we would, be
deceived by it. Brutality and tyranny appear on the face of it. It
leaves us at no loss: And every line convinces, even in the moment of
reading, that He, who hunts the woods for prey, the naked and untutored
Indian, is less a Savage than the King of Britain.

Sir John Dalrymple, the putative father of a whining jesuitical piece,
fallaciously called, "THE ADDRESS OF THE PEOPLE OF _ENGLAND_ TO THE
INHABITANTS OF _AMERICA_," hath, perhaps, from a vain supposition, that
the people here were to be frightened at the pomp and description of a
king, given, (though very unwisely on his part) the real character of
the present one: "But" says this writer, "if you are inclined to pay
compliments to an administration, which we do not complain of,"
(meaning the Marquis of Rockingham's at the repeal of the Stamp Act)
"it is very unfair in you to withhold them from that prince by WHOSE
_NOD ALONE_ THEY WERE PERMITTED TO DO ANY THING." This is toryism with
a witness! Here is idolatry even without a mask: And he who can calmly
hear, and digest such doctrine, hath forfeited his claim to rationality
an apostate from the order of manhood; and ought to be considered as
one, who hath not only given up the proper dignity of man, but sunk
himself beneath the rank of animals, and contemptibly crawl through the
world like a worm.

However, it matters very little now, what the king of England either
says or does; he hath wickedly broken through every moral and human
obligation, trampled nature and conscience beneath his feet; and by a
steady and constitutional spirit of insolence and cruelty, procured for
himself an universal hatred. It is NOW the interest of America to
provide for herself. She hath already a large and young family, whom
it is more her duty to take care of, than to be granting away her
property, to support a power who is become a reproach to the names of
men and christians--YE, whose office it is to watch over the morals of
a nation, of whatsoever sect or denomination ye are of, as well as ye,
who, are more immediately the guardians of the public liberty, if ye
wish to preserve your native country uncontaminated by European
corruption, ye must in secret wish a separation--But leaving the moral
part to private reflection, I shall chiefly confine my farther remarks
to the following heads.

First. That it is the interest of America to be separated from Britain.

Secondly. Which is the easiest and most practi
