Had the elder Pitt when be became

Introduced American representation
into parliament and preserved tbe thir
teen colonies to England. The new
blood of America would hare burst the
old vessels of tbe constitution and pro
vided s sett adjusting system of reprav

war of sseparation, no war of 1812, and
finally, when the Americana became a

have moved solemnly across the At
