But fuppofe, after numberlefs dangers and mifchiefs, you mould fettle into one or more Republics : would a republican go- vernment ( i6 ) vcrnment give you more liberty, either religious or civil ? By no means. No go- vernments under heaven are fo defpotic as the Republican : no fubje&s are governed info arbitrary a manner,, as thofe of a Com- monwealth. If any one doubt of this, let him look at the fubjec"te of Venice, of Ge- noa, or even of Holland. Should any man talk or write of the Dutch g...overnment as every cobler does of the Englifh, he would be laid in irons, before he knew where he was. And then wo be to him !
Republics fhew no mercy „ ii. " But if we fubmit to one tax, more will follow." Perhaps fo, and perhaps not..
But if they did ; if you were taxed (which is quite improbable) equal with Ireland or Scotland, ftill were you to prevent this by renouncing connection with England, the remedy would be worfe than the difeafe..
For O ! what convulfions muft poor Ame- rica feel, before any other government was • fettled ?.
