The New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

NEW YORK, December 31, 1783.

The insincere and flattering paragraphs which have appeared in the papers lately published by the infamous tools of British administration, are, in every point of view, quite disgusting, and excite in the minds of honest readers, the idea of the devil's falling down and worshipping the Saviour of mankind.

A few months since, the papers printed in this city, by the base hirelings of his Britannic Majesty, teemed with the most vile, opprobrious epithets against his Excellency General Washington, and the gentlemen who distinguished themselves in the cause of America; they are now filled with the most servile adulation.

The Royal Gazette has frequently styled General Washington, "The Murderer of Andre:" and we have recent instances of its time-serving publisher practising every artifice to render him odious and contemptible.

A certain obnoxious printer, who, not many months since, execrated the idea of a republican government, may look upon the attack that was made on his house last Friday night as a prelude to what he may expect.

The exiled whigs present their most respectful compliments to Messrs. Anti-republicans, and beg leave to inform these gentlemen, that in the public papers no hints respecting obnoxious characters will be given in future. The whigs are determined that those who have been enriching themselves under the mild and wise government of George the Third, shall never live peaceably in New York: therefore take the liberty to inform those steady adherents to British government, that the friends to America are adopting measures to sweep off Tories, which will answer a much better purpose than hints:—Trouble is nigh.
