from Great Britain. What America must save un:
der theie three heads will be very considerable;
although it would not be ealy to calculate. But
take for the fake of an example a Engle article of
import; fee how many pounds of tea are annually
consumed, then estimate the difference between its
price in England and Holland, or those places wehave
mentioned in our statement where it can be had
cheaper, and you will be aftonilhed at the greatness
of the sum this country will lave only upon this
article.
To conclude. Let no reasoning ,eifuade you
that yon bright to leave tfc acgompbliiment of a
commercial Treaty Entirely tot your c^himiffioners.
1 hey are anxious that you fliould assist their labours,
by giving proof to Europe, thatyou are united and
can ad as, a nation. You are advised by some not
►to give this proof, arid the resolutions of those
^' es th" display it, are made the object of cenfrire
^Do not fuffer yourselves to fink into a Rate of
quietifm on a point do interesting, nor believe those
preachers who argue in favor of doing nothing. I
would not have you to Shew resentment, but dig
nity; this will make you admired, another conduct
delpifed. Be affQred that Cheat Britain in particu
lar is more anxious to fell her thanafanfare's than you
to buy them ; and that it is more her iritereft to
gain your trade than yours to give it. Ah increas
ing and prosperous, people without manufactures are
to her what South America is to Spain. Her ex
igence in a great measure depends on your conlump
tio i. Only think, were three million of people to
resolve to do without her manufactures, what muff
be the event. Maryland is proceeding in this great
business with caution: (he has laid feme light duties
upon goods imported in British bo toms, but I
presume foe expeds the other dates will follow her
example; as remaining Singular would not nnfwer
the intention of these duties., Shelias affo, in the
fame ad laying the duties, proposed a new article
for the confederation; but this cannot be operative
till every aateag/ees to one fubftahtiaty the fame.
The power it contains is pointed at no kingdom;
and in its fullest effect mult increase our navigation:
and we may reasonably expert, that under this
power Con^refs would devise a navigation a& suited
to the circumstances of this country. If toy memory
Serves me right, when Great Britain paffid her na
vigation aft, she had little more than 80,000 ton of
flopping —she has now about 800,000, laid to be
the fruit of this celibrated aft!

The i^hTh^er cf the Beok of Chronicles
fell by accident into THE" Kami s' of some person,
who undertook to make what he thought an Im
provement on it ; the real Author is sorry for the
liberty io taken, fends the true copy as originally
written, arid hopes you will print it so.
The sole object of the Author is, not to make
indecent remarks on perform] defers, but to deter
one party from ^lans of Tyranny, and put others
on their guard against such plans.
The 10th Chapter of the frf Book of Chronicles.
1. A"° ' — n reined in the land : four years
reigned he; and he did that which was
evil in the fight of the Lord, and provoked him to
anger; and the people fuffered for their fins which
they bi committed, above all that their fathers
had done. , ,
2. And it came to pass in the eighth year after
the people came out of the house cf bondage, that
William the Hibernite kept an house, which Was in
the midst of the city, where the 'men, of the city did
Sacrifice with offerings of savory meat, and. of bread;
and of wine, which gladdereth the heart of man.
3, And tlw ECe sos the city, and their wives,
and their sons, and their daughtes, oft assembled at
the house of William the Hibernite, and danced in
the assemblies of the people; and before them the
cunning men founded the trumpets, and piped with
pipes, and played on the timbrels, arid fiveet in
struments, and rejoiced with exceeding great joy,
so that the earth rent with the found thereof.
4. And also the wife men of the city, who kept
the books of Proverbs and cunning sayings; and
also such as locked after the poor and the sojourner
within the land, met at the house of William the
Hibernite.-
§. And it came to pass, that the day on which
the Hihernites of the city did facrifice with offerings
of red and white wines, j—n sent a maided, even
an Ethiopian damsel, whom he loved, unto the
house of William; and the Ethiopian was beautiful
to look upon.
6. And because William would not speak kindly
unto the damsel, J —n was wroth against William,
and said unto him; " I believe the Ethiopian be
fore thee ; thou' didst rebel against my command
ments, and thou beareft falfe witness against me;
and against her:" and William went his way.
