London Evening Post letter on corrupt Parliament and American War
A long London Evening Post letter denounces the two Houses as corrupt and rotten, criticizing the Ministry, Parliament, and policy toward America. It recalls 1762 bank-note bribery, laments ongoing civil conflict, and cites a 1751 annual register entry about misgovernment and looming ruin for the empire.
Puppets of Bute and Mansfeld Control the Crown
A fiery political critique argues Chatham and critics in Sandwich, Sandwich and Dartmouth in the House of Lords oppose America while North echoes the Junto. It warns that as long as Bute Mansfield and their Scottish faction remain near the King, no minister can govern for the public good. The call is to awaken the people and dissolve the corrupt Parliament and to demand the King vow never to see Bute or Mansfield again.
