_ Mr. Ptruul, -
IN these times, when greate:- exertion;
of publick virtue are the more neces
sary to cunvince our enemies that the ma
chinations of the venal and corrupt are of
no force against the fice-born sons ofAme
rica, to distin uish the had and unmorthy
from the hone and ingenuom, is, I think,
a dut incumbent on every good member .
of (ire ety. Whetherdocsstor Pope deserves
to be ranlted in the one class, or the other,
] leave the world to judge, from a small
transuction it has been my lot to, be con
cerned in with him. The matter was
thus: ] brought some rum from the Eas
tern Shore to this city, for which ] had
a certificate, as directed by our act of
assembly, which I thought sufficient. I
called at York in my way. The people
there ashed me what I had on board? ]
told them, rum. At what price I shld it!
I told them. No more passed. No bod
there wanted rum, so I kept on my courlz
]
1
to the Capitol binding.—
A day or two after,-while] was landing
..n— A——-._ H—
my rumsi', doctor Pope came up, accom
panied by Abraham Archer, boarded my
vessel, threatened to seize her, for want of
a permit, and compelled me not only to
go down to York to get a permit (which
mi ht, ! thought be given here then) but
alsg to pay'his and mr. Archer's expenses
that day in this city. The subioined re
ceipt will confirm the latter part of my
charge; and as to the rest, there were
d'dZ—dsi—Nn pG ....
spectators enough to bear testimony of the
doctor's conduct. After this state off-acts,
] leave the puhlick to pronounce sentence
on this active government too], and only
wish that [lamp may bind tho/Z- whom honour
