in a liberal point of light. Be pleased to make the most favourable representation of them to the honourable the Members of the Congress. We believe we may take upon us to say, notwithstanding all that has past, there are still men In Georgia who, when an occasion shall require, will be ready to evince a steady, religious, and manly attachment to the liberties of America. To the consolation of these, they find themselves in the neighbourhood of a Province whose virtue and magnanimity must and will do lasting honour to the cause, and in whose fate they seemed disposed freely to involve their own.

We have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient and very humble servants,

To the President of the Continental Congress.

CALVERT COUNTY (MARYLAND) COMMITTEE.

April 5, 1775.

In consequence of an information received, that Mr. Alexander Ogg, merchant at Huntingtown, had sold and was selling his goods at a greater advance upon the prime cost than was recommended by the Provincial Convention, held at Annapolis in December, 1774, the Committee met at Huntingtown on Saturday the 25th March, and continued by adjournment till this day.

Ordered, That the Clerk give notice to said Ogg, and desire his attendance immediately before the Committee. Accordingly he attended, and produced his shop-notes and books, from which it appeared he had sold at a much higher advance than one hundred and fifty per cent on the prime cost.

On motion, Resolved, That said Ogg has violated the Association, and therefore ought to be deemed an enemy to the cause of America. Signed per order,

PAT. SIM SMITH, Clerk pro tem.

TO THE PUBLICKS.

I hereby publickly acknowledge that I have, but with no sinister intention, violated the American Association in selling several articles of my last cargo at more than one hundred and fifty per cent. advance upon the prime cost. My goods were imported via Philadelphia, and consequently were much more chargeable than if imported directly into this Province. This extraordinary expense I thought I had a right to reimburse myself; but I find I was mistaken. I am sorry I have offended. I am willing to make satisfaction as far as is in my power. I shall give credit in every article where I have charged a farthing more than one hundred and fifty per cent. upon the prime cost. And as my character as a vender of goods has hitherto been very irreproachable, and I have been as zealous an assertor of American freedom as any man upon the Continent, my sphere of life considered, I hope the publick will forgive this offence, more especially as it has been owing to a misapprehension of the matter, and not to any design of taking advantage of the scarcity of goods that now prevails.

ALEXANDER, OGG.

SUSSEX COUNTY (VIRGINIA) COMMITTEE.

At a Committee held for the County of Sussex, in Virginia, at the Court-House, on Thursday the 6th of April, 1775, present: Thomas Peete, Esq., Chairman, and twenty-seven other Members of the said Committee:

The Proceedings of the Provincial Congress, lately held in the Town of Richmond and County of Henrico, were laid before the Committee by the late Delegates for this County; and the same being read, and maturely considered, the Committee came to the following Resolution:

Resolved, That the thanks of this Committee, in behalf of themselves and their constituents, the good people of this County, are justly due, and are most unfeignedly given to the Congress in general, and to our late worthy Delegates in particular, for the great pains and trouble they have been at, and wisdom shewn in their consultations and resolves, and to assure them that this Committee will adhere strictly to the spirit of the Resolves of the said Congress.

Signed by order.

New-York, April 6, 1775.

A correspondent acquaints us that, on Monday, the 3d of April, the inhabitants of the Borough of Westchester met, in consequence of a summons, to give their sentiments upon a question, whether or not they would choose Deputies to represent them at a Provincial Convention in this City; when they declared themselves already very ably and effectually represented in the General Assembly of this Province by Isaac Wilkins, Esquire; peremptorily disowned all Congressional Conventions and Committees, most loyally repeating the old chorus, God save the King, which was seconded by three cheers.

On Tuesday, the 11th instant, a General Meeting of the inhabitants of the County of Westchester is to be held at the White Plains, to determine whether or not Delegates shall be sent by them to a Provincial Convention at New-York.

TO THE FREEHOLDERS AND INHABITANTS OF THE COUNTY OF WESTCHESTER.

New-York, April 6, 1775.

You are earnestly desired to attend a General Meeting of the County, to be held at the White Plains, on Tuesday next, the 11th instant, to give your votes upon the questions:—

Whether you are inclined to choose Deputies to meet at the City of New-York, in a Provincial Convention? Or,

Whether you are determined to abide by the loyal and judicious measures already taken by your own worthy Representatives in the General Assembly of this Province, for a redress of American grievances?

The consequences that may arise from your neglecting to attend at the White Plains, on Tuesday next, to declare your sentiments relative to the appointment of Deputies to meet in Provincial Congress, may be very fatal to this County. The friends of Government and our happy Constitution are, therefore, earnestly invited in person, to oppose a measure so replete with ruin and misery. Remember the extravagant price we are now obliged to pay for goods purchased of the merchants, in consequence of the Non-Importation Agreement; and when the Non-Exportation Agreement takes place, we shall be in the situation of those who were obliged to make bricks without straw.

MEETING OF THE INHABITANTS OF NEW-YORK.

New-York, Thursday, April 6, 1775.

A number of the inhabitants of this City and County assembled at the Liberty Pole this day, in consequence of a notification published yesterday for that purpose, when they immediately proceeded to the choice of a Chairman. And after the Chairman had fully explained the business and design of the meeting, a motion was made, that the following recommendation and advice of the Committee should be read:—

To the respectable Inhabitants of the City and County of NEW-YORK.

FRIENDS AND FELLOW-CITIZENS: In times so critical as the present, it becomes the duty of every citizen to pay particular attention to the welfare of the community, and to counteract every measure that may tend to injure its interest.

Influenced by these considerations, we view with concern the uneasiness occasioned in this City by the late unusual exportation of Nails; and perceive with anxiety the distress to which a monopoly of this or any other article may expose many among us.

For what purpose, or with what design, such a quantity has, in so short a time, been purchased and exported, we neither know nor can conceive. The clamour raised among the Mechanicks, by the scarcity of Nails during the continuance of the last Non-Importation Agreement, is recent in our memories; and though the manufactories which have since been established will supply more than sufficient for our own consumption, we apprehend it would be imprudent thus rashly to part with what we have in store, especially as this sudden exportation has given just grounds for suspicion and alarm.

It is not within the limits of our appointment to provide
