emitted by the act of the Legislature of the 20th
December, 1783, for railing a revenue of Thirty one
Thousand two Hundred and Fifty-nine Pounds Five
Shillings per annum, for paying the interest and prin
cipal of the publick debts, depends principally, if not
wholly, upon the Arid and pd6&ual collection of the
taxes, all township and county collectors an called
upon, in the most pointed terms, to make th ir pay

far as depends on him, to execute the law to the ut
most; the county collectors have a proper remedy
against the township collectors ; and the latter against
the taxables.—On the execution of the law depends
its use and effect; a compliance with it is easy ; and,
after this notice, no person can complain of conse

A Young Woman,
THE
It is alone the province of the merchant of probi
ty, sense and experience, to form fuccefsful plans for
the advancement of trade—he is, in his peculiar line
of life, fupericr to the most sublime genius; he has
tried the issue of opinions—he has tasted the sweets
of success—and proved the pangs of disappointment,
too poignant not to be ufefully remembered. Thus,
in the exercise of his profeffion, he acquires a habit
of reasoning with justness and perspicuity; and by a
talent of his own, deducing the most unerring conclu
sions from the facts before him. And on this (core
it is, that in most trading countries, persons of this
class are fele&ed and formed into a kind of commer
cial council, to assist the government with their advice
in all matters relating to trade.
There are indeed some of our landed men, who,
from miflaken notions of the unfavourable operation
of commerce upon their interests, view this ufeful
class of men with an unbecoming, and unreasonable
jealousy.—l hey regard them as so many grasping ri
vals, who have set up an interest opposite to theirs,
and would fain build a pyramid of money upon the
ruins of the landed interest. But in ray opinion, there
To the Printer of the New-Jersey Gazette.
SI R,
IT is scarcely possible for the most intuitive genius
to judge well of the interests of commerce, with
out the aid of long and extensive experience, they are
so various, so interwoven, and have so nice a connec
tion and dependence of one part upon another. The
links of the great chain that unite, and form a systema
tical whole of these interests, are in many instances
too small to be perceived by a common eye. Mere
theory is of all things the most dangerous"; it often
leads to error, and sometimes proves fatal to com^
merce, as appears by the vain, inoperative, and ill
judged laws of many of the trading nations of Eu
rope.
3. And be it further Enacted by the Authority
aforefaid, That all merchants, being freemen, and ci
tizens of the said free cities or ports, or either of
them, and actually residing within the bounds of the
fame; and all persons being freemen and citizens of
either of the said free cities and ports, and residing
therein, and being actually employed in commerce,
shall be exempted from all taxes and assessments for
their profefiions as merchants, and for their stock and
vessels employed in commerce, for the said term of
twenty-five years, from the firft day of October next!
Provided always, That nothing in this aft contained
shall be construed or understood to debar the Legisla
ture of this state, within the aforefaid term, from lay
ing an impost or duty upon any goods, wares or mer
chandize, imported into the laid free cities or ports,
which may prove injurious to, and discourage the ma
nufactories in this state.

and all goods, wares and merchandize whatsoever,
imported immediately from any foreign port, into
either of the said free ports, and there actually unla
