the City 0! Annapolis, on the Bth of December
Instant, to oufdlt on Measures for the general
Good, prelent 85 Members, it Was, amongk other
Things, RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY,
r,,HAT a well regelated militia, composed of the
^ gentlemen, freeholders, and other freemen, is
dec natural strength and only stable security of a free
:?-? lament, and that such militia will relieve our
mother country from any experce in our protection
and defence; will obviate the pretence of a necessi
ty for taxing us on that account ; and render it uri
neceffary to keep any Landing army (ever danger
ous to liberty) in this province : And therefore it is
it ? & amended to such of the said inhabitants of this
vince, as are from sixteen to fifty years of age to
dr-n themselves into companies of sixty eight men,
- - -de a Captain, two Lieutenants, an Ensign,

tard the execution of the /af/ef---this accounts for a
certain Prelate's ftragling here from New-York, and
for the several inflammatory libels,againff the colo

The New-York Freeholder : The Veteran, The
Friendly Address to sober Americans, &c. publifoed
by the little high flying Jacobite party and their
bribed coadjutors in that city, since the Dolor's re
turn, and retailed here in Mills & flick's paper, by
their fellow labourer the unprincipled, but not unpen
