THE PENNSYLVANIA EVENING POST, Philadelphia, March 28, 1776  

* American Revolutionary War 
* Great year to have (1776)

The front page begins has a letter from New York which includes a document to the Pa. General Assembly noting in part: "That they have the highest sense of the necessity of the UNION of the COLONIES at the present juncture, when the Parliament--Ministry--and King of Great Britain are united in using their utmost efforts to subdue, and enslave them..." with more on this. 
The back page has a notable advertisement by publisher Robert Bell for the printing of a piece which is a rebuke of Paine's "Common Sense" titled: "Plain Truth, address to the Inhabitants of America, containing remarks on a late pamphlet entitled COMMON SENSE, wherein are shown that the scene of Independence is ruinous, delusive, and impracticable; that were the author's asseverations, respecting the power of America as real as nugatory, reconciliation on liberal principles with Great Britain would be exalted policy...and true happiness can only be obtained by reconciliation with that kingdom."
Also on the front page is a letter that has an oblique reference to maintaining a reliance upon England.  Also a brief item concerning the capture of a ship near Sandy Hook & Egg Harbor, New Jersey. 
It's always desirable to have an American newspaper printed inn 1776, this one just over 3 months before the Declaration of Independence.
Four pages, 8 by 9 1/2 inches, nice condition.

background: This issue of the Pennsylvania Evening Post captures the American colonies at a definitive ideological crossroads, juxtaposing the fiery rhetoric of revolution with the desperate pragmatism of British loyalty. The front-page letter to the Pennsylvania Assembly, decrying the "King of Great Britain" for his efforts to "subdue and enslave" the colonies, illustrates the rapid erosion of royal authority and the hardening of a unified American identity just months before the Declaration of Independence. However, the advertisement for James Chalmers’ Plain Truth on the back page serves as a vital historical counterpoint, revealing that the path to separation was far from unanimous; by labeling independence "ruinous" and "delusive," the text highlights the deep-seated fear among many colonists that a break from the Crown would lead to economic and social collapse. Published by the opportunistic Robert Bell—who, with a touch of capitalistic wit, printed both Paine’s radical call to arms and this Loyalist rebuttal—the newspaper functions as a primary record of a nation in the midst of a profound identity crisis, caught between the hope of "exalted policy" through reconciliation and the inevitable momentum of total war.
