Another sign of the spoils of victory is the charter for the loyalist colony of New Ireland.
The charter provides for the new province between "Sawhno River and the St. Croix" to have a governor and council, chief justice and other necessary civil officers -- and no local legislature until "circumstances of the Province will admit of it."
"It has been found by sad experience," the document notes, "that the Democratic power is predominant on all parts of the British America."
