^rf, PRINTERS,
WHEN a man takes his pen in hand to Binder the oSa
ra&er of another, buc especially when he reflets on
the charod-r of a whole town, it raises my indignation, as
I doubt not it would the contempt of that town, and ought
of the whole community.
Farmington, as refpedable as any town in this county,
thought it high time in a modett manner to propose a Con
vention of Delegates to give force and energy to the laws
against Illicit Trade, no: doubting but the towns in the
county would readily concur. It is true the time of the
Convention was not to well calculated (being in the midst
ofharveft) as it might have been, the Convention thought
so, therefore prudently adjourned a^ing till the thirteenth
instant.
But Pacificus, after canting on the introdudion of the
Sown meeting, or the record, fays, " well calculated to
excite the populace to what may be called unjuftifiable mea
sures to suppress illicit trade," goes on to exculpate himfelf
before he is accused, of having any hand in the illicit trade.
He very rationally ju!ged the world would fufped him ;
and notwithstanding his declaring on his honor that he
won't trull British faith, and hath not purchased, except
Tea, British manufactures, or any articles of their com
merce to the amount of forty shillings since the Lexington
battle ; yal mult tike time and have better evidence than
is here off-;cd. to beli ve but that Pacificus is largely con
ne&ed in the Loug-Iflmd trade. He goes on to fry, '' Will
ihat Convention have the power of legislation ?" laufwer
No. '' Can they add to the laws al eady made, or lay men
icider stronger obligations to observe them ?' I answer,
yes, they can ; and if they are such as I believe will ap
prnr in Convention, gentlemen of refpe&able chara&rs,
they willjoin hand in hand, they will Itrengchen the hanos
and encourage the hearts of the legislative body. But the
tar and feathers seems a terror to him as it used co do in
former times to our old fashioned torics. Their crime was
of a flicking or stinking nature, and what better to apply
than tar and feathers; in short, it made some tolerable
•higs—this slur on the Convention deserves no better an
swer. He feevs anxious to know whether the major part
efthe town of Farmington were prelent—that is what l
cannot inform him, as I do not belong to that town ; that
they can do when they can fi id leisure, if they think it not
beneath their contempt. That times often do, and theft
timesloudly call for such • convention, is what no hunch
man of any penetration will dilpute. The greareft good to
these States hath sprung out of a Convention, when greater
oppofeion that Pacificus is able to make, was made ; every
member was threatned with deftru&ion of perlon and estate,
but the happy result of these Conventions we feel in the er
foyment of our liberties, and our children will feel it to the
luteH posterity ; and I hope this hobby ho/fe is not so jaded
but she will carry us through the journey of liberty, though
it should nettle Pacificus till he fainted. It seems notwith
standing he altogether disapproves Conventions, yet he
makes application to them in the elofe of his piece, which,
although it shows his inconsistency, is well enough, and I
esteem it the belt part of his performance ; and I would add
something to it, and propose to the Convention that they
recommend it te the several towns to chcofe committees of
infy%aion, as the law directs, of able dilcreet men, whose
bunnefs let it be to seize all goods illegally imported, take
up all fufpe&d persons, &c. &c. and correspond frequent
ly with the commits es of ocher towns, as used to be the case,
and the business was then eff anally done. But since the
law is altered, and it is made the business of all officers civil
and military, i e. every bodys business, it is no bodys bu
siness, and the business is wholly ncgle&d, except the pro
fitable part. At the lame timel would propose articles of
Affuci ition, drawn up for every town to come into, that
they will not cither directly or indiredly import or have any
connexions, trade and deal with any that do, and other
m atrers that may be for the public good.
I am, Meflieurs Printers, your and the pu! lie's sincere
friend and humble servant,
CONVENTIONALIST.
