From the Connecticut Courant.  The whole strength of Britain
and her allies is now employed in the destruction of
America. . . [35 lines of patriotic exhortation] that he,
who at this season, cavils at the charge and wastes the
precious time in idle harangues, on trivial matters, betrays
a very weak or wicked mind, and like Nero, would have
fiddled while Rome was burning. . . [signed] Armatus.
