HISTORY

WESTCHESTER

COUNTY

Zenger's lawyer. No other attitude was to have been expected, however, of New York City, with its largely preponderant element of tradespeople and other plain citizens, who were substantially united in opposition to offensive manifestations of power. But in Westchester County, dominated to so great an extent by conservative landlords, the case was widely different. In this county the real battle was fought and won, determining unmistakably the existence of a decisive majority against royal oppression among the people of the province at large. Nothing is more interesting in connection with the Westchester electoral contest of 1733 than the fact that the lines of local division upon which it was fought were precisely the ones that divided the rival Whig and Loyalist factions of the county when they came to make their trial of strength forty years later on the issue of co-operation or non-co-operation with the general cause of the American colonies. At the historic meeting of the freeholders of Westchester County held at White Plains on the 11th of April, 1775, the contending parties were again led by the heads of the Morris and Philipse families -- Lewis Morris, 3d, grandson of the chief justice, and Frederick Philipse, 3d, son of the Judge Philipse of Cosby's Court of Chancery.
