-V refpeftab!? charafter of James Rof«, Esq. of Pittfcurgh, who ha 6 been proposed to be chofeu governor of Pennsylvania, one is that he is a Drift. We trust that we have a sincere regard for truth and religion, and we feel ourselves bound by the dntie9 we owe to both, so far as our teliimony can go to remove from our fellow citizens, this obllruflion to the free exercise of our votes in favour of Mr. Rofs. God forbid that we should assist in placing in such an important a station.a man defective in refpeft for religion. And we but obey the dictates of our own confidences in ma king the following declaration of what we know of Mr. Rofs, from our own observa tion and indubitable information. Mr. Rofs was born of refpeftable and pious parents, of the Presbyterian churc'i in York county in this (late, and received f om them a rtlijjous education. He is well in ftruitfd in the scriptures and the do&rines of christianity as held-by our church ; and we are persuaded believes and refpe&s them. He lived lorg in this town, and long er in this county, and we have had good opportunities of knowinu him. Where he has lived, there has not been ftated mmifter, and only occasional fiipplies for public worfliip. Eut he has contributed to the support of public wnrfivp where lie liv ed, and attended it regularly and there is nothing known to us in jiiftify the imputa tion that he is an infidei*rr defft, and we think this imputation, sals and malicious. Jn witness whereof we ha\e hereto set our | \ bands. • Robert'stockton j E ' dc " ° f Waftir S to » Jofcph Wherry j Congregation. John Cotton 1 Elders of Buffaloe Congre- Jatres Brice J gation.