7. And William was among the %% of ^ar.
who dwelt in tents, and went to battle and over
threw the Britonites, whom the Lord delivered
into our hands; and he lent word unto J —n, and
laid; “ As thou lived, and as thy foul liveth, I
will hot fuffer this thing from thee."
& And J —n was heavyard displeased, because
of the words which William had spoken unto him;
and he laid him down upon his bed, and turned
away his face, and would not eff bread.
9. And he' called unto him his brethren, and
T s the Scribe, and R h the Elder, who,
while the war with the Britonites raged fore, So
journed in the city of the Parif/tes, as Ambafia
dor to the F^renites, who abound with oil, that
giveth man a cheerful countenance.
10. And they said unto j—n, Why are thy spirits
fad, - Q
If. Arid J —n answered and said, I Hand in
fear of Wiltiam ™rhe Hibernite, who is a man of
Belial and a;<warFi&.—
12. And bis brethren, and T s the Scribe,
and R——h who holdeth it as an abomination,
that the people Jbould bear rule, said unto J —n,
Haft thou not been ruler;over,this land ? haft thou
not had chari'ets, hid an hundred men to run be
fore thee ? and Shalt thou not take vengeance on
Wlljam, who is poor, and weak, and hath none to
help him? arise; let thine heart be merry; Wil
liam the Hibernite mail pals away in thy presence,
as chaff before the wind.
13. Go thou; apply to the Elders of the peo
ple, and bear thou witness against Willidto; faying,
William did bldjfheme God a,nd the people ; and
peradventure the Elders may, like Unto the f/fy ones,
give ear 'unto thy Mayings, and get wroth, so that
William be carried <c prison, or brined with Rones
that he die. .., ~ „
14. And it came to pass that the Elders of the
people bowed their faces to the earth, and did re
verence to J —q, and were iorely wroth against Wil
liam; and because of the anger of J —n, kept
J^ibiam in ward for many days. ,
1,. And the foul of T—-—s the Scrife was not
fatisfied with the captivity .of William, but longed
sorely that the Elders would make a commandment
unto the people ; faying, let Williams an abomi
. nation in the land; let him be banished from the
borders thereof within forty days, and if he return,
let him die, and be in the eyes of J —n as a field in
the haiveft before.the face of a whirlwind: but the
Elders went every one his way. .„ .
16. And J —n called unto him T-—- s the
Scribe, who was leagued with him of old, faying,
There is none so prudent and discreet as thou art in
all thy ways : let me, I' pray thee, give thee coun
fe!; for as the Lord liveth, my foul Shall not find
rest, until William, and his wife, and his little ones,
shall be without subsistence, and as if there was no
bread in the land.
17. Take thou charge therefore, that the E ders,
nor their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters,
shall assemble again, nor offer facrifice in the danc
ing assemblies of the people, at the house of Wil
liam; and behold, remove thou from thence the
found of the trumpets, and of pipes, and of sweet
instruments; and let the house of William be fo
litar'/° .
18. And T: ——s the Scribe anfweririg, said;
May the Lord do this unto me and more, if 1 per
form not What thou commanded.,
19. And T— — s being put over the books of
wisdom, and of proverbs, and of canning payings,
caused the foreran feaft, held aforetime at the house
of William, th ^eremoved to the, house of E d
the Hibernate, which lieth by the way as thou
"goeft along the sea fide ; and he also confpire^ to
remove from thence th? dancing assemblies of the
people, and the trumpets and iweet instruments.
20. And the men of the city marvelled, and
were afraid, faying;
21. Seeing that J—n will not be offended even
in small niattrirs without destroying him who of
fendeth, yea verily, every man is in jeopardy; and
the men of the city, and their wives, and their little
ones, may become before him like unto a deer
that findeth no paftifc, but fle'eth without ftrerigth
before the pursuer.
22. Seeing therefore that J —n and his party,
O' sßulers, will be opprefTofs, and as men will bear
no equals; is it not meet I pray thee, that every
man, while at bis work, in his right hand hold a
tool, arid in his left hold a weapon ? and the men of
the city Weht their way, Shaking their beads.
23, Now the lefts of J —n which he did in the
city, when the Provcjlites came before the walls
thereof, and the a&s which he did on the Hills, and
in the Village, which lieth by the way as thou
goeft towards the South, are they not written in
the book of Chronicles.
