A Statement of the measures contemplated against Samuel Bryan, Esquire, register-general of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania : unparalleled in the United States, and without a precedent even in the corrupt Parliament of Great-Britain, where merely solemn mockery of popular representation exists; and what forms a high aggravation of the arbitrary and vindictive measures contemplated against Mr. Bryan, is that the evident motive for them, was his spirited prosecution of Francis Johnston, Esquire, late receiver-general, for great abuses in the said office, at a time and under circumstances peculiarly unfavourable, when nothing but a disinterested and impressive sense of duty would have induced him to persevere therein; on the one hand having to combat a host of enemas printed] religion, ought to read this pamphlet.
