On the above occasion the resolutions of the con
grels were publickly read, after which Justice Hewitt
exerted himfclf with that prudence and firmnefs be
coming a magistrate, by arguing the impropriety and
illegality of Inch meetings, in so masterly a manner,
as to have the necessary and desired effect, of prevent
ing any business being done, till the legal day of call
ing a Town Meeting, which will be on the firft
Tuesday in April next.
Had all the civil officers exerted themselves as this
friend to liberty and good order has done, our un
happy disputes would doubtless have been in a fair
way of terminating more to the advantage of this
apparently difra&ed country. A SPECTATOR.
^een's-County, Tburfdaj, igth Dec. 1774.
ill a meeting of the Committee chosen by the Freeholders
of tbe To^nJhip of Newtown, the said Committee
came into tbe following Resolutions, viz.
rt^HAT this Committee having taken into their inoft
£ feriotis and deliberate confederation, tbe conferen
ces that must evidently flow from tbe federal alls of tbe
Britijb parliament, being eflablijbed and carried into
execution in order to raise a revenue in America ;
likewise that of having power to bind the people of tbe
colonies, bv fiatute, in all cases whatsoever, that of
extending the limits of tbe Admiralty courts, whereby
toe judges of said courts are impowered to receive
their salaries andfees, from effects to be condemned by
themselves, and bis Majefy's American fubjeEts de
prived of their right and trial by jury ; that of requiring
oppreffife security from tbe claimants of fbips or goods
seized, before they fball be allowed to defend their
property ; that of impowering commissioners of tbe
customs, to break and enter boufes without tbe authority
of any civil magistrate ; that of flopping tbe port of
Boson and changing theform of government in Maffa
cbufetts-Bay, and the Quebec bill ; all of which as
appears to us, are intended absolutely to deprive bis
Majefy's mos dutiful and loyal fubjedls, inhabitants of
tbe ' American colonies, of their most inefimable rights
and privileges, by subjugating them to tbe Britijb
parliament, and driving them to tbe dire necessity of
submitting to have their property taken from them
without their consent; which we conceive as one of the
snoji deplorable fixations to which a free people can be
reduced, and absolutely repugnant to tbe confitution of
Great-Britain, "Therefore,
Resolved, Firfi, That we conJider it as our greatest
bappinefs and glory, to be governed by the illujirious
boufe of Hanover, and that we acknowledge and bear
true and faithful allegiance to king George tbe third, as
our rightful Sovereign, and under bis protection, have
a right to enjoy tbe privileges of tbe confitution of
Great-Britain, as founded on tbe revolution principles,
in as full and ample a manner as our fellow fubjeHs
raiding there ; that we conjider ourselves one people,
connected by tbe frongef ties of interef and affection,
and that we lament as pur greatest misfortune, any
occurrence which fball have a tendency to defray that
mutual confidence which tbe mother country and her
colonies Jbould repose in each other.
Refolded, Second, That we conceive it to be a
fi&idamental part of tbe Britijb constitution, that a man
fball have tbe diftofal of bis own property, either by
bimfelj or reprefatatife ; and as we are not, and
from our local circumflanccs, cannot be represented in
parliament, we coffder all aCts by them, imposing
taxes on tbe colonies, as fubverfae of one of tbe most
valuable privileges of tbe Englifo constitution, and
having a direct tendency to alienate tbe affeCtions of tbe
colonelsfrom their parent fate.
Refolded, Thirdly, That it is our indifpenfible duty,
to 0 anfmit unimpaired to poferity, all our mos valuable
rights and privileges as we received them from our
anchors, particularly that most ineflimable right, of
difpofng of our own property, either by ourselves or
representatives.
Refolded, Fourthly, That as some mode of opposition
to acts of parliament, impojing taxes in America, has
been, by tbe inhabitants of tbe different colonies on this
continent thought necefary, to secure their invaded
rights and properties ; which mode has been left to the
determination of tbe delegates, sent by each colony, and
met in congress, at Philadelphia in September last ;
they having, among other articles of their association,
recommended, that a committee be chosen in every
county, city, and town, wbofe business it Jbould be to
obferveibe. conduA of all perfens touchingfaid association,
and as.we are willing to efablifh harmony and union,
we will", so far as our influence extends, endeavour
that tbe measures adopted and recommended by said
Congress, be frilly adhered to in this town.
