these now independent fates, with the indignity and
'ingratitude becoming so lignalacurfe. Great was the
dishonour we acquired during the contest, and Fame,
with her trumpet, has resounded it through the uni
verse. This Primitive Whig, I am afraid, will do
us the d—l and all of mifehief; however, he has
hit upon some hard words, which I am in hopes will
overbalance his arguments, for I must confefs they
are not only strong and forcible, but carry convicti
on, and his style is nervous and laconic. If
he had happened to fltip those hard words, we should
have been all in the suds, as sure as the d—l is in
London. But to some of the many advantages, which
may eventually accrue to us, from this most hopeful
measure: we once saw the time, in the hopeful days
of depreciated conti, when it was on the brink of
expiring, in consequence thereof the army of a
Washington ready to be disbanded, and all the hopes
of dur enemies blasted; but, alas ! they found friends,
who helped them with their treasure, and their blood,
and refeued them, from our blessed reign over them
with an iron rod, which we had every right to hope
for, and expect, from the deftrudion of their mo
ney; and now, if by any means, we can bring about,
or be so happy as to fee the country once more flood
ed with a new inundation of paper currency; we,
much difhonoured sons of Nova-Scotia, may once
more hope (from the great plenty of counterfeits,
which we must be very careful to make circulate,
from the depreciation which must inevitably take
place, from the divisions which it will neceflarily
create among the people, from the stagnation of trade,
from the difeouragement of virtue and industry, and
from the continuation and increase of the loss of
publick faith and private credit, &c. &c.) that with
the assistance of our good and inviolable friends, the
English (who from some good motive, no doubt,
keep possession of the posts at Detroit and Niagara,
ftri&ly agreeable to justice, and ftri&ly agreeable to
sacred treaty) I fay, we may hope to fee the time
again, when we Shall be enabled to take vengeance
for our past and present misfortunes, and constitute
ourselves the dignified lords and masters of Nova-
Anglia: then these boasted whigs, in the hour of
distress, when they Shall cry out for help, there Shall
be none to deliver; the nations, who Shall find them
unjust, unfaithful, dishonest and dishonourable, will
laugh at their calamity, and mock when their fear
cometh.
I Shall conclude this Short essay, with a few words
upon another fubjed or two, which demands ourmoft
earnest attention. It seems the people in this land of
liberty have got it by the head, to gradually abolilh
Slavery; however, thank fortune, the majority as yet
seem to think the antient prophesy of Noah is not yet
fufficiently accomplished, and may these sentiments
long continue, for if they Should once abolish Slavery
entirely, they might have some right to expect to
enjoy the blessings of liberty in the fulleft extent.
And another thing, they talk of giving Congress full
power to regulate their commerce, and of importing
mo more than their exports will pay for, and by that
means revive industry and frugality; but I trust their
great pallion for gewgaws and Superfluities will hin
der them from the adoption of this wife measure, and
pulh them on heels over head as heretofore, in all
their commercial affairs. I hope my brethren will
not fail to exert themselves to the utmost, for every
measure that may tend to the ruin and deftrudion of
the present holders of these United States, and the
aggrandifement of us poor New-Scotland men; and
against every measure that may conduce to the wel
fare and emolument of these dates, and the prolonga
tion of our difagreeble feelings.

RAN away from the fubferiber, in Greenwich town
ship, Gloucester county, Weft New-Jersey, two
indented Irish servants, one named James Murphy,
aged about 22 years, 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high, well
made, fair complexion, and pretty much marked with
the small-pox, light coloured hair, which he wears
tied, came with the Britjfh army to America, and has
hnce been in different parts of Jersey, has been a wai
ter at a publick house in Trenton, as he fays, is
very fond of strong drink, and it is likely will try to
get in the fame employ again. The other named Wil
liam M'Cormack, aged about 18 years, 5 feet 3 or 4
inches high, pretty stout made, excepting his legs
which are slim, dark complexion, black bufliy hair,
and a very full face, thick short neck, and a hobbling
kind of a walk, fays he was born in the county Tirone
and served some time to the taylor's trade before he
came away; tis likely he will try to get employ in
that way. The above servants had on and took with
them each an oldish hat, two light coloured cloth coatees
(one had lappels to the breast) one brown grogram
ditto, and cloth under jacket fame colour, with a wool
len striped coatee and jacket of the fame, one light
coloured cloth great coat, two pair of white cloth
breeches, two pair of corduroy ditto, one pair of lea
ther ditto, each a pair of strong hobnailed flioes, to
gether with five other pair of different kinds, five pair
of flockings, two pair of which were blue, two other
pair black, and one pair white. Whoever takes up
said servants, and secures them, so that their master
may get them again, shall have the above reward,
paid by ELIJAH COZENS.
N. B. 'Tis probable they may change their names,
and, as it is thought the last is likely to be the ring
leader, there will be fix dollars given for him if taken fe,
parate and secured as aforefaid.
