Regulators Advertisement No. 1, August 1766 From The Colonial Records of North Carolina, William L. Saunders, ed., 10 vols. (Raleigh: State of North Carolina, 1886-90), 7: 249-50. Whereas that great good may come of this great designed Evil the Stamp Law while the sons of Liberty withstood the Lords in Parliament in behalf of true Liberty let not Officers under them carry on unjust Oppression in our own Province in order thereunto as there is many Evils of that nature complained of in this County of Orange in private amongst the inhabitants therefore let us remove them (or if there is no cause) let us remove the Jealousies out of our minds. Honest rulers in power will be glad to see us examine this matter freely there is certainly more honest men among us than rogues & yet rogues is harbored among us sometimes almost publickly, every honest man is willing to give part of his substance to support rulers and laws to save the other part from rogues and it is his duty as well as right to see and examine whether such rulers abuse such trust, other wise that part so given may do more hurt than good, even if all were rogues in that case we could not subsist but would be obliged to frame laws to make ourselves honest and the same reasoning holds good against the notion of a Mason Club; this tho' it must be desired by all or the greatest number of men, yet when grievances of such public nature are not redressed the reason is everybody's business is no Bodys.
