are those among us who, prompted by the third of
felf-intereft, deaf,to the cries of their bleeding
country, and destitute of every principle of patrio
tism, are endeavouring all in their power to encou
rage mi intercourse and traffick, of all othets ^
nloft unnatural and ruinous, and which we are fer
ry to lay is already become fa dangerous and claim
ing, that we conceive it will not be in the bower
of the officers of government to suppress and bring
the offenders to puniffiment, cnlefs aided by tire
citizens generally ; that encouraging, cr even con
niving at, or not using every possible means effec
tually to destroy such base intercourse and traffick
with so savage and relentless an enemy, is not on
ly unbecoming the charaaer of freemen and good
citizens, but is at the fame time a mofrglarirg
mark of difrefpe& and ingratitude to a nation, f an
which we have, in the hour of difficulty, derived
the most effectual affidance,, and whole difinte efted
and noble exertions claim from us every pofiibic
acknowledgment and preference: And it being evi-
dentlfathe duty of every good citizen thus circum
ftancddl, attentively to confider the glorious prin
ciple Which gave rife to the revolution, Q r - i to :e
---curm those principles which, under God, have
conducted us to the present crisis, and will be the
most effectual means of bringing the context to a
glorious and fuccefsful iiTue: We have determined
on the following resolutions, viz.
I. We will, to our utmost, detect and bring to
justice, all who may be in any-wife conceited in
this pernicious traffick, and use every lawful means
to prevent anj suppress it.
2. To which end we will, to the utmost of our
power and influence, strengthen the hands of all
officers, civil and military, in the difeharge of their
duty, and support the full and vigorous execution
of the laws.
3. We will give every assistance to these who
are veiled with authority, to restrain and punish all
suspicious persons travelling without proper palfes
cr certificates, or carrying British goods, or other
property made seizable by law.
4. We will avoid, as much as possible, all in
tercourse, communication and dealing, with such
as have been, or may be, concerned in trading with
the enemy.
5. We will give every support and Pittance in
our power to those who will exert themselves to
detect and bring to justice persons concerned, either
diredly or indiredly, in trading with the enemy,
and treat as mean, falfe and designing, every insi
nuation that such endeavours are in the lead de
gree inconsistent with honour and good citizenship,
or that they are not highly becoming and praise
worthy.
6. In prosecution of these objects we will, at
the fame time, difeountenance and oppose all ads
