And we do solemnly bind ourselves and our con
flituents, under the ties aforefaid, to adhere to
this association until such parts of the several ads
of Parliament passed since the close of the last war,
asimpofe, or continue duties on tea, wine, mo
lasses, syrups, paneles, coffee, sugar, pimento,
indigo, foreign paper, glass, and painters colours
imported into America, and extend the powers
of the admiralty courts beyond their ancient limits,
deprive the American fubjeft of trial by jury,
authorife the Judge's certificate to indemnify the
prosecutor from damages, that he might otherwise
be liable to from a trial by his peers, require op
preflive security from a claimant of ships or goods
seized, before he shall be allowed to defend his
property, are repealed—And until that part of
the ad of the 12. G. 3. ch. 24. entitled, “An ad
for the better securing his Majesty's dock yards,
magazines, ships, ammunition, and stores," by
which, any persons charged with committing any
of the offences therein described, in America, may
be tried in any (hire or county within the realm,
is repealed—And until the four a&s passed in the
last session of Parliament, viz. that for flopping
the port and blocking up the harbour of Bos
ton That for altering the charter and govern
ment of the Massachusetts-Bay And that
which is entitled, “ Ah ad for the better admi
nistration ofjuftice, &c." And that " For
extending the limits of Quebec, Ac." are repealed.
And we recommend it to the provincial conven
tions, and to the Committees in the refpedive
colonies, to establish such farther regulations as
they may think proper, for carrying into executi
on this association.

the fa!A, th: ml cost and thirds, the prone if
any, to be applied towards relieving and employ
ing such poor inhabitants of the town of Boston,
as are immediate fufferers by the Boston Port bill ;
^d a particular account of all goods so returned,
stored, or fold, to be inferred in the public papers;
andifany goods or merchandizes shall be imported
after the said firft day of February, thefame Qught
forthwith to be sent back again, without breaking
any of the packages thereof.
Eleventh. Tnat a Committee be chosen in
every county, city, and town, by those who are
qualified to vote for Rep r elentatives in the legif-
Jature, whose bntinefs it (hall be attentively to ob
serve the conduct of all perlons touching this af
iociation; and when it shall be made to appear to
the fatisfadtion of a majority of any such commit
tee, that any person within the limits of their ap
pointment has violated this association, that such
majority do forthwith cause the truth of the case
to be published in the Gazette, to the end, that
all such foes to the rights of British America may
be publickly known, and universally contemned
as the enemies of American liberty; and thence
forth we refpedively will break off all dealings
with him or her.
Thirteenth. That all manufactures of this coun
try be fold at reafonoble prices, so that no undue
advantage be taken of a future scarcity of goods.
Fourteenth. And we dofurther agree and re
solve, that we will have no trade, commerce,
dealings or intercourse whatsoever, with any co
lony or province in North-America, which shall
not accede to, or which shall hereafter violate
this association, but will hold them as unworthy of
the rights of freemen, and as inimical to the liber
ties of their country.
Twelfth. That the Committee of Correspond
ence in the refpe&ive colonies do frequently inspect
the entries of their Custom-Houses, and inform
each other from time to time of the true state
thereof, and of every other material circumstance
that may occur relative to this association.
" I add these few lines to assure you, that the
Ministry have extended the influence of the trea
sury to America. People have been consulted
here, to know who are the fitteft objects of bribe
ry, and most powerful to create divisions among
you. Warrants hare been granted to the Secre
tary of State, for America, expressly for secret
services —What can it be for but to corrupt and'
divide ?
No person ban be more felicitous than viyfelf, to
preserve union and harmony between Great- Britain
and her colonies, and I ardently wifo to contribute
to the completion of a work so salutary to both coun
tries : but an open and avowed disobedience to all her
authority, is only bidding defiance to the mother coun
try , and gives little hopes of bringing afpirited nation
to that favourable disposition, which a more decent
and dutiful conduß might effefl.
Whilst you complain of alls of Parliament that
make alterations in your charter, and put you, in
feme degree, on the fame footing with many other
provinces, you will not forget that by,our present
affembling,you are,ourfelves subverting that charter,
and now ailing in direct violation of your own con
flitution. It is my duty therefore, however irregu
lar your application is, to warn you of the rock you
are upon, and to require you to deffl from such ille
gal and unconfiitutional proceedings.

Extras of a letter from Clafgow, Augufl 19.
" Your indignation would rife to hear how con
temptibly people talk here of American associati
ons. They generally agree that such refohnions
may last three months nominally, though all hands
agree that the majority of your merchants will vi
olate the spirit of them in much less time. The
town is full of letters from factors and little (hop
keepers in different ports on the continent, all
avowing their resolutions to import and fell goods,
let the public resolutions be what they will. lam
fully persuaded that the merchants agreeing not to
import goods will be of little avail unless the peo
ple also in general agree not to buy or use goods
imported, and that in a solemn manner."

Last Tuesday evening at a meeting of the Go

will excite a generous and liberal disposition in the
public, to render it extensively ufeful by their be
neficent contributions.
It is fare!) highly exafferatirg, as well as ungene
rous, even to hint that the lives, liberties, or proper
ties of any persons, except avowed enemies, are in dan
ger from Britons; Britain can never harbour the
back design of wantonly defraying or enslaving
any people on earth ; and notwithfanding the en
mity Jhewn the King's troops, by witholding from
them alinf ever, necessary for their preservation,
they have not as yet discovered the resentment which
might jufly be expelled to arise from such hoflile
treatment.
