1 Protest of the Tuhabitavts and Freeholders of Westchesfer-countij, Xeir- Torh, "CorNTY or Westchesteb, April 13, 1775," published in liivington' s New-York Gazetteer, No. 105, New York, Thursday, April 20, 1775; and in Gaine's New-Y'/rk Gazette : and the Weekly Mercury, No. 1227, New York, Monday, .^pril 17, 1775.

We have been favored by our unwearied friends, Hon. Lewis C. Piatt and Hon. J. 0. Dyknian with information, concerning these two Taverns, which our reader-s will find worthy of their remembrance.

Captain Hatfield's Tavern stood almost clue South from the old Courthouse, and nearly half a mile distant, on the North side of the OLD stageroad to New York, -- the line of that road has boon changed, since 1775 -- on property more recently owned by Samuel E. Lyon, Esq., and now by the heirs of the late Alfred Waller, Esq.

The old building has been removed from the place on which it stood, in 1775, to a place, further to the northward, not far from the site of the old Court-house ; ami is now occupied as a tenement.

Isaac Oakley's Tavern stood on the East side of the old stage-road.

It is evident that neither of the two factions was very punctual in its attendance, at the appointed hour -- a practice which is continued to this day, in Westchester-county, on similar occasions -- and, for a reason which was perfectly obvious, the promoters of the proposed Meeting, very evidently, were not in a hurry to assume the great responsibility of carrying forward the schemes of the revolutionary faction in the City of New York, to which they had been invited, especially in view of the greater number of those who were opposed to those schemes, and who were present and apparently prepared to oppose them ; while those who were opposed to the Morrises and to their schemes and to the proposed election, and whose evidently superior numbers had served to dampen the ardor of their opponents, could do nothing else than to wait, and to watch the progress of events.
