Refolvcd, That 'lis Excellency the Go
vernor be, and hi is hereby rcquefted to
iilue a proclamation, cautioning the good
people of this .State against practices so
incompatible with the principles of neu
trality, and which if permitted or indul
ged would inevitably involve this country
in confufion and disorder.
Rcfotved, That it is, in the opinion of
this General Afiembly, the duty of all
officers, civil and military, within this
State, to use all reasonable and legal
means to prevent the enlisting of men or
troops for any foreign power, within the
ju,rifditiion of this State ; and that if such
attempts be made after the publication of
the proclamation of the Governor, that
tj)e persons so offending ought to be pro
ceeded againlt as disturbers of the public
tranquility, and as enemies to the peace
and happiness of their country.

The Pod-Office business was then tak
en up in committee of the whole. A vast
number of new poll roads were ordered,
without opposition. The committee then
came to the consideration of that part of
the report which relates to newspapers,
and it was moved, that the pottages of
them {hould be reduced to half a cent to
dittances not exceeding 100 miles, and
one cent for any greater di'iance. This
was advocated on the ground, that newspa
pers from the feat of government and the
large towns mutt convey more complete
information than feledions from them by
country printeis in weekly papers, and
that the editors of them not only poff«*ft
more ample means of information ; but
are generally better informed. The mo
tion was opposed, from a wish to encou
rage country prefles, whose papers, it
was laid, did not lose on a comparison
with the wretched productions of the me
tropolis The committee rose without
taking a quetlion, and the House adjourn
