 Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia.

 "Your friends at the north are active.  A meeting I expect was held in Boston two days ago.  Next week a meeting will be held in one of the counties of this state adjacent to Philadelphia.- A short memorial with a heading in blank has been written and published, and will be circulated for signatures in this city and the adjoining counties of Penn., New Jersey, and Delaware.  A state meeting will probably be held in your behalf at Trenton, N.J. within a few days.  An edition of the Essays of William Penn is now printing in this city consisting of a thousand copies."
