AUGUSTA, CMtr 6.
A top) of a letttr from an inhabitant of the lower
country * Soutb-Caroiina, to a citizen on the nxitj
ttrn waters.
' SIR,
<l I (hould mark myfelf unpardonably ne
•gledful as an advocate for republicanism, and a
friend to the hardy, industrious, and intrepid race
of -citizens, (whose grievances you deprecate) did
'• I not address you, lick as I am, to pay from my
■- heart, through yoarpatriotifm, that tribute of real
tefped, reverence and applause, which I, and
.every American revolutionist on this thore, en
tertain for, and unequivocally owe, to those repub
licans, -who, after having mutually fought with
us in our days of calamity, relyingon fate, went
to those wilds their- toil had freed, where
frugality and labour are now the companions of
their time’s tranfcient day—
“ Kir. die their fire andpafs the night aivay.
** Alte» nate rejoicing in freedom s gain,
4i And mourning o'er friends by /adages fiain .”
* l Alas ! we have but few among us of this
flamp, and less indeed who underfund the nature
and extent of the liberty they have contended for,
or know the value of that sacred freedom which
cost eight years bloody toil. Some good men
have already left us, and as soon as thole of their
friends who remain here, (hall behold governments
in the weft that will assume dignity, energy and
their rights, the firft opportunity will transplant
them over among you, and an outlet for your
staple, which a conjuncture of circumstances soon
must produce, will, through the acceflion of in
dustrious emigrants, yield real wealth, power and
importance to your country.
“ As for myfelf, I do upon reflexion ccnfider
the weftern territory the hope of Israel.—Our form
er principles on the sea coast are decayed—we are
enervated by luxury and diflipation—« From the
erown of our head to the foals of our feet, there
is no health in us.”
“ Your day of trial in the weft is advancing faft.
u Out of two inevitable evils, chufe the leaft.**—
Rather than be begun with—begin : but leave us as
little to chance as poflible, and resign that like true
sons of freedom to the patronage of heaven. A
. combination of arrogance, avarice and despotism,
Hand ready to devour the fruits of your labour,
and tc furnifli a. chain to fetter you with of what
heaven intended for a domestic blessing, for to-fuck
itfelf fat on your milk and honey. Politicians are
busy in their secret recedes, like spiders laying
their baits, Jurnidling and fixing an extendve
political subtle net, to entangle your wings of li
berty, that you may inadvertently fall -with your
wealth and industry,. a-victim to their fumptu-ous
feftivals.- Your, friends,and yourfelf, in all cases
which concern the privileges of freemen, will find
me your friend." /
ExtraS of a letter from a gentleman in Amfierdam ,
. dated June 21.
u At a little tavern, in the part of the city
called Kattenburgh, -an .address ?in ; favour
of. the Prince of Orange lay.to be signed,; fevecal
of the people who lived there came out and hacked
a number of the common peoplewho flood before
the.Jioufe out of cariofity; upon this, growing
enraged, > they -ruftied into the houfp, plundered
it, and broke every thing: in ; pieces. The Hol
landers when once ( provolced, ,\are not -easy to be
xppeafed. They then went to the known partizans
-of Orange and plundered them also; among o
tbers were the houses of the? hurgomafters Rendorp
and Bcelds, where nothing remained whole-that
they could lay their hands on. J’ happened to pass
along the canal as they were busy with the house of
the former. In a minute the doors were broke
open, lights put out, beds cut open-and thrown in
-the canal, With the fineft thefts of drawers, chairs,
bedsteads, :&c. Ac. When-the Kattenburghers
heard this, .who are all of the Orange party, they
tirew >«p the brigde that feparaites thera from the
Yelk of-the-city, put themfclves m a state of de
fence, and plundered the houses of fix unlucky
patriots who happened to live there. The citizeus
werefent in arms, with two field'pieces to sup
press them, but they could not get over on account
of the brigde being drawn qp; and theKatten
liurghers beginning to fire upon them with cannon,
adion commenced, which lasted from 8 till 11
•o'clock. On the fide of the citizens was one man
' billed, but the other party loft a good many. At
Jafta party of men in a boat, with three
ivent over to theifland, let down the bridge and
• took poffeffmn of it. The patriots »K were ’there
feeing the house. of their in fuc|) a „ rtib ,’
•pndition, began agauMo plunder, wblph Ufred
two 4api but was entirety frj»pr«tf.a fc ot ty
t>f fcorA, who rode ccntinuaNy through the streets,
so that we are as quiet as before. This is all the
news at prefeot here.”
We arc informed from good authority, that
Congress have now under consideration
pofals, made by Samuel Holden Parsons, Efq.and
-others to the number of poo, for five millions of
acres of land, lying on the north- weft of the Ohio
and between the rivers Scioto and Mulkingum,
at the price of two-thirds of a dollar per acre.—
•If this offer is accepted, it will po doubt induce a
rapid settlement of the fertile country adjacent,
which is uow offered for faleby the Commiflippers
■of the Board of Treasury.
The following extract from an r riih paper thews
the indefatigable perseverance of the Methodists
for the propagation of their doctrines, and the
aftonifiling vigour of th,eir leader.
“ VVc hear that the Rev, Mr, Wcfley, who
arrived a few days ago in this city (t'ublin) in
tends visiting most of the principal towns in this
kingdom, with his utiial celerity, though m the
84th year of-bis age. This gentleman may be con
sidered as a prodigy of the preicnt eyntury, who
at this advanced age, rises every morning at four
o’clock, preaches twice, frequently three times,
and travels forty .or fifty miles a day, and what is
most extraordinary, after all his labour, remains
a ttrangerto weariness.”
THE Subfcriber'having in the years 1783
and 1784, purchaferi fcveral trads of land
in this State, for which titles have not been made,
gives this public notice, that uijlefs t the.fame are
delivered by the.ioth day of December next, le
gally executed at'his house, in Wilkes county, near
the town of Wafoington, the Bonds of the de
faulters will immediately thereafter be put in fqit,
without any kind of diftindio>|.
