they acknowledged th^rckc^guilty, and promised tc A
bide by and affifi the orders of the Committee, upon which
they were discharged. It is earnefily wished and hoped the
town of Boston and its State will come into the measure,
for if they do not, we fhali c^t off all trade and commerce
with it, and confine ourselves to Philadelphia. Hard mo
ney is not to oafs here any more ; we have lately hung
»P and burned in effigy a dealer in hard money.
" P. 8. I jailnow hear that all our diftrids have chos
en Committees, and are regulating the prices of country
produce."
The following agreement was entered into by the second
battalion of Maryland militia, met at the Head of Elk,
June ci, 17751, agreeable to law.
'fy RING deeply impressed with the growing evils that
threaten not only this State, but the United States in
general, from the exoritant prices of every meceffary of
life, the venal practice of monopoly, ehgroffing and fore
flailing, which hath depreciated our currency, and coun
teracted every virtuous measure adopted by our most wor
thy citizens, in hired violation of the laws of the State,
wishing as much as possible to coincide with our bret ren
in the neighbouring States to re store things again to rights,
and to recover the credit of our currency.
And as we trust the conflitutiom andthe laws of the State
are very fufficient (if properly executed); or if not, ,we
look on it as the only fafe way of remedy, to remonstrate
and petition to our Legislature in a constitutional way, for
fiich amendments as from time to time may be thought
neceffary.,'', 1
We therefore bind ourselves to each other, under the
firiaeft ties of virtue and hoßor, that we ,will support the
civil authority in the execution of the laws (inviolable)
to fee them duly executed by the proper officers, as ap
pointed by law, nor fhali any man or set of men usurp the
power of legislation, or executing the laws, but such as have
authority 'by the constitution and from the legislature of
the State, and that we will use cur utmost endeavors to
prevent all monopolizing, engrossing and foreftalling of
every fort whatsoever, and will present all persons guilty
of any of them, to the executive powers ; and earnestly re
commend it to the Magistrates, Grand Jurors, and all 0-'
ther persons in authority, to exert themselves at this crisis,
informing against and prefecuting all such perlons as may
be so loft to virtue as to attempt to prey on their brethren
the honest citizens ; and we pledge ourselves that we will,
by the firi& ties aforefaid, support them in the fame..
And we earnestly intreat all traders, merchants, far
mers, mechanics and others, toconform to the laws of the
State, and sympathize with, and contribute to, the relief
and necessities of their difireffed brethren, and do caution
all traders in goods of every fort to conform to the regula
tions as directed by the acts of Assembly ; as we hold'ohr
felves bound, they must answer for the contrary to the pe
tal laws of the State.
r The above being unanimously agreed to by the battali
on, was ordered immediately to be made public, that all
perfoas concerned may govern themselves accordingly.
