FREDERIcK-T Town, Nort29, 1886.
: Extract Of a1etter" from Joshua
Johnson, of the house, of johnson,
Muir e. Co., in London, to his friend
in this town:
II am sorry to find such complaints
against the loss of your crops Of small
G2ninnb put as this country and Europe
int none, you may still have
en- q for the consumption of your
own country.
"'Ihe conduct of the people in
Charles county and MONTGOMERY, as
well as the proceedings of your meet
ing in Frederick Town, hath reached
us, and is truly alarming. I hope
every sensible and reasonable man
will Immediately step forward and en-
.deavor to suppress such improper con-
duct; if they don't, they and their
countrymen will lose all rank in Eu-
rope; this outrage and the intention
of the emission of Paper Money, has
given general alarm here, and make
people more shy than ever before"
ARRIVAL OF JOSHUA JOHNSON.
Our distinguished countryman, Mr..
Joshua johnson, who has been resid-
ing in London for some time, and who
recently arrived in New York, came
to this town on the 9th instant, where
be was received by our whole popula-
ton with open arms. Mr.. johnson
is an extensive merchant in London,
of the house of johnson, Muir & Co.,
a house that does an immense bust
ness for all parts of the United States,
and particularly for the City of Dalti-
mare and the State of Maryland. He
has advanced large sums Of money on
consignments made by the planters
of Frederick, Montgomery, Prince
Georges, Charles, Anne Arundel and
Calvert counties. He has done a
great deal to protect American credit
in Europe. He brought over with
him Lord Carmarthen $ answer to the
rcquisition of His Excellency John
Adams, &C., ON the Goth of last Feb
ruary, respecting fhe British Posts
held in the territories which We're
ceded by the late Treaty Of Peace, to
the United States. This very inter
esting abstract is inserted in this pa
per at the particular request Of seve-
raj patriotic citizens, who anxiously
wish the respective States would (ere
it be too late) vest Congress with the
power adequate to the great national
business that claims their attention
and for the want of which this county
hath already been materially injured
in her interest and reputation.
We quote for this State:
"MARyLAND.-The act of October
l7ap, allowing British debts to bt
ii into the Treasury, and that NJ
1DlO4ision is since made for it; tht
sum paid c l44,5l4 9s. 4d. l-2; equa
to e3,6l5 lSs. 3D. currency in specie
Our citizens intend to give Mr.
johnson a Public Dinner at the ear
liest practicable day. No American
better deserves the esteem of hi.
countrymen, for he has been tower
of strength to American credit abroad
