This Congress are all as deep as the delegates from the Massachusetts,
and the whole continent as forward as Boston. We shall have a redress of
grievances or an assumption of all the powers of government,
legislative, executive, and judicial, throughout the whole continent,
very soon. Georgia is bestirring itself; I mean the whole of it. The
parish of St. John's, which is one third of it, was with us before.
