retard its prosperity.
8. Numbers of unproductive hands,
supported by the labour of the coun-

and watching the intercourse with our
neighbours, on an open frontier OF six

Government in that odium.
4. The money levied by certain Acts
Of the British Parliament within the
Colony, and actually paid ous OF the
proceeds of the labour Of its inhabl-

treasury of the Province, to be appli-
