C I'Akb I: SIO N,
LAL MEMBER 6, 1784.
Ertraft of a letter from a Gentleman of North Carolina
to hisfriend in the Wefern Country, dated Hillfa
rough, sane 2, 1784.''
" l'"' bubble of the day is gone ! land job-
A U n g IS a t an end with us; we have made
a liberal ceikon of our WeficCT claims to the
United States, 1 hanks to New-York for letting
tne example (although it is laid she is about to
tarniih all her glory, by attempting to deftrby her
brethren, tuat fought io gallantly for America at
Bennington.) I suppose Virginia plumed herself on
ceding what New-York and other States had as
good a pretence to. Q you think, that Iheother
Members of the Union will be fatisfied to fee Vir
ginia, exercising jurifdi&ion on the banks of the
Milliffippi ; when we reserve only this fide of the-
Apalachian mountains. This is not following the
advice of the great Chief, her 'Mecenast It will
not do my friend, it does not accord with your
republican principles. The many thbufands of
acres, a few individuals of your State claim in the
western country, may make them writhe arid twine,
and now arid then shew their fling; but you may
rest assured, the opposition will be futile. The
foris of freedom yet value their privileges too high
to be cajoled out of them by an insidious policy."
On Ihurfday lad was married in Prince George's
Parish, Thomas Dunbar, Esq; of this City, Capt;
in the 2d. South-Carolina Regiment, to Miss Mary
Withers, second daughter ofthe deceased Francis
Withers, Esq; or Georgetown.—Sunday evening,
Mr. Benjamin Duke, Carpenter, to Mrs. Rachel
Higgins, widow of the deceased Mr. Thomas Hig
gins, of this City.
Thursday last died Mrs. Martha Hayes, daugh
ter of the deceased Mr. Edward Oats, of this City.
A further [reply from A. GILLON, Efq;to
CHRISTOPHER GADSDEN, Esq ; will appear
in our next Thursday's Gazette. ~ Commodore
Gillon will be pleased to excuse its not coming
out before, as sickness and the length of the piece
did alone preven, it.

To the P ÜBLI C.
A Difagreeable altercation having happened be
tween myfelf and Capt. Proveaux, which in
it§ piefent Rate, is rather calculated to promote
illiberalities than candid difeuffion, the minutia of
which can be of little consequence to the public
at large; I shall in a few words obviate the answer
to my printed address.
The imputation there mentioned is taken for
granted, although I have repeatedly made overtures
for a public 'enquiry, in order to elucidate any
circumstances refpe&ing such imputation.
If common fame is to be admitted as the test of
integrity, perhaps nine-tenths of every generation
flight be deemed culpable; but the civilization of
society has produced many ihoial maxims, one of
whichis— Ihat without proof no man is culpable—
therefore, Capt. Proveaux, or hi^ friends, fifing
such specious (though vulgar) arguments, is a
fhameful fubterfuge, unworthy men of probity.
Refpe&ing the last paragraph in the Did answer, I
zefet to witneffcs, viz. Capt. I hompfon. his family
and the waiter; Capt. Budd, and Mr. M'Farlane;
—receding my antagonist, I am ready to decide,
in the shortest way, whenever he pleases to meet
