Excerpt from A Few Strictures Upon a Very Singular Production of the Rev. E. Denroche, Episcopal Clergyman of Brockville, Entitled an Apology for the Doctrine of Scriptural Temperance, or the Church of Christ the True Temperance Society
Should an invading foreign t'oe madly dare to cross our frontier boundary and murder, maim, and plunder, and otherwise moi-treat our countrymen and friends. And attempt to drag others into hopeless captivity, what excitement and alarm would very properly obtain at once, throughout the whole community The fearful tidings would fly as on the wings of the wind Solemn assemblies would be promptly convened-voluntary associations would be extensively formed - the entire mass ofhuman intelligencres would be on the alert. And those persons who displayed the most honest zeal and made the greatest sacri tices would be justly esteemed as the best friend of the country.
