To New-England, New York, Pennfylvdhia, and Carolina. r Dear Sifters, tEougfit it mult be the production of fome tncrny to the whole family. Under thefe im preffions, Iexpe&ed to fee you all in in uproar calling on the printer for the author. I con ceived that your own credit, as well as the re- potation of. the family, required it j but by . 'your filence . you have convinced me that it -is your; own. Ah filters! however treacheious your memories are, the. world recollects when " your Cries of murder, rape, ftarve, reverberated from pole to poleand it is with a bleeding heart I recollecYwhit numbers of' my fens felt in your defence. What can ray dear fillers wean? Why am I twitted in f he teeth with many of my" farms bet ng untenanted that I J)oa(Lof the envious, malicious raving, as (hie wethwHat ter magants my fitters are. I can telf them that fo many of my farms would nprhave been un- jreiunted,. if great numbersroriiOflasJJik jiotTeJFin their defence. And as for my be ing in debt, it. is. a proof that I have had credit little thanks areue to thofe who never, had credit that? they owe nothing. -But I fuppofe my filters WinkthiMmigd all by their -great xoildelcetilion in allowing feme rnei it to my fon George. To be fiire they lh'! I have crcdit foj that, but I can ;cll thcrn that ray Ion; Dickey, Bill and James too, are not to be brow beaten or, frightened by any of their bluftering boys. I once thought that feme of you, rriy dear fillers," were jery religious, but methinks you fcemdiTpofeS-.. t -cojnvmce"' tfie world that it is otherwifc. Your.levity, your " wit, and freedom with omnipotence, is big with THTpiery. It is bl'afphemous, and would have -efrpofetrVmltztdH to capital pu- nihment. What do, my fiiierswknt? They have fliared my bread with me when they were in want. T jaave given up" a molt important -and -Taluabie-rjartrof myafm"ioin benefit of trie whole family. Has any of my yfons tagged favours'and courted exalted places and high employment ? Where is it that the aching . heart is , throbbing for founding 'titles ? and. where does the fentiment of well born origin ate ?v Where1 is the thirit.for the diflinclion of birth and blood, which has made tyrants of a few, while the multitude drag ignominious chains ? Look at home my dear fitters, before you upbraid me. You may, if you pleafe, make a comparifon between the beft of your fons and mine durinthe conflicVwhen allur ...farms were pwferibed. -nhxW"jna:y iydX ""pleafeadd to rriy difgrace, by pubiflung a true ftate of the expenditure from each of ourpurfes to pay the public debt, and to fupport the co : partnery--This, as thing9 are now organized, i s eafi ly done,- an d Mh i s wi 1 1 ff ai r J y Ihe w wjie -ther a local, partial, and par-fimonious fpirit di,d not govern in the clamour upon the propofed' tax uponnv 1. . .
