Mr. WATSON,
Pleaft to insert the following in,our nfeful paper and you
will oblige 4 Soldier.
^HERE are a fat of men in this State fume of which
belong here, others have come frem the different
States, whose evil practices ought no longer to be
winked at ; thofisl particularly aim at are in general
batchelors, who have no families to privide for, and
are travelling from place to place to purchase the racef
faries and luxuries of life, and fell them at a meft ex
orbitant price, thereby amaffiag more in a month than
they ever honestly earned in a year, in the bufinefi
to which they were bred. Some of these itinerants
change places so often they are not inclofed in any of
the militia rolls, and ferae I believe pay no taxes, net
being properly inhabitants of any town ; these are net
merchants who nobly venturpheir estates to import
the articles wanted, or rifle their property in armed
veffela to distress the enemy and take their goods. Ne,
they are harpies of trade,, and the b@ne of society. Let
us learn to distinguish between the merchant and these
thieves of trade, let us encourage the former and dif
pife the latter ; these vermine will evade all laws.-,-
Trade won't be regulated by any laws under heaven,
but so long as it is carried on by none but the ge.
nerous adventurous merchant, it will flourish and
be a blcffiag to the country; but if these catterpiller#
are allowed to hang on its branches, it will wither and
decay. I have been told that feme of these gentry
have difeovered such principles that they were obliged
to quit their former places of abode, and arc now al
lowed to live among us, and take the advantage of
their fellow men by the practices above hinted at.

tyilEßdhS Racnel tlancock, ri^ce ner elopement
from me the fabicriber, has published an iatidiu
out piece,and & the fpellingita mixture of falfhoodt,
so is the composure likewise, and it appears to be an
index of an old corrupt foundation, one of mother
Eva's daughters, and whoever was the author and
promoter of such anew dialed ought to have a
monument traded to their memories, or rather ought
to have patterned after mother Eve in few ing fig leaves
together to hide from the world their mean, low, sor
did, narrow contra&ed minds and actions, which are
too obvious to the world to mention. But net to ra
fted on her annotations, on old cows tripes, &c. &c.
I would in refped to her and all her confederates be
very cautious, not knowing but she or they may icon
excel the learned Mr. Henry, or the raoft celebrated
Mr. Pool in their expositions, if they can get triple
enough te prepare with, and a little bran jonne bicad,
for it is a good eld maxim, that hard students must
live low, which diet I hope will prepare their bodies
for a more refined competition, therefcre I the fubferi
ber being apprehensive of th# grant cell ol such a pre
paration, and that the said Rachel may run me in
