Yet still you # 'cd me more and more astray !
When to my throne their injuries they preferr'd,
By you advis'd their fuft"rings to deride,
With Supercilious ear their plaints I heard,
Or with repullive scorn their suit deny'd !
To infamy confign'd my hated name ^ ^

THE Committee of observation and cor
respondence for the county es Somerfer,
in the Province of New-Jersey, at their meet
in at Hillfborough, m Wednesday the 14th ul*.
took into their confederation the great impor
tance of promoting manufactures in America at
this time. '1 hey were Speedily convinced of
the happy Situation of the county of Someifet
for an inland trade, and were informed from
every quarter, of the spirited endeavours of
particular persons to promote manufactures of
different kinds After mature deliberation 011
what it was their dutyand in their power to
do, to continue and improve the diffolii ion now
so generally prevailing, they fixed upon this
principle,---- lhat whatever will make it easy
tor every person, old or young, rich or poor,, to
do a little, and immediately to turn that little
to his own advantage as well as throw it into
the public service, must have the most imme
diate and powerful influence. With this view
tuey determined that there Should be fixed mar,
kets indifferent parts of this county, for tie
materials and instruments of mauuiaCtures in
general, but particularly the linen and woollen,
and for goods in every stage of their progress:
Therefore the public may expert at the places
and times under written, markets for wool,
woollen yarn, cloth, fine and coarse wool cards;
and for flax rough and drefled, linen yarn in
an Y quantity, cloth green and whitened, also
reeds and mounting for looms, wheels, reclr,
&c. I hefe market days will also be very pro
per times for meeting, for persons of substance
^°. ^t ve ° ut> '"'d P oor people to receive flax for
Spinning. # All the gentlemen concerned in pro
jewing this measure, and many others, will
encourage it to the utmost of their power, by
buying what they can turn to account, and
felling what they have to spare. The Commit
tee are also desirous that the reason and necessity
of it Should appear. General industry cannot
be produced in any other way ; many poet
people (eld and young) would spin a little if
they knew where to turn it into ready money
at the end of, week or a month, but they have
neither Slock to purchase the materials, nor are
they able to wait the time, nor find the hands
and afliitmee neceflary to bring it to 2 fabrick
of any consequence ; and on the other hand,
many persons of better Station would do a great
deal if they could readily be Supplied with such
materials or work, as they hand in need of to
compleat what they have. The laudable and
generous undertakings by subscription, to carrv
on manufactures of any particular branch are
proper for cities and not for the country ; nor
are they by any means so free from risk as the
method here proposed, in which indeed there
is neither ri^c nor expence, but a door opened
fur every one to turn his own or family's indus
try to his own immediate or greatest gain. It
is also supposed that this scheme, if carried
into execution, will be an advantage to the
laige manufactories, and they to the country.
If plenty and variety are produced, purehafers
will come from a considerable distance. It :^
therefore earnestly requeued and hoped, that
public fp: ited persons, will give encourasr
ment to this plan at firft, particularly by brin g
!°o J° ^de whatever they czn spare, because
It is supposed there will be many more
buyers than fellers, in the present fate of
things. After it is begun there is little doub-,
that common interest will keep it up, and pc -
haps invite others to imitate it.
In prosecution of this plan, a market is to
be held for the Yettern precinft, at Princeton;
and for Bedminfter, at Pluckimin ; being dis
tant parts of the county, on the firfl Tueffr
of March next; and in like manner on the firft
Tuesday of every month. ]or Bernard's town,
at John Boylan's; and for the Euftern precinct,
at James Whitlock's ; the second Tuesday ij.
Merch, and so on monthly. For Bridgewater
at Bound Biook, on the third 1 uefdavof March
and so on monthly. And, for Hillfoorough, at
Somerset Court House, the fourth Tuefttyin
Match; and So on monthly, as above. Ey
this means there will be a market, with fe^
exceptions, every week in the year, in some
part of this extensive county.
Ihe above is published by order of the
Committee.
