it is wtll known that they continued their
exports to ibe mother country fur nearly
a year after they ceased (o innpurt, and
even after hostilities were commencetl.
flad independence been at that time their
settled object, it would have been mad

and retaining the supplies necessary for
defence.
Dr. Ramsay further states :—“Tho*
new weight was daily thrown into tho
scah', in which the advantages of indc-
petidetice were weighed, yel it did not
pre|)ondorate till about that time in 1776,
when itiielligente reached the colonists of
the act of parliament passed in Decem
ber, 177.5, I'or throwing them out of Brit
ish protection, anti of hiring foreign
troops to assist in eflTecting their con
quest.” This act was well calculated tc»
turn the fcale, and il did so. But near
I'.cvm months belore it tas passed, thcs
Mpckknhvrfi; Ikclaration was made. And
this declaration was made too, before tho
famous pamphlet, under the signaturo
of“ C'omn>on Sense,” to which so muck
iiillucnce has been attributed, was either
written or jiublishcd.

But so long as American Indepcndenco
