THE PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE, Philadelphia, Nov. 17, 1768  A famous colonial title once published by Benjamin Franklin, this issue contains a report on page 2 stating that two officials, a regiment captain and others unknown were charged with advising: "...several Negroe Slaves in the Town to beat, abuse and cut their Masters Throats, promising them as a Reward...to make them free... plus word that the Town Watch was appointed ...to see that good Order is observed in the Night, and that they take up all negroes, whom they shall find abroad at an unreasonable hour."
An extract of a letter from North Carolina states in part: "In one of our Western Counties we have had a very dangerous Mob; a Number of armed Men, calling themselves Regulators, and refusing to pay any Debts or Taxes....The greatest Grievance complained by these deluded People, is the want of a Paper Currency, or some Medium, to answer the trade of the Country....".
There is also a mention of a female evangelist: "Since our last Mrs. RACHEL WILSON, an eminent Preacher among Friends, who lately arrived here...from England...set out by Land for South Carolina. She preached several times in this Province and New-Jersey, to the great Satisfaction of Thousands of well-disposed People of all Denominations."
