[In cross-examination of Joseph Galloway in the House of
Commons, the following allusion to American who had
independence in view:] . . . Those men, when the stamp act
was passed, made a stalking horse or screen of the gentlemen
of the law in every part of America, to cover their designs,
and to sound the trumpet of opposition against government,
but still avowed that their conduct was on the ground of
obtaining redress of American grievances, and not with a
design to separate the two countries. . .
