History of Westchester County, New York, Vol. I
" Whether you are determined to abide by the " loyal and judicious measures already taken by your " own worthy representatives in the general assembly " of this province, for a redress of American grievances?
"The conse(]uences that may arise from your ne- "glecting to attend at the White Plains, on Tuesday "next, to declare your sentiments relative to the ap- "pointment of deputies to meet in Provincial Con- "gress, may be very fatal to this county; the friends " of goverment, and our happy constitution, are there- " fore earnestly invited in person, to oj)pose a measure "so replete with ruin and misery. Remember the " extravagant ])rice we are now obliged to pay for "goods purchased of the merchants, in consequence "of the Non-Imj)ortation agreement; and when the " NON-EXPORTATION agreement takes place, we " shall be in the situation of those who were obliged " to make bricks without straw.
" A WHITE OAK."'
- "A Correspondent aciiuaints us. That, on Monday the 3d of March, "the Inhabitants of the Borough of Westchester met, in Consequence of " a Summons, to give their Sentiments upon a Qiiesti ^n, whether or not "they would choose Deputies to represent them at a Provincial Conveu- " tiou in this City ; when they declared themselves already very ably "and efleotually repre>iented in the General Assembly of this Province, "by Isaac Wilkins, E8(|uire ;* peremptorily disowned aH'Cougrossional "Conventions and Committees, most loyally repeating the old Chonis, " (iod save the King, which was seconded by three heaity Cheers ; and '• then the jolly Freeholders and Inhabitants spent the Day with great " Hilarity and good Humour over their Tankards and Bowls."-- (Oaine's Xt'W'York iliizettf, anil the Week-li/ Mercurif^ No. 12'JG, New-Yobk, JIon<lay, April 10, 177ii.)
