In two Volumes, Octavo.
Price two and an half Dollars.
Sold by Robert Gray & the Author,
A gentleman well known in Philadelphia, and who is greatly respected as a clergyman and justly esteemed as a man of letters, has given the following opinion of his selection:
"The two volumes of select Poetry, form a valuable contribution to the stock of English literature. I really consider the work as the best compilation now extant. The selections and arrangements evince the taste of a correct and polished mind, its judgment of a sound and benevolent moralist, and that degree of critical skill which can only be acquired by extensive reading and scholastic acquirements."

Francis Muir, Administrator. Dinwiddie county, (near Petersburg)
March 19, 1805.
To the FREEHOLDER of Loudon, Fairfax, and Prince William counties.
FELLOW-CITIZENS,
AN address, claiming, with what truth you are best able to judge, the sanction of a joint committee of the counties of Loudon, Fairfax, and Prince William, has been widely dispersed through our congressional district for the avowed purpose of withdrawing our confidence, at the ensuing election, from our worthy representative Mr. Lewis.
The party whose views this publication is designed to promote, have not dared as on a former occasion, to assail the private reputation of Mr. Lewis, lest their calumny should again recoil on its authors. All Mr. Lewis's demerits are comprehended in the single charge that he is a federalist. The out cry against FEDERALISM is again dinning in our ears; and the attempt repeated to seduce you from the path of WASHINGTON, and your consistent opposition to the ENEMIES of his ADMINISTRATION, and the TRADUCERS of his FAME.
We trust fellow-citizens, it is not necessary to recal to your memory the valor, the revolutionary services, the wisdom and firmness of our former rulers. You have not forgot that to a FEDERALIST, for such was our WASHINGTON to the day of his death, we were indebted under the providence of God, for the establishment of our national independence. That to the influence of federal sentiments, we are indebted for the adoption of our present constitution in spite of a most formidable opposition from the anti-federalists of that, those SELF-styled republicans of the present day. You cannot have forgotten, for it is a more recent event, that to the prudence, moderation and firmness, of a federal administration we owed the preservation of our neutrality, at a time when almost the whole civilised world was convulsed with war & our present rulers then in the ranks of opposition, exerted all their strength to move us to hostilities with G. Britain, in which from being the favored allies, we should have become like the unfortunate Dutch, Swiss and Italians, the miserable slaves of France War! war with England! was the cry of these very partizans, who now exclusively arrogate to themselves, the imposing title of " lovers of peace!! " What a clamor did they raise against the which terminated our disputes with Great Britain. Although that treaty secured to us ample indemnity for the spoilations which the British cruisers had committed on our trade. But when France emboldened by their blind, their boasted devotion to her interest & disappointed in her hope of entangling our government in her toils. When France or rather her tyrants, insulted our independence, violated our neutrality, plundered our commerce, imprisoned our seamen, and turned a deaf ear to all our remonstrances. When in fine she spurned the very ministers whom we sent to treat with her for a cessation of these outrages, and we were suffering as far as it was in her power to inflict, all the calamities of war, the cry was " we are at peace. " The measures of defence, to which our government was at length driven were dictated, we were told by a " passion for war "—the taxes, which were levied for the protection of the property, liberty and lives of our countrymen, by a " love of oppression. "
The provisional regiments embodied to meet a threatened invasion, they called, 'a standing army of mercenaries.' The appropriations for building and equipping the navy which protected our foreign trade the chief source of our public revenue, and the chief spring of our private industry, were represented as " a waste of treasure. "
An energetic administration of the powers of government, the more necessary, because they were assailed, at once by foreign and domestic enemies, was attributed to a disposition to tyrannize over the people." The preservation of the Constitutional equilibrium among the different branches of the government, to a " predilection for executive power. " An alien law, which authorised the President to expel from our bosom, the lurking emissaries and spies of our enemies, was described, as an utter prohibition of foreign emigration. A sedition law, which punished false, malicious and scandalous writers who polluted the national mind by their publications, an attempt " to gag the mouths of the people. " An admirable system for the administration of justice, a system long contemplated, and at length, after much labour matured, was declared to be only a provision for useless officers, created in the last moments of an expiring faction."
