TO THE INHABITANTS OF VIII LMINGToN.


FELLOW CIrIzEss.--There can be no doubt
that it is the duty Of every citizen to exert all
honorable means to promote the improvement
and increase the value of that situation which has
been destined to be his residence, to examine
into and search out all the varied circumstances
that shall conduce to the aggrandizement or con-
senience of his habitation.


While we are in the possession of these senti-
ments, this Borough loudly demands our aid
We see it at this moment in the most perilous
situation, and labouring under disadvantages the
most grievous, which, perhaps, will be attended
with frightful consequences.

sact of daily decrease of the value of your prop
e7ty, and witness daily its precarious situation,

s'"ush' and also demonstrating the futility OF
lying on appearance in times ofnecessity.
