ithaving been ascertained, at the mint of
the United States, that pistareens are actual
worth only serenteem cents, they are now re-
ceived for that sum by the banks in Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, and other cities. If the rate
at which they are received here continues as
heretofore, they will probably all find their
way here, and the loss, by the depreciation,
be fixed on us.

ENSIGN JENNIsoN.

A@'oiuN a fNNlSONs
We deeply lament the depravity of the hui
man heart, which renders it necessary that
man should arm himself with Instruments of
death, to defend his natural and unalienable
rights from the encroachments of his fellow
men, But the historick page teaches us that
this has been the fact in all past ages, and
the breezes of every day bear to our ears the
clanking of those chains which the tyrants of
the earth are now forming for their fellow
creatures.
Although our country now enjoys the
sweets OF liberty and the blessings of peace,
yet she may soon be disturbed by those rest.
less and ambitious spirits who have formed
an holy alliance against peace, liberty, and
the rights of man-therefore in peace let us
prepare for war.
We consider our Militia as the Bulwark of
our rights and privileges. To you our sex
look for protection, and as testimonial Of
our confidence in your courage and patriot
ism, in behalf Of the ladies of Ropkinton.
present you this Standard. Let it never be
uhturied but IN your country's defence, and
let 1t never be furled till her enemies are con-
quered. Should you be called from the en-
dearments OF domestick life to the field of
battle, our sympathies will attend you thither,
and our prayers will ascend to the God of
armies, that courage, prudence, humanity,
and victory, may attend your steps. Never
let this Ensign of freedom deck the spoils of
your country's foes-let it wave in triumph
over your heads, or be buried in blood be-
meath your feet. May you all prove good
soldiers TO your country and to the Prince of
Peace, that you may be honoured by your fell
low-citizens on earth, and be clothed in shin
ing regimentals, and decked with crowns of
victory by your King in heaven.
