Thanks for your patience during our recent outage. 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.
SINCE I wrote the foregoing, I have had the Pleasure of seeing in print the DECLARATION and REMONSTRANCE of the Frontier-Counties. From thence it is evident, That the People have long suffered great Hardships, and with as much Patience as any of their Neighbours would have done, the Quakers by no Means excepted; who have, on every Occasion, manifested much greater Impatience, and less Fortitude of Spirit, if only their political Schemes have been vigorously oppos’d.
IT will appear that the Frontier Inhabitants have been both loyal and peaceable Members of Society, and do not now plead for Favours, but Justice; nor strive for Pre-eminence, but their essential Rights, and a moderate Equality.
AND I presume it will be obvious, that whoever endeavours to oppress and deprive them of their Rights, act partially, and maliciously, and aim to drive them to Extremities, then accuse them of what they, in a Manner, forced them to do, and, it would seem, desired they might do.-----Let but real Grievances, such as none can pretend to deny, be removed; and let plain Justice be done, and the People will be as quiet and peaceable Members of the Community as heretofore.
IN a Word, let but all just Causes of complaint be taken away, and then let them be punish’d if they make a Noise
