til the firft day of May following; and from and
after the said firft day of May, not to purchase or
use any Ewe Lamb until the firft day of October
following; and to difeourage from henceforth the
Killing and Sale of Ewe Mutton and Lamb, as far
as they possibly can.
They do likewise most earnestly recommand to
all butchers and others concerned in bringing meat
to the markets in this city and suburbs, not to kill
any Ewe Mutton or Lamb, on any pretence what
soever, from the said firft day of January, until
the firft day of May following; nor any Ewe Lamb
whatever, from the said firft day of May, until
the firft day of October following: And in order
the more effectually to difeourage the deftrution
of Sheep, the refpedive County Committees are
hereby particularly requested henceforth to use
their utmost influence with the farmers and others
through the country, to prevent the sale of any
Ewe Mutton or Lamb to the butchers, as well as
their bringing any to market themselves, from
this day until the said firft day of May.
Several ofthe city butchers having, at this time,
a stock of Sheep on hand, induces the Committee
to fix upon the firft day of January; that in the
mean time, they may dispose of them : But, as to
the country butchers and farmers, it is expected
they will neither kill or fell any Ewe Mutton or
Lamb, or bring any to market, from this day,
until the said firft day of May, or kill or fell any
Ewe Lamb, after the firft day of May, until the
firft day of October following.

In 'OMMITTE E, December 14, I„,
Committee Chamber, Nov. 30, 1774.
P. P.
IWAS much pleased to fee, in one of your
late papers, the care which the Committee of
this city have taken to prevent the deftrudion of
flieep, they, no doubt, intending thereby to pro
mote the manufacture of wool among us; every
step that is taken for the welfare of my country
gives me pleasure, and though perhaps in general
the woollen trade might not be altogether so ex
pedient /or a duration as some other branches,
yet, as the profped of affairs stands at present, 1
heartily concur with the proposals and advice giv
en by the Committee on the occasion, and will rea
dily agree to purchase my next suit of my own
country fabrication : Andas , the increase of any
trade, which tends to preserve our cash among
ourselves instead of fending it abroad for what
we want, whilst at the fame time it does not in
terfere with or prevent the culture of our lands,
must unavoidably be very beneficial, I would
therefore recommend to my countrymen, a fe i
ous con fideration thereof, and attention thereto,
for l am persuaded, and trust every dispassionate
person must be convinced, that we have the ele
ments and foundation for the support and continu
al eJlabUJhment of such trade within ourselves;
for which end let us apply to and encourage the
manufactures of the various branches of Iron,
Steel, Glass, Copper, Paper, Stone Ware, Cc. &c.
which are chiefly produced from the bowels of our
own ground, and which are utterly unnecessary
to be sent for fro n abroad, as the bread we eat,
or the flioes we wear, by a due encouragement of
these and other matters from the Importers, Venders
and Consumers of such articles, we might mi b
great ease preserve an annual sum of at least One
Hundred Thousand Pounds in this province alone,
the benefit whereof, when once duly established,
would be sensibly felt by every individual amongst
us: We cannot to be fare expert the wished suc
cess, unless we can nearly imitate or equal the
goods imported in point of price and quality, where
in l trust we may in some cases exce ; : But as per
fellion in the arts or feiences is not acquired all
at once, let not therefore, I beseech you, any
one who esteems or values himfelf as the friend and
well-wisher of his country, either in public or in
private, defpfe or refufe the purchase and use of
our native goods, because they may not perhaps
be equal in every minute circumftarlce to those
which are brought from afar; think you, my
brethren, that if this had been the case, the city of
Peterfourgh, in Russia, although founded since
Philadelphia, under absolute power, mould have
increased and flourifhed as it hath done, have been
twenty miles in circumference, or contained two
hundred thousand fouls, which it nearly doth at
this day : I judge it mouldnot but I presume
they were influenced by truly patriotic and noble
motives: Let us, my brethren, voluntarily fol
low their example in our application to trade
and' manufactures, arts and feiences, and I trust
we may likewise become the admiration of the
world.

properly ca tied into execution, and, in all ref
pe&s duly and puofluJly < bferved.
IV. Revived nnanimoufs, That it is the will
and desire of the people here met, that the said
Committee do execute the aid trust with firmnels
and fidelity; and that they do, in every refpe<st,
as carefully attend to, and puriue the rules and
directions for their government expressed and set
forth in the said association, as they would if
the fame had been enabled into a law by the le
gislature of this province : And particularly, that
they publickly advertise, without fear, favour, or
partiality, all such persons as (hall, within the li
mits of their jurisdiction, be guilty of a breach
thereof; in order that we may all know, and fuf
ficiently detest the covetous and deceitful Achans
of our days, who can thus sordidly trouble us, and
give our enemies cause to rejoice.
V. Resolved unanimously, That it will be pro
per, and is the desire of the electors here conven
ed, that the said Committee of Observation do ap
point a fufficient number of its members to a& as
a Committee of Correspondence with the Com
mittees in this and the neighbouring colonies, as
occasion may require: And that the said Commit
tee of Correspondence, when so appointed, do ap
point three or more of its members to attend the
next provincial meeting for choosing delegates to
represent this province at the General Congress,
to be held at Philadelphia, on the 10th of May
next.
VI. Rcfo'ved unanimously, That it will be pro
per, and appears to this meeting absolutely necef
firy, that our farmers should, as much as possible,
apply their grounds to railing of flax and hemp :
and that our young women, instead of trifling their
time away, do prudently employ it in learning the
use ofthe (pinning wheel.—The time calls for di
ligence, and no hand ought to be idle, that is ca
pable of contributing, in the least degree, to the
support of the public cause.
VII. Resolved unanimoufy, That the said Com
mittee of Observation do stand and remain a Com
mittee for the purposes aforefaid, until the 12th
of December next, unless our grievances are be
fore that time redressed, or such new resolutions
entered into by the General Congress as Ihall
render a frefh choice necessary; and that, fliould
the latter of these cases happen, they do then im
mediately convene the county, in order that such
frefh choice may accordingly take place.
