Such is the duplicity with which the British forces conduct, after undertaking the task of kidnapping free-born citizens, | 1076 |
26, | Letter from the North-Carolina Council of Safety to the President of Congress, representing the defenceless state of the Colony. The great want of fire-arms, ammunition, and other warlike stores renders their situation truly alarming; an army is expected to land upon their coasts, a war with the southern Indians is apprehended, and a large body of disaffected persons residing in the very heart of their country, | 1077 |
