It was first read with alarm, but recovering from the first shock its arguments nourished the reader's feel- ings, appealed to his pride, reanimated his hopes and satisfied his understanding. The unknown author was hailed by the people (for everybody read it) as an angel sent from heaven to save all from the horrors of slavery by his timely, powerful and unerring counsels. " When "Common Sense" arrived in Albany the con- vention of New York was in session. George Scott, a leading member, alarme...d at the boldness and novelty of its arguments, mentioned his fears to several of his dis- tinguished colleagues, and suggested a private meeting in the evening for the purpose of preparing an answer. They accordingly met, and Mr. McKesson read the pamphlet through. At first it was deemed both neces- sary and expedient to answer it without delay, but cast- ing about for the requisite arguments they concluded to adjourn and meet again. In a few evenings they reas- sembled, but so rapid was the change of opinion in the Action by the Colonies 17 colonies at large in favor of independence, and at a loss for answer, they agreed not to oppose it.
