PATRIOTISM OF OUR GRAND
MOTHERS.

We have heard great deal OF the patri-
otism of orr forefatherS, but the patriotism
of our foremothers-which was not whit
behind that Of their husbands, brothers,
and, "sweethearts''-is hardly ever men
toned. Striking instances of their devo-
ton to the cause of liberty are sometimes
to be found in history, still but little is said
OF their uniform zeal in the good cause.
And yet we are, perhaps as much indebted
10 the Mothers as to the Fathers ofour ma
ton for the blessings we now enjoy. Their
influence, though silent, was strong, and
though Joan-of- Arc-like, they may not
have buckled on the armor and stood fore
most in the fight, yet they did all they could
do in their sphere to resist oppression.
A friend of ours has recently lent Us q
file of old papers, in one of which supple
ment to the Boston Gazette, bearing date
April It'll, 1776, we find an account OF the
doings Of certain young ladies' Of Provid-
ence, which go to show the interest they
took in the welfare Of the country. The
record states that on the 4th of March, Of
that year" eighteen Daughters OF Liberty,
young ladies OF good reputation, assembled
at the house Of Doctor Ephraim Bowen, Of
this town, in consequence OF an invitation
of that gentleman, who hath discovered
laudible zeal for introducing home manufae-
lures. There they exhibited a fine example
of industry by spinning from sunrise until
dark, and displayed spirit for saving their
sinking country, rarely 10 be found among
persons of more age and experience. The
Doctor provided an elegant plain dinner,
and other refreshments for the fair compa-
ny: hut they expended but very little time
in dining, and cheertully agreed to omit tea,
TO render their conduct consistent. Besides
this instance of their patriotism, before they
separated, they unanimously resolved that
the Stamp Act was unconstitutional, that
they would purchase no more British man.
ufactures unless it be repealed, and that
they ,could not euen admit the addresses of
ana gentlemen, should they hare an oppor-
tunity, withom they determined 10 oppose
its executian TO the last extremity, If 0cea-
sion required"
There was patriotism enough for you!
1t breathes the very spirit Of devotion, and
none but the veriest poltroon would have
refused TO enter heart and soul into cause
backed by such supporters.-"We hear"
the account goes on 10 state, another
meeting of these Daughters of Liberty,
with many more, is intended TO be held al
the court house some time IN April next,
there 10 spin a handsome piece Of linen, as
premium is to be given TO the person who
shall raise the greatest quantity ofgood fax
in the county of Providence, in the year
lI776."

Mr. Joshua Roberts was afflicted with bilious
and nervous disease to an alarming degree, being
attended with all the distressing SYMPTOMS which
affect relaxed constitution, viz A sick head
ache, loss Of appetite, giddness in the head, pain
in the stomach after eating, unusual tremors, shift
ing spasmodc pains in every part of the body, cold
chls, sallow complexion, costiveness, and a
constant dull pain in the right side, which often
induced the most dreadful debility; indeed, he
thought he was afflicted with every internal COM
plant the human body is liable to. He was gene
rally making trial of various remedies all Of which
were equally fruitless, until he had recourse to
Hunts Botanic Pills, from the superior virtues OF
which medicine his health is perfectly re-estabish-
ed, and is now able TO pursue his employment free
from pain or disease.

fectuaIly Cured.

MIR. VIM. Tucker having lately been restored TO
sound state of health, through the efficacy of Dr.
Hunts's Botanic Pills, thinks it an indispensable
duty to state certain facts relative to the disease
under which he had so long suffered. The sym
toms were "a painful obstruction, with constant
rejection of food, headache, palptation of the
heart, Iownsss of spirits, troublesome dry cough,
dizziness, tightness at the chest and difficulty OF
breathing, almost constant pain in the side, olns,
and shoulders, accompanied with much languor
debility These Affections, together with an I'M
usual degree of hatulence, brought on such state
ofextreme weakness, as to prevent HIM from at
tending to his business, and his health appeared
lost beyond recovery. His friends and relatives
became alarmed at the melancholy prospect, and
strongly recommended Hunts Botanic Plls--they
were administered, and in few days produced
astonishing relief and finally realized perfect re-
storation to sound health.

which Nature could pour around it, honored by its

true Virginia spirit, so much talent so much elo-
quence, so much devotion to principles, so much
order, so much discretion, so much noble bearing,
such elevated sentiments. We bless the day which
has disspated every possible doubt, that Virginia is
still true TO her own great principles, mistaken

and eloquencc is not yet gone, which has east so
