Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Interesting Correspondence Between His Excellency Governour Sullivan and Col. Pickering: In Which the Latter Vindicates Himself Against the Groundless Charges Made Against Him Sir, I yesterday had yours of the 9th instant. It was sent to me from the post-office. I had intended to have neglected your letters in the post-office, merely because I would avoid being drawn into an epistolary controversy by a man, who from his situation can better pursue it, and from his inclination and habits can better attend to it than I can: but the letter was brought by the post-boy, and I opened it. I cannot but pity the chagrin with which the propriety of my conduct in returning unread, your former letter, has involved you. I will first notice your ungentlemanlike, insidious, and even profane remarks on the proclamation I have issued for a day of publick fasting and prayer. Your professions to have read that production with pleasure can never be considered as founded in sincerity, while you are evidently attempting to disturb and subvert the devotion of all the men, who are engaged in commerce, of all who are engaged in the fisheries, and consequently of all who depend upon commerce for a market for the produce of their lands: and in fact to destroy the temper of mind, which the day has a claim to; and which the circumstances of the country afford to it. When I invited the people to pray for a blessing on their enterprizes by sea and land, I did not expect that this would be improved to urge them to sedition and rebellion against the government of the nation, if an embargo or any other restriction upon or regulation of trade should be deemed necessary as a measure of national safety, you cannot but observe that the introductory part of that draft is on general publick principles, and that our peculiar situation at this time is very slightly touched upon.
