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.

Is this extortion in the Quakers? I leave the Candid Reader to judge. Or doth it shew the Menonists to be a simple people? No; it’s evident that the Menonists, were a compassionate people, not regardless of their fellow Creatures sufferings, and willing to contribute towards their Support. (observe) here is a positive Assertion, when he sayeth---”Nay with the most matchless impudence, insenuated to the Indians, that they were Rulers and Governors.” (Well let us hear his proop:) As plainly appeared, at the late Treaty at Lancaster, where the principal Chief “and Speaker told Mr. H-------n, then Governor, that as he understood there were two Governors in the province, he would be glad to know which he was to Treat with.” In Case
