The alarm of the inhabitants has not

their fate. This circumfiance has made a

Mr. Fenno,
THE wry inteceitip<r representation
of the proceedings of the State Com
miffioners, in relation to th.e dittuiban
ees iii the county of Alleghany, rnuft
convince every man who is riot a har
dened unbeliever, that the opposition
to the ia.vs in the four uellern counties
of Pennsylvania, and the consequent
outrages, have been altogether the re
sult of chance and fii.ddeh ISurfta of paf
lionj —and that the influence of the
leading men there (who were fortunately
known to the two commissioners) was
directed tothe maintenance of order,
and the prevention of all Conventions,
committees of fefcty and aflemblages
of men in military array. All the mif
chiel therefore done and intended to be
done, mull be wholly chargeable to
the thirty or forty militia men, who
happened to be at I)r. Beards, wnen
the news arrived, that the Mar ft a! had
been active in the lawful discharge of
his duty. It was this small body of
men who made the firft attack upon
General Neville's houie—were repulsed
and returned to the charge in company
with a thousand more equally determin
ed with themfelves—lt was they who
founded the taefin thotighout the "four
counties and canfed the people to a (le ru
ble in arms in Braddock's fieldi—lt was
they who broke open the mail and dis
patched couriers throughout the neigh
bouring countii s—lt was they who pro
scribed aiid banilhed from their homes,
leveral rtfpettable citizens for obeying
the laws of theii country—lt was they
whofuggefled the idea of a. Convention
at Parkinfon's Ferry—ln fine, these
thirty or forty intrepid militia men, are
the very persons, who in an unbridled
gujl of pajfion, chose the committee ps
twelve, with whom commissioners on
the part of the general government and
the government of Pennsylvania have
been and ate now deliberating, whether
the laws of the unron lliall be respected
or the blood of its citizens shed in at

them ! ! ! It mult be acknowledged
