MORE Chatham!!
i have laid before you the ruin of your power, the disgrace of your reputation, the pollution of your discipline, the contamination of your morals, the complication of calamities, foreign and domestic, that overwhelm your sinking country. your dearest interests, your own LIBERTIES, the CONSTITUTION itself, totters to the foundation. all this disgraceful danger, this multitude of misery, is the mostrerous offspring of this unnatural war. we have been decieved and deluded too long. let us now stop short. this is a crisis- the only crisis of time and situation, to give us a possibility of escape from the fatal effects of our delusions. BUT IF , IN AN OBSTINATE AND INFATUATED PERSERVERENCE IN FOLLY, we slavishly echo the PEREMPTORY words this day presented to us, nothing can save this devoted country from coplete and final ruin. we madly rush into multiplied miseries, and 'confusion worse confounded'.
