Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

I shall conclude with a short Address, (but with a great deal of sencerity) to doom Bur---on and his Ulceration Presbyterians, desiring the next Day, they dedicate to Liberty and St. Patrick; and at the end of their Chorus, he will make a Proclamation, as with the sound of a Ram’s-Horn, begging and intreating those that murdered the Indians, to surrender themselves up to Justice: Pray their Neighbours to take warning by them, confessing his hearty sorrow for his being the Author or better of such a horrid Crime, promising in the most sollid Manner that he will never prostitute his Pen to such villianous Purposes more; pray that the Quakers will forgive, and pass by, acknowledging that he wrote by no other Motion than the spirit of Lucifer, and declare that his Will and Pleasure is; that whoever has this spurious Letter, that he will commit it to the Flames. Amen. “And then we may expect to feel the happy Effects resulting from Liberty and Law; to see the Quiet of the Province restored, and Harmony and good order of Government re-established among us.”
