As military opposition against Great Britain

tTiat Tim person, unanimously,
selected by Congress was Georob Wasiiinq

of NeW England, because they felt-that the

Geh. Ward; hchadbeen in the French war,
and had-come out leader with laurels.' He
was a scholar and:gentleman., All the quali

confidently believed, the army cbuld'not re

was'to be done? Difficulties thickenfed* at

objected, and some'feared; .His warmth
mpunted'withtho.occasion,.and to, all .these
doubts and hesitations he replied, ‘Gentle
men, if this . Congress, will not adopt this
army, before ten moons have set. Ne w Eng
land-will have a pongress of her own, which
will adopt it, and she, 'she will undertake to
struggle alone; yes, with a strong prm and a
clcar conscience, will front the foe alone.?—:
This had the desired effect. They, saw New'
England, was not paying, and.'was .not to be
played with; they agreed to appoint a day;..
The day was fixed. .It capm. Mr. Adams
went, took the floor, urged the measure, and,
after debate, it passed. , Tim next thing was
to .get a' lawful commander for this ' lawful
army, with supplies, &c. All looked'to Mr.
Adams on this occasion and he was ready.
