Having thus disposed of the main question, apparently to its entire satisfaction, the Committee then proceeded to nominate, by ballot, eleven persons, "for the Approbation of the Freemen " and Freeholders, for the City and County of New " York, to serve as Deputies to meet such other Dep- "uties as may be appointed by the remaining " Counties in this Province, for the sole Purpose of " electing out of their Body, Delegates for the next " Congress ; " and the choice of the Committee fell on Isaac Low, Philip Livingston, James Duane, John Alsop, John Jay, Leonard Lispenard, Abraham Walton, Francis Lewis, Isaac Roosevelt, Alexander McDougal, and Abraham Brasher,'^ notwithstanding Isaac Low had i)reviously " desired a Friend that in " Case he should be put on the Nomination, to de- " clare, in his Behalf, that he should be under the dis- " agreeable Necessity of Dissenting."
