~ The Poor must not be neglected
during this Indictment weather. The Board OF Gov
ernors should demand extra eXertions on the part Of
their visitors and agents, and private citizens should
double the measure of their charities. We would
especially recommend that large class Of grum5!ers,
who sHeer at money gwen TO advance liberty and