While, on the other hand, fellow citizens, an unceasing effort to involve us in war with England, was nothing more than
"an honest zeal against monarchy." A passive submission to the ambitious views, and inordinate rapacity of the blood thirsty demagogues of France, was boasted as " a noble enthusiasm in the cause of liberty. " An opposition to the creation of our present navy, and to the employment of it for the protection of our property, was, then indeed avowed to be the " genuine offspring of an attachment to our agricultural interests; " and an obstinate denial to the federal government, of the means of defence, was " a prudent economy of the public money. "
When our revenue was about to be augmented, by imposts, it was asserted that direct taxes, alone, are consistent with the cautious maxims of republican government; in as much, as " by drawing the purse strings of the people; " they fix their jealous attention on their rulers. When in the public exigency, a recurrence to direct taxes, became unavoidable, then, indeed; their tendency was " to break the spirit of the people, " by exposing their " houses to the vexatious intrusion of tax-gatherers. "
You well remember, fellow-citizens, that on the execution, abroad, of a British malefactor, guilty of piracy and murder, the republican party, as it is called, endeavored to arouse the indignation of all America against the president, for having, as he was bound by a solemn treaty, surrendered this malefactor to justice; but in the whole course of the depredations committed on our trade by Algiers, and afterwards, by France, did you ever hear this party raise its voice in behalf of the enterprising, the brave, but unfortunate American sailor, who dragged the ignominious yoke of slavery on the burning coast of Africa, or pined in the loathsome dungeons of France.
So true is it, fellow-citizens, that whatever measure the administrations of Washington and Adams recommended or adopted, for our security or honor, it was sure to meet with opposition from those exclusive patriots.
Not satisfied, however, with misrepresenting their measures, venal authors and presses were hired and maintained, to asperse and vilify their CHARACTERS. The atrocious charge of peculation was uttered against the last administration, by a wretch, who, as occasional printer to the present government, is now in the annual receipt of thousands of your dollars. This charge was echoed thro' all the ranks of democracy, although, after it had served the purpose for which it was fabricated, the very men whom it had contributed to raise to power and splendor, were obliged to pronounce it false. Nor can we omit to call to your recollection the encouragement afforded by some of the very men who now preside over us to the infamous author of a pamphlet, called " THE PROSPECT BEFORE US, " a most detestable libel on the fair fame of Washington.
Thus, fellow-citizens, the Anti-Federalists, Jacobins, Democrats, Republicans, call them by what name they please, the ENEMIES of WASHINGTON, acquired power. And, setting aside the means by which they rose into distinction, no men ever entered upon the administration of a government, under more auspicious circumstances. The administrations of Washington and Adams labored under the disadvantages of setting a new government in motion. A Federal Republican government over so vast a territory as the U. States, holding in union so many local and jarring interests on so broad a principle of representation, was a political experiment, without example, either in ancient or modern history. This experiment, fellow-citizens, so interesting to the world, as well as to ourselves, had been crowned with success; and a success the more satisfactory, as the government encountered, in its progress, the most formidable obstacles from powerful enemies abroad; from faction & insurrection at home. As our present chief magistrate, very candidly or imprudently, admitted, when he came to the helm of state, our national barque was on the " full tide of successful experiment. " Europe, exhausted by a war of unprecedented calamity and extent, enjoyed the serenity of peace. The effects of the storm, which had so long raged, as they regarded our internal condition, had disappeared. In the close of Mr. Adams's administration, our differences with France had been amicably adjusted; the direct tax permitted to expire; the provisional army had been some time disbanded; and the navy reduced. In the protection of our Indian frontiers, and the defence of our commerce, the public debt may, indeed, have been in some degree augmented. But, the addition of two millions of inhabitants to our population, and the extension of our commerce from little more than twenty mil-
lions—the amount of our exports in 1790, to seventy millions—the amount of our exports, ten years afterwards, promised amply to repay whatever that protection and defence had cost. Our image, indeed, had risen from four hundred and fifty thousand, to near a million of tons of registered shipping, and the annual revenue from our imports, alone, from four, to upwards of ten millions of dollars.
