"After the business of the day was thus concluded, " the people gave three Huzzas for our gracious "Sovereign and dispersed quickly ' without the least " disorder.

"Lewis Morris, Chairman." '

In the proceedings of the revolutionary faction, after its Meeting was organized, probably because of a consciousness of its own relative weakness within the County, there was an evident attempt to ajipear, at least, to be fair and honest in whatever was said or done -- no personalities or harsh words, of any kind, appear to have been used against those who entered its Meeting, and respectfully protested against the organization and doings and purposes of that Meeting ; the County, as such, was not referred to, in either of the two Resolutions which were adopted, the thanks of nothing else than those who were then present and voting having been voted to the minority of the General Assembly, while an obligation then due to the Continental Congress, which rested on the entire country, if that Meeting was not misinformed, was simply recognized by it, without an attempt being made for the liquidation of even its own portion of the debt -- it gave its thanks to the minority of the Colonial Assembly ; but it had no thanks to spare for the Continental Congress ; -- no attempt was made, then or afterwards, to exult over the results ot the Meeting ; the narrative written by the Chairman of the Meeting continued that commendable courtesy ; and, the principal purpose of the Meeting, if not its only purpose, the restoration of the Morris family to the political life from which it liad been excluded, having been accomplished, the peace of the Cr>unty, for the present, was not further disturbed ; although it is scarcely possible that every one continued, thenceforth, to regard all his neighbors with the same friendly feelings which had bound them together, during the past.
