ON EARTH, INDEPENDENT OF THE KING THE LORDS THE COMMONS THE PEOPLE NAY INDEPENDENT IN HOPE EXPECTATION OF THE HEIR APPARENT BY CONTINUING THEIR COMMISSIONS IN CASE OF A DEMISE OF THE CROWN, WHAT JUSTICE IMPARTIALITY ARE WE AT THREE THOUSAND MILES DISTANCE FROM THE FOUNTAIN TO EXPECT FROM SUCH A JUDGE OF AD- MIRALTY. WE ALL ALONG THOUGHT THE ACTS OF TRADE IN THIS RESPECTS A GRIEVANCE, BUT THE STAMP ACT HAS ERECTED A VAST NUMBERS OF SOURCES OF NEW CRIMES WHICH MAY BE COMMITTED BY ANY MAN AND CANNOT BUT BE COMMITTED BY MULTITUDES AND PRODIGIOUS PENALTIES ARE ANNEXED AND ALL THESE TO BE TRYED BY SUCH A JUDGE OF SUCH A COURT. WHAT CAN BE WANTING AFTER THIS BUT A WEAK OR WICKED MAN FOR A JUDGE TO RENDER US THE MOST SORDID FORLORN OF SLAVES. WE MEAN THE SLAVES OF A SLAVE OF THE SERVANT OF A MINISTER OF STATE. WE CANNOT HELP ASSERTING THEREFORE THAT THIS PART OF THE ACT WILL MAKE AN ESSENTIAL CHANGE IN THE CONSTITUTION OF JURIES WITH RE- GARD TO US IS DIRECTLY REPUGNANT TO MAGNA CHARTA ITSELF AND WILL MAKE SUCH A DISTINCTION a CREATE SUCH A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN a AMERICA AS WE COULD NOT HAVE EXPECTED FROM THE GUARDIAN OF LIBERTY IN BOTH. AS THESE SIR ARE OUR SENTIMENTS OF THAT ACT WE THE FREEHOLDERS a OTHER INHABITANTS LEGALLY ASSEMBLED FOR THAT PURPOSE MUST ENJOIN IT UPON YOU TO COMPLY WITH NO MEASURES OR PROPOSALS FOR COUNTENANCING THE SAME OR ASSISTING IN THE EXECUTION OF IT BUT BY ALL LAWFUL MEANS CON- SISTENT WITH OUR ALLEGIANCE TO THE KING AND RELATION TO GREAT BRITAIN TO APPOSE THE EXE- CUTION OF IT TILL WE CAN HEAR THE SUCCESS OF THE CRIES a PETITIONS OF AMERICA FOR RELIEF. (236) WE FURTHER RECOMMEND THE MOST CLEAR a EXPLICIT ASSERTION AND VINDICATION OF OUR RIGHTS a LIBERTIES TO BE ENTERED ON THE PUBLIC RECORDS THAT THE WORLD MAY KNOW IN THE PRE- SENT a ALL FUTURE GENERATIONS, THAT WE HAVE A CLEAR KNOWLEDGE AND A JUST SENSE OF THOSE RIGHTS a LIBERTIES AND THAT WITH SUBMISSION TO DEVINE PROVIDENCE, WE NEVER CAN BE SLAVES. NOR CAN WE THINK IT ADVISABLE TO AGREE TO ANY STEPS FOR THE PROTECTION OF STAMP PAPERS OR STAMP OFFICES, GOOD a WHOLESOME LAWS WE HAVE ALREADY FOR THE PRESERVATION OF THE PUB- LIC PEACE. AND WE APPREHEND THERE IS NO FURTHER DANGER OF TUMULTS a DISORDERS TO WHICH WE HAVE A WELL GROUNDED AVERSION, AND THAT ANY EXTRAORDIN- ARY AND EXPENSIVE EXERTIONS WOULD TEND TO EXASPERATE THE PEOPLE AND ENDANGER THE PUBLIC TRANQUILITY RATHER THAN THE CONTRARY. INDEED WE CANNOT TOO OFTEN INCULCATE UPON YOU OUR DESIRES THAT ALL EXTRAORDINARY a EX- PENSIVE GRANTS a MEASURES MAY UPON ALL OCCA- SIONS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BE AVOIDED. THE PUBLIC MONEY OF THIS COUNTRY IS THE TOIL a LABOUR OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE UNDER MANY UNCOMMON D IFFICULTIES a DISTRESSES AT THIS TIME SO THAT ALL REASONABLE FRUGALITY OUGHT TO BE OBSERVED. AND WE WOULD RECOMMEND PARTICULARLY THE STRICTEST CARE AND FIRMNESS TO PREVENT ALL UNCONSTITUTIONAL DRAUGHTS UPON THE PUBLIC TREASURY. AND WE CANNOT AVOID SAYING THAT IF A PARTICULAR ENQUIRY INTQ THE STATE OF THAT TREASURY SHOULD AT THE FIRST LEASURE OPPOR- TUNITY BE PROMOTED AND AN EXACT STATE OF IT PUBLISHED TO THE PEOPLE IT WOULD HAVE A VERY GOOD a USEFUL TENDENCY. ALL WHICH IS HUMBLY SUBMITTED BY THE COM- MITTEE OF THE TOWN OF BRAINTREE TO DRAW IN- STRUCTIONS TO THEIR REPRESENTATIVE. SAM NILES JOHN ADAMS NORTON QUINCY JAMES PENNIMAN JOHN HAYWARD THE ABOVE REPORT BEING READ BEFORE THE TOWN WAS VOTED ACCEPTED a ORDERED A COPY OF THE SAME BE TRANSMITTED TO THEIR REPRESENTATIVE. THE TREE OF LIBERTY, AND CURSED IS HE WHO CUTS THIS TREE! ' ' MAY 4, 1776 AND SO WITH THE LIVING BUTTONWOOD TREE, DID THE PATRIOTS OF OLD BRAINTREE PROCLAIM THEIR DETERMINATION TO STAND UP FOR THEIR RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES. 2 1
