Whereas I the subscriber have most imprudently and
indiscreetly reported and spread abroad throughout the
said county, that a certain Major Michael Pobft of the

Capt. in Weifenburg townthip, had unjustly received and
taken at Philadelphia Twenty Shillings per {ead for every

thip aforefaid, by which means many well wishers to the
American canfe were deterred from Egning or associating
together, agreeable to the resolves of the Hon. House of

do hereby ask pardon of my effended citizens, promising
in future to condu mylelf so as to regain their good

We, the subscribers, inhabitants of Maccongie town

the said township to receive and take the arms from the
non-associators and other difaffected persons agreeable to
the resolves of the Hon. House of Assembly ; and that we
did most imprudently refufe to deliver up the fame, and
also did refufe to pay any obedience to the summons of
the Committee of this county, who were therefore ob
liged to fend a party of Associators to compel us to an
swer for our mifcondu& ; and that we did then resist their
authority by loaded fire arms, to the endangering of their
lives. Being now convinged and made sensible of our error,
we do humbly ask pardew «f cur injured and incensed
countrymen, promiling to deliver up our fife arms im
mediately to the persons appointed for that purpose.
And that we will in future demean and condué ourselves
in such a 2 manner as to recommend us to the friends of
