In the same connection, Joseph Galloway, when he was examined before the House of Conmions, testified, that "I don't think that one-fifth "part have, from principle and choice, supported the present Rebellion.' * * * " The last Delegation to Congress, made by the Province of " Pennsylvania, and the appointment of all the Olflcers of that State, was "made by less than two hundred Votci's, although there are at least "thirty thousand men intitled to Vote, by tho Laws of the Province. "One instance more I beg leave to give. One of the Delegates from the " Province of New York, (with whom I sat in Congress in 17i4J repre- "senting a considerable District in that Province, was chosen by himself "and his clerk only, and that clerk certified to tlie Congress tliat lie was "unanimously appointed ! " In a foot-note to tliis portion of that testimony, Galloway added : " The people of Kings County so much disap- " proved of the sending any Members to the Congress, that, although " due notice was given of the time and place of Election, only two of "them met: Mr. Simon Boerum appointed his friend Clerk, and the "Clerk appointed Mr. Boerum a Delegate in Congress, who was the only "Representative for that large County." -- (Exuminatim, UJune, 1779 -- Tile Examination of Joseph Galloway^ Esq., before the Houne of Commons, London : 1779, 10, 11.)
