SiE :-- A number of persons from different districts in the county of Wes-tchester, having thi.=; day met at the White Piains, to consider of the most projxr method of taking the sense of the freeholders of the said county, upon the expedieucy of choosing deputies to meet the deputies of other counties, for the purpose of electing delegates to represent this colony in the General Congress to be held in Pluladelphia, on the 10th day of jMay next, are of opinion tliat the best way of proceeding for that purpose, will be to have a general meeting of the freeholders of said county. As this county is very e.vtensive, we take the liberty of recommending the meeting to be held at the White Plains, on Tuesday, the 11th day of April next, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, at the Court Hume, and therefore do desire you to give notice of the same to all the freeholders in your district, without exception, as those who do not appear to vote on that day will be presumed to acquiesce in the sentiments of the majority of those who vote.
