It is equally shameful and astonishing that America after conquering all her enemies . should by withholding the necessary powers from Congress languish in disjointed poverty and thereby invite the insults of all the rascals in creation. Such inconsistent unnational conduct demonstrates the want and necessity of a MASTER; and if much longer persisted in will produce ONE. . If they have not the virtue to be freemen let them be slaves and lick the dust of a tyrant's foot. ." At the foot of the final page is a request for Massachusettsans to "instruct their Representatives" to have the "unjust or impolitick" tax on newspaper advertisements repealed. .
