NUMB. 162:
God hath most wonderfully smiled upon this country, a series of events have taken place the year past remarkably favourable to our rights; traitors have been discovered; wicked plans and deep laid schemes have been laid open and defeated, the union of the colonies strengthened, and the spirit of liberty greatly increased; the American system of freedom is completed, the military art hath made swift progress, a new tribe of Aborigines has arisen, whose warriors have already given proofs of their valour in the cause of liberty: and if the cause should require it in any future time, we doubt not but they will "take off" the enemies to this country. In short; the aspect of liberty is bright and glorious in America, the hand of God I trust is with us. and that he will cause us to tread down our enemies, and in HIS NAME we shall triumph in FREEDOM!
