When this is a Fact so notoriously known, is it not inconceivable that Men should still be found who are hardy enough to abet the Measures of a Set of Villains who were in actual Rebellion against one of the mildest Administrations in America, had torn down from their Seats the Judges of his Majesty's Courts of Law in this Province, severely whipped the Lawyers, Clerks, and other Crown Officers, and were in actual March for this Town with avowed Intentions of destroying an Edifice that does so much Honour to the Province, and is an Ornament to North America.
The Hearts of such Men must be callous to every Principle of Honour, Justice, or Humanity.

Event Details
We have the best Authority to inform the Publick that upwards of seven Thousand of the Regulators have come in upon his Excellency Governor Tryon's Proclamation, taken the Oaths of Allegiance, and peaceably submitted themselves to Government, and with grateful Hearts acknowledge the Goodness and Mercy of his Excellency, by whose vigorous and spirited Pursuit of the Measures of Government they have been retrieved from inevitable Destruction to themselves and Families, and rescued from the Hands of a few designing Men, who had Nothing more in View than the total Subversion of this Government. When this is a Fact so notoriously known, is it not inconceivable that Men should still be found who are hardy enough to abet the Measures of a Set of Villains who were in actual Rebellion against one of the mildest Administrations in America, had torn down from their Seats the Judges of his Majesty's Courts of Law in this Province, severely whipped the Lawyers, Clerks, and other Crown Officers, and were in actual March for this Town with avowed Intentions of destroying an Edifice that does so much Honour to the Province, and is an Ornament to North America. The Hearts of such Men must be callous to every Principle of Honour, Justice, or Humanity.
