On the Freedom of the Press.
(Said to be ^written by Dr. Franklin.)
WHILE free from force the Press remains,
Virtue and freedom chear our plains,
And learning largesses bestows,
And keeps unlicens'd open boufe.
We to the nation's publick mart,
Our works of wit, and schemes of art,
And philosophic goods this way,
Like water-carriage, cheap convey.
This tree which knowledge so affords,
luquifaors with flaming swords
From lay-approach with zeal defend,
Left their oiun paradise ihould end.
The Press from her fcecundous womb,
Brought forth the arts of Greece and Rome;
Her off'fpring, (kill'd in logic war,
Truth's banner wav'd in open air;
And lawless pow'r, the long kept field,
By reason quell'd, was fore d to yield.
This Nurse of arts, and Freedom's fence,
To chain, is treason against sense;
And liberty, thy thousand tongues,
None lilence who design no wrongs;
For thole that ufc the gag's restraint,
First rob, before they stop complaint.
.Thirty Span'ifh milled Dollars Reward.
RA N away from the fubferiber, about five
weeks ago, a Mulatto FELLOW, named
Jack, about five feet two or three inches high, fair
complexion, black befhy hair: Had on when he
went away, a drab coloured cloth coat, leather
breeches, a red furtout coat very large for him.
He is a good tempered fellow when sober, but sul
ky and quarrelsome in liquor; he is well acquainted
with the country, having been two or three times
at Boston, and was servant to Dodot Hutchinson
when the army were at Valley-forge. He is a good
taylor, and probably may be skulking in some part
of the country, working at that trade. Whoever
takes up said fellow, and delivers him to the fub
feriber at Philadelphia, or George Davis at Tien
ton, shall have the above reward; and all persons
are forbid harbouring him, as by so doing they will
be prosecuted as the law directs
' ANDREW CALDWELL.
N. B. Said feltow would have been advertised
before, but as he had a trick of absenting himfelf
for two or three weeks at a time and returning
home, it was thought he might do the fame now.
