That there never was a more infamous Rebellion than the American One, is on all Hands admitted, by every Friend to his King and Country; how highly then ought those Wretches to be publickly and universally detested, who, void of every Principle of Honour, could meanly, for two Years past, by their own Confession, pay a miserable Scribbler the Wages of Corruption, for reviling, in a Morning Paper, the Friends of Government, and defending the wicked Cause of the Rebels; and now combining, with the worst of Traitors, to distress the Kingdom, and frustrate the laudable Endeavours of Administration to support its Honour against the infamous Attempts of a Gang of Congressional Tyrants.