Refolded, Fifthly, As we highly approve of the
wife, prudent, 'and confitutional mode of oppoftion;
adopted by our worthy Delegates in General Congress,
to the federal late'tyrannical and oppressive a&s of tbe
Britijb Parliament, we therefore render our most
fuicere and bear) thanks to thofegentlemen, for their
patriotic spirit, in so cheerfully undertaking the difficult
and arduous task, for tbeir faithjAnefs in 'council, and
great wisdom, in drawing concisions, which through
tie influence of divine providence, we trufi, will be
the means of securing to us, our liberties and privileges
as free born Englijbme% and again refore harmony
and confidence throughout the Britijb empire, which is
the hearty wijb of all tbe friends to Liberty, and foes to
Oppreflion. Signed by order of the Committee,
Jacob Blackwell, Chairman.
A toe thought it would be agreeable to our readers to know
the particulars of what has paged in this city, free tie
seizure of arms, ISc. lately made at this port, for want
of Coctets ; we have been at pains to collett the follow
ing f a -''> Tubicb may be depended upon.
AS fu<n as the seizure was made, the ten cases and
three boxes were carried to the Cuftom-Hcufe, and
the barrel.of powder ordered to the Powder-House.—On
the way, some people appeared and carried it off from the
Waiter who had it in charge ;— this being reported at the
Cuftom-Houte, the Collector immediately went to the
Coffee-Houfe, and informed the merchants present, of
the refeue, which they highly disapproved of ;--proper steps
were immediately taken, and in a few hours the powder
was lodged in the Powder-House :--to prevent any such
attempts in future that might disturb the city, the boxes
and cases were sent on board the man of war.
Some days after this removal of the arms, &c. the
ColleHor received from the Poll-Office the following
Letter: New-York, December 27th, 1774.
Mr. ELLIOT,
SIR,
A Number of fire-arms of British manufacture, legally
imported, having been lately seized by your orders
ana conveyed on board the man of war, by which arbi
trary step you have declared yourfelf an inveterate enemy
to the liberties of North-America ; in this light we view
you, and from you we ihall demand these arms whenever
wanted, which is probable will be soon. You will there
fore, it you have the lerft regard to the fafety of your
felt or your servants, who seized them, be careful to
prevent their being sent away, as you may de end upon
answering for a contrary conduct with a vengeance.—We
thought that your former genteel conduct in your de
partment, intitlcd you t> this notice, otherwise we ffiould
have been fihnt till a proper opportunity had offered, in
which we might have done our country justice, by
wreaking our resentment on you in a private manner :
Do no r f got this admonition or treat it as a vain menace,
for we have most folpmnly sworn to a'reft it sooner or
later, and you know that our nation are implacable, we
Mr. Gaine,
ONCE more Holt has adventured to vindicate
himfelf with his ulual Success ; and what he
has written may be justly called, An Ejaj on one's

when every Heart beats with Anxiety for the Fate
of this Country, almost three Columns of his Paper
are filled with a tedious, heavy, and dilgufting Pa
negyric on his own Merit, and full fraught with the
molt glaring Absurdities and Contradi&ions. Every
Sentence is a Proof of this. Take one Instance as
a Specimen of the Rest- He asserts the Infatuation
that his Press is partial, to be groundless ; and yet inthe
fame Breath as that no Pieces are inlertec |in his Paper
but such as tally with bis own Opinion ! Can there be,
a grosser Attempt to impose upon Mankind than
this ? Or greater Affrontery than to appropriate to
himfelf that Praile which is only due to those Printers
who give both Sides of the Question ? He seems
anxious to wipe off the Imputation of Insanity, with
which sensible People have charged him ; but with
the fame Effe& as when a Person intoxicated affe&s
to be wonderous wife, which only serves to convince
every sober By-ttander of his Intoxication. The
Suspicion of his Confederacy with Ecclehaftes, stands
exactly in .the fame Predicament. I have little Time
to bettow on the Reveries of this poor Creature, when
my Country is bleeding under the Hands of political
Quacks, whole Mal-treatment threatens her witli
Ruin. But had I ever so much Leisure, I could
promise myfelf little Honour by triumphing over
such an Antagonist. Tread a Worm in the Dirt—
the nahy Thing is neither lower or dirtier than it was
before. The Memoirs of this fame frantic Repub

hasten them, or else he will be before-hand with me,
and prove himfelf to be one of the greatef Curiosities
in this Western World.

