A NIGHT PIECE.
IN the pleating gloom of night,
Let me ftcal from mortal fight;
Oft unnotic'd may I rove,
Thro' the shady darkfome grove,
W here pale Cynthia's feeble beam,
Silvers o'er the gurgling dream ;
While sweet Philomela's notes,
Echo'd from harmonious grotts,
Gently founding thro' the vale,
Attunes the foft nocturnal gale.
And Sportive fairy elves are seen,
Careless tripping o'er the green,
Singing blythe as they advance,
Leading up the harmless dance;
Thither Fancy, fickle queen,
let me wander oft unseen,
Oft here bend my devious way, ]
When the fun's declining ray, )
Puts a period to the day. i ]
Those Gentlemen who are forming them
selves into Companies in Defence of their
Liber ties; and others that are not provid

POLITICAL DISQUISITIONS:
An ENQUIRY into Public Errors, De
fects and Abuses.
Illustrated by, and established upon Fa&s and
Remarks, extracted from a Variety of Au\
thors, ancient and modern.
Calculated to dra^ the timely Attention of
Government and People, to a due Conside
ration of the Necessity and the Means of re
forming those Errors, Defers and Abufes';
of restoring the Constitution, and faring the
State.
By J. BURGH, Gentleman;
Author of'the Dignity of Human Nature, and
other Works,
The AMERICAN EDITOR
to Hii COUNTRYMEN.
IN this work, are freely and justly exhibited,
by the most able politicians, and th? great
ch legislators of ancient and modern times ; the
errors and corruptions of those governments,
which always have, and for ever will, bring ru
in and deftrudion upon the liberties of mankind.
The inhabitants ofßritain, whose organs of
fight are become so very dim, that their ruleis
daily deceive them with the Shadow indeed of
the substance ; are throughout the whole, held
up as woful and convincing mementoes, how,
and by what me pis, the royal, ministerial, and
parliamentary managers, cajole, tempt, and
bribe the people to commit suicide on their
own liberties, and afterwards hang them in
chains of everlasting slavery, for the great crime
of believing place-men and pensioners, ever in
tended, or were capable of intending any good
to them or their country. Americans, behold
them ! There they are! mod effectually gib
beted ; and there they are likely to remain, al
most unpitied. Beoaufe dear bought experience,
hath taught all those whose faculties of feeling, as
well as of feeing, are not entirely extinguished;
that the immediate extirpation, and absolute an
nihilation of all exorbitant incomes, even of the
King, as well as thole near him, is the only
probable, or possible way, to keep men virtuous
citizens, and to make the liberties es any coun
try p rpetual.

AND NOW SELLING BY
R OBERT BEL L,
Printer and Bookseller, next door to
St. Paul's Church, Third-Street, Phila-
DELPHIA.
For no man mould ever be admitted near the
helm of government, except those honest and
exalted beings, whole chief actuation of foul, a
rifeth from, and is continually pervaded with a
love of honour, liberty, and their country. The
lelfifh part of the world, along with all those
who are confeious of possessing, either bad or
narrow fouls, will tell us, these are obsolete
words, that have no meaning- We (hall leave
that toa future determination,after inferring and
averring, they may and ought, in plain English,
to mean a-constant attention, and an invariable
attachment to the good of the whole commu
nity.
The perufil of the work at this important
period, will be attended with the most salutary
and certain advantages, if the inhabitants of
America will be so rational, as to a& wifely, in
taking warning from .the folly of others, by per
mitting no ministerial extravagancies to enter
into their plan- They will then start fair, for
laying a sure foundation that freedom (hall last
for many generations ; and the great expence of
blood and treasure, which the present grand
zonflia must cost, will in some measure be com
pensated tor, by the goodness and permanancy
of the new erection, which must be conftru&ed,
if the infatuated ministry of Britain, continue
to persist in their ignominious attempt of making

twenty five acres, three of which is now in

good stable, chair-house and other out-houses;
an exceeding good garden, well flocked ; a
young orchard, and a variety of thriving fruit

To the PUBLI C.
What amendment in the constitution, and what
increase of neighbourly love there would be,
if greater regard were paid to that so truly
valuable rule " Do as you wou'd BE
DONE UNTO."
IT concerns me'in a ver, particular manner,
to be under the necessity of thus addrefling
you, but flatter myfelf the visible cause will in
part plead my excufe:—When I set out to e-
Itablifli this Office in June 1.764, it was upon
the ftri& principles of doing justice to ray em
ployers, and rendering them every service pof
lible, within my power and ability ; my chief
object in view was that support which, through
your considerate favours, I have hitherto ob
tained, and by which I have received your
greatest approbation of the undertaking. I in
deed had it in my hopes, that an experienced
conduct, added to the approving myfelf a use
ful member to fociety,would one day be the means
to reftare, that the greatest liberty a dependent
individual can enjoy, “ the full exercise of his
regular profeffion;" but in this I have hitherto
been disappointed, and now, from the increas
ing difficulty of the prefect unhappy times, I
feel the want of that liberty in a manner I ne
ver expected :---Still to be kept in a disbranch'd
state, after living so many years a decent inha
bitant of this relpe&able city, is, with great defe
rence, an uncommon hardship, efpeci'ally consi
dering (unless firft attached)' I have never said
,or done ought, to give offence. That I have
rather too closely pursued the impolitic maxim
of letting the morrow take care for itfelf, may
be true, but none can fay I have aded as the
bad tenant, who carries the manure offhis Lord
flip's farm, for I have cheerfully distributed my
little earnings on the spot, and ever gloried in
your enabling me to support the character of a
Gentleman, in despite of all my enemies : Of
whom! let the most invidious and designing,
call me by what nick-name they may, Whig or
Tory, or urge what their own wickedness can
invent to my difadvantage,---until I ffiall be put
into pofleffion of my last fix feet freehold, this
will be my principle, and this my ever fervent
wilh, “ That the crown and dignity of my
Royal Sovereign may be supported, and a spee
dy peace, both lasting and honourable, restored
to America, without that effufion of blood which
may endanger a division of this fine country, in
any manner similar to that of the Polilh Plumb
Cake
As a brother from Adam, &c. nearly return
ing into Mama's lap, I crave your occasional re
membrance of this Office, upon a firm depen
dance that the business thereof will be effectual
ly executed, and that I remain with great truth,
Your affectionate friend.
