Fowle's New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

WE have heard many encomiums passed on the regularity and good order of Government in the independent State of Vermont, who are soliciting admission into the confederacy of the United States: If we take a retrospective view of the characters, who composed the legislature of that State, we shall find cause to hope, that they will not be admitted into Union, of New-Hampshire, whose property they have until justice is done by them, to the inhabitants our and unjustly taken away.

It is an established fact, that at least, one thousand rights of Land, within the bounds of this revolted State, belong to non-resident inhabitants of New-Hampshire and other States, but mostly to the former. On all which rights this usurped government have laid a tax of 1os. on the hundred acres, for the support of their government (which Congress have forbid to be recognized) and for the redemption of a Paper BUBBLE, and after giving notice in their News-paper (which travels but within a narrow compass) and in a Connecticut paper (because it never comes into New Hamphire)—The Lands are sold for a trifle, and bought by the men in office, for the most part, who possess large sums of this paper money, and after being bought, if any proprietor applied for redemption, they must give silver money with heavy costs:—There are instances of proprietors of land, in Rockingham, in said State, who lived in Walpole, the next town on the other side the river, whose lands were sold before they were notified. If Congress will suffer these people to hold such lands by virtue of laws (which the subjects of New Hampshire, &c. could not, with honour or respect to that Hon. body, allow to be valid and binding)—I say, if Congress will not guarantee to these subjects their lands, but admit revolters in an unconditional manner into the union, it would have been but an act of justice to have done it years ago, that these non-resident proprietors might have timely secured their property, and known what to have done. It is to be wished the legislature of this State will see justice done to their injured subjects.
