AS AnnnmSlo all ihe on- gmat Settlers of the County qj' Fro nl'mac. Gentlemen, Friends, fellow nuflVreis, and fellow Subjects of the fin- led Kingdom of Greiit Dritain and Ireland, &c. &c. &c The bappy day is »'°"' nnf' ved, flint all our just riglilH WlB be regarded ami protected by fi.al Government and (;onsti('u. tion we liave labored so bard to- mainlain. It is true that we have suffer* ed all that men rould suffer,-* we have reduced a bowling wil¬ derness to a fertile Province— we have been insulted, robbed. and plundered, of out properly under ihe name of law, contrary to the laws of God and tlie King. Deprived of our labour-—tlie labours ot our own bauds, which is tlie^ift of God to IWen,—it is a right that no man has a ri»!it to take from us. Thus we have been insulted by men in power, unknown to the King1. But the King' ot" Kings, in Heaven, has looked down upon us. and, by lusi».>od Providence, men are sent to go¬ vern us—men in whose confi¬ dence we may rely, and rest ful¬ ly satisfied thai justice will lake place, aud the v^ ickediuss of die wicked will overtake them. Let me entreat you, one and all, to be steady and patient, to commit no violence fa defence pf wrongs, but to make your complaints known, in a peace;- bleand lawful manner, to those now sent to hear and redress ihem. it is needless, now, for any oue to riii the News papers with trash about Mr. Gourlay and the Convention of friends to enquiry : the work is done, we have carried our point, we have and ever will be loyal sub¬ jects to our king' and country, and true to those u ho have au¬ thorised us to represent then in Convention and in Parliament.
