From the Public Ledger, July 30. To the Earl of Dartmouth.
. . [1 1/3 column letter criticizing Hutchinson, Paxton and
Oliver, ending with:]
The nature of your office implies a power of healing
those differences, of amicably adjusting each subject of
complaint; by your conduct we shall see whether you actually
possess this power, for if speedy justice is rendered the
colonies, by the removal, and punishment of those heralds of
sedition, those traitors to their trust, Hutchinson, Oliver,
Paxton, and the rest of the cabal; if this be done, we shall
then know that you are in very deed American minister; if it
not be done, it will be manifest to the world, that you are
the puppet of the day, incapable to move unless some secret
hand shall touch the master wire. [signed] An American.
