Sir
Having, from a species of inadvertence but
too natural Having to us all, inserted so many expressions of
censure, I call upon your justice to admitt
a word or two one word of defence in regard to the conduct on behalf of [+] Mr Benjamin [+] a man some thousands
of miles off,
Vaughan, of whose paper, dissuading an invasion of this country, so much has been said
of late. The bare statement of the fact, had
it been thus stated (and no man either has contested and I defy any man to
or can contest control the truth of it) would have been sufficient, I will not
say to preclude all censure, but to establish
in behalf of that gentleman an incontrovertible title to [+] applause. Fiding [+] public gratitude &
Understanding the enemy to be meditating an invasion,
he risks his character, he exposes himself to the ran risks that
consequences that have happened, to dissuade
than from it. He had communication with
the Friendenemy. Be it so, but to what purpose?
To the purpose of injuring his country? — No —
but to for the purpose of rendering in the very highest
service which it is in the power of a good subject to
render, to his own or to any other country.
