Of that cause the champion was Jonathan Mayhew, offspring of purest ancestors, nurtured by the ocean's-side, sanctified from childhood, a pupil of New England's Cambridge. Instructed in youth, thus he spoke of himself, in the doctrines of civil liberty, as they were taught by such men as Plato, Demosthenes, Cicero, and others among the ancients, and such as Sidney and Milton, Locke and Hoadley, among the moderns, I liked them; and having learned from the Holy Scriptures, that wise, brave, and virtuous men were always friends to liberty, that God gave the Israelites a king in his anger, because they had not sense and virtue enough to like a free common wealth, and that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, this made me conclude that freedom is a great blessing. Sermon of Mayhew's, printed in 1766. From early life, Mayhew took to his heart the right of pr

-six thousand to Connecticut, fifteen thousand to New York. Lords of Trade to Lords of the Treasury, 12 Feb., 1756; and to Secretary of State, 16 January, 1756. At the same time the military affairs of the continent were consolidated, with some reference to opinions and precedents as old as the reign of William the Third. The Board of Trade, first called into existence in 1696, had hardly been constituted, before it was summoned to plan unity in the military efforts of the provinces; and Locke, with his associates, despaired on beholding them crumbled into little governments, disunited in interests, in an ill posture and much worse disposition to afford assistance to each other for the future. The Board, in 1697, after considering with their utmost care, could only recommend the appointment of a captain-general of all the forces and all the militia of all the provinces on the continent of North America, with power to levy and command them for their defence, under such limitations

blic opinion began more and more to avow the evils and the injustice of slavery itself; and in 1761, it was proposed to suppress the importation of Africans by a prohibitory duty. Among those who took part in the long and violent debate was Richard Henry Lee, the representative of Westmoreland.

Grotius and Cudworth, of Locke and Montesquieu; his first recorded speech was against negro slavery, in behalf of human freedom. In the continued importation of slaves, he foreboded danger to the political and moral interests of the Old Dominion; an increase of the free Anglo-Saxons, he argued, would foster arts and varied agriculture, while a race doomed to abject bondage was of necessity an enemy to social happiness. He painted from ancient history the horrors of servile insurrections. He deprecated the barbarous atr

Otis, who was fiery, but not obstinate, erased the offensive words, as his sentiments were fully expressed without them; but immediately, claiming to be one Who dared to love his country and be poor, he vindicated himself through the press. Invoking the authority of the most wise, most honest, and most impartial Locke, as great an ornament as the Church of England ever had, because of moderate and tolerant principles, and one who wrote expressly to establish the throne which George the Third now held, he undertook to reply to those who could not bear that liberty and property should be enjoyed by the vulgar. Deeply convinced of the reality of the ideas of right and wrong, he derived his argument from original right. God made all men naturally equal. The ideas of earthly grandeur are acquired, not inn
