N. B. It is earnestly recommended to the inhabitants to ■condutt themfelvcs as good and peaceable citizens, and not ■think of offering any violence to either the person or property ■of any individual; but to wait with patience till the Meeting ■is held, when, it i 6 expected, such refutations will be entered linto as will be effectual for the support of the Paper Medium. THE fubferiber desirous of feeing the trade of this coun try on a footing equally advantageous to the merchant ■ and planter, did, while in New-York last spring, form a Icorrefpondence with Messrs. THOMAS & OSBORN HAR ■ WOOD & Co, Merchants in Amfterriam, who have lately I authorised him to receive consignments to their address :—He ■ therefore informs the Planters, that he will receive produce, I and Kbip it on account of the owners, and engage the neat I proceeds to be remitted them agreeable to their order. He I expe&s one of the Gentlemen concerned to fettle here in a I fliort time, when this business, if approved of on trial, may I be extensively carried on. From this experiment the Planter cannot be alofer; as I his produce and returns will be insured ; but from the very I low prices of goods in Europe, he may be a considerable | gainer. It 16 certainly the only method by which trade can be regulated ; as it informs the Planter of the value of his product at foreign markets, makes him acquainted with the prices of goods, it puts him on a footing with the merchant, and by comparing his foreign accounts with prices here, can judge, whether it is his interest to ihip or fell in the country. This mode was adopted by the Northern Planters, and was the firft means of bringing the Merchants to their senses ; they found the Planters getting out of their power, and as well acquainted with the prices of goods as themlelves, and of course were obliged to fell at a moderate advance, or keep thtfir goods on hand.

CHIEF JUSTICE’S CHARGE to thfc 6 rand Jury of Burke County, at the Superior Court begun and holden at Wavnf borough, on Tuefday the 17th of October, Gentlemen bf tbt Grand Jury , I AM happy in again meeting title gooi people of Burke as pre tiding Magistrate of this Court, as it fitrniilies me with an occafiou cf mauifeftiug my Heady attention to their inter'eftb, in particular by an equal and impartial diHribution of justice among them, and of my invariable attachment to the prosperity of my ieilow-citizens in general, by improving every hint I may receive here, to the benefit and emolument of the whole. I am alio happy to find, that from a conscientious regard to the laws of foc;e;y, and to th« rights of individuals, the re cords of this Sefiiou will not be stained with any memorials of criminal prosecutions ; a circumstance which does particu lar honot; to thfc good people of Burke, and will, I hope, have a lalutary effect on those of our fellow-citizens, who may be unhappily inclined to adopt a conduft, which has already led too many to infamy and ruin. Your principal business, therefore, Gentlfcmen of the Grand Jury, will be to give an effectual check to vice and immor a* lity in every instance, by prefenthig all breaches of the civil laws of the state which shall come-to-your knowledge, whe ther committed by tavern-keepers, drunkards, profane {wearers, gamblers, or other violaters of the laws of their country, or of the rights of their fellow citizens. You Will alio take into consideration the state and condi tion of the roads through your county, and present every de linquent whole duty it has been to keep them in due repair. Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, I cannot, confident with my duty to my country, dismiss you without touching in very serious terms, on a subject, in which, I am convinced, the present interests of the people, as well as the importance and dignity ol government are deeply involved. The diftreftes of numbers of our good friends and fellow citizens, and the embarrassments of government rendered it neceftary to emit Fifty Thousand Founds in Paper Bills for their relief and support. This emifliou is founded on prin ciples of security, which must recommend it to every real friend to the independent sovereignty of this country, and the happiness and welfare of its citizens. Let me therefore, Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, psrfuade you effectually, as friends to your fellow-citizens, and as supporters of the honor and dignity of your country, to use your utmost influence, on every occafiou, to support a mea sure so well calculated to extricate both government and peo ple from those difficulties and dangers, to which they must oiherwife be exposed. You will now, Gentlemen of the Grand fury, retire to your deliberations; in which, ihould my aid be thought ne neffary, you may confidently rely on my ready disposition to affiit you with any utmolt abilities.
