Whereas the time for which the Committee of Infpe&ion
and Observation for the city and liberties, of Philadelphia, as
well as the times for which, the Committees of several coun

piring; and whereas the Associators ofxhe said city and
counties, who compose a great majority of the electors, are.
or may be, at such expiration, ablent in the fervid of their
country ; and it would .'be. highly inexpedient that the said

said city and counties refpe&ively ; kali continue to execute
the duty of their said offices until the militia of such city
and counties jefpediv.ely shall return, and other Committees ,
be regularly cholen. Excepting from this resolve the Com-.
