0, Ever, bod, kn&ws that the North Eaflern parts oftbegro-;
wire ofNevu-rork including the Counties of Cumberland, Gloucef- ,
ter and Charlotte, thought the, were as juftifable in cafling off the
tyranny of the Republicans, etc they could be in revolting agamjl
Great-Britain; and for this purpose the inhabitants called the
country the fate of VERMONT, on the istb of January 1777,
and set up a Governour, Council and Assembly.
It is not possible to reconcile this project with the views and
interest of the proprietors, who bear fwa, in the republick of
New-Yorky ana accordingly their High Mightineffes^ at Phila-
Zefohta, bale hitherto debated upon the question, which to Aif
©blige—the mob fate of New-York under Mr. Governor George
Clinton, or Mr. Governour Thomas Chittenden, and his Fer
monteers? ,
However perplexed the decifon upon the great scale pt policy
and patriotism, private intereJl nevertheless with its usual fa
oacity, fees no reason why it foould not take care of itfelf, and
thefollowing letters, intercepted in the late Rebel Mail, may serve
among a thousand other proofs to shew a cheated multitude, that
whatever becomes of the common interest. their leaders never
lose fight Of their own. But how Dr. Witberfpoon acquired toe
great credit in Vermont, to make bis patronage nectary to Mr.
Liniingfon, is a m,fiery; as well as the way by which the Doffors
rooting on the disputed quefions refpeßing Vermont in Congress,
can be reconciled to d clean confidence, until bis interefed connexions
with Mr. Chittenden are d'ffolved.
Dear Sir, Arlington, March 13th, 1781.
XTOUR favour of the 4th of December, I received the 18th
I of January lift, and have waited for the rising of our
Jaft Assembly (as I hadfome hopes of doing something at that
time for Governotir Livingston, with regard to reserving a
part of Royalton for him) before I wrote, and finding that to
bedtill uncertain, I have put several principal gentlemen of
this State in mind of doing something for that worthy gen
tleman, by way, of an equivalent, (if Royalton mould fail)
which 1 make no doubt will be done 011 his application to the
Legislature ; the footer he applies the better, as the most
, valuable ungranted land will be granted before long.
I have procured a grant of a tradt of land near Barnit, in
which I have inserted the three persons whole names you gave
•arte; the granting fees is eight pound ten shillings for each
right, which contains 320 acres; mould be glad to know
jfhall convert some part of the produce of your Cavendish
land to answer the fame. .
There has been so much land granted lately, that land has
^6t risen of late, so that I do not think your land in Cavendish,
will fell for more than one dollar and a half per acre. I mail
not recommend to you to fell without pay down, as the land
will fell for three dollars per acre, directly after the war
is over.; ~.
If you mould chufe to have me fell some part of said land
at one dollar and an half per acre, you will please to acquaint
,ir.c of it ; and. also if the c.ounterfigned money will answer,
2nd at what. rate. , ~
I am very glad to. find that you are in Congress, and hope
through your means (who know the situation and people of
-this country) that honourable body will be made to fee and
"ad what mail be most for the interest of America with regard
to Vermont, before it be too late. I can assure you we are
not iefting when we fay, why mould we spend our blood and
treasure to support the Independence of other States,- and
thereby enable them to fubjed and make vassals of ourselves
and posterity ? • ,'.
We' hafcreafon to apprehend that the British exertions from
Canada this campaign, will be greater than any time ever
since 1777; we, have ptetty good magazines of provision, &c.
'toe regiment almost compleatcd, containing seven hundred,
- another about to be raised, which we view to be inadequate
s td the force expected to come against us ; you may depend on
ft#the fame time that the British are courting Vermont,
^'^otwithftanding all the many provocations, no Tory plans
&e crawled into the councils of Vermont, but in all viciffi
ft^, and whatsoever part we may be constrained to ad, we
shall ever remain real Whigs. I am, Sir, with refped, your
most obedient servant, MATTHEW LYON.
~Q $. I have just been informed that Peacham has been at
tacked by the enemy, and a number of the inhabitants made
brifoners; T have not heard the particulars, but am much
concerned for Barnit and Reggate. M. L.

Member of Congress, Philadelphia.
Dear Sir, Hampton Falls, March 19, 1781.
OUR affairs refpe&ing Vermont, and the western parts of
this State, are daily more and more perplexed and diffi
cult. A considerable number of towns in the counties of Graf
ton and Cheshire, at a convention, have entered into an agree
ment with the Affembly'of Vermont to join with them, and
have renounced the jurisdiction of New-Hampshire. How far
this may extend, I am unable to fay ; but at present all things
in that quarter are in confufidn. lam not favoured with the
articles of their agreement, so cannot fend you a copy of them.
Our General Assembly met on Wednesday last, and have these
matters now Under consideration. I am, with much esteem
and refpe&, your obedient humble fervant,^ wpare
hlatyr General Sullivan. §
nDEAR Sir, Arlington, January 30, ,81^
TtMTH pleasure I received yours of the 4th ult. and could
. VV" with that your felicitation in favour of Governotir Li
mngfton, might have its desired effect. The identical township
of Royalton was grapted to a considerable number of inhabi
tants,' then on the premises ; they have not vet paid the pur
chase money by reason of the town's being destroyed last tall
by tories and savages, and several of them killed, and. above
twenty Captivated.* ~
Possibly there will be an opportunity for Governour Living
ftonffrhen the charter is made out, to secure his flhare of the
town,? but if not, I presume that the Governour s character is
so dear to the inhabitants of this state, in consequence of his
publick spirit in the present war, that the legislature will con
rider him in an equivalent grant of other unappropriated lands.
If the Governour is desirous of having any thing done about
it, the sooner he applies the better. I flhall use my influence in
his behalf, as will "sundry. other gentleman whom I have con
veffed with on the fubjefh
I congratulate Col. Atlee and yourfelf on your late delegate
on to Congress ; you. will not forget my compliments to that
gentleman, and bear in mind that Vermont experts to be re
ceivedinto the union before the campaign opens, which will
be very soon. I am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant,
%,THOS. CHITTENDEN.
