FfVTH /i» 'PoiOWMAC GITARDI AN. 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.
