The Pennsylvania evening post — Philadelphia, Pa., 1776-11-09 00:00:00, page 4

Mr. Towxz;
WE out of doors people hear there was a cabinet council
held last evening, at the Philosophical society hail,
said to be on business of great importance. It is pity, Mr.
Printer, that in a state so lately declared tree, a junto of gran
dees and their lickfpittle echoes, Ihould so clandestinely and
unprecedentedly pursue a series of measures planned in the
dark, and forced on the people by surprise and little less
outrage than took place at tne famous Brentford election.
Constitutions wherein the authority of the people is to have
any thing more than a name, where ever the abhorrence of a
certain let of men, who never did nor may reasonably be ex
pected to miss an opportunity by fraud or force to overthrow
them as speedily as possible.
A gentleman, who spoke but too sensibly against the late ex
traordinary proceedings at the State-house, was openly told, in
a public tavern, that in case he presumed te appear again on
the next day, he would have been pulled or pushed down from
the sage.
cQfery, Have we got Lutterel's, Balfs, and Mac Quirks
enough to demolish the freedom of Pennsylvania ? Nay even .
to Hide our excellent constitution, by meer violence, i< its
very cradle ? If any part of that wifely framed plan of go
vernment be, yet imperfed, for peace fake, for order, and
good government's fake, for fake of the honor of Pennsyl
vania, and the tranquillity of the United States; for fake of
cur common fafety in the neighbourhood of a formidable
common enemy, abetted by too many within our own bo
soms, let us have a little time to examine and confider it;
and when the people of the whole Rate concur with the diffa
tisfied party that any amendment is advifeable, let a Con
vention be called ; and, in the fame fair and open manner,
debate and agree upon the alterations, as the late honorable
Convention did upon the original frame. Then shall we
Rill be quiet and happy at home, and refpeded abroad ;
whereas a contrary conduct can only ensure our confuiion
and diigrace. PACABILIS.
