Like the similar Meeting, at Rye, this Meeting also waited, apparently without adjourning, until its Committee was formally organized, by the ai)i)ointnient of James Ferris, Esq., as its Chairman, and while that Committee considered the various political questions of the period -- ''the very alarming Situa- " tion of their sufi'ering Brethren, at Boston, occa- "siouedby the late unconstitutional, arbitrary, and "oppressive Act of the British Parliament, for '■ blocking up their Port, as well as the several Acts " imposing Taxes on the Colonies, in order to raise a " Revenue in America " -- and had prepared the following Resolutions expressive of the result of its deliberations on those very grave questions:

FiKST, Resolved, That we do and will bear true " Allegiance to His Majesty, George the Third, King " of Great Britain, &c., according to the British " Constitution.

"Second, That we coincide in opinion with our " friends of New York and of every other Colony, " that all Acts of the British Parliament, imposing '• Taxes on the Colonies, without their Consent, or by " their Representative, are arbitrary and oppressive, " and should meet the abhorrence and detesta- " tion of all good men ; That they are replete with " the purpose of creating Animosities and Dissensions "between the Mother Country and the Colonies; '■ and thereby tend to destroy that Harmony and " mutual Agreement which it is so much the Interest "of both, to Cherish and Maintain.

" Third, That we esteem it our Duty, and think it " incumbent on all the Colonies in America, to con- " tribute towards the Relief of the poor and distressed " People of Boston ; and that a Person of this Bor- "ough be appointed to collect such charitable Dona- " tions, within the same, as may be offered for their " Support.
