[5]Lastly，we have no sort of experience in favor of force as an instrumentin the rule of our colonies.Their growth and their utility has been owing tomethods altogether different.Our ancient indulgence has been said to bepursued to a fault.It may be so;but we know，if feeling is evidence，that ourfault was more tolerable than our attempt to mend it，and our sin far moresalutary than our penitence.
