"Provided nevertheless, and to the Intent, that as far as the Nature of the Case will admit, the _Innocent_ may not be involved in the Punishment intended only for the _Guilty_; be it enacted by the Authority aforesaid, that it shall and may be lawful for his Majesty, and for his Heirs and Successors, at any Time, to grant a Pardon to a whole State, Province, or Colony, now in Rebellion, under the Great Seal of the Realm; or to one or more Inhabitant or Inhabitants thereof under the Seal Manual, and to _restore_ such Colony, or such Person or Persons to their former Rights and Privileges, as _British_ Subjects, when it shall appear to his Majesty in Council, that such a Province, or Colony, or such a Petitioner or Petitioners is, are, or shall be deserving of his Royal Clemency and Favour." Suppose, I say, such a Manifesto, or one to this Effect, and couched under the Form of an Act of Parliament, to be proclaimed to the World concerning the Rebellion now existing in _America_: And then I ask, what possible Difficulty could attend the Execution of it? Or who would even attempt to prevent it? The only People or Nation, who would wish to obstruct the Execution of such a Law, are the _Americans_ themselves; for they have no Manner of Objection against participating in all Kinds of _Benefits_ to be derived from an _Union_ with us; tho' they raise such terrible Outcries against sharing in any of our _Burthens_: And yet their Efforts and Opposition would all be in vain; because, tho' you should even allow, that they are able to maintain their Independence in _America_, that Circumstance would not render them the Conquerors of _Great-Britain_, much less of the rest of the World; who must of Course remain independent of them. Therefore, so far at least my System must have the Preference to Mr. BURKE's. 2dly. The next Question is, _Which System, can be carried into Execution with the least Expence?_ And surely as we have hitherto been engaged in nothing but Profusion and Extravagance, it is now high Time to adopt, if we can, some useful Scheme of Frugality and OEconomy in regard to _America_. Now, my Lords and Gentlemen, here again permit me to ask, What Expences can possibly attend the Execution of my Scheme?--The Thing itself is no sooner said, than done. And all the Charges attending it are summed up in the triffling Articles of Pen, Ink, Paper, and Printing. Whereas Mr. BURKE's System, even according to his own Account, will entail upon you Expences always encreasing, nay, next to infinite. You must, for Example, win over the Heads and Leaders of the new _American_ Parliaments by means of "Great Honours and great Emoluments," [A pretty Periphrasis this to describe the Art of _Bribing_!] in order to cooperate with the Plans of the _British_ Parliament, and to bear a Share of the general Burthens of the _British_ Empire.
