the purpose of promoting the e
leEtion of J AMES ROSS, esq.
of Pittfburg, Joseph Bird,
Esq. -was unanimously chosen
Chairman.
This meeting taking into consideration the
(riiical lituatloß of our country, aflailed
with implacable animolity by a vindi&ive
■and savage enemy, whom neither the laws of
God nor the ordinances of man have been
found to influence, and who lias not only
prattifed upon these United States every spe
cies of iufult, fraud and violence, but com
mitted unexampled ails of cruelty and mur
der upon our inoflenfive and defencelefs fel
low citizens—
Resohed, That in the opinicn of this
meeting the choice of a Chief Magistrate of
this state being intimately connefted with
the future happiness of the nation, we are
convinced that he fhotild be a man poffefling
a jufl regard for the honor, dignity and
prosperity of bis country, pci feftly free from
the influence of those perfidious and sacri
legious principles of Jacobiiiifm which have
already extinguished every republic on earth
but eur own—a man totally exempt from
foreign influence, interests or connexions,
to whose integrity and patriotism the Fed
eral government can look with implicit con
fidence for support in time of danger;
Mei>'ved, That this meeting are of o-
pinion that JAMES ROSS, Esq. of Pittf
burg pofleffes in an eminent degree those
qualifications and virtues that are indispen
sably rcquifite in the executive of a good gov
ernment—that his conduft heretofore in the
State Convention which adopted the Federal
Constitution and in the Senate of the United
States has been such as to merit our entire
confidence and approbation. Therefore we
are determined individually to use all honor
able means in our power te promote the
cleft ton os-laid James Rofs to the office of |
Governor ot"thii Commonwealth. i
Resolved, that the following persons be a j

AT Public Vendue, «n Monday the 13d of
September next, at % o'clocks P. M. at
thchoufe of the Suhfcriber, living in the towß
•f New-Castle, State of Delaware, a number
of valuable
LOTS,
suitable for building on, being the South square
of the flourifliing town of New-Castle afore
faid, distant from Philadelphia thirty-three
mile*.
This valuable property it highly capable of
improvement, being immediately on the river
Delaware, having a number of wharf lots on
n ; and from the depih of the waier (earth
and materials for wharfing being easily procu
red) there ia no doubt but wharves would
brine a handfoine interefi.
This property consists of five acres more or
less, in one body ; lays high, and it divided in
to lots to suit every description of perfoßs.
New-Castle it one of the most healthy and
fiourilhing town* «n the continent; and from
theinereafe of trade it has raised pi operty to
four times the value it was seven years past
The number of veflels bound out and in, which
flop for lupplies of flock, &c. &c. and tke
whole carriage of goods between Philadelphia
and Baltimore, is now through this plate. The
packets and stages from the aforefaid cities, &c-
Ac. make it very lively : ther« is irot, at this
time, ost bouse to be rented in the place ;
and the number of applications for houses make
it an objeA for perfont to improve. There are
a number of elegant and Hfeful buildings now
going on, a Public Academy and several private
Sehooli. The railignant Fever has never made
any progress, and the Ague scarcely known ;
the number of children in this place is a convin
cing praof of the healthiness of it. The prof
pe«ft of the river Delawrre, up aad down is de
lightful ; as far as the eye can diftinguiifh
you may view the veflels in different attitudes
There it reason to fupyofc that public piers for
the Navy will be built here, as veflels can fail
from this place when the river is fall at Phi
ladelphia.
The conditions of sale will be easy and marie
known on the day of file. Place« of public
worihip, market and mills are very contiguous

