In Congress, October 16. Whereas frequenting play houses
and theatrical entertainments, has a fatal tendency to diver
the minds of the people from a due attention to the means
necessary for the defence of their country and preservation
of their liberties:
Resolved, that any person holding an office under the United
States, who shall act, promote, encourage, or attend such
plays, shall be deemed unworthy to hold such office, and
shall be accordingly dismissed.
Ordered, that this resolve be published.
