coercive means which were used for their fubjugation, joined the more firmly together to brave the ftorm; and seeing that their ancient constitution was deftroyed, and that it was determined to deprive them of those rights, which they had ever been taught to revere as facred, and to deem more valuable than life itfelf, they determined at all events to preferve them, or to perish in the common ruin. In the fame manner, the other colonies, inftead of abandoning, clung the clofer to their devoted fifter as the danger increased; and their affection and fympathy feemed to rife in propor tion to her misfortunes and fufferings.

The penal laws, which we faw paffed, in the last feflion of the laft parliament, relative to the colony of Maffachufet's bay, and which were intended to operate both as a chaftifement for paft, and a preventative of future misdemeanors in that province, were unfortunately productive of effects very different from those which the fanguine promoters of those bills had hoped, and which administration had held out to the nation. Other purposes were expected from them befides punishment and prevention. It was expected, that the fhutting up of the port of Bofton would have been naturally a gratification to the neighbouring towns, from the great benefits which would accrue to them, by the fplitting and removing of its commerce; and that this would prove a fruitful fource of jealoufy and difunion within the province. It was alfo thought, that the particular punishment of that province would not only operate as an example of terror to the other colonies, but that from the selfishness and malignity incident to mankind, as well as from their common jealoufies, they would quietly relign it to its fate, and enjoy with pleasure any benefits they could derive from its misfortunes. Thus it was hoped, that befides their direct operation, thefe bills would eventually prove a means of dissolving that band of union, which feemed of late too much to prevail a mongst the colonies.

The act called the military bill, which accompanied thefe laws, and which was formed to fupport and encourage the fol. dfery in beating down all poffible refiftance to the other acts, it was imagined, would complete the defign, and bring the colonies to a perfect fubmiffion. In confidence of the perfection of this plan of terrors, punishments, and regulations, and of the large force by fea and land (as it was then thought) which was fent to ftrengthen the hands of government, administration repofed in the most perfect fecurity; and ended the feflion in the moft triumphant manner, and with the mutual congratulations of all concerned in thofe acts; which may be well remembered, and which we have defcribed in our last volume. [xxxvii. 711.]

The event, in all these cafes, was however very different. The neighbouring towns difdained every idea of profiting in any degree by the misfortunes of their friends in Boston. The people of the province, instead of being fhaken by the

In a word, thefe bills, (as had been too truly foretold by their opposers at home), inftead of anfwering the purposes for which they were intended, spread a general alarm from one end to the other of the continent, and became the cement of a ftrict and close union between all the old colonies. They faid, it was now vifible, that charters, grants, and establifhed ufages, were no longer a protection or defence; that all rights, immu, nities, and civil securities, must vanish at the breath of an act of parliament, They were all fenfible, that they had been guilty, in a greater or leffer degree, of thofe unpardonable fins which had drawn down fire upon Bofton; they believed, that vengeance, though delayed, was not remitted; and that all the mercy the most favoured or the leaft culpable could expect, was to be the last that would be devoured,

It may be remembered in the latt fef fion, that the minifter had announced in the House of Commons the appointment of Gen. Gage to the government of the province of Maffachufet's-bay, and to the command in chief of the army in North America. As this gentleman had borne feveral commands with reputation in that part of the world, had lived many years there, and had fufficient opportunities of acquiring a thorough knowledge of the people, and was befides well approved of by them, great hopes were formed of the happy effects which would have refulted from his administration; and it is little to be doubted, if his appointment had been at a happier time, and his government free from the neceffity of enforcing measures which were generally odious to the people, but thefe expecta tions would have been answered.

The jealoufy and ill-blood between the

governors
