prevail on

prevail on his lordship to joyn with such connections, unless he had a consciousness that his own abilities were sufficient to defeat the plans of a corrupt administration, i am not able to conceive. It might be well for his lordship to be assured, that there is now a fairer prospect than ever of an union among the colonies, which his predecessor did had reason to dread, tho he affected to despise it. Should the correspondence proposd by virginia produce a congress and that an assembly of states, it would require the head of a very able minister to treat with so respectable a body. This perhaps is a mere fiction in the mind of a political enthusiast. Ministers of state are not to be disturbd with dreams.
