But what if New-York wants Faith, generous Sentiments and Honour; must therefore all the American Colonies drop these Virtues and sink into Slavery, quit their Spirit and Virtue, and lament like Children in Despair, we are betrayed and undone by New-York, and can't help ourselves ?- Not so, my Countrymen, New-York indeed wants Virtue, Faith, natural Affection to their Offspring, Humanity and Public-Spirit ; but, thank Heaven, they want Numbers, Riches, and Independence too-A narrow Strip of Land, not 25 Miles wide, between Connec- ticut and New-Jersey, makes the fairest and most considerable Part of their Province, and were their Neighbours of Connecticut and Jersey to withdraw their Connexions they would sink into a Char- acter as little respectable for Merchandize or Me- chanic Arts, as for Faith and Honour-indeed the abandoned Perfidy of New-York, gives the two Col- onies of Connecticut and New-Jersey an Opportu- nity of displaying those Virtues, which indeed they always had the Happiness and Honour of possess- ing, but never of exercising in an effectual Manner till now .- There are Times, critical Periods, in which single Persons, Cities, Provinces, Kingdoms have an

Opportunity to exhibit their Virtues to the utmost Advantage, and perpetuate their Honours to the latest Posterity, and the wickedest and most aban- doned Characters often furnish these Opportuni- ties, . . .
Such an Opportunity have the Colonies of Con- necticut and New-Jersey at this Time, arising from the unexampled Baseness of New-York. Those Colonies have no Capital trading or manufacturing Towns, in which their Virtues and Weight can be collected and illustrated equal to their Merits, but have perhaps as much public Spirit, Truth and gen- uine Love of their Country, diffused thro' their scat- tered Settlements, as can or ever could be boasted of either in the more populous Towns of America, or even in antient Greece or Rome. They have now an Opportunity by general Consent, to exhibit all these Virtues in full Blaze to the Public, and in their full Efficacy too ; . . -Pennsylvania Chronicle, No. 183, Fuly 9-16, 1770.

GENTLEMEN,
YOUR Favour of the 2d Instant, we have re- ceived and considered ; before the Receipt of which, the Merchants, Traders and Freeholders of this

County, being called together by publick Advertise- ments, 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 Matter of sending Deputies to Norwalk, we are sorry such a Proposal should have been made. Had these Colonies never entered into any Resolutions, a Proposal 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 themselves? Should you have in- vited the whole Continent 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 con- sulted. 'Tis not our Cause only, but theirs also, which is now depending upon keeping or breaking 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 Enemies, who are also the Ene- mies of Liberty and Justice ?.... Shall we meet to con- sult whether we have Honour or Faith, or public Virtue? We cannot agree to it. If you had pro- posed a Meeting for strengthening, and further se- curing the Virtue and Resolutions of the Colonies,
201

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 reconsider the Matter, you will see the Absurdity, and lay aside the Proposal, which is the earnest Desire of, Gentlemen,
Your very humble Servants.

was a Magistrate and Captain of a Troop of Horse.

The Service was performed by the Reverend Mr. Preston, Minis- ter of the Church at Amboy.

North-America : We, the Inhabitants and Freehold- ers of the County of Essex, in the Province of New- Jersey, Do RESOLVE.
Ist. That it is our unanimous Opinion, that the several Signers to the late Importation Agreement in New-York, have basely and perfidiously betrayed the common Cause, deserted their Countrymen in their united Struggles for a Removal of Ministerial Oppressions, and violated their Faith, so often plighted to the Friends of constitutional Liberty, both in Great-Britain and her Colonies.
2d. That every Person, who, contrary to the Non- Importation Agreement, hath or shall import, ought by the Friends of their Country, to be treated, not only in like Manner as they themselves set the Ex- ample, in the late Case of the Merchants and Trad- ers of Newport, in the Colony of Rhode-Island, but be held in the utmost Contempt, by all the Friends of Liberty, and treated as Enemies to their Country.
3d. That we will strictly adhere to our Resolutions of the 5th of June last ; as far as they relate to pur- chasing Goods imported from Great-Britain.
They then proceeded to appoint a Committee of Correspondence ; who are also to do, every other Act necessary for promoting and supporting the above resolutions.