PHILADELPHIA £sf NEW-YORK,
By ttie (hort and plcafant road of

JUldand Newark.
I"*HE excellence of this road, the populous

ei, with sundry other advantages, which render
it so far preferable »o tlia Old Road through
Uriftol, Brnnfwiek, &c. long ago fvtggefted this
propriety of its becoming the'Graßd 'fho.
rough-Fare from Philadelphia to New York.
Durißg the present year, a minute fnr*eyofit
his been taken,and its superiority ovfcr the Old
Read, both in winter and summer, has beta
clearly afceriained. —Tlmre are good bridge,
over all the other Waters but the Delaware,
and here the eroding is performed with great
fafety and in less than half the time required at
the Trenton Ferry. The road is fcvcral miks
Jhortcr than the old road, but thia is amongj
the least of its advantages, because daily expo
1 ienoe piovi-s to us, tltat dispatch as well as com
fort in travelling principally depend on the
goodnels of the road and the levelnefs of the
country, and, in these re:pei3s, the New Uoad
is, bey nd all companion, the belt. It prel'ents
nonf of thoi'c rocky hills, which render the Old
Koad fu fatiguing between the Delaware and
Newatk. The foil, too, for the greater part, is
I'uch as to produce but little mud in winter, and
v»ry litile i'uft in summer, which circumftince,
added to th# beauty of the country, and a con.
tiderahle proportion of (hide, luuft always reft.
tier travelling in the latterfeafon peculiarly!,
greeabli.
The Swift Sure flans from PHILAD£L>
PHIA, at 6 o'clotk every morning (Sundays
excepted) from the GIUWN TREE, opposite
the Lutheran Church, North Fourth street. It
goes through l»'rar>kford to Bnflleton, where it
ltops to Breakfaft ; from Bttftletown it goes
througli Newtown to Penny-town to dinner;
from Penny town through Hopewell, Millltont,
Bound-brook, Quibbletown and Plainfield to
Scotch Plains to lodge. The «ext morning it
(tops at Springfield to breakfaft, from whence
it goes through Newark and arrives at New*
York at noon.

Way paflengers 6 Cents per Mile.
Each paflenger is allowed to take on of
toggle cirriage free ; but all other baggage,
taken on by a paflenger, will be'charged at'«
cents per pound weight.
With refpedl to packages sent on withs»t
paflengers, the proprietors prelume they have
adopted a regulation, which, though unknewi
to other lines of Hage?, they think mull meet
with general approbation, They pledge them*
(elves to make good every package on the soU
lowing conditions. The person who deliveri
the package at the office shall fee it entered ia
the ttage-book, for which entry he shall pay 6
cents ; he will then Itate the value of the pack*
age,and pay (exclusive of the carriage) one per
cent, on the v due, at infurancr, and for which
Le will receive a receipt. Thus, for inftanct,
il he ellimatcs his package at one dollar, he will
pay one cent, and it at one hundred collars, he
will pay one dollar insurance, and in like pro
portion lor packages of any other value.
Very few persons it it presumed, will dislike
this regulation j it will however, be optionabit
with every one to avail himfelf of this security
or not. But the proprietor! think it right to
Kate very explicitly, that they will be refpon
iible for the fife delivery of no- package, which
is not regularly entered, and for which an infor
auce receipt cannot be produced.
In the diflribution of the route, the greattft
care has bren taken to fix on such places and ta
verns as always afford a good accommodation
and entertainment for the paflengers at the m#3
reasonable rates The stages are well equipped
furniihed with fleet and flcady horses, and com*
innted to the care of intelligent sober and obli
ging drivers. The proprietors themfelvci live
at the different towns and villages where the
stages will flop, Jo that the conduct of the per
sons they employ is continual!) an objedl of their
attention.—They take care also to lee that the
paffengert are well provided for and politely
treated at the taverns, and that no fort of chica
nery or insolence is pratSlifed upon them ; in
short, they have I'paredneitlurpains nor expence
to render the SWIFT-SURE the very belt line
of flaget in America.
The line has now run nearly a month! dur
ing which time a great number of gentlemen
have gone through, both from Philadelphia and
New-York. Every palTenger ha» found the
road to surpass very fir all that hai been said of
its excellence ; and the Proprietors of the Swift
Sure are extremely happy to hear the behaviotii
of their drivers, and the treatment at Tavewsr
i'pokes of with the highest fatist'aflion.
