For more than three years together,— to humour
the pride of less than two hundred, so many millions,
probably not less than twenty, left in a state
of sufferance: in your Ultramaria, the independent
portion of your Ultramarian kinsmen,
in that same Country, the adherents to your
rulers: in your own country yourselves: in
a state of sufferance all; in two of the three
instances in a state of the most wide spreading
as well as excruciating sufferance shall
this suffering, who were the real authors? Who
but they in whose power it was, without sacrifice
in any shape, to you on any one, to put an
end to it? Without sacrifice to a preponderant

continuance to it: by the declared refusal to substitute
peace and amity to a war of suffering
without hope
