Many of the weavers who refused to take the oath have returned to their looms:
some, who foolishly bound themselves by it, have left the town or intend to
leave it; and others continue to ramble about in a state of destitution. Those
who have work at the advanced prices, are not at all better off than heretofore:
their number is small, and they do not obtain full employment; moreover, they
are obliged to pay a portion of their wages towards the maintenance of their
brethren who still stand out. - Carlisle Patriot.
