If Great Britain thus wifely improves the natural advantages of North- America, me will foon reap fufficient fruit for her expences of cultivating it : but (he muft certainly be a lofer, in proportion to any unconftitutional attempt excited by falfe views, againft the natural rights and chartered pri vileges of the colonifts.

Whether the colonifts are large in their Britifh imports, or are forced to more domeftic frugality on account of the late fevere reftraints upon their trade, thefe fophifts declare them to be rivals in trade, and devote them to deftrucYion.

At the very worft, they can keep the wolf of want from their doors. They are fo happily fituated, as to have far lefs real demands for gold and filver than any other civilized, increafmg body, of ipeople.

It is a pity, that before they thought of hunger and phle botomy for the fuppqfed unfound Americans, they had not duly confidered the folid rea r onings and unanfwerable arguments of the very worthy, upright patriot, John Dickenfon, Efq; and other American gentlemen, and the fpeeches and publications of forae patriots at home.
