the cry of Philadelphia. The forces in New Jersey
nay be insufficient to oppose his progrcfs : It is there
fore indrfpenfably requisite for the preservation of this
State, and the support of the general cau'e, that troops
be immediately railed to re-infoice General Washing
ton. The measures adopted for this purpose you will
learn from the resolutions enclofid. In this time of
danger it is unoeceffary to use argument; with freemen,
who are determined never to lose that character but
with their lives. We have entire confidence, toat you
and the battalion under yeur command, will, upon this
occasion, give the strongest proofs of vigour and patri
etifm.
A judicious choice of the officers will do honour to
the volunteers, and produce essential advantages to the
service, for it is our opinion that the volunteers ought
to have the election of them, and we recommend to you
the utmost circumfpe&ion and care, not only in the
persons you may recommend to them, but also in the
manner of doing it —As this Council can only have in
view the interest o' the whole, you mav fafely assure
the people of our care and attention in the appointment
of the field officers, to as, at the fame time, to forward
the f rvice, and, as much as poffiblc, to give fatisfac
tion to the people.
A Pay master will be appointed for each battalion,
and the volunteers may depend on hav ng their pay re
gularly.—The Color .1 or Commanding Officer ought
to muller each company and fend a certificate thereof
to this Board.
Money is forwarded to in order to ad
vance the month's pry —t< him you will please to apply
for what money will be nueffa y in your battalion fur
that purpose. " Order o' the duncil,

We hear that part of General Home's army has ad
vanced a few miles into the State of New Jersey, and
that he is preparing wi:h the remaining body of his
troops to effe&a landing in that State General Wash
ington is busy in preparing to receive them, and if pro
perly reinforced with the militia of New J.rfey an I the
neighbouring States, we hope will be able to check their
progress. We also he^r that General Lee is advancing
to join General Washington with a reinforcement from
the Continental army in the State of N w- York.

To. the ASSOCIAh' OR: of Pennsylvania.
TH E time is at lad come in which the filiation of this
country cepends upon the exertions of tr iodic,
dual of this State. The enemv have colle.Aed all their
strength, an ! are determined, if p^ffible, to spend this
v ,inter in Philadelphia. For Heaven's fake Gt ah disputes
about flam s of p<%}mert fabfide for the .*e'ent, or
we shall be obh,; di to receive a governmen from the
sword of 2 preud and fu^cefshd enemy. The C -ngreri,

ustoAßM*! The heights of Cha:le%wn and t t plains
of Abrahtu, Ftid? rich Wh he blood of our c entry
men, cal n. - Ap.y^ t sh e honor w e have led by the
reduction ct Lcnfyrz^Q '^ K, FT Washington
and Fort Lee, calls us to Arms!—Let us replied the
many resolutions we have entered into to support our li
berties with our lives and fortunes: .The eyes of the
whole world are upon us. All the freemen that are to
exiit in the world to the end of time are interested in the
controversy—nay, God himfelf, altho' for wife and just
reasons he delays our deliverance, is not indifferent to
the ftrugp,le.
For God's fake then let us not dishonor our country,
human nature, and our God, by a fhameful surrender of
our liberties. Let us remember that our enemies are now
approaching upon tiat ground on which they can receive
no protection from their fbips, and 00 which too we have
al way 3 anticipated success over them. What apology shall
we make to our brethren in Maliachufetts Bay, Virginia
and South-Carolina, who have driven the royal banditti
from tbeir coasts, if we fuffer them to get possession of the
vitals of the Continent ?—Such an event would render
the name of a Pennsylvanian as infamous as that of an
ancient Capadocian. But there is more than infamy in
the evils which now threaten us: Goals, dungeons, racks,
and gibbets are before us. No age, sex, or character can
protest us from the infiience and rage of our wicked in
ternal and bloody minded external enemies. Arise then
my dear countrymen, and let us " play the man for the
cities of our God." Our houses and our fields, the inhe
ritance of our ancestors or the dear-bought fruits of our
own industry; call us to the Field.—Our wives, our
children, our aged fathers and mothers, c 11 us to the
Field! They now look up to us with weeping eyes for
fafety, and expe& salvation only from the instrumentality
of our swords. Come on my dear countrymen, let us go
forth in the strength of the God of Armies to meet our
enemies, and let t e words of the inspired prophet found
perpetually in our ears—-" Cursed is he that doeth the
work of the Lord deceitfully, and keepeth back his sword
from blood." HAMPDEN.
