Letter

We have, or rather Mr
Anthony has, an excellent letter today from a Senator
in Congress, dated the 12th, and urging us to go on in the
good work. He says _^^that probably the President will issue a
proclamation in which _^^{the People} will be threatened with government
power; _^^{and that it} is Webster’s measure. He goes on to say that we
need not be afraid of any force from Washington, whatever
may be threatened. He adds – this is not my advice
alone.

We had a very spirited _^^meeting for two
hours, this morning at the Mechanic’s Hall, commencing at
10 o’clock: _^^{there will be} another this evening at the town house.

If we give a round thumping vote next Monday, the
Tories will begin to feel like knocking under.
