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.

The DISTRESSES of the FRONTIERS, and the COMPLAINTS and SUFFERINGS of the PEOPLE fully stated; and the Methods recommended by the wisest Nations; in such Cases, seriously consider’d.
WITH SOME REMARKS upon the NARRATIVE, Of the Indian-Massacre, lately publish’d.
Interspers’d with several interesting Anecdotes, relating to the MILITARY GENIUS, and WARLIKE PRINCIPLES of the People call’d QUAKERS: Together-with proper Reflection and Advice upon the whole.
In a LETTER from a GENTLEMAN in one of the Back-Counties, to a FRIEND in Philadelphia.
------- ------- Si tibi vera videtur, Dede Manus; et, si falta est, accingere contra. ------- LUCRET.
The impious Man who sells COUNTRY’s FREEDOM, Makes all the Guilt of Tyranny his own. ------- His are her SLAUGHTERS, her OPPRESSIONS His. ------- MARTYN’s TIMOLEON.
Whoever will pretend to govern a People without regarding them, will soon repent it.---Such feats of Errantry may do perhaps in asia:---But in countries where the People are FREE, it is Madness to rule them against their Wills.---They will know that Government is appointed for their Sakes, and will be saucy enough to expect some Regards and some Good from their own DELEGATES.---Those Nations who are govern’d in Spite of themselves, and in a Manner that bids Defiance to their Opinions, their Interests, and their Understanding, -----are either SLAVES, or will soon cease to be SUBJECTS. CATO’s LETTERS.
PHILADELPHIA: Printed by A Steuart, and sold by JOHN CREAIG, shop-keeper in Lancaster. 1764.
