would be no sooner Signed, & the British Navy disarmed & laid up, when Millions of Incendiaries, Assassins & Disorganisers would come over from France, who with the Assistance of your own Traitors & Mob, would quickly overturn the British Constitution, & commit as many Violences & Massacres in the Name of Liberty & Equality & the Rights of Man, as have taken Place in France for these eight years past. Your People complain loudly of the War, which indeed must be burdensom, but they have a thousand times more Reason to be afraid of a Peace, of which they would complain in vain, when the Government that might have defended them, is overturned by the French. Where is now the Republic of Holland, Venice, Genoa & Geneva, the Austrian Provinces of the Netherlands, & most of the States of Italy? All are ruined by having made Peace with the French. Yet your Patriots are eager to bring your Country into the very same Condition. Where is the Republic of the United States, which has shown such a gross Partiality to the French Republic? It is, as you see, abused, insulted, plundered & threatened by that very Nation to which our People have sacrificed the Interests of their own Country. What Charms then can your People see in a Peace with the French, who have never yet made Peace with any Nation, except on the Terms of absolute Submis The Kingdoms of Spain & Portugal are now in the same State of Vassalage to the French as the European Republics, & the Swiss Cantons at last are threat. ened with the same fate. Great Britain alone is free from their Insults, but it will be no longer free than it continues the War, & supports its Navies, its only Bulwarks against the French. No Reliance can be made on a Treaty concluded with a Nation of Atheists, & we see that the Preliminary Articles of Peace with the Emperor were broken in less than a Week after they were signed, by the French laying heavy Contributions on those Provinces of Germany which they had agreed to abandon. Every thing that has happened, strongly dissuades from a Peace with the French. Yet this is the Object on which your foolish People are blindly set. It appears to me that they are under a judicial Infatuation. You gave me no Direction, either in this or your two former Letters, how to address my Letters to you, for which Reason I addressed one of them to the Care of Dr. Johnston of North Leith, not knowing but your Residence there might be merely temporary. If you direct to me at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, it will come to hand from any Port or Post Office of the United States. I should be glad to hear that your Affairs are in a better Situation, & that you have got friends to support your Interest. My Wife & family, as well as myself, are in ordinary health at present, & the yellow Fever which has raged in Philadelphia since August last, is greatly abated, so that the Citizens who had fled, are returning to their homes. Expecting to hear from you, I remain with sincere Esteem, PROPOSALS FOR COLONIAL COMMITTEES OF CORRESPONDENCE IN 1773. (From the original manuscript in the Emmet Collection, New York Public Library.) June 3d 1773 "The House of Representatives of this Province being earnestly attentive to the Controversy between Great Britain and the Colonies, And considering that the Authority claimed and exercised by Parliament on the one side, and by the general Assemblies of this Continent on the other, greatly militates and so is productive of this unhappy Contention; think it of the utmost Importance to the Welfare of both and particularly of the Colonies, that the constitutional Rights and powers of each be enquired into, delineated and fully ascertained. "That his Majesty's Subjects of America are intitled to the same Rights and Liberties as those of Great Britain; and that these ought in Justice by the Constitution, to be as well guaranteed and secured to the one as to the other; are Truths too apparent to be denied. "It is by this House humbly conceived to be likewise undeniable, that the Authority Assumed and now forceably exercised by Parliament over the Colonies is utterly subversive of Freedom in the latter; And that while his Majesty's loyal Subjects in America have the Mortification daily to see new Abridgments of their Rights and Liberties, they have not the least Security for those which at present remain. Were the Colonists only affected by a Legislative, subject to their Controul, they would even then have no other Security than belongs to them by the Laws of Nature and the English Constitution; but shou'd the Authority now claimed by Parliament be fully supported by Power or Submitted to by the Colonies, It appears to this House there will be an end to Liberty in America, and that the Colonists will then change the name of Freemen for that of Slaves. In Order to adjust and settle these important Concerns, the free and magnanimous Burgesses of Virginia have proposed a Method for uniting the Councils of it's Sister Colonies; and it appearing to this House to be a Measure very wise and Salutary is chearfully received and heartily adopted. With very great Respect to your honourable Assembly, and in Confidence that a Matter which so nearly affects the Safety of each Colony will be assisted by it's wise Councils; permit this House to inclose a Copy of the Resolutions lately entered into here, and to request that you'll Communicate the same at a Convenient Opportunity. In the Name & by order of the House I have the Honor to be with great Truth & regard THOMAS CUSHING Speaker "To the Speaker of the Honble House of Representatives of the Province of Merryland PERIODICALS RELATING TO SCIENCE (IN GENERAL) AND PUB LICATIONS OF LEARNED SOCIETIES.
