MR. WILLIS,
I CONFESS I can no longer restrain
n>y amazement at the cowardice
and base fpiritednels of us Ameri
cans. What! let the Britijb, a con
quered enemy, who heretofore was
but a mouthful for us, now insult
us—injure us—hang us like Tories !
Ah me, Mr. Willis ! if my neigh
bour, Cornelius Waterspout, or my
trusty friend Slop-top, were at the
helm of affdirs, we would have other
guess work o'nt—But no odds, some
of them are determined to offer their
Mr. Willis—the nation of
Great-Britain—found it, * Sir—ls it
more harmonious than the nation of
the United States ?—The Fleet of
Great-Britain—compare it—is it
more numerous, or more powerful,
than the Fleet of the United States ?
And as to our armies, experience
prpves what vast bodies of valiant
heroes we can mutter. And now,
S.ir, all true Patriots cry WAR—War
with Britain. The necessity and
utility of WAR, 1 shall evince, by a
few arguments which cannot be
evited.
As ift, all good governments have
found it necessary to their well be
ing, to prevent the introduction of
an over proportionate quantity of
riches—well knowing that riches
introduce luxury, sloth, effeminacy.
To engage in war hath been found
an excellent expedient to prevent
this—now the Americans being amaz
ing wealthy, possessing vast riches,
and moreover, being in great dan
ger of falling into the foremention
ed evils, it becomes highly neceflary
that they fliould be impoveriihed—
and that by engaging in WAR—
For that this is almost the sole end
and proper effei.l of War, is plain ;
and yet it is equally plain, that this
defiratle end will not he accom
plished anick enough, by the present
Indian War—hence the neceffiiy of
WAR with Britain.
The neceflity of War wiayalfo be
argued from the neceflity of certain
individuals amongst us. Many of
our mercantile gentlemen, have
been unfortunate in trade : they
have contracTted debts with BritiJb
merchants, which they are now un
able to pay ; but War will pay Bri
lijh debts. Men of courage and en
terprizing spirit will make rave
work amongthe enemy's merchant
ftiips. They will repair their for
tunes—reftore the honour of their
infnlted country —add to this, Sir,
that honour, national honour—calls
loudly for W AR.
Further, Sir—WAR would lower
the present enormous price of grain,
by keeping it in the country ; the
Farmers would be reduced to reason,
and we would be equally well ferv
ed with European goods, considering
the great number of Prizes that
would be captured, by our men of
War and Privateers.
And now, Sir, what is the proper
inference from all this ?—Why, let
us gird our swords oil our thighs,
and smite our enemies, the Britijh.
Let us conquer Ca.nada, and fubjedt
Nova-Scotia ; like the great RAM in
Daniel's, vision let us pufli North
'ward and Southward, and Eajtward
and IVeftviard. We are hampered
in our pofleflions—our population
is too great for our terrirory. Let
our Grand Fleet block up tlie ene
mies in port, while hundreds of our
privateers cover the ocean, and re
turn lately home, laden with the
spoils of our adversaries ; and, let
us never return our swords into their
scabbards, until we have fofficiently
humbled the little foot} iflaxdof Bri
tain ; and ellablifhed the liberty of
our great good friends the French—
For alas ! without us they can do
nothing.
1 am, Sir, yours, &c.
