W ad H E numerous murders and robberies lately committed by a set of defper -7* _Jft An ate outlaws are matter of the mod ep serious consideration, and call upon every pofflble exertion of honest men h|'W to contribute to the publick by government, and the rooting out of murderers* villains, aiid rebels. It n a real disgrace tp human nature, and will Ramp lasting infamy upon the present generation of tliofe who Call themselves Americans, that such numbers, and a jnong them feme men formerly of feme rank and. notice, should engage in such abominable proceedings; that men who petition for the King’s protection one day fiiould a gain take up arms the next, and with molt infamous trea chery come among thofc as friends, who, not fufpcCting the duplicity of their conduit, fall an easy prey to their perfidy, rebellion, and treafen. Some that join them again mav poffihlv plead that they did it from mere fofee, and this plea with fonfte, and ‘in Tome mealure,. miv be True, though juftiC? and found po .. it huf .feU.ini All. ; aßPPtrc&iwpJesd , they wefe tn ore-afraid- efr&h&iftebpf $4 than of Govcrnmfnr, and the only remedy has is to make them more afraid of Government’ than of Rebels ; this plea therefore, nnle s in very clear cases, ftould never be allowed to be mule, as it is felf-evident, whether it be true or faife, it will always be pernicious if promifeuoufly admitted. That we may avoid and guard, againd our enemies we ought to know them ; it might therefore be.offervice if the names and defcriptVon of the moft noted plunderers, and of such as have broke their oath, parole, nr allegi ance, wtre from time to time publilhed in the Gazette ; and as prisoners up® parole arc open enemies, and, hav ing liberty and sccefs to all companies, may frequently tsar what r!icy ought not, or vv-Jiat lhyal fubjefr* would oot with to fay before enemies that behave with ftme de cency, pub Hiking frorrwtime to time their flames and abode could do them no dillervice, and migju prevent much uu tafinefs and mifehief. It would be very ufeful for neighbourhoods to agree op en private signals, as form a, one or more plunderers are seen. In Swifleriind, if a wolf or bead of prey appears, the place is immediately alatmed, tin; chafe is begun upon the track, and docs not cease but with the death of tbe creature, and the consequence is that such a chafe dot* not take place above once in an age; trie fame method ■sight be fuccelsfully used against highwaymen and plua defers “amongst us. In England and other countries, if at any time the number of highwaymen and robbers encreafes to an un common degiee, a reward with a pardon to an accomplice is ufuallv offered and given to any by whom such pells of fuciety are taken and brought to justice; and this fre quently answers a good purp .fr,. nor can a man be accufcd of ungenerous motives who endeavours to rid his country of a puttick and peflilential nuifancr, even though he should accept of a well deferred reward for so doing. The principles and practices of such mifercants, who cannot be anfimfiWe that their power to do mifohief, like that of their Father the Devil, is very limited, and who have no thing but r.ge and despair to Hipport them, is a.full proof Os the tiutli of the French proverb, “ All devils are not eonfreed to Hell, nor are all fool* or, madmen lodged m •w 6 ®* A PLANTER. ji Caution to hone ft Travtllcn.

Hopes of impunity have always been the great support of the wicked, mid it is really to be lamented that so many x>f our fellow creatures, and former friends and neighbours, instead of fccuring their peace, falcty, and remain, of pro- a* op.ee Should be actuated by folly, presumption, tage, and despair, to spread misery wheiever they go.
