ft IC HM ON (Virginia June 7. ,
The honorable the General Assembly of this i
Rate have voted an immediate payment of Fif
ty Thousand pounds to Congress ; and the funds'
out of which this money is dire&ed to be paid,
being fully equal to that demand, it affords sen
sible pleasure that Virginia, by the wisdom of
the ligiflature, will retrieve ner character of
gpod faith and exertion among the United States;
and pursue the way to the restoration of Ame
rican credit, and the establishment of a perma
nent system of finance, to which, we are well
assured, the present endeavours of the legislature
are zealously pointed.
W E the inhabitants of the town of Ports
mouth, who have so recently felt the dire efFe&s
of the treasonable and most flagitious villainy,
perpetrated by those execrable mifereants called
tories, and who, to our great astonishment, we
find, are meditating an attempt to regain a set
tlement in this town ; and as it is a measure as
insolent and audacious, as their late actions have
been treacherous and perfidious, we find it in
difpenfibly necessary for measures to be adopted
to counteract the fame ; knowing to be morally
impoflible for men, whose principles have been
so diametrically the reverse to each other, ever
to become the citizens of one town. Knowing
also, that we have too many nominal whigs, in
our vicinity, who from interested or infiduous
motives are desirous of renewing their former
connexions with those vilest of thieves and rob
bers, and that a timely check may prevent fu
ture disaster, relying that it will ever remain il
legal for us to live, or associate with perjured vil
lains. We do pledge to each other our faith
and honor, that we will, firft by gentle measures,
do all we can do to prevent all traitors from ef
feXing a settlement among us, and if that will
not do, coercive measures must follow.
