They were odious in the sight of the people, for having accepted office BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. 135 under an Act which was justly ob...noxious ; and so resolute was the opposition, that every stamp officer in the country was compelled to resign his commis- sion ; and when the stamped paper arrived, the governors were compelled to keep it on board of armed vessels in the harbours ; and it was all, at length, sent back to England. On the 1st of No- vember, the day on which the Act was to have taken place, neither stamp officer nor stamped paper was to be found in the colonies.
