^imfbury, at the usual Place of holding Public Meet
■ ings in said Prun, on Phurfday, the i \th Day of Au

HEZEKIAH HUMPHRY, Esq;
Was chosen Moderator of said Meeeting.
’^"'HIS Meeting taking into Consideration the
X ' unhappy Difference and Contention arisen
between the Britilh Miniitry, and the Province of
the MafTachufetts-Bay, cfpecially the arbitrary
proceedings against the town of Burton, by the act
called the Bolton -Oort-bill, and an armed force block
ing up their harbour, and Hoping their trade
and confidcring our near connedions with said pro
w vince, and how much our trade and intereJi is affec
_ ted thereby, do judge our fclves loudly called upon
to make the following declarations and resolves, viz.
That the charter privilges granted to this colony
by King CHARLES 11. and transmitted to us by
©ur virtuous predeccffors, who ventured their lives,
and fortunes, and every enjoyment to acquire, we
esteem as our birth-right, sacred to ourselves, and
our posterity, and that none has a right to disturb us
in the enjoyment of them : which priviledges we
are determined to hold, and transmit to the gene
rations to come, against all opposition whatsoever.
That as faithful and loyal subjects of his Britan
nic Majesty, King GEORGE 111. we are ready to
contribute eonftitutionally, for the support of his roy
al person, & government, accerding to our ability ;
yet nevertheless We judge the Parliament of Great-
Britain, has no legal right to lay taxes, or duties,
on our persons or properties without our consent.
Therefore, We resolve that our brethren and
friends at Boston, are now Buffering under the pruel
hand of oppreffiori, and arbitrary government, in
having been condemned unheard, contrary toA^wa
Chart a, and the royal charter that had been granted
to said province.- We therefore, from a tender
feeling for the poor inhabitants of that great town
cf Boston, do judge it our duty to contribute of our
substance for their relief, under their present
Bufferings.
1* 111 taei more this meeting concur, and approve of
a general congress of delegates from the several co
lonies and plantations in North-America, to be con
vened at Philadelphia in September next, agreeable
to the resolves of several towns already publilhed,
relatiag to a non-importation agreement, from
Great-Britain, &c.—-We likewise concur with our
neighbouring towns that a harmony, and correfpon
deace .be propagated and maintained between the
several towns in this and the neighbouring colonies,
for their mutual advice and assistance, as occasion
Ihall call for.- Therefore, Col. Jonathan Pettibone,
John Owen, Esq; Col. Jonathan Humphry, Judah
Holcomb, Esq; Mr. Joel Hays, Mr. Afael Holcomb,
Mr. Ezekiel Phelps, Oliver Humphry, Esq; and
Capt. Amos Wilcocks,are chosen to be a committee
of correspondence, for the purpose aforefaid.
This meeting further resolve, That a fubferipti
on be speedily opened for all well disposed perlons
to Ihew their readiness to contribute for the relief of
the poor distressed inhabitants of Boston, in such ar
ticles as each fubferiber Ihall judge proper,and their
circumstances will belt admit of.—--And the afore
named gentlemen, the committee of correspondence,
are chosen a committee to open and encourage and
take in said fublcriptions, and the said committee
are to receive said donations, and to transmit "the
fame to the feleft-men, of the town of Boston, or ta
such other person or persons, as said town Ihall ap

proved for the purpose aforefaid.
