IT is now an established principle in Great Britain that we are subject to the people of that country, in the same manner as they are subject to the Crown. They expressly call us their sub jects. The language of every paultry scribler, even of those who pretend friendship for us in some things, is after this lordly stile, our colonies our western dominions our plantations our islands our subjects in America our authority our government with many more of the like imperious expressions. Strange d...octrine, that we should be the subjects of subjects, and liable to be con- trouled at their will! It is enough to break every measure of pa tience, that fellow subjects should assume such power over us. They are so possessed with the vision of the plenitude of their power, that they call us rebels and traitors for denying their au thority. If the King was an absolute monarch and ruled us ac cording to his absolute will and pleasure, as some kings in Europe do their subjects, it would not be in any degree so humiliating and debasing as to be governed by one part of the King s subjects who are but equals.
