The contempt with which the last petition erf the
Honorable Congress has been treated; the fate a&
of Parliament deelating'the juff refinance of the 'Colo
nifts against-violences actually offered, to be rebellion,
exdl&fr: them frem the protection pf the Crown, a'nd.
even compelling some of thorn to bear arms against their
countrymen; the treaties of the King of Great Britain
with oth& Princes for engaging foreign mercenaries, to
aid the forces of that kingdom' , in rtheir hostile enter
prizes afoinft America, and his answer to the petition
of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen and Commons of the city
of London, foanifeft such 2 determined-and implacable
refol,Dijon to effect the utter deftruflion of these Colo
nies; that all bope§ of a reconciliation, on reafon^ble
terms, are extinguished. Nevertheless, it is our ardent
desire that a civil war,, wi h all its attending miseries,
fhbuld be ended by a secure and honorable peace.
We therefore hereby authorize ,0u to concur with
the other Delegates in Congress, in forming such farther
compass' between the United Colonies, concluding
such treaties with foreign kingdoms And states, a^d in
'adopting, such other measures as (hall be judged neces
sary for promoting the liberty, fafety and interests of.
America; reserving to the people of this colony the sole
and exclusive right of regulating the internal govern
ment and police of the fame.
The happiness of these colonies has, during the •ho'W
"course of this fatal controversy, been our firft with.
Their reconciliation with Great-Britain our" next. Ar
dendyhave w.e praved for the accomplishment of both.
But if we must t^Bnce the one or the other, we hum
bly trull in the nJrcies of the Supreme Governor of
the Universe," that we (half not stand condemned before
his throne, if our choice is determined by that over
ruling 4aw of felf preservation, which his divine wis

on Saturday the fifteenth instant, at the house of
Jacob Neff.•
• In' COMMITTEE for York County, May'll, 1776.
Present fifty-four Members.
'Col. ROBERT M'PHERSON'in the Chair.'
TH E R&folve of the Hon. Continental Congress of
the 15th instant being read was most cordially
agreed to, and thankfully accepted; and Revived, That
a delegation from this body, of nine members, be order
ed to attend the conference of Committees at Philadel
phia, the 18th day'of June next, to consider of the best
and most effectual measures for carrying the laid Re
solve of Congress into execution, and fettling the pre
liminary fleps for the election of a Provincial Conven
tion, to form a constitution founded on " the authori
ty of the people."
Refolded, That as the former legislative powers of
this province cannot aft without' being under oaths or
affirmations of allegiance to the King of Great-Britain,
. and dependant on him, which by the cruel and wicked
proceedings of that King and Parliament of Great-
Britain; more especially by a late Aft of Parliament
declaring the colonists rebels, and cutting them off
from the protection of that crown, the fame is become
incapable of legiflarion, and in that refpe& totally ex
tinct. But Refolded nevertheless, That the executive
powers of government ought to proceed in the usual
channel, and that the laws heretofore made be put in
due execution, until ^government formed on “ the au
thority of the people'' only takes place, agreeable to
the resolve of Congress of the igth instant.
Refolded, That Mr. James Rankeo, lately chosen a
member to represent this couhty in Assembly, in fend
ing '(even letters, and a bundle of remonstrances, to
seven inhabitants of this county, for the express pur
pole of getting those remonstrances signed by the peo
ple here, and transmitted to Philadelphia; which re- 0
monstrances can be calculated for no other purpose
than to drhw this province off from the present Union
with the other colonies, or to divide the people so as to
fall, an easy prey to our inveterate enemies, has violated
the trust repdfed in him by the good people of this
county. „ tf4,
fcfolvefj That should any person or persons be so
lgft to all sense of duty to the public, as to attempt to
procure .tign'^rs' .to said poisonous and deftruaive re
mdnftrance in this county, that the said person or per r
sons will be confider@| as violators of the Resolves of
Congress, and inimical to the liberties of America.

Elizabeth Graeme, now Elizabeth Ferguffon) is (0 be
fold, in farms of any quantity from one hundred acres
to three hundred acres, as may best suit the purchaser:
A proportionate quantity of arable nifr'o< and timbefr
lands will be allotted to each farm, «e Proprietor in
tending only to reserve the mansion-house, offices, &c.
with a small portion of larids next adjacent. The ara
ble lands were originally good, and have been.greatly
improved by mariurings and the best culture; the mea
dows produce the best kind of hay in great quantities,
and they may always be kept in a flourishing state, by
being watered in the driest seasons; and the timber
lands are of the best quality. A coafiderable quantity*
of excellent orcharding can be allotted to one or two of
the farms. Each of these farms from its situation and
quality, is calculated both for the amusement cf the man
of fortune, and the profit of the industrious farmer.—
They will be fold for a reasonable price, and an indis
putable title given to the purchaser. For terms and
further information apply to Elizabeth Fergusson
on the premises, Charles Stedman at Philadelphia,
