The following persons, not being able to attend at the Plains, requested by their friends that their names might be added to the list of protestors, viz.: --
John Hunt, Esq., Jeremiah Hitchcock,
Philip Palmer, Esq., William Bond,
John Hitchcock, Joseph Bond.
The foregoing account is strictly true, as can bo proven by the tostiniony (or, if necessary, by the affidavits), of a number of persons of the most unquestionable character in this county. Yv'hat, then, must we think of such persons as have propagated a report that the friends of governnieut w-ere, upon this occasion, outnumbered five to one; and that many of the persons whose names were subscribed to the foregoing declaration, were not on that day present at the White Plains? They must be conscious to themselves that they have spread abroad a falseliood. and they are hereby called upon, if they dare, to set their names to those assertions. In what manner those gentlemen who chose the committee at the Plains proceeded, we cannot positively say; but this we can declare with truth, that we do not believe they can produce to the public the names of a hundred and tifty persons who voted for a committee that day, and we are surely persimded that they did their utmost to make their party as numerous a's possible,
