What, my fellow ci izens was the situation of the American colonics previous to the declaration of war ? The answer is obvious, that the colonists were subject to a mmatchicii government, W:ioe ruler intended the establishment of an absolute tyranny over ihcm who had i closed his assent to law;, the most wholesome and necessary for the pub ic good forbidden his governors to pas laws of immediate and pressing importance unless suspen 'ed in their operation, till his ass nt should be obtained ; and when so suspended, utterly neglected to attend to the n refused to pass other law s, for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the rg'ilit of reprcsenu tion in the legislatuie. Calling together legislative bodies, at places unusual. Uncomfortable, and distant from the dc-

The choice was easily made by men who know what liberty was. and how hem firial to th.c f.uni:n 'ace must be eoual rights etui equal laws and security of our religious tenets an ! that a prince, who-e character was marked bv every act which mieht define a tyrant, was uufi to be the ;u'er