Mr. PRINTER,
The world would be glad to be informed in the fol- lowing particulars.
Ist. W HY those gentlemen in New-York, who were opposed to the late adopted meas · ures, did send their orders for goods, so suddenly, as not even to wait the sentiments of the neighbouring colonies, what steps should be taken in consequence of the perfidy of the New-York faction ? A piece of conduct that renders it difficult for us to distinguish those who were for importing from those who were against it.
2d. Whether self-interest may not have so great influence over the mind, as to make even those who now oppose the measure, espouse it when the goods do actually arrive ?
21I
NEWSPAPER EXTRACTS.
I770]
3d. Whether their importing is not as really detri- mental to the public cause, as the same thing done by the other party?
4th. Whether the minority, by still adhering to the non-importation agreement, would suffer more now, especially when almost every public spirited person would give them the preference, than they would have done, had the majority, as they are called, continued their adherence ?
5th. Whether the minority. by importing, do not weaken the hands, and counteract the public spirit of the neighbouring provinces in their endeavours to re- duce the delinquents to a sense of their duty, and hereby even make themselves partizans against the other colonies.
6th. Whether it is not highly reasonable that the minority in New-York, should at least equal other people, in trying to bring their deluded brethern to reason ?
And 7th. If upon a reconsideration of the matter it should appear to have been too hasty, whether then it would not be highly proper for them to counter- mand their orders, moreover directing their corres- pondents in Britain, to have no commercial dealings with the betrayers of their country, under penalty of never hereafter purchasing goods from such British merchants ?
These matters the world are anxious to see ex- plained ; as the conduct of the minority seems some- what mysterious, especially when viewed in conjunc- tion with that of the neighbouring provinces. The Union, prosperity and freedom of America is the sin-

To the PRINTER.
TT cannot be denied but that the Non-Importation Agreement, which was entered into by the Mer- chants in the several Colonies on this Continent has been much applauded by the most judicious and fast Friends of America, on both Sides of the Water, as the only Expedient to obtain a Repeal of the odious Act of Parliament, imposing a Duty on Goods im- ported, for the Purpose of raising a Revenue in America.
That a steady Perseverance in attending to the same, has likewise been strongly recommended by all her best and most knowing Friends; notwith- standing a partial Repeal of that Act which is not to take Place till December next (for in this lies the al- luring bait) is equally True. The same is further urged by this just observation, that if the Merchants or Importers do not persist in a strict observance of the Non-Importation Scheme, until a total Repeal of that Act, we cannot promise or flatter ourselves on any future Trial the least prospect of Success.
However the self denial, or great the hardships may be in this Matter on the Part of the Merchants in particular, It is certain the Cause for which it is suffered, is infinitely greater ; for no less than our civil Rights and Privileges, both for ourselves and Posterity, are apparently at Stake in this Contest, and the same will undoubtedly be infringed upon, and finally taken from us if a bad Ministry may have their Ends.

Hence how must it grieve the Hearts of all true undissembled Friends of America, to be told the Merchants in New-York, even the Committee or De- positories of that salutary Measure, have violated and broke their plighted Faith in this Matter, and thereby have given our inveterate Enemies Cause to exult and rejoice. Shocking ! To see New-York before this, so high in Esteem and Reputation, who' had the Eyes of the Sister Colonies fixed on her, as a strong Pillar in this important Struggle, just when brought to a Crisis, fall through and desert her Cause. How can you N. Yorkers, who were for- merly renowned for asserting and supporting the Cause of Freedom, answer for this Conduct to God, your Country and Posterity ? Alas, the love of Mammon has been too prevalent with you to this Idol, you have prostituted your Honour and stained your Character. I will not compare your Guilt to that of J-s I-t, but the Wound you have given to the common Cause of America, is indeed dangerous, yet I would hope not Desperate (whilst some honest Sons among you, yet remain) the best you can now do, is, to do as St. Peter did when he had denied his Master. Return instantly from whence you have so shamefully revolted, that your Crime may be remitted.
