The Upper House. 201

certainly come to Annapolis during the Assemblys sitting,
so that there will be an Opportunity of Concerting such
measures as may prevent the Evil Complain'd of for the

in your Debates for as nothing can Conduce more to the well
being of a People, than good will towards one another; so
nothing can be more destructive, to the publick welfare than
unreasonable Jarring and Violent Passions.
