" The consequences that may arise from your ne- " glecting to attend at the White Plains, on Tuesday " next, to declare your sentiments relative to the ap- " pointment of deputies to meet in Provincial Con- " gress, may be very fatal to this county ; the friends " of goverment, and our happy constitution, are there- " fore earnestly invited in person, to oppose a measure " so replete with ruin and misery. Remember the " extravagant price we are now obliged to pay for " goods purchased of the merchants, in consequence "of the Non-Importation agreement; and when the " NON-EXPORTATION agreement takes place, we " shall be in the situation of those who were obliged "to make bricks without straw.

" A WHITE OAK." 3

2 "A Correspondent acquaints us, That, on Monday the 3d of March, "the Inhabitants of the Borough of Westchester met, in Consequence of " a Summons, to give their Sentiments upon a Question, whether or not "they would choose Deputies to represent them at a Provincial Conven- "tion in this City; when they declared themselves already very ably "and effectually represented in the General Assembly of this Province, "by Isaac Wilkins, Esquire ;* peremptorily disowned all Congressional " Conventions and Committees, most loyally repeating the old Chorus, " God save the King, which was seconded by three hearty Cheers ; and " then the jolly Freeholders and Inhabitants spent the Day with great " Hilarity and good Humour over their Tankards and Bowls."-- (Gaine's New-York Gazette, and the Weekly Mercury, No. 1226, New-York, Monday, April 10, 1775.)