Such was our situation, when our present rulers acquired their power. Have they exercised it? They boast, indeed, of having reduced our taxes and our public debt. Be not deceived, fellow-citizens, by specious misrepresentations. With one hand they have taken off our burthens, but with the other they have laid them on again. In other words, they repealed the laws which created our internal taxes, in congress, but in the very next, they add the same, or a greater amount to our external taxes. The excise on domestic distilled spirits, and the tax on riding carriages, paid, in part, by our countrymen beyond the mountains, are repealed; but, in their room, is substituted a duty of two and a half per cent. on foreign merchandise, of which we consume a great deal, and our western brethren little or none. Is this a reduction of taxes? or is it just, fellow-citizens, that the public burthens should be so unequally distributed? We need not inform you that our faithful representative, Mr. Lewis, voted against the imposition of this new duty. He was not in congress when the laws which created our system of internal taxes were repealed. But "the Federalists," we are told, "voted against that repeal," and "Mr. Lewis is a federalist." It is not true, fellow-citizens, that the federalists did vote against all the repealing laws on this subject. They concurred in some of them; but voted against the destruction of the noble system of internal taxation, because they deemed it premature; since it was proposed before it was ascertained what effect the general peace in Europe would have on our foreign commerce, the only remaining source of our revenue, and before it was known what sums the probable exigencies of the government might require.
The Federalists also advised, but this the joint Committee have thought proper to conceal from you, that if any reduction were made of the remaining taxes, it should take place among those duties on imports which enhance the price of the common comforts and necessaries of life: in other words, that the taxes on domestic distilled liquors, which operate, in some measure, as a moral law, and the taxes upon refined sugars and riding carriages; taxes paid principally by the rich, should be preserved; and those alone reduced, which, augmenting the price of salt, bohea tea, and brown sugar, fall most heavily on the poor. Who, then, fellow-citizens, are the real friends of the people? Or do our present rulers imagine that we are blind, and because we do not see the hand which imposes our present burthens, we shall therefore find them lighter. We are not indeed to see the odious tax-gatherer: the merchant will pay him, and we, the merchant, who will also charge us a commission on this additional duty. Our present rulers will not offend our delicacy with the sight of the tax gatherers, because their own deeds are dark, and they wish not the light of enquiry to shine upon them. They draw the blood from our veins, fellow-citizens, and sooth us with the consolation, that it is done while we are asleep.
They boast of having reduced our national debt. Here, also, the joint committee have neglected to inform you that it has been recently augmented by the addition of no less a sum than fifteen millions of dollars. But if the national debt has been at any period reduced, from whom have been derived the means of that reduction? What other application could have been given to the sums accruing from the sales of a considerable part of our navy, of our bank stock sold, indeed, much below its value, but to the amount of little less than thirteen hundred thousand dollars: or what other use could they have made of the unappropriated money and bonds, which they found in the coffers of our treasury, when its keys were put into their hands. The enemies of the federal administrations, indeed, came into power just time enough to reap the harvest of their labors. We trust, fellow citizens, you know how to estimate the merits of men, who, fattening on the abundance produced by the sweat of others, affect, notwithstanding, to despise them.
The merit of reducing our national debt, if it amounts to more than common honesty, is due to our late federal administration, who rendered our present system of external taxes productive, by protecting that commerce on which it is founded. The merit is least of all due to those weak-

so, our timid politicians, who proposed like the grovelling tortoise, we should bury ourselves within our shell, and leave commerce a defenceless prey to the depredations of its plunderers. And if, after this parade of economy, our national debt has been augmented, under the present administration, fifteen millions of dollars, for the purchase of a boundless wilderness, the benefits to be derived from which are admitted, on all sides, to be questionable; and it was augmented, according to the most prejudiced calculation, little more than half that sum under the twelve years administrations of Washington and Adams, and this, too, for the preservation of that independence, inasmuch as the debt itself was originally contracted, we confidently trust, fellow-citizens, that you will discriminate to whom the charge of a "predilection for public debt," is justly imputable.
