He said of the Meeting at the Coffee-house, " and the nomination of the Committee was accepted, even with the addition of Isaac "Low as its Chairman, who was mure of a loyalist than a patriot;" although, in fact, Isaac Low's name was on the list which had been nominated at the Caucus, against which no opposition was made ; and the only "addition" which was made by the Meeting was that of Francis Lewis, whose name had been included on the original list of the minority, and rejected by the Caucus. The Meeting at the Coffee-house made no attempt to supply the Committee of Fifty-one with a Chairman, in the person of Isaac Low, as Bancroft has Btated : Isaac Low was called to that place by the Committee itself, at its first Meeting, on Monday, May 23, as its Minutes abundantly prove. Doctor Sparks, (Life of Gouverneur Morris, i., 22,) merged the doings of the Caucus and the Meeting at the Coffee-house, into one mass ; made Isaac Sears the master spirit of all that was done ; and said " the Committee consisted of "a nearly equal number of both parties, but with a preponderance on ** the liberal side;" although the truth was, the friends the Home Government took no part whatever, in either of those meetings ; that both were composed of only those who opposed the Home Government ; that the struggle, in each of the two assemblages, was between conflicting factions of the latter party ; that, in both, the faction of tho aristocratic conservative element of the party outvoted and defeated the faction representing, or pretending to represent, the unfranchised masses ; that the Committee contained a large proportion of those who belonged, at that time, to the aristocratic conservative faction of the party ; and that it is not known, nor is it supposed, that a single person was named on the Committee, who waB not, at that time, opposed to the Colonial policy of the Home Government.
