The committee that was chosen, may, with some kind of propriety, be ioid to represent those particular persons who chose them ; but how they can be denominated the Representatives of the County of Westchester, who, in general ftblior committees and committee men, and are determined to take no steps that laay lead them into rebellion, we cannot conceive ; certainly the friends to gov eminent who were collected at Captain Hatfield's, had a better right from their Lumber to determine that there should be no committee than the opposite party Lad to appoint one, and might with much greater propriety be said to show the St use of the County than the few who acted without authority and in direct opposition to government, and to the determinations of our worthy Assembly ; and we doubt not but the impartial public will consider the matter in this light, and not esteem the act of a few individuals, unlawfully assembled, as the act (which most assuredly is not), of the very respectable, populous, and Loyal County of Westchester."

In answer to the above protest, occurs the following letter froin Lewis Moiris, addressed "to the public:" --