To sum up all the merits of our present rulers, in a word, they boast of a prosperity in our country which they could not prevent, and because they have not yet utterly destroyed it, they wish you to consider it the result of their wisdom and their virtue. Would to God, fellow-citizens, their foes, and their crimes had not out-numbered their much boasted merits! We should have heard our merchants complain of injustice by which their property is been barred to France for national objects, and their petitions for indemnity treated with contempt—nor the meritorious public servant—the war-worn soldier and experienced veteran murmur at a political tolerance, as hostile to the genius of our constitution as to the mild spirit of humanity, by which they have been driven from office, and obliged to seek new habitation and new employments, at a time of life, when enterprise is deadened, and age retires relaxation. Nor would our unfortunate countrymen, have so long groaned under the yoke of captivity among infids and barbarians, had not a miserable policy permitted two thirds of our frigates to rot in port, until the actual loss of one, and imminent hazard of another evinced, that a single frigate could not effect the destruction of Tripoli.
In the conclusion of the address, the principal misrepresentations of which, we have thus endeavored to expose, we have the following concise, but extraordinary character of the gentleman who opposed to Mr. Lewis at the ensuing election. "We need not tell you," says a self-created committee, "that col. Eney is a republican in heart and sentiment, nor that he is a zealous admirer and supporter of our constitution and the government at present, administered under:" but add they, "we will tell you that it is the very reverse of Mr. Lewis." Now citizens, we desire to know when col. Ellzey, who if we are correctly informed opposed the ratification of our present constitution became one of its zealous admirers, and how long, was you to elect him to congress, he would continue one of its zealous supporters. NAMES have become in every country at some period or other, the means of producing popular delusion, and that high sounding word republicanism , claimed as the peculiar distinction of a faction is the very one which has so recently led a unhappy people through a sea of blood; to the gloomy and sullen shore of despotism . The French nation, after having been duped by self-styled republicans, from the days of Marat and Robespierre, to those of Barras and Bonaparte have at length submitted to the yoke of a REPUBLICAN EMPEROR. But to borrow an illustration of the danger of trusting to names, from our own country, has it not been asserted fellow citizens, over and over again that, "Mr. Jefferson is a zealous republican!" Admit it. But is he also either a zealous admirer, or a firm supporter of our present constitution? Was not his authority
* See the account of the capture of the Philadelphia by the Tripolitans, and read the following extract from a letter of the late American consul at Algiers, Mr. O'Brien, which letter accompanied the President's message to Congress of the 31st of last December. Mr. O'Brien writes from Malta on the 5th of September, as follows: "We have been expecting to be joined by commodore Barron and frigates; but he will be too late to end the affairs this year, as the summer is all but over for gun boats, and Tripoli, in winter, can only be blockaded by corsairs, at times, off and on." "This extract" adds the writer "will show that our present force is only adequate to irritate Tripoli, but will not reduce it to terms. See also, if more, indeed, is required, commodore Preble's interesting account of the gallant attacks on Tripoli; in which the niggardly policy of our present administration is dappily contrasted with the valor of our forefathers."
quot in the convention of Virginia, in order to prevent its adoption? Has he ever said that he wrote the famous letter to Marat, wherein he says, meaning Washington and his compatriots, "that our Solons in council, and our Sampsons in the field, have been shorn by the harlot of England, and not satisfied with giving us the spoils are about to impose on us the subjection of the British constitution ?" Did not recommend, and afterwards confirm his vote, the repeal of our late judiciary law, by which repeal certain judges, upon the constitution had declared should hold their offices during good behavior, be driven from their seats? Has a session of congress passed, since he has been the head of the government, without an attempt by his republican friends to alter, either by construction or amendment, that very constitution? If we regard the temper of the times, fellow-citizens, there is an awful foreboding in them! The demon of revolution is brooding over our country. From St. Croix to St. Mary's, from the shores of the Atlantic to the pestilential fens of Louisiana, the cry of change! change! is resounded.
A restless spirit of innovation has seized upon the temples of justice, and their sacred altars and venerable domes are tottering to their foundations. Where constitutional barriers surround and protect the office of the judge, impeachment surmounts them, and aims the deadly shaft of calumny at this reputation. Where neither the office nor the character of the judge can be assailed, under any plausible pretext, a mine is sprung to sap the whole federal judiciary, by annihilating, at once, their whole jurisdiction.† Headstrong passion hurries on our legislative; while timidity presides over our executive councils.
