in their principles and in their purpose.
 Out With the Governor.
 Botetourt came hot foot to dissolve them; but they only shifted their place of meeting. gathered again al the private house of Mr. Anthony Hay and there resolved no longer to i'm port the things which Parliament had taxed in despite of them. George Ma son had drawn the resolutions, al Washington's request, and Washing ton himself presented them Mason's thought had hastened verJ far along the path of opposition under the whip of EngIand's policy; and Washington's quite as far. The government had not only senf troops to Boston and dissolved ever, assembly that protested, but had ad
 vised the king tc press prosecutions for treason in the colonies. and
