10 the Settlers in the county Of LincoI-z,
1ho haze nor acquired legal tttle TO
their lands.
FELLOW CITIZENS,
TITS said by some among you, that there
is a general combination to oppose, at every
hazard, all attempts Of the proprietors, to
ascertain and fix the limits of their claims,
that you are provided with arms and anmu-
milton, and thatno one employed BY The pro-
prietor, or BY order Of court, even at the re-
quest ofthC settlers themselves, can perform
that service that if any one, thus author
lied should attempt it, he would inevitably
be destroyed. But can this be the fact ?
Are yau all thus linked together, in cove
nant of rapine and murder There are some
of your number who represent this to Be the
cAse-that there is general union and I'M
Outstanding on the subject, and that YOU
are warranted to take life in defending yollr
possessions. BY what law, human or divine,
can you justify this bloody sentiment You
cannot justly it BY any thing written, and,
if YOU will reflect moment and hear the
voice of Conscience, the most Of YOU viii
abandon il with horror.
You have, as there is in all communities
a proportion of inconsiderate and unprin
cipled men, such undoubtedly represent the
sober and respectable in a disadvantageous
point of light the best of you, say they
are their councillors, and they themselve.
only executors ofyour viii. For the honor
ofthe County, for the honor OF Religion anc
Morality, viii presume this representation
Q be erroneous, and that the most sensibl,
md worthy Of you are misrepresented anC
oasely DETAINED. and tlrat those who Civ,
This false coloring, do it, to support the I'M
1uity of their own conduct.
But tho some and would hope the mos
af YOU, shudder FL the thought Of such al
rocity, and t-e ready to say with Hazaei
Are we Gags that we should do tins,
let fear, aast youg Conversation far yeD-

to notice the ISLANDERS Of anonymous
writer's, and wretches of little or no
consideration in society, and have borne
with them in silence--yet, when they
present themselves, sanctioned by the
signature Of man of respectable stand
ing, TO repel them is duty owe my
self and the community, which IS inter
eSted III the character Of its officers -
am therefore constrained to declare,
that the assertion contained in the Re-
publican Watch Io1ver Of the 25th uIt.
under the signature of Thomas Far
mer, of my haUiAg formed coalition

In justice to the gentleman Of the

What pertains to DEXTER is 50 peculiarly dis