We conjure you, then, fellow-citizens, situated as you are, near the seat of the government, to keep up a jealous inspection over its conduct. When the watchmen in the temple are so few, let us not, in the name of God, reduce their number!
Instead of a sullen and stupid, let us maintain a spirited and enlightened opposition to men who have no fixed principle of action, except that interest which prompts them to deceive and mislead you. Let us, therefore, concur in rendering to our late faithful, zealous, and industrious representative, our cheerful and hearty support.

§ How long the seat of government will continue near us, God only knows. The federalists, in which number, was our zealous Representative, Mr. Lewis, prevented an attempt in the last session of Congress, to recede the greater part of the federal territory; an attempt which was considered as a stepping stone to a removal of the seat of government. We know also that a Republican Senator, in the session of Congress preceding the last actually proposed to remove the government from the Potomac.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
SATURDAY, MARCH 30.
Mr. Editor, IT is hoped by many of your readers, that you will not by any manner of means forget to pay attention to our president's inaugural speech, on his coming, for a second time, into office, contrary, no doubt, to his own wish, because certainly contrary to his own opinion, autre fois opined, and to cogitate upon every part of that unique performance, with all the cogitable cogitabundity of your cogitative cogitation. They are thus anxious, because they think that for truth, wisdom, sincerity, candor, and above all, modesty , it may be put in competition with any thing of the kind which stands distinguished upon the records of British ministerial virtue , during the happy and patriotic administrations of a Bute, a North, or a Grafton. Yea, or with the gentle intimations of that mild and merciful monarch, on whom our president has heretofore bestowed the gratuitous epithet of "THE ENLIGHTENED GOVERNMENT OF FRANCE." As some of your readers however may be too dim sighted to perceive all those qualities, in the document alluded to, you had better help them to the best spectacles you have in your shop; by which,
though they should not be very great magisnifera, they will be able to see enough to make good what I advance. "Now, Ladies and Gentilhommes, (said the slight of hand man) now, be Gar, you shall see vat you shall see." Amidst the general improvement which has taken place under the auspices of our wise, virtuous, and magnanimous chief magistrate, it must be pleasing to your readers to contemplate that which seems to have taken place in that great man himself.
Considering what a large share consistancy of principle, and firmness of resolve, have ever had in the composition of that great and good man, the citizens of the union had just reason to tremble with apprehension, that he would not suffer them again to "buckle fortune on his back," but that true to his own opinions (erst laid down) he would not have suffered the chief power to devolve twice to the same hands. To their great satisfaction, however, no doubt greatly to their advantage, and probably to the comfort of his own yearning bowels, he has condescended to be "enforced to a world of cares"—and for another poor four years, to sway the democratic sceptre of America, and give to it, once more, its enlightened government.
"I am not made of stone; But penetrable to your kind entreaties, Albeit against my conscience and my soul."
Now it is clear that in doing this, he has given a great proof of his improvement. For whether he has changed his opinion, or, out of courtesy, laid it at the feet of his people's wishes, it certainly is a material improvement to him and his affairs.
Having assured Congress of his zeal, which no one is weak enough to doubt, he reminds them of the principles which he avowed in his former inaugural speech, and tells them that his conscience tells him, he had, on every occasion, acted up to that declaration. This is a part of his speech which deserves particular attention, and perfect credit. Attention, because if he had not told them so, they could, by no means, have suspected it. And credit, because it comes from such high and undoubted authority, as the entre nous whisper of his conscience, to himself.
Indeed, it requires all that authority (greater surely cannot be) to encounter the seemings which go a little against the assertion. But what are seemings? Certain philosophers tell us that nothing exists, and that when a man cuts a piece of meat, puts it in his mouth, chews and swallows it, he does not in fact do so, but only thinks that he does it: It is not a meat, but an idea of meat; it is not a mouth, but an idea of a mouth. It may be that what has been so long taken for the President's first inaugural speech, and swallowed as such by us all, was only an idea of a speech; that the words "we are all Federalists, all Republicans," were not in reality words, but only ideas of words; and that the thing alluded to in that speech under the name of a constitution, was only an idea of a constitution. Certainly taking it for granted that all these were not merely ideas, I should have thought his practices for four years as President very much at variance with his professions in that speech, if we had not the word of his conscience guaranteed by the word of himself for the reverse. You often, Mr. Editor, preach Christianity, and ought therefore, in propriety, to adhere closely to its doctrines. Faith is entirely independent of reason; and why should you not transfer to our President's speech the doctrine of St. Augustine about faith—"Credere quia non est credibile," and believe it only because it is contrary to fact.
