Peter Clowes wns said to have represented " Goshen Precinct in Orange- "county;" but the ('redentiuls which were filed from Orange-county declared that <«'" Delegates should bo required to represent that County; and that only when one such Delegate should appear in the Congress from "the North side of the Mountains" [(Ac Uighlundu] and one from the " South side " of those Highlands -- Orange county, at that time, including what, now, is Rocklaud-county - should that Delegation be complete and authorized to represent the County. As there was only one, instead of two, Delegates ; and because those Towns which were below the Highlaruds were entirely without a representative, there was no Delegation from Orange-county, in the Congress.

Thomas Palmer and Moses Caiitine w ere the only Delegates, out of the seven who had been elected, and who were piesent, to represent Ulstercounty ; but those who had elected them and given to them all the authority which it was Siiid they possessed, had declared that three of those seven should be required to constitute a duly authorized Delegation from that County. The two, therefore, left Ulster-county without a competent Delegation.
