PORTSMOUTH, January 18.

Mess. PRINTERS,

Please to give the following a place in your next paper, and you will oblige one of your constant customers.

YE Tories and your Tools of N. H.

at what time you hear the sound of the Bell for Town or Parish Meetings, take your selves off to the island of little Britain, and there worship your own IMAGE—and no longer trouble the land you would not lend a hand to protect:

Mess. Printers,

If the pretended subjects of N. H. appear solely to counteract and confuse, when they hear the sound of the Bell for Town or Parish Meetings, why Should they not be exposed and punished?—Send them before the Albion Calf, where they may bow down and worship at the feet of their darling fallen IMAGE, whom they wish again to set up in the land of America.
