the residence ofGen. ashington, with
whom he served IN Braddock's war.
He afterwards served through the
whole revolutionary struggle. His ap'

PERSECUTION OF THE FRIENDS
FURTHER PARTICULARs.-The Liberator
Of July 18th, contains a letter from VIM
Barrett of Lynn, OF which the following
is an extract.-Friend of Man.
Three Yearly meetings of Friends,
viz those Of Pennsylvania, New York,
and New England, have recently issued
addresses on The subject of slavery-that
of Pennsy lvania, at the same time, being
so cautious of becoming in any way iden-
titled Dith The dboLitioniStS, recommended
their members to withhold all connection
with them. Nathaniel Cranshaw, a
member ofthe Yearly Meeting of Virgin,
ia, was present, and it appears was SO well
pleased with the document and consider
ed it so we'll adapted for circulation IN
Virginia, that he volunteered to distribute
100 copies in that state. A letter has
Just been received from friend in Virgin
ia, stating that A. Cranshaw has been ar
rested in consequence of his agency IN
distributing the document, and is in prison
bail having been refused, and that ne
would probably be sentenced to several
years imprisonment in the Penitentiary.-
It further appears, that the Governor o
Virginia has demanded Of the Governor
Of Pennsylvania that the signers OF the al
dress. Jonathan Evans, William Evans
and Thomas Evans, should be given uul
in order 10 be tried for the offence by TIT
laws Of that State, l suppose as person.
