To the Printer of the Pennsylvania Packet.
SI R,
Tour publifting the following in,our paper, mill
oblige many of your Cufiomers.
To the FREEMEN of the city and county of
PhILADELPHIA.
Gentlemen,
TH E piece signed an Artizan in the Pennsyl
vania Gazette, has no doubt informed you
of the injury which not only our own patriotic
merchants, but the cause of American liberty is
like to fuffer from merchant adventurers and others,
not properly in our trade; encouraged no doubt
by our hopeful Ministry, they fecm determined to
be fore handed with us, and by taking the start
of America, as die prudently waits for the deter
minations of the Congress, to pour in such quan
tities of goods, as, if landed and fold, will pre
vent every measure afterwards adopted, from pro
ducing its full and proper effed, will take the trade
in a great measure, if not entirely out of the hands
of our own merchants, for it is well known, that
whenever trade is turned out of its antient chan
nel it is not easily brought back again. Thus our
enemies intend to baffle our measures.
The Artizan has wifely given the alarm to the
province in general, by proclaiming the matter to
the public ; but his dire&ion ought properly to
have been to you ; your situation makes you the
watchmen of the province; you are our out posts,
which are not only to stop the progress of the
enemy but to give the alarm ofhis approach,and the
success of every measure muff entirely depend on
the manner you execute the trust which your situ
ation confers upon you. Should you neglect to
execute that trust with the utmost fidelity, I ask,
how the rest of the province can podibly defend
rhemfelves from the machinations of their enemies ?
You know how fletifaft the freemen of the province
are in supporting our cause ; you know how ready
they are to co-operate with you in every measure,
which shall rend to fruftrate the designs of our
enemies; but as I have said already, to you they
look for the alarm, from you they expert it, and
the blame will fall upon you if they do not receive
it. It makes little odds, whether the present re
port be true or falfe; though I will be bold to
declare, that the men who are most solicitous to
have it diferedited, have the most reason to
believe the truth of it. It becomes us to be pro
vided against all events, and not to have our mea
sures to take the day they are to be executed, and
whatever falfity there may bein the present report,
I think one who is no prophet may venture to fore
tel, that it will not remain a falfity long. I ask
then, how we are prepared against such an event?
The Artizan tells you your Committee begins to
fufpe& its authority to tranfad your business; who
then have you to do it for you? It would be au
dacious and impertinent for any individual, how
ever willing to serve you, to undertake it. And
should your Committee be ever so willing to serve
you on this, or any other occasion; I ask what
right and authority has it ? And, for Gods fake,
as you regard your rights and privileges, and as
you would preserve your own power and authori
ty, fuffer no body of men, however worthy they
may be of your confidence, whom you have cloth
ed with your authority, and to whom you have
delegated your power, to a>ft beyond the bounds
you have set them. Your Committee was chosen
tor fpegal purposes; you particularly prescribed
to them what they should do ; they have done it;
Britain, or elfe&here, to be trid under indid
ment for a crime committed in any of the colo
nies, as the party prosecuted would thereby be
deprived of the privilege of trial by his Peers
from the vicinage, the injured perhaps pre rent
ed from legal reparation, and both Idle the full
benefit of their witneffes.'
For the Pennsylvania Packet.
INSTRUCTIONS of the Assembly of Penn
sylvania, to the Deieg ate% for tbefaid pro
vince, appointed to meet the General Congress.
Gentlemen,
TH E trust reposed in you is of such a nature,
and the mode ofexecuting it may be so di
verfified in the course of your deliberations, that it
is scarcely possible to give you particular inftrudi
ons refpeding it. We shall therefore only in ge
neral direfl that you are to meet io Congress the
Committees of the several British Colonies, at
such time and place as shall be generally agreed on,
to consult together on the present critical and
alarming situation and state of the colonies, and
that you with them exert your utmost endeavours
to form and adopt a plan, which shall afford the
best profpea of obtaining a redress of American
grievances, afeertaining American rights, and
establishing that union and harmony which is most
eflential to the welfare and happiness of both coun
tries, and in doing this you are ftriSly charged
to avoid every thing indecent or difrefpedful to the
mother state; you are also directed to make report
of your proceedings to the next Assembly.
Signed by Order of the House,
JOSEPH GALLOWAY, Speaker.
Philadelphia, July 13, 1774.
you have no right to expe^that they will do any
thing else, and if they were disposed to do more,
it would be your duty, as the guardians of your
own rights to prevent them, until thsy were duly
impowered. If they have afted to your fatisfadi
on, and are willing to serve you farther, let them
receive frefh powers for the purpose ; if there be
any among them, who has neglected to serve you,
or whose service has been disagreeable, let him
retire as a person for whom you have no far
ther occafi®n; but to continue on such an alarming
occasion without a Committee is treason to the
cause of Liberty and America.
