The country was much stirred by
the prospect OF a general congress of
committees" at Philadelphia: and the
delegates from Massachusetts were
greeted as they passed even more gen.
erously than the rest. because their
people had been the first to suffer in
this bad business; because their
chief port at Boston was closed. and
relocated sentries were on their
streets.
It behooved the MASSACHUSETTS men.

be misled. Many looked upon them

provoked the massacre" of which

they threw the tea into their harbor
to show the government their spirit.
