3447. GEORGE III., Ministers of.—

You
are surrounded by British counsellors, but remember
that they are parties. You have no
ministers for American affairs, because you
have none taken from among us, nor amenable
to the laws on which they are to give you advice.
It behooves you, therefore, to think and
to act for yourself and your people.—
