Like the similar Meeting, at Eye, this Meeting also waited, apparently without adjourning, until its Committee was formally organized, by the appointment of James Ferris, Esq., as its Chairman, and while that Committee considered the various political questions of the period -- " the very alarming Situation of their suffering Brethren, at Boston, occa- " sioned by the late unconstitutional, arbitrary, and "oppressive Act of the British- Parliament, for " blocking up their Port, as well as the several Acts " imposing Taxes on the Colonies, in order to raise a "Revenue in America" -- and had prepared the following Resolutions expressive of the result of its deliberations on those very grave questions :

" First, Resolved, That we do and will bear true " Allegiance to His Majesty, George the Third, King " of Great Britain, &c, according to the British " Constitution.

" Second, That we coincide in opinion with our " friends of New York and of every other Colony, " that all Acts of the British Parliament, imposing " Taxes on the Colonies, without their Consent, or by " their Representative, are arbitrary and oppressive, " and should meet the abhorrence and detesta- " tion of all good men ; That they are replete with " the purpose of creating Animosities and Dissensions " between the Mother Country and the Colonies ; " and thereby tend to destroy that Harmony and " mutual Agreement which it is so much the Interest " of both, to Cherish and Maintain.
