August 01, 1775
THE PENNSYLVANIA EVENING POST, Philadelphia, Aug. 1, 1775.

* Lexington and Concord
* Slavery

A page 2 item begins: "Slaves, as these unfortunate black people are, and dull as all men are from slavery, must they not a little suspect the offer of freedom from that very nation which has sold them to their present masters?..." with more (see photos) & continued in a following issue.  Another interesting article on pg. 3 begins: "Whilst I feel the deepest anguish & sensibility for the loss of our hapless countrymen, who lately fell in the action with the Americans near Boston, suffer me to entreat you to STAY THE SWORD and suspend any farther operations against the colonists until some happy conciliating means may be devised..." with more. This is a great article, taking over a full column. Some other Revolutionary War-related items as well. Four pages, some water staining near the margins, otherwise good. Measures about 8 by 10 in.
