"When we received an Authentic copy
of the Act of Parliament for stopping the trade and
harbour of Boston, we could not avoid considering it
as a common attack upon American Rights. Tho' it should
be granted that the Bostonians did wrong in destroying
the tea, yet the Parliament giving judgment and
sending ships and troops is an attack upon constitutional
rights, of which we cannot remain idle spectators."
