When you reflect how low the Credit of New England, Road Island, Connecticut, Maryland, and Carolina, are fallen by too fre- quent and too Large Emissions of paper-Money, You will not blame my Caution, more especially as it is disinterested on my part, and can have no other Tendency than to preserve the Honour of this now flourishing Province.
I cannot, therefore, doubt of Your having Candour enough to allow me the Right of Exercising my Judgment in all matters that shall come before me, and more especially in one that so nearly concerns the Happiness of the province as well as my Own Reputation.
This Bill, as it is calculated to be the only Act upon which the Credit of your whole paper-money will depend, ought to be well guarded, distinct and properly expressed, that it may carry with it the Evidence of Care and good Judgment in the framing, without which it may suffer in the Opinion of Those before whom you know I am obliged to lay it.
And therefore, as you have Annual Assemblys who sit upon their own Adjournments, I hope you will not think it unreasonable that I take some time and the best information I can get, the better to enable me to judge Rightly of a Bill of this Consequence.

The Assembly having sent two of their Members to acquaint the Governour that this evening the House was to adjourn to the 30th of this instant, The Governour desired their Attendance at five of the Clock, and having accordingly attended, He spoke to them as follows :
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly :
The Good agreement which has subsisted between us during this long Session is, I hope, a happy Presage of the like with all future Assembly's during my Government ; And your Attendance on the publick Business at a time so inconvenient to your Private Affairs, deserves the Acknowledgements and Thanks of those you represent.
As I despise all little Acts for the Advancement of my own Fortune, The Present you have already made me unasked, unsol- licited, and previous to your entering on Business, and your assurance of an Honourable Support for the time to come, is in every particular manner Acceptable to me, and will engage both my Esteem and Affection, as well as excite my best endeavors for the service of the Province.
The Regularity of your own Behaviour may influence some to the Love and practice of Virtue, but the Corruption of the Gene- rality of Mankind is such as to require the severity of Laws. I earnestly therefore recommend to you, Gentlemen, in your several Stations a strict Execution of them upon such as will be no other- ways terrified from the Practice of Vice and Immorality, and I promise you both my encouragement and Assistance.
As you are now to return to your Several Counties, I assure my- self that each of you will endeavour to make the People sensible of the great and Valuable Blessings and Priviledges they enjoy, and that an abuse of them will be both displeasing to God and un- grateful to the Memory of the First Founder of this Province, as it will disappoint His Generous Intentions, and in the end prove destructive of their own Happiness.

Then laying down four Strings of Wampum, he said that he had in the path between him and us sometimes found some little rubs, that he took care on his part to remove every little stick or Grub [that is, every Impediment that could cause uneasiness, or prevent a Good understanding between them and us], And now all was clear

That his Brother, the Proprietor, told him he should come once a Year to visit him, and that he was come on hearing of the Govern- our's Arrival, and was Glad to see the proprietor and Governour in good health, and hoped they would long enjoy it.
Then laying down four strings more of Wampum, He said that there, had always subsisted a perfect Friendship and good under- standing between the Indians and this Government, and it is his Desire and Hope that it will ever continue, and grow Stronger and Stronger, and that it will never be in the power of any to interupt or break it.
That it was formerly said that the English and Indians should be as one Body or one People, half the one and half the other; but they were now to be all as one heart, not divided into halves, but intirely the same without any Distinction. That their Hearts should be equally open on both sides to each other, clear without spot like the Sun in a fair Day without a Cloud from rising to Setting.
That to preserve this good understanding we must on neither side harken to Reports, but when we hear any worth notice we should in- quire of each other into the truth of them and beleive only what each other says.
That he heard at home of some murders committed by Indians on some of the white People in Virginia, but not knowing how it was he hoped the Governour could fully inform him here.
Then presenting three small Bundles of Deer Skins in the hair, he said he had brought a few skins to the Governour ; they were but a Trifle and of little value, but he had no more, and desired the Governour's acceptance of them to make him Gloves; which is all he has at this time to say to the Governour.
The Governour told them he took their visit and speech very kindly, and would answer them to-morrow ; and then they all with- drew.
The Deerskins being afterwards numbered and weighed they were thirty-four Summer skins weighing 801b., @ 2-, comes to £8.

Friends and Brethren :
The Honourable the Proprietors, the sons of your deceased Father William Penn, having appointed me their Lieutenant Gov- ernour of this Province, It is a great Pleasure to me to find that by the Care of that Great and Good Man at his first Settling this Colony, so firm and solid a friendship was established with all the Indian Natives of it; nor did he only establish it himself when present, but he was further Careful that all those whom he appointed in his absence to rule here in his stead, should continue and im- prove the same. His Children, also, as they have succeeded him in the Inheritance, so they have no less in Affection and Tenderness for all your People, of which you have already received many Proofs.
For my part, whom you are now come to Visit, I desire that not only you, but your Children and all your People, may be Assured that I shall ever use my best Endeavours to maintain and improve the same Brotherhood, Friendship, and good understanding that have hitherto Subsisted between our People and yours, in which I shall act agreeably not only to the Directions of Our Proprietors, but to my own Inclinations, and from a tender Regard for the Good of all your People.
I am pleased with all you said to us Yesterday. I thank you for your kind Visit. I am Glad the Road or Path between us is fully cleared, and to your Satisfaction. It must always be both your Care and Ours, not to harken to the reports of idle People, but to hear each other Speak. We shall be pleased to see our Sober good Brethren as often as you find Occasion. It was long since agreed that you and we should be but as one heart, and that our Breasts should be open to each other; and so thus we must ever continue, we and our Children, to all Generations ; which you must carefully imprint on the minds of all your Younger People, and that the same may descend to all Posterity. I heartily thank you for your

The Assembly having acquainted the Governour last night, by two of their Members, that they were met according to adjournment, He desired that the House would attend Him at Eleven of the Clock this Day. The Assembly attending accordingly, The Gov- ernour spoke to them as follows :
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly:
As the Happiness of every British Subject is connected with that of His Majesty and the Royal Family, The Birth of a Prince must afford a real Satisfaction to every Lover of his Country, as such, therefore, I can not but imbrace the first Opportunity of con- gratulating you on so agreeable an Event.
This having been the usual Season for sitting to do Business, both my Duty and Inclination call upon me to recommend such things to you as I think most likely to advance the Prosperity of this Province. The soil of many parts of it is productive of Hemp and Flax, and there is Wood in abundance for making Pot-Ash. There seems, therefore, to be wanting nothing but a due encourage- ment from the Legislature, to engage the Attention of the Inhabi- tants to the Improvement of these valuable Commodities-Valuable, as they will furnish your Merchants with a Remittance for the Manufactures imported from Great Britain ; and consequently make Gold in some degree current here, as well as set reasonable Bounds to the course of Exchange. And the more valuable, as

they do not interfere with the Product of your Mother Country, but will be of immediate Advantage to it, and be a means of engag- ing its Protection when you shall stand in need of it.
The better your Commodities exported from hence are, the better Price they will fetch at Markets abroad. Care, too, ought to be taken that the Exporter be not deceived in the quality of them ; for as the Charges of Exportation on a bad Commodity are to him the same as on a good one, if he finds himself deceived he will buy where he can be better served. This Consideration applied to your Flower Trade, will induce you to take some further care of it, for tho' the Laws you already have will be of great service if well ex- ecuted, some farther Regulations seem necessary, particularly to prevent the Mixture of different sorts of Grain, which every Man sees are now reaped together on the same Field.
