Being coiifcious of this truth, it may be unnecefl'aiy to remind the fair, that an oppor tunity has now offered to display the generous attributes of their jouls. Our valued allies now im plore aflillance ; escaping front the Ruffian barbarity of a murderous mob, deprived of* .1 ll that fortune had prelentedj or their indaitry had accumulated, they seek refuge in this afyjlin* of peace and .happiness, ■without food to support.their droop ing bodies, or clothes to protert them from the inclemency of the ■climate.—The liberality of our ci tizens is already preparing to afford their mite ; b»it how many leinale fti angers,many of them lately blefl ed with affluence, demand the more immediate and particular attention cf their own sex I Once furnifhed with every luxury of life, they now would gladly receive the humbled pittance—Very few pofl'ef* a second change of garments, and it is in this that you can especially aflifV them ; thitik but a moment on their helplel's situation, their impoverish ed infants, torn from the hapless partneis of their misfortunes, their huibands, fathers—and my feeble ♦ oice will not be required to ftim- Jiion into a< r rion the com 111 iferation and benevolence of your hearts.
