an exceeding good colour, (he has up-
yards of 30 yards of the fame filk
kft.
If every lady would follow her ex
ample in rrifing raw filk, and fpinnlng
it only, they w ould not only lave ma
ny tlioufand pounds per annum,to this
ftatc, but would fet an example wor
thy of being followed by the ladies in
the northern flates, and thofe that live
in every other part of the w'orld, where
raw filk can be raifed. He adds, that
if a fiatuc was to be erected in honour
of the lady, it might be attended with
a good cfFcft, as it might induce many
perfons to follow fuch a laudable and
patriotic example.
WILMINGTON,
September 17.
From a CGrrejpondenf,
Accounts' from the Weftern coun
ties in this ftatc, mention the people
being very much difiatisfied with the
dolngsoftbc convention; that they
generally have chofen federalifts to rc-
prefentthetB in the next afi^mbly.—
In the county of Rowan, Generals
PvUihcrford and Lock arc left out, in
confcquencc of their voting againft
the confiirution in the convention—
Iviciiis. Caldwell and Gator arc chofen
in their room, and Mr. Steele for Sa-
lifbury. In the county of . Lincoln,
were federal and anti-fedcral
candidates : the anti fedeialifis had
not a fingic vote Col. Dickfon, Dr.
M‘Lane, and Mr. Perkins werc^chofen-
Mecklenburgli have chofen** Major
Grimes, Caleb Phifer, and : Dou-
glafs, Elquires. The county of Surry
have elected federalifts alfo—have not
heard the gentlemen’s names who are
chofen.
His Excellency Auther Sf. Clair,
Efq. Governor of the Weftern Ter
ritory, arrived at Muilringura on the
nth of June laft. “
£x:fm£J of m Utter from FayttferViIU^ dated Sept, ly
_ We have been highly entertrin'^d a faw weeks part, by Mr
Ker.nVs'iheatricalCempany. Their fiipcricrity to ary that
luve beicrc vlCted ns, it tco Rreat to admit the finalleA compa
rif.jn. The lafl r.i»!it they played, to the very great fatisfadli-
cn of a crew tied audience, the tragedy of Ifabella, in the cha-
lii'cr of whom Mjs. Keuna made her appeararce, with digni-
ty, ence, ard tb Jarcc. 'i he powers (he exhibited as an ac-
•^cn.'pV'hcd adlnfs, can only be compared with heiTtlf, in the
Cotintcis ct Salifbury. Every glance of the eje, feature of her
?.!ce, ai;d moticn of licr perfon, (jprke the ctiaraffer Ihc repre-
fe Utd. Silence and admiration filed t!ie houfe ; th* audit nee,
fer a while, forgettir g thtmftlvcs, were in raptures carried
av/iy. The play throughout was well fupported, particulaily
' 'Urt Ealdwir, by ycurg Mr. Kerna ; clthcugh he certainly
in comedy, picofs of fupericr abilities ir; wdiich lie has
tih b;tedin the charaflerof the Mifer and Sir John Irctley.-—
^d;lj Kenra has pefoimcd in charadfer cf jane Shore, and fe-
ethers, in a manner highly acceptable. She is univerfally
allowed to be a good adlrefs, ii file has lefs afllcn than her mo-
'•■‘ft; it cannot be faid fite wants animation. Her part file al-
has perfeft and clear, and the agreeable modulation of her
'Cite never fails to pleafe.
‘‘*>^rs. Smallwood often has the acctifiomed exprcfllon cf
applaufe from the audience, to which, it muft be allossed. fhe
f rretimcsjullly entitled, confidering file has been but few
'ijor.ths on the flage. Her advantageous figure, great vivacity,
‘^•T^Ction to pleafe, and afliduity muft enfure her future fuc-
cefs.
Jlr. Magrath has don? a great degtec of jufiice to fevrral
tr;ara£fers he has rfprefented ; the fuccefs of his indefatigable
tndufrry in perfedfing hinifilfin hIs parts, his modeft and dlf-
J-fcet attention to the buCncfs in general, covers many faults, and
bids iair for a rapid impiovemcnt.
“ 'Ihcfuitable alotments of the different parts, and tht
?ocd order with which the whole was conduced, reflefis fa
'ottrably on the j udgment of Mr. Kenna, who always does juf-
tice to the chara(5er he. perfonates.—»i..They will foon
leave this place for Wiliping on, where, it is wifiled, their
encouragcnient may be in proportion to their merit. 7 hat idea
of wanton levity and extravagance, which too often juftly ac
companies the reputation of thofe of their profeflion, appears to
be in no refpeft applicable to Mrs. Kenna. and her daughter j'
their general conduft is marked with oeconomy and dlfcrctioc.
7* his ExcelUncj Samuel jehnfon, Efq, Cevernor of the fate of
Nortb-Carolina, and Vrefdm oj the late Conventun he.d at
Killjborougb,
W E, the underfigned, citizens of the town of Tarborough,
impreffed with the livelieft fenfe of the important mo
tives which influenced the w'ile and virtuous members of the
grand federal convention, held at Philadelphia, beg leave to ap
proach your excellency, and exprefs our fincere approbation cf
the zeal you have difplayed to conneft the Hate of North-Caro-
lina to the general union and to thofe bleffings and happy con-
- fequences we expeft to flow froDi a free and energetic govern
ment. It is a duty we owe to ourfelves, our country and pofte-
rity, to publifii every teftitnony of reprobation of the unhappy
iffue cf that public meafure which claimt': the attention of cur
late convention in Hillfborough, and to record, alfo, our une
quivocal applaufa of the virtue, patriotifm, and exertiens, of
EIGH r V-T WO STATESMEN, whofe wifdom and charac
ters, we trufl, will preferve all that we conceive precious in this
life, to ourfelves and future generations.
United in the principles of your twcellency, we contemplated
with emotions of pleafure and regret, this fmall, but wife and
firm band, flruggiing againft a torrent of popular phrenzy, ex
cited evidently to extinguifli whatever hope remained to rtftore
public faith, revive commerce, and promote agriculture ; and
though thcli efforts proved unfuccefsful, they are not lefs en- '
titled to cur gratitude ; at leaft, their exertions, and the federal
principles of our numerous adherents, may preferve us trom io-
difcriniinate odium, and probably itcommend us at fome fu
ture hourof calmnefs and mcdeiation, to our place in the Uni
ted Government, the only Rock of Salvation on which we can
repofe with confidence and fafety.—Well affured that the moft
difeerning of the majority, begin now to comprehend the danger
into which their condufl was calculated to involve their country,
themfelves, and their fellow citizens—we publllh this declarati
on of our principles, defermined to rife and fall with the Union
of Anerica ;fupv>licating your Excellency to employ all confti-
tutioanl ire-ins & influence in your power toconv nee the adopt
ing Statts, or their Ext cutivis, that North Carolina ought not
to be included in general crimination, but thata confiderable
part cf Iter moft refpeftable citizens are fiill attatched to a fede
ral fyftem, from perluafion, that from it alone they can expert
exemptiion Irom dcmeftic infurreftien, defence from foreign in-
vafion, and conunuance of the bleffings of peace and profpsrity.