In this frail world we often mistake our desires for facts, and think that a thing is this or that, because we wish it to be so. Hasty conclusions are at all times wrong—those grounded upon the promises and professions of frail men peculiarly so, since they are liable to be mistaken in a two fold way: For first, we may misconstrue the words of promise; and secondly, the promiser may misconstrue his own intentions. When Mr. Jefferson's first speech came forth, the people (a few keen ones excepted) believed that he intended to govern with an equal hand—dismissing all distinction between federalist and anti-federalist. Now, if we are to believe what we see—that is to say if facts be facts, and not mere ideas, it is impossible for us not to think that there has been some inequality in the scale with which favor (I will not say justice—Oh he) has been measured out to those two parties.
If we had not the sacred word of that sacred gentleman, the President's sacred conscience, in that sacred document, his last speech, to the contrary, I should have thought that there had been in his conduct some little violations of the principal pro-
fessed in the former one: That there had been some little puttings out of one party, and some little puttings in of the other; that there had been some dismissals of faithful old public servants from office—from bread; that there had been some of those trivial incidents, which at one time would have been denounced as persecutions; that there had been impeachments for party purposes, upon such unjust grounds that even the courtesy of party men themselves could not go along with them. But perhaps these were all ideas; not facts. Indeed it were heresy to think otherwise, when we have the assurance of the President that his conscience tells him so.

Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachal Bitters.
PREPARED BY  THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittant Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superseded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Bilious Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Bilious and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Bilious Cholics, Colicwheels, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun.

In great colds and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headaches, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle.—Price 25 cents a box.

It likewise takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scorbutic gums and bad teeth.

NOTICE. WHEREAS, by an act of the General Assembly, passed the 23th day of January last, entitled, 'An Act for carrying into execution the constitution of the Mutual Assurance Society against fire on buildings in the state of Virginia,' lately adopted at a General Meeting. It is among other things enacted, 'That the funds now in hand, as well as debts due to the said society, shall be divided between the towns and country in proportion to the capital subscribed by the towns and country respectively,' and that 'property insured in towns, and property insured in the country, shall be responsible for their respective losses only, and not for the losses of each other.' And whereas, from the extraordinary losses which the society had sustained prior to the 24th day of February last, the funds of the society, had been very much reduced, and yet are reduced so that the portion of the said funds to be allotted to the towns in conformity to the act of Assembly aforesaid, will in all probability be insufficient to meet the losses (exclusively chargeable on the funds of the towns) which may reasonably be expected to incur in the course of the present year, and the credit and very existence of the institution requiring that provision should be made for the immediate payment of such contingent losses, The Board of Directors of the Society aforesaid, have thought proper to call for the payment of half a quota on each building which had been insured in any town in this commonwealth, or in the town of Alexandria, before the said 24th day of February last, to be paid on or before the first day of April next. I do therefore and in conformity to a resolution adopted by the said Board of Directors, hereby make known to all whom it may concern, that the said requisition of half a quota be paid on or before the first day of April next, on each building insured in any town in this commonwealth, and in the town of Alexandria, which has been made for the purpose aforesaid, and in pursuance of the authority vested in the President and Directors by the act aforesaid, and by the rules and regulations of the said society. And I do further hereby in pursuance also of the resolution aforesaid, notify all persons concerned, that every insurance on which the said half quota shall be payable under the said requisition, will be forfeited unless payment thereon, that is of a sum equal to half the premium mentioned in the policy be made at the farthest by the first day of June next, and such insurance will remain forfeited until the payment of the half quota be withheld, and interest thereon shall be afterwards, either voluntarily made or coerced if the mode prescribed by law.
