The Newport Gazette

Paragraph of a Letter from a Gentleman in Philadelphia.

"I wish to have it communicated to our friends in Boston, that the Tories in Philadelphia, industriously circulate to their disadvantage, that there are few Whigs in that once eminently patriotic Metropolis; and many Gentlemen, who are Friends to the Cause, credit the Report: as good authority, that the Tories take Possession of the most public Places, and with great Assurance express their Sentiments to the Disadvantage of our Cause."

Will this be suffered by a People who have hazarded every Thing and suffered so much in Support of this Right? Will they tamely submit to be insulted and degraded by Persons whose Conduct it is Acknowledged by those whose Measures they approve, to be unnatural and disgraceful to human Nature? Surely not. I hope soon to hear that at a Meeting in Faneuil-Hall, it is determined to follow the Example of Baltimore; and that Boston is cleared from every Tory or suspicious Character in this Place.—This alone can make it happy, and as respectable as it once was, and ought always to remain.
