Event Details
So spirited have been the memorials already sent to the American Congress, on behalf of the Loyalists, that there is great reason to think the most happy consequences will be the result, & that the American Legislators will see the justice as well as wisdom of relaxing their rigour against a set of men who have been consistent and uniform in their conduct, however unfortunate—a character that should recommend men even to their most inveterate enemies, in preference to those who, being too lukewarm openly to take any side, have been able in due time to lean that way which their own interest pointed to. There are numbers of persons of that description now fostered in America, and even admitted into posts of importance, while those more worthy characters, who have always acted in a consistent opposition to American authorities, have such outrageous anathemas pronounced against them.
