BOSTON, June 27.
The many acts of cruelty committed by the tories, and the numberless barbarities exercised by the British upon our innocent friends in this country, are too shocking for the powers of description: Turn where you will, the distressed widow and fatherless infant pour out their melancholy tales to wound the feelings of humanity.
Americans resent the insult! Call up the spirit of Hamilcar, lead your sons to the altar, and make them swear eternal enmity to Tories and the British nation.
