down. But, the sober second thought Of the
reemen of Pennsylvania is always right. The
member offering such Bill must have an indirect
interest in this bond matter My opinion of it, is
that it offers only bounty to informers, These
are the mildest views can take Of such Bill, and
with them, Gentlemen, permit me to subscribe
myself Your very humble servant,
P. SHIELDS.

Boarding, Lodging, &C., to be adopted and used
by all participating in the Convention.
Whereupon the chair appointed Jas. d. Ham
iIton, William Murray, Richard Trotter, Isaac
Crawford and said committee; and
they having retired for sometime, reported IN ac-
cordance with the Resolution. Some dissatisfac-
ton arose here, and a motion to adopt the Report
of the committee, as read, was negatived.
1t was then, on motion Of Maj. John Thomp-
son
ResoIred That the Bill of Rates for each sepa-
rate locality shall be established by majority OF
the votes of the members representing it.
In accordance with the foregoing, the votes OF
the members were taken, and the Rates as estab-

Whereas, The Legislature OF InlS common
wealth, at its session of 1855, passed an act to
restrain the sale of Intoxicating Liquors, wherein,
amongst other things, it is provided, that no Ii
cense for the sale of vinous, spirituous. malt or
brewed liquors, or any admixture thereof. shall
be granted to the keeper of any hotel inn, or tav-
ern: And Whereas, in consequence thereof, the
licenses granted co us respectively under preeXlst
ing acts of Assembly; have expired, and cannot
now be renewed; by means of which we have
been shorn of the principal branch of Cur reve-
nue., and must, therefore, at our present rates,
suffer pee uniary losses in the continuation Of on
business -AIld Whereas, we deem 1t the duty OF
every good citizen to yield an implicit obedience

each other, and to the community, that all laws
relating to the sale of Intoxicating Liquor within
this Commonwealth, shall henceforth receive from
us an unqualified observance and that we will,
in common with all good citizens, upon all proper
occasions, exert ourselves to the utmost of our
ability in enforcing and carrying into effect the
provisions of the same.
ReSolced, That to compensate us for the advan-
tages hitherto resulting to from the sale OF In
toxicating Liquors, and of which we are now de-
prived we find it necessary TO increase our char
des for lodging and entertaining the public; and
