Abstract
That “Quaker politicks and a Quaker faction have involv’d this province into almost all the contentions and all the miseries under which it has struggled.“ Also that “the present attempts to change the Government have their origin from a desire in this faction of continuing to rule in all public transactions, or at least of preventing the miserable frontier inhabitants from ever obtaining their privileges,“ are propositions which I advanc’d in No. I of the Plain Dealer; and I have not found the least reason to change my sentiments since I wrote that paper. The very manner in which this faction has prosecuted their schemes of late, would have confirm’d my opinions if I had been without indisputable evidence before.
