Which made England for so many years the Hope of the world, and which, infused into the early settlers of your own still freer country, and continued in their proud posteri ty, makes it now the Asylum and the Home of the Oppressed for this, and for this alone, I was banished by a summary and arbitrary decree, without trial, hearing, or defence; my pro perty destroyed, to the extent of not less than dollars, and the prospective certainty of another dollars at least cut cd', and annihilated at a single blow.
