Physical Description
A. L. S. 3 pp. 8o
Description
Necessity of a wise and virtuous course on the part of the Assembly, in order to restore public confidence; he was driven out of the Assembly by their bad measures, tending to bring the Legislature into contempt; he learns that the present Assembly intends to dissolve itself, to make way for a general convention to remodel the Constitution; this would be improper, without a requisition from the people, and untimely; the people here fear that the Assembly may pass laws infringing the Articles of Peace; Great Britain might then make reprisals without much danger of offending the European powers or even the other American States; his son and William Allison have erected a snuff manufactory; they have petitioned the Assembly for a protective duty.
