CONGRESS AND INDEPENDENCE. 55
150.—" We most humbly implore the Divine goodness to
dispose otir adversaries to Reconciliation on reasonable terms."
Page 155.—In the Petition to the King, every line of
which breaths affection for his Majesty & Great Britain, are
these remarkable sentences:
" Attached to your Majesty's Person, Family, and Government, with all the Devotion that Principle and affection
can inspire, connected with Great Britain by the strongest ties
that can unite Societies, and deploring every Event that lends
in any degree to weaken them, we solemnly assure your
Majesty, that we not only most ardently desire the former
Harmony between her and these colonies may be restored, but
that a Concord may be established between them upon so firm
a basis as to perpetuate its blessings uninterrupted by any
future Dissentions to succeeding Generations in both countries." " We beg leave further to assure your Majesty that
notwithstanding the sufferings oi your loyal colonists during
the course of this present controversy our Breasts retain
too tender a Regard for the Kingdom from which we derive our
origin, to request such a Reconciliation as might in any manner be inconsistent with her Dignity or welfare."
Page 163.—In the last address of the Congress to the
People of Great Britain are the following Passages:
" We are accused of aiming at Independence; but how is
this accusation supported ? by the allegations of your ministers, not by our actions. Abused, insulted and contemned,
what steps have we pursued to obtain Redress ? We have carried our dutiful Petitions to the Throne; we have applied to
your justice for Relief.''
Page 165.—" Give us leave most solemnly to assure you
that we have not yet lost sight of the object we have ever had in
view, a Reconciliation with you on constitutional Principles, and
a Restoration of that friendly Intercourse which to the advantage of both, we till lately maintained."
