what would be the tfcSi of that independency ? t cannot fer' into futurity bat it is big with many polSble evils. - Indepen dency, with a cordial love between us, is one thing; with an uotun with oar enemies fatal. From rheir independency a dan ger arifej from a great naval power; a danger alfo to our other pofleifioAS. I do not think that we mould yield to itv till our refource are much lowered. Independency is not beneficial to America. She cannot be to happy, fo eaiy, perfonal liberty, as if (he remains dependent on us.- -Ifinde- pendent, (he rnuft be loaded with heavy burthens-, snore heavy Man (he had ; her perfonal liberty will not be fo great. Her prefent fitoarion, as compared with ours, is ten times more grievous. Her farmers are ruined ; when all the neceflaries of life fell at prices the molt high, they are compelled to ieil the produce of their land at a fmall price in comparif.-n. 1 was af fored that at Albany, tea, a neceffUry article tjicre, f W a 16 dollars per pound; at fait at 30 dollars per bujhel. Thinking that men in this &taation will be inclined to peave u; cn j oft and reafonabJe terms, I move the houfe for leave to bring in two bills. Sec. Ac. Draughts of the two bills were accordingly brought i. by his lord (hip, which will be inferred in our next, together wth the ielo iucichs of Congiei on the matter.
