Extract of a letter from Princeton, July 13. This afternoon
the students at Nassau-Hall, fired with a just indignation
on reading the infamous letter from the merchants in New-
York to the committee of merchants in Philadelphia,
informing them of their resolutions to send home orders for
goods, contrary to their non-importation agreement, at the
telling of the college bell, went in procession to a place
fronting the college, and burnt the letter by the hands of a
hangman, hired for the purpose, with hear y wishes, that the
names of all promoters of such a daring breach of faith, may
be blasted in the eyes of every lover of liberty, and their
names handed down to posterity, as betrayers of their
country.
