Julv 23, 1808. ts. Washington, (Georgia) Printed weekly for Sarah Hillhousr . Letter of Dr. FRANKLIN. Philadelphia, July io, 1776. fafely the letters IJMplordfhip so kindly forwarded and beg you to accept my xßßfefficial dispatches to which yoOfet# contain nothing more J than wh we had seen in the ad j of parliament viz. offers of pardon upon fujmiflion ; which 1 was fur ry as it must give your lordfnip pain to be sent so far cn so j hopeless a business. DireCfing pardous to be offered to the colonies, who are the very persons injured, exprtffes, indeed, that opinion of our ignorance, bale, nefi, and insensibility, which your uninformed and proud nation has long been pleased to entertain of us; J but it can have no other effe Ct than I < that of increasing our resentments. { It is impoffibie we should think of fubmiffiion to a government that has with the moft wanton barbarity j and cruelty, burnt our defenceless towns, in the midst of winter; ex cited the savages to massacre our peaceful faimers, atjd our slaves to murder their masters , and is even now bringing foreign mercenaries ; to deluge our settlements in blood. I These attrocious injuiies have ex- 1 tinguifhed every spark of affection ! for that parent country w e once held ] so dear; but were it possible for us ; to forgive them, is it possible for 1 you, I mean the British nation, to , forgive the people you have so heav- j ily injured ? You can never confide j again in those fellow fubjeCts, and 1 permit them to enjoy equal freedom \ to whom, you know, you have giv en such just causes of lading enmi ty ; and this must impel you, were we again under your government, to endeavour the breaking of our j spirit, by the severest tyranny, and | obftruCfing, by every means in your i power, our growing strength and profperiiy. But your lordflup mentions “the king’s paternal solicitude for pro ! moting the establishment of lading peace and union with the colonies.” If by peace is here meant a peace to be entered into by diftinft states row rt war, and his majesty has given your lordfnip power to treat of such a peace, I may venture to fay tho* without authority, that I think a treaty for that purpose is not impracticable, before we enter into foreign alliances; but lam pea fuaded you have no such powers. Your nation, tho* by punishing those American governors, who have fomented the difeord, rebuild ing our burnt towns, and repairing ! as far as possible the mifehief done : us, -she might recover a great snare i of our growing commerce, with all ’ the advantages of that additional strength to be derived from a , frierdfhip with us, ye* I know too t well her abounding pride and de- I ficient wisdom, to believe (he will ! ever take such salutary measures. j Her fbndnefs for conquest, as a ’ warlike nation, her lust cf domia- SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 1803..^ ion, as an ambitious one; and her thirst for a gainful monopoly, as a commercial one (none of thorn legitimate causes of war) will all join to hide from her eyes every view of her true interest, and will continually goad her on in these ruinous, distant expeditions, so de finitive both of fives and oftreaf ure, that they must prove as perni > cious to her in the end as rile Cru | fades formerly were to moft ot the nations of Europe. I have not the vanity, my lord, to think of intimidating, by thus ! predicting the eff.Cts of this war; for I know it will in England have the fate of all my former predic tions, not to be believed, till the e- Venf shall verify it. Long did 1 endeavour, with un feigned and unwearied zeal to pre : serve from breaking that fine and noble China vale, the British em j pi re ;~for 1 knew, that being once : broken, the separate parts could not retain even their (hares of the ; strength and value that existed in j the whole; and that a perfect re-u ----nion of these parts could scarce over be hoped for. Your lord ’ fi.rp may probably remember the tears of joy that wet my cheeks, j when at your good sister’s in Lon j don, you once gave me expeCbi j tions that a reconciliation might j Toon lake place. I had the misfor j tune to find these expectations dif ’ appointed, and to be treated as the 1 caufeof the mifehief I was laboring jto prevent. My consolation, un ! der that groundiefs and malevolent j treatment, was, that I retained the j friendfnip of many wife and good • men in ihe country, and, amongst : the refi fome (hare in the regard of J lord Howe. | The well-founded esteem, and, ! permit me to lay, affeClion, which j I shall always have for your lordship ! make it painful for me to fee you j engaged in conducing a war, the \ great ground of which, as deferibed j in your letter, is “the necessity of | preventing the American trade from ! palling into foreign channels.” To me it seems, that neiiher the ob taining nor retaining of any trade, ; how valuable soever. is an objtCt for which men may justly spill each other’s blood; that the true and ‘ sure means of extending and fecur > ing commerce are the goodnels and ’ cheapness of commodities; and that the profits of no trade can ever be j equal to the expence of compelling | it and holding by fleets and armies, j I confider this war against us, : therfore, as both unjust and unwise; ; and I am f erfuaded that cool and i dispassionate posterity will condemn j to infamy those who advise it,, and ) that even success will not lave from \ fome degree of dishonor those who * have voluntarily engaged to con duct it. I know your great motive in com ing hither was the hope of being infrumental in a reconciliation, and believe, when you find that to ! be impoffibie on any terms given j you to propofi*, you will itlinqu sh so odious a command, and rauro Payable half yearly. to a more honorable & private sta tion. With the greatest and moft: sin cere relped, 1 have the honor to be my lord, your lord Chip’s moft o bedient humble lervant. B. FRANKLIN. Lord Viscount Howe. ■■ .
