You must also guard their Coasts at all Times, and protect them from all Invaders: And when they chuse to amuse themselves by going _on smuggling_, _trucking_, _huckstering_, and _buccaneering_ Parties on the _Spanish_ Main, then you must more particularly stand up in their Defence, and insist on their Vessels not being searched by the _Spanish_ Guarda-costas. And if the _Spaniards_ should think this an hard Measure, and appeal to the Practice and Example of _Englishmen_ themselves, who never fail to search the Ships of all Nations, if found hovering on their Coasts, you must positively and vehemently say, that the _Case is widely different_:--Then you have a sufficient Plea for declaring War against them;--then, my Lords and Gentlemen, resolve (as your Predecessors did before) never to make Peace 'till the Right of Searching is given up;--then spend another _sixty_ or _ninety_ Millions in this new Quarrel;--and at last make Peace, (as they did) without ever mentioning the Right of not being searched; for which alone they pretended to go to War. But this is not all:--For when the Back-Settlers in _America_ shall have "topped the _Apalachian_ Mountains in sufficient Numbers to constitute Hords of _English_ Tartars, pouring down an irresistible Cavalry on the unfortified Frontiers;"--who is to _resist_ these _Irresistibles_?--Not the Colonists or Provincials; for they, poor People, tho' now 150,000 strong, [see General LEE's Letter] to fight against their Protectors and Defenders, will nevertheless be so frightened at the Sight of this _Apalachian_ Tartar Cavalry, that they will again cry out for Help to the Mother-Country;--again, I say, as they did before, when only an handful of [3] _French_ and _Indians_ appeared against them. And indeed, if the Mother-Country will act the Part of _Don Quixote_ to that Degree, as to expend her best Blood and Treasure in their Cause, why should they incur any Dangers in their own dear Persons? Why be at the Pains and Charges of defending themselves, when they can so easily get the _British_ Nation to fight, and bleed, and do every Thing for them? Besides Mr. BURKE has already declared in express Terms, [Page 98, 2d. Edit.] that AMERICA MUST NOT BE EXHAUSTED. Exhaust, therefore, yourselves, my Lords and Gentlemen! as much as you please, or as much as you can; but don't expect Assistance from _America_, even in her own Defence, whilst she can get such Knight-Errants as the _English_ to fight her Battles; and whilst she can raise Patriots and Pamphleteers, News-Writers and Republicans, without Number, to yell the _American_ War Hoop, and to denounce BLACK and BITTER Days against those, who should even hesitate to obey her Commands. But the third Question is, Which Scheme is _best calculated to prevent the like Disturbances for the future_?
