Last Friday came to town Mr. William Goddard, printer in the city of Philadelphia, and at Baltimore in Maryland. The cause of that gentleman's tour is interesting to all the colonies and we are happy to find, that all through which he has come are thoroughly engaged in the glorious cause, every colony to the southward of us manifest their readiness to come into the measure: and we are informed there is not the shadow of a doubt of its being warmly patronized by the genuine sons of liberty in Portsmouth, who are to meet at Union-Hall this afternoon. How cheerfully will every well-wisher to his country lay hold of an opportunity to rescue the channel of public and private intelligence out of the hands of a Power, openly inimical to its rights and liberties.
