The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

From the London Gazetteer of June 26.

A short and full answer to all the writers, who
have, in the public papers, attempted to defend
the present administration.

To enter upon a detail of the sophistical
efforts to blind and delude the people,
by the letter-writers and essayists in the public
papers, would be endless. And especially the
numerous pamphlets, as well as letters, upon
the American taxation. wherein the coercive
measures have been represented as proofs of
the great ability, and ever to be admired firm-
ness and fortitude of the first M-n. whereas
let any man only read the instructions of the
Committee at Boston. dated May 11th. and
in your daily paper of June 20, if he has any
eyes, see enough to convince him of the avowed
despotism of the measures taken with a most
valuable part of the British people, I mean the
subjects of its government.

When I read them over, my breast glowed
with compassion for my Fellow-subjects, which
are only oppressed because of their being the
first friends of the Hanover succession, the
people formed upon revolution principles,and
who have ever shewn the most unshaken loy-
alty to his present Majesty. They have been
traduced and reproached as rebels. and menaced
with some thousands of armed men, who
they are able to eat up at a mouthful.
They have been insulted by a G-r, who
has the confidence to put on all the airs of des-
potism, and provoked by every possible mea-
sure in order to alienate their affections, and
fill them with enmity towards their mother-
country. Numerous are the oppressions under
which they labour. one of which, we have rea-
son to conclude, they wouldnever haveknown.
had they been such subjects as the Canadians
and Grandines. But, because they have not
that Stuartizeing. Jacobite,of Frenchified com-
plexion, have been used with so much severi-
ty !

The firmness of their Attachment to the
principles of civil and religious liberty,appears
illustrious in those instructions. The spirit they
discover, undismayed by the iron hand power
the determinations they have made not to be
enslaved, gives them a first place in the de-
partments of men upon the face of this habita-
ble globe. And there is no reason ofdoubt,but
they will.succeed, in spite of all the efforts of
despotism, to their immortal honour.

They have been represented as a people of
loose principles, and as destitute of virtue and
religion, but they give evidence, that in the
human family, if they have any equals, they
have none superior to them in true magnani-
mity. Were I in the a --n, and had been
either a principal or an accessory to their op-
pression,of which they so loudly and justly com-
plain. I should never be able to forgive. my-
self the share Ihadin the guilt, and be ashamed
any more to look in the face ofman. :
