"For like as we are compelled by the British constitution book to acknowledge that subjects must submit themselves to their monarchs, and be obedient to them in all things:
"So we are forbid by our Federal executive to say that we are at all influenced by our treaty with France, or to pay regard to what it enforceth:
"The American was created for the Briton, and the Briton for the American:
"And yet the American shall be a slave to the Briton, and the Briton the tyrant of the American.
"And Britons are of three denominations, and yet only of one soul, nature, and subsistency:
"The Irishman of infinite impudence:
"The Scotchman of cunning most inscrutable:
"And the Englishman of impertinence altogether insupportable:
"The only true and honorable gentlemen of this our blessed country.
"He, therefore, that would live in quiet, must thus think of the Briton and the American.
