The ADDRESS of the COUNCIL to his Excellency, WIL- LIAM FRANKLIN, Esq; Captain General, and Commander in Chief of the Province of New Jersey, &c.

WE His Majesty's most dutiful and loyal Subjects. the Council of the Province of New Jersey, beg leave to re-

[1766


turn your Excellency our Thanks for your Speech at the Opening of this Session.


We most sincerely rejoice with your Excellency on the Repeal of the Act for granting certain Stamp Duties in America; an Event, as it so greatly conduces to the Peace and Happiness of His Majesty's American Dominions, cannot but excite in us the utmost Gratitude and Thank- fulness for this fresh Instance of His Majesty's Royal Favour, and of the Wisdom and Justice of the British Parliament.


An Indemnification to those Persons who have in- curred the Penalties of the late Stamp-Act must be con- sidered as a further Mark of Lenity and Indulgence of our Sovereign. And every new Measure that may be re- solved on to increase the commercial Interest of Great Britain and her Colonies, will further evince the Ad- vantages which must ever redound to a People from the Advice of a Ministry, who have Judgment to discern, and Inclination to promote, the true Interest, Happiness and Prosperity of the Nation.


It affords us great Satisfaction, that the wise Measures pursued by your Excellency, during the late alarming Period, were attended with the good Effects of preserv- ing the public Peace of the Colony: And it reflects Credit on the Inhabitants, that their prudent and orderly Behaviour has been obvious to your Excellency; and their Thanks are due to you for such favourable Representa- tions as you have been pleased to make of them to His Majesty's Ministers.


Your Excellency's Approbation of our Conduct, is a farther Satisfaction to us. Respect to the Authority of Government, the Preservation of Peace and good Order in this Colony, will ever be Objects of our strict Atten- tion; and it is with Pleasure we have observed, in the


157


NEWSPAPER EXTRACTS.


1766]


Conduct of the Chief Justice, and many Magistrates and others of this Province, that they have been actuated by the same Sentiments.


The Tenderness, Lenity and Condescensions of His Majesty, and the Wisdom and Justice of the British Par- liament, in removing the Danger that lately threatened the Colonies, cannot but excite in all His American Sub- jects the strongest Sentiments of Loyalty, and will neces- sarily contribute to advance the general Interest and Happiness of the British Empire, which we shall ever strenuously endeavour to promote.


By Order of the House, . PETER KEMBLE, Speaker.


Council-Chamber, June 20th, 1766.


To His Excellency WILLIAM FRANKLIN, Esq; Cap- tain-General and Commander-in Chief in and over the Province of New-Jersey, and Territories thereon depending in America, Chancellor and Vice Admiral in the same, &c.


May it please your Excellency,


WE his Majesty's dutiful and loyal Subjects, the Rep- resentatives of the Colony of New-Jersey, in General As- sembly convened, highly sensible of the Benefits that must attend a Repeal of the Act granting certain Stamp Duties in America, are glad of the Opportunity to return your Excellency our sincere Congratulations on the happy Termination of this most important Affair.


With the gratefulest Sense of His Majesty's indul- gent Disposition towards us, and the Justice of the British Parliament, we have taken the earliest Oppor- tunity of presenting our most sincere and hearty Thanks to His Majesty, for the Kindness shown these Colonies.


At the same time we reflect, with Pleasure, that the


158


NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS. [1766


Conduct of the People of this Province, has not disturbed your Excellency's Administration, nor been productive of any Act of Outrage or Violence; and as they have de- served, so we thank your Excellency for the Justice you have done them, in making their Conduct known to His Majesty's Ministers.


The Gentlemen who have distinguished themselves by Steadiness and Spirit, in promoting Peace and good Or- der in this Colony, undoubtedly deserve your Excellency's Commendations, and the Acknowledgments of this House.


As the Storm that threatened the future Welfare of Britain and her Colonies, is now happily subsided, and as it is our earnest Wish, so we hope, and will contribute every Thing in our Stations, that an indissoluble Union shall henceforth cement His Majesty's Subjects in the Mother Country and the Colonies.

Burlington, in New-Jersey, July 3, 1766.


A HORRID Murder was last Week committed near Moore's Town, in the County of Burlington, on the Bodies of two well known Indian Women of that Neigh- borhood, supposed from strong Circumstances, to have been perpetrated by two Men travelling to New York. One of the Persons is apprehended, and confesses he was present at the Murder, and gives the following Descrip- tion of his Companion; That he is a Scotchman, about 18 or 20 Years of Age, wears his own Hair, light col- oured, has no Beard, but a white Down on his Chin; one Leg sore, and thereby is lame, a Pair of whitish Stock- ings, one of which was stained with the Blood of the In-

dians, a whitish short Coat or Jacket, old Leather Breeches, old Shoes, too large for him, of Calf-skin, with the Grain out, and remarkable high Quarters. He says that his Name is James M'Kinsey, and that he was a Servant to a Scotch Officer, killed at Pittsburgh, and that he was travelling to New-York to his Master's Widow. And as some of the Inhabitants have seen the Person now confined in Company with such a Man, and they travelled very slow, it is to be hoped that the Person above de- scribed may be apprehended, and for the doing of which the Government will make suitable Satisfaction. The Inhabitants of this and the neighbouring Provinces are re- quested to use their utmost Endeavours to apprehend a Person suspected of having committed a Murder, at- tended with many Marks of Cruelty and Barbarity.


Since our last we have had very great Falls of Rain, by which we hear, great Quantities of Hay are destroyed; and that all the Bridges and Mill Dams, on the Amboy Road, and all the Mill Dams on Reckless's Stream, and many others in different Parts, are carried away; but we have not heard of much Damage done to the Grain.


RUN away on the 30th of last month, from Joseph Johnston, senior, living at Great Egg Harbour, a Negro Man, named Cato, about 5 feet 2 or 3 inches high, and about 22 or 23 years of age; had on, when he went away, an old felt hat, blue broad-cloth coat, a light coloured laced jacket, check flannel trowsers, shoes and stockings, the feet pretty much worn, and also had two coarse shirts. Whoever takes up and secures said Negro, so that his master may have him again, shall have THREE POUNDS Reward, paid by JOSEPH JOHNSTON. -The Pennsylvania Gazette, No. 1959, July 10, 1766.

New York, July 10. We hear from New Jersey, that Abundance of Damage has been done there by the great Rains which fell on Thursday Night, Friday and Satur- day last.

But in other Parts, about Spotswood, Second River, &c. the Floods there have been very great, and swept away all before them, not a Bridge or Mill for many Miles was left standing.

Extract of a Letter from Cumberland County, in New- Jersey, dated July 4, 1766.


"We have had the greatest Rains, and the most con- stant, for ten or twelve Days past, that has ever been known in my Memory, and which still continues. I am informed that fourteen Mill-Dams in this and Salen County, are carried away by the Freshes. The Wetness of the Season gives us a melancholy Prospect with respect to the Harvest, already begun, which before was very promising."

RUN away, on the Ioth Instant at Night, from the Subscriber, living in Northampton Township, Burlington County, a Negro Man, named Jemmy, about 35 Years of Age, and about six feet high, a well-limbed Fellow, stam- mers much in his Speech, which is bad English: Had on when he went away, an old brown Coat, the Lining chiefly torn out, an Ozenbrigs Shirt and Trowsers, and an old Castor Hat, patches on the Crown, and cocked up, the rest of his Clothing unknown.
