To the betrayed inhabitants of the city and colony of New-York : My dear fellow citizens and countrymen, In a day when the minions of tyranny and despotism in the mother country, and the colonies, are indefatigable in laying every snare that their malevolent and corrupt hearts can suggest, to enslave a free people.

General note | "This letter, attacking the grant of money by the Assembly for the support of the troops, and suggesting a meeting in opposition to the bill, was declared by the majority in the Assembly to be 'a false, seditious and infamous libel,' and the Lieutenant Governor issued a proclamation offering a reward of one hundred pounds for the discovery of the author. ... In February, 1770, James Parker was arrested and acknowledged himself to be the printer, and Alexander McDougall to be the author. And on February 8th, 1770, Captain McDougall was arrested and imprisoned."--Evans. |
