" Resolved : That the thanks of this country is " due to the Delegates who composed the late Con- " gress, for the essential services they have rendered " to America, in general; and that this Resolve be " forthwith published."

We are told, also, by the Chairman of the Meeting, that, "after the business of the day was thus con- " eluded, the people gave three huzzas for our gra- " cious Sovereign,-' and dispersed, quickly, without the " least disorder."

■ As Jonathan Piatt and Colonel Holmes did not accept the appointment, and as only six took tlioir seats in the Convention, the majority which was necessary to cast the vote of tlie County was reduced to four ; and, thus, the control of the Delegation was retained by those who went from Westchester, Eastchester, and Rye.

-The practice of all, at that period and subsequently, on all such occasions as that referred to in the text, will sufficiently indicate to the reader, that the enthusiasm for the King which was displayed, as mnch by one faction as by the other, at the White Plains, on that eventful April day, was clue quite as much to what had been drunk at the two Taverns, before eithi-r of those factions had gone to the Courthouse, as to the love for the King which either of them really possessed. But the Chairman of the Meeting kindly furuished conclusive evidence on the Bubject, when he wrote, •' much pains, I confess, were, on that day, ■' taken, to make temporary enthusiasts, and with other more crhUaru- " ting spirit than the spirit of loyalty." -- (/.en is 3Iorris In llie Piihlick, "MoRRiSANiA, May 7, 1775.")
