bers of People who travel to and from New-York, &c. to go the other Stages by Reason of their being attended with greater Expences, and the Travelling more tedious) has again set up a complete Stage from Burlington to Amboy ; where the best Attend- ance will be given by the Waggoner, and the best Entertainment for Travellers Kept by the Subscrib- er, at the old Stage-House ; who will be obliged to all Gentlemen and Ladies travelling to and from New-York, Philadelphia, &c. to favour him with their Custom, as they may depend upon being used in the best Manner, and conveyed to their Journey's End, with the greatest Safety and Dispatch.
The Boat sets off from the Crooked-Billet Wharf in Philadelphia, on Saturday the 28th Instant, and the Passengers embark in the Waggon the Monday following, and they are conveyed to Amboy that same Day, where there is a Boat ready to receive them to carry them to New-York. The Waggon re- turns again on Tuesday to Burlington, where the Boat receives them and carries them to Philadel- phia : The Boat again sets off from Philadelphia on Wednesday, and the Waggon on Thursday, and so to continue. The best Attendance will be given by the Burlington Stage Boatmen, whose Boats have excellent Accommodations, and the People extreme- ly careful.
The Reason this Stage is more commodious and shorter than any other is this, let the Wind be in what Corner it will, the Distance by Water is so short, you are always sure of getting to Burlington

At a Meeting of the Freeholders, Merchants and Traders of the City of New-Brunswick, on Thursday the 14th June, 1770.
The following Letter signed by 18 Merchants in the City of New York, was laid before the Meeting.
GENTLEMEN
THE express Bearer hereof is dispatched to Phila- delphia with a Request from this Place, to col- lect as soon as possible the Sentiments of their People, whether to abide by their present Agree- ment, or whether to import every Thing except the Articles which are Subject to Duty, for the Purpose of raising a Revenue in America, and that they would afterwards appoint Deputies of six Persons, to meet the same Number from this City, Boston, Connecticut, and such other Places as may choose to send any, the 18th Instant, at Norwalk in Connecti- cut. The Deputies to be empowered by their dif- ferent Constituents to communicate without Reserve their respective Sentiments on so Important a Sub- ject, and to adopt one general solid System for the Benefit of the Whole, that no one Colony may be liable to the Censure or Reproaches of another, but all share equally the same Fate. If you approve of the proposed Plan, your Deputies will appear at the Time and Place we have taken the Liberty to ap-

point for Meeting the other Deputies from the Places above mentioned. And we shall be obliged to you for your Sentiments as soon as possible on the Measures now proposed, &c.
To the Merchants and Traders
} in New-Jersey.
The following Answer which was drawn up, was likewise Read, unanimously agreed to, and signed by 6 of the Members present ; viz. GENTLEMEN,
TOUR Letters by the Express of the 2d Instant not being answered sooner, we hope will be ex- cused, as the Contents through Mistake, did not reach the Knowledge of the most of us until the 12th in the Afternoon. Y
We cannot but honour and revere the noble Spirit that yet glows and animates the Breasts of the Mer- chants in general of the British Colonies, to oppose the Enemies of the Liberties of America, in adher- ing to the laudable Non-Importation Agreement, and by keeping a watchful Eye upon every Encroach- ment or Attempt to dissolve it. Since therefore from every Account and Circumstance it appears to be the real Intention of the Majority of Men in Power, by every Artifice to break this Union in or- der to complete our Ruin. We must be of Opinion, not one Inch of Ground should be yielded to our Enemies in a Matter of such high Importance, on which the very Essence of our Liberties both Civil and Political depends. And that consequently it is necessary the present general Non-Importation
188
NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS. [1770
Agreement should stand firm and be persevered in, until the Act for imposing a Duty for the purpose of raising a Revenue in America be totally repealed: Such Gentlemen are our Sentiments, and the collec- tive Sentiments of the Body of People in this Place, upon this important Subject ; and as it is somewhat Impracticable to send Deputies from this Place, any System that may be formed by the Deputies from the great trading Cities, agreeable thereto shall be adopted and adhered to by us.
Then the following Resolves were also unani- mously agreed to, only one or two Persons had some Exceptions to the Fifth.
Ist. Resolved, That this Meeting do adopt and agree to the Non-Importation Agreement in the above Letter referred to, in the fullest extent.
2d. Resolved, That in the present critical Situation of publick Affairs, it appears to this Meeting, that the Continuance of the Non-Importation Agreement whole and entire, be strictly adhered to, without the least Infringement, until the total Repeal of the Act of Parliament imposing. a Duty on Paper, Glass, Painters Colours and Tea, is of absolute necessity.
3d Resolved, That we will by every legal Means in our Power endeavour to Co-operate with our Neighbours, in this Colony to preserve the said Agreement whole and entire against all Attempts that may be made to violate the same, and that we will not buy any Goods from any Person or Persons who shall act or do any thing contrary to that salu- tary Compact ; and also, that we will use our influ-

