We furthermore recommend to retailers or other perlons
who may have money to spare, to open fubferiptions for
railing finds for importing their own goods, under the
management of persons to be chofen^by a majority of the
^bfcribers.
And in order to prevent theuoneceffary removalof goods
from one State to another under various pretences, by
which the prices are enhanced, it is hereby proposed, that
the inhabitants of any State, whole ports may at any time
be blocked up or rendered unfafe, shall have full privilege
to import their cargoes into this port, and to remove the
fame under the manag^m,nt of a fworti Agent of their own
appointing ; and this we presume will kicre effectually ah'-
fwer their pu/pofe than their depending too much on the
purchases they may hope to make of goods already im
pose -because by encouraging importation we in a great
measure prevent monopolizing.
It gives the well affected inhabitants of this city, an,d
their Committee, great pleasure to find, that the measures
lately adopted are so generally approved, and so warmly
supported. We can only call it a beginning, and hope to
fee it productive of universal benefit. ,
The Committee have already received letters of appro
bation and request from several of the neighbouring States,
and we in a particular manner invite and call on our fel
low-citizens of the State of Maryland, because we are per
suaded that the contrivances which have been carried on
between this city and Baltimore, have in an extraordinary
manner contributed to undermine the value of our curren
cy." , a
We are now arrived at a period at which nothing can
hurt us but want of honefly, and in which to be rich or to
be poor depends on our own choice and consent ; and such
being truly our situation, we submit the farther confedera
tion thereof to the wisdom, justice and patriotism of the
States in Union.
Signed in behalf and by order of the Committee,
WILLIAM BRADFORD, Chairman.

AS the fubferiber intends soon to move out

twenty five years of age, five feet ten or eleven inches
high, was inoculated for the small pox last May and
bears the marks very plain in his face. He was formerly
tbe property of Mr. D/vid Russell, merchant, in Bland,
ford, ^ho purchased him of Ms. Jane Vobe, in Willi,
amfbarg, and he is well known by mod gentlemen %ho
frequented the General Courts in that city. His dress
when he went off was a blue cloth coat, buff jacket and
leather breeches, flhoe boots, &c. but as he carried
away sundry other cloaths, and is a sensible fellow, nd
doubt he will change his dress and endeavour to pats as
a freeman. He probably may have procured a pass, as
he did once before when he eloped, in whi@h he charged
his name to William Byrd, alias Matthew Davenports
His address being very clever as a waiting-man he may
probably endeavour to hire himfolf to some gentleman.
This is to forwarn all matters of vtffels and others from
employing or harbouring him, as they fliall answer for
