Fowle's New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

BOSTON, March 22.

"The simple and chaste spirit of Republicanism (says a writer in the New-York Gazetteer of the 7th instant, addressing the general assembly) is daily perverting by British connections; by importing British luxuries, British fashions, British follies, and British vices.--Not only our ships, but every thing we have, must, in some way or other, be British bottomed; even our imported hair-dressers write Britain upon their signs, to recommend their pastes and powders. The politicks of Britain fill our news-papers, as if equally interesting with our own; their laws govern our courts; their sanguinary statutes hang up our citizens; and their parliamentary customs determine the forms of your honorable house. Our holy priests--I speak with reverence--are not authorised to shew us the regular steps to everlasting happiness without a British commission, as if Britain was the only medium of communication with heaven itself."