1770]
ence to prevent others from buying any Goods from them.
4th. Resolved, That all Persons that may be guilty of violating the said Agreement, shall be considered by us as Enemies to the Rights and Liberties of their Country, and shall be treated by us as such, accord- ingly.
5th. Resolved, It appears to this Meeting that the Merchants of Newport in Rhode Island have been guilty of Violating the Non-Importation Agreement, and consequently have acted as Enemies to the Lib- erties of North-America ; and that for the future we will have no Commerce or Dealings with them un- til they do return to their strict adherence to their solemn Agreement of Non-Importation.

NEW-YORK, July 2.
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in Connecticut, who is one of the largest traders in dry goods in that colony.
"There is nothing in life that gives a clearer dem- onstration of the instability of human affairs, than the conduct of New-York,-they have sunk their credit by their late conduct, as far as I can learn,-with this and all the other New-England governments; you have had meeting after meeting, cabal after cabal,- dictated to your neighbours in a haughty strain,- value yourselves high on the honour you have to be New-Yorkers,-the only people who have stood to the non-importation agreement, all this-this week,- the next convinces the world of the reverse ; for my part, I am sorry for New-York, a place I value so highly ; if they import before the other governments, they will lose the trade of this government, -- for altho' non importation is no virtue in us, (as we im- port none of any value at any time,) yet we value our rights as high as any others ;- and as you have of late, got all our trade, we look upon you as our wall of defence, respecting the non-importation, as far as it relates to the preservation of our liberties. There are several letters in town from New Jersey and other places of the same import.

And that they have unanimously and absolutely rejected the said proposal,-being resolutely determined firmly to adhere to the non-importation agreement as it stands, and that the people of Connecticut and New- Jersey have determined to have no further dealings with this place, unless the said agreement is strictly maintained, . . . -Pennsylvania Chronicle, No. 182, July 2-9, 1770.

Elizabeth-Town, June 8, 1770.
" GENTLEMEN,
TTOUR Favour of the 2d Instant, we have received and considered ; before the Receipt of which, the Merchants, Traders, and Freeholders of this County, being called together by public Adver- tisements, unanimously resolved to support the Non- Importation Agreement to the utmost of their Power, a Copy of which Resolution, signed by us and many others, is here inclosed, which sufficiently discovers their and our Sentiments. As to the Mat- 13 Y
194
NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS. [1770
ter of sending Deputies to Norwalk, we are sorry such a Proposal should have been made. Had these Colonies never entered into any Resolutions, a Pro- posal for Deputies to concert a general Plan, might have been very proper ; but now as our Honour and Faith is pledged to each other, shall we leave the noble spirited Inhabitants of Charles-Town, and the other faithful Colonies, to stand or fall by them- selves? Should you have invited the whole Conti- nent to the Congress, and should they resolve to break their Agreement, yet this would not have been justifiable. Our Friends on the other Side the Water have a Right to be consulted. 'Tis not our Cause only but theirs also, which is now depending upon keeping or braking our Agreement. Our Friends in England relying upon our Honour and Faith, have engaged in the Cause, and acted upon our Agreement. They have pledged their Honour for us, and shall we now meet to consult whether we will deceive and leave them the Scorn of their Ene- mies, who are also the Enemies of Liberty and Jus- tice ? Shall we meet to consult whether we have Honour or Faith, or public Virtue? We cannot agree to it If you had proposed a Meeting for strengthening, and for further securing the Virtue and Resolutions of the Colonies, we should have joined you, but to meet and consult whether we will be faithful, would be a Reproach to us. We flatter ourselves that if you will be pleased to re-consider the Matter, you will see the Absurdity, and lay aside the Proposal, which is the earnest Desire of,
Gentlemen,
Your very humble Servants.
