books for the pur pole of enabling the
citizens of this diitri<£t to manifelt their
attachment to their government, by
taking tlie oath of allegiance, and sub
scribing an affectation, as recommend
ed in his address of the Bth instant,
have afliimed the priviledge of anpex
ing fees to their agency. This conduct
ia so repugnant to the system he has
ftreno.ifly endeavoured to establish, as
well as so opposite to that spirit of af
fection and kindness, which he is anxi
ous to inculcate and diffii.e among the

hereby requires all magistrates who will
not officiate without fee or reward, to
return the booklin their pofleflion, that
they may be otherwise placed.
Should ahy monies be oeceflaiily ex

given by them to the people who may
comply with his recommendation, he
conliders himfelf answerable for it, and

been of one mind in supporting the'
principles and measures of the • true pa
triots in Congress who have attempted,
to overthrow the corrupt money fyflem,
and to resist the fatal progress of treasu
ry ir.ftrumentality. The resolves of the
clubs bear honorable testimony in fargr
of the wisdom of the famous commer
cial plan. The*have made fomc of the
leaders in that biitinefs honorary mem
bers of their foeiety.
T'.cy have alight therefore to look
for the fpfiired support and protection
oi the republican member* of Congress
who have thus been hoaored by the lo
civties with such peculiar ma.ks ofdii
tindtion. To have abandoned the iti
tercils of the societies 'in the day of
their adverlily and difgrac?, would hav
been equally timid and ungrateful.—
The thanks of the republican societies
will no doubt be given in form to cer
