| Transcript | Extract of a Letter from Charles-Town, South Carolina, November, 18. "Our new Assembly has met: twenty-five Members have taken their seats, and the Governor yesterday gave them a speech, to which an answer is preparing. The measures taken with Boston do not tend to excite a good spirit in the other Colonies: from my soul I wish that unbiased good men would take the trouble truly to represent the circumstances and temper of the Colonists: they have been most grossly abused by misrepresentations. Proper attention and indulgences will all tend to enrich the parent state, and there is still room for an early conciliation. A bill of rights for America, such as the British constitution will admit of, would have the most salutary effects. We are represented as rebellious and disaffected, while we abhor some, and most heartily despise all that are suspected of disaffection or pretended loyalty, and these are not the native Americans, but a people imported from the North. |
