the merchants of this port taxes which are

Health Officer had the audacty require it's discharge
in Quarantine hut with the aid Of very bad laws
passed by worse Legislature last Winter the present
incumbent intends to force the merchants 10 submit to his
WILL and the iniqutOus charges OF his friends. do not
say that the Health Officer Of this port is not honest
honorable and high-minded only claim that he
has a singular way of showing IL.
The assertion that the merchants desire 20 evade any Just
laws and bring disease here Is false The Quarantine at
Perth Amboy Is ample security 10 this port and 1t Is
Incrcfn Providence That enables merchants TO avail
themselves OF IL. This whole business OF importing
merchandise Quarantine included, should be under the
