Even brutes do not devour their young, nor savages make war upon their families. B. But she has protected us, say some. That she hath engrossed us is true, and defended the Continent at our expense as well as her own, is admitted. . . . C. The least fracture now will be like a name engraved with the point of a pin on the tender rind of a young oak; the wound would enlarge with the tree, and posterity read in it full grown characters. D. To examine that connection and dependence, on the principles of nature and common sense, to see what we have to trust to, if separated, and what we are to expect, if dependent.
