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. And the result was the same as on the first occasion-- a complete triumph for the Morris party, representing, as before, the principle of non-obedience to objectionable government. Lewis Morris, the deposed chief justice, upon re-entering the assembly became at once the leader of the popular forces in that body. It being decided to send a representative to England to inform the home government of Cosby's bad acts, and if possible get him recalled, Morris was selected to go on that errand. He made the journey in 1731, duly laid the grievances of the colonists before the privy council, and procured a. decision pronouncing the grounds of his own removal from the chief justiceship inadequate, but received no further satisfaction. Soon afterward, in 1736, Cosby died. Morris, upon his return to America, was very warmly greeted by the people. Notwithstanding his prominent connection with the events whose history we have traced, and in spite of the comparative failure ol his mission to England, he retained the friendship and appreciation of influential men at the British court, and was, in 1738, appointed colonial governor of New Jersey, a position which he continued to hold until his death, May 21, 171(3.
