'The people of our county are to meet here on Saturday next, to appoint a committee of twelve Gentlemen, placed in different parts, to keep a lookout that no British, or other goods, should, contrary to the intention and spirit of our association, be landed any where in the county. Other counties are pursuing the same measures, and in Prince George county they have obliged the owner to take on board again twenty pipes of Madeira wine, otherwise they would have been immediately stove. The Pennsylvanians have given us notice that a large cargo of goods, prevented from being landed in their province, was to be landed in our province, in small parcels, and in different parts, if possible. I can assure you they will be well watched.'
