283 attitude of the colonies, Parliament and people together chap. resolved to crush sedition before granting justice. The ^JJ^ power that had so lately humbled France, and become 1768. mistress of mankind, scorned the idea of armed resistance from feeble provincials, and thought to crush out liberty itself by a display of force. But England forgot that the great minister, whose genius had compassed her supre- macy, was the firmest friend of the principles she now hoped to subdue, and of the pe...ople she sought to conquer. His mighty mind had sunk beneath the weight of empire, and in a sad condition, almost of imbecility, he still re- tained the seals to be but a cipher in his cabinet. His wisdom could no longer guide the councils of the king, nor his energy direct the prosperity of the nation. Eng- land had forgotten, too, that a long series of desperate conflicts on the western continent had trained her trans- atlantic subjects to the use of arms. Nor did she under- stand the spirit of unanimity that could not only quell a protracted feud in her smallest colony, but which every- where pervaded her excited provinces.
