For even Patriots will accept of Penfions if they can get them, and then exclaim molt bitterly-O Liberty, 0 my Country! .Whereas America is totally free from this Species General Muf'ter of the Forces of Taxation, as far as I am able to trace the I ‘ r I i v i l l I Immzulmm'r? Matter. MANY other Articles might have been enumerated, particularly the Reltraint formerly laid upon the Iriflz fifhing on the Banks of Newfoundland, and taken off only the laf't Seflion. But furely thefe are full enough; becaufe thefe, I hope, will fufliciently fliew, that there ought to be a wide Difierence put on, every Principle of Equity and Jul‘tice, between the Cafe of [re- land and that of flmeriea; and that the two Countries are by no Means in fimilar Circumfiances. WHAT is now to follow, is added at the Re- BOTH FOR AND AGAINST The Prefent Government. PARTIES for overturning the prejent Con/titutien, and for fetting up fonzet/znzg in its Stead, for for w/zz'c/z we have not yet a Name. xf't. HE Idle and Difiblute among the common People are for throwing the prefent Syfizem into Anarchy and Confufion. They have ardently wifhed thefe many Years, for ibme Kind of levelling Scheme whereby they might enrich tlienilelves at the Colt of their Matters, and rob and plunder with Impunity. If Mr. quef't of a foreign Nobleman, whole good Senfe and Penetration led him to difcern, that a Crifis was certainly approaching, in which the Fate of this Country will be determined; and therefore them into this Path of Glory, they willjoyfully wifhed to know, what was the Strength of each follow fuch a Leader, and become his devoted Party, and the Amount of the Forces on either Side. A WILKES, or any other modern Patriot can lead Fellow-Labourers, in the fame good Work; but if not, they will forfake him with as little Ceremony as they have done fome others, and look out for a new Leader. 2d1y. |