would not have you to imagine that it is in the power of
any set of men, either civil or military to protest or
Shield you from our just revenge, which will be soon
done ; and in such a manner as not to be known till it is
fatally experienced by you."
From tbe Mohanuks and River Indians.
The above was immediately copied and sent to the
CoTee-Houfe, where it was patted up, together with the
Co'leaor's answer, viz.
The original, of which the above is a copy, Mr. Elliott
this morning received, from the Poff-Office; he is
obliged to answer it in this public manner, being entirely
unacquainted with the author.
" H /,'• Elliot calls upon the person to appear, that
IA . can i n an y instance accute him of having a&ed
either arbitrarily or illegally in his office, that he may
have an opportunity of answering him properly.
“ If the letter is wrote with a view to deter an officer
from his duty, Mr. Elliot assures the writer, that as long
as he has the honour to a& as Collector of the port of
New-York, he will exert the' fame attention and firm
nefs, that has for ten years past, enabled _him to give
fatisfaftion to his superiors in office, and to live happily
among the inhabitants of this city.
ANDREW ELLIOT."
At the Coffee-Houle the letter was by all disavowed,
and greatly disapproved of: The Collector's manner of
treating it, met with the highest approbation, notwith
standing which that vary night the following printed
hand-bill was fecrctly conveyed into almost every house
in town.
Early next morning a number of the principal mer
chants assembled, waited on the Collector of the Custom-
House, and assured him of their intention to support him
in the legal execution of his duty.
They then accompanied him to the Coffee-Houfe,
where he was met by numbers of the inhabitants of all
ranks (among whom was a number of masters of ships,
with their men) who appeared with readiness, to shew
how much they esteemed the Collector as a just and
good officer.
Some gentlemen then called upon the authors of the
letter and band-bill to appear, or any other person, and
accuse the Collector 01 having, in any instance acted
either arbitrarily or illegally; that the writing such let
ters, or disturbing officers in their duty, must be ab
horred by all men that wish the support of civil govern
ment and good order : that in the present case it appeared
the Collector had done nothing but his duty, and that it
was therefore incumbent on the inhabitants to support him.
The jufinels of this propufal, and the inclination of
the people present to adopt it, was instantly teftified by
three cheers.---The Collector then hepped forward, po
litely thanked the audience for their kind attention on
this occasion ; alluring them that nothing could be more
pieafing to him than this public testimony of their appro
bation, both as a fellow citizen, and as an officer of
government; at the fame time declaring his intention
of steadily adhering to his former conduct.
“ Some people may endeavour to persuade you, that it
would be improper to call upon the Collector in such a
way, on account of his former polite behaviour to the
mercantile body, but this objection has not the least
weight in it, as he has ffiewn himfelf inimical to the
liberties of America, and has therefore cancelled every
obligation."
To the Inhabitants of NEW-YORK.
My dear Friends and Fellow Citizens,
AT a time when slavery is clanking her infernal
chains, and tyranny hands ready with goads and
whips to enforce obedience to her despotic and cruel
mandates; when oppression, with gigantic strides is ap
proaching your once happy retreats, and her tools and
minions are eagerly grasping, to seize the cup from the
lip of industry : will ye supinely fold your arms, and
calmly fee your weapons of defence torn from you, by a
band of ruffians r Ye, whose glorious and renowned an
cestors, freely lavished their blood and treasure, to secure
to you the full enjoyment of liberty, that greatest pf all
temporal bleflings ; forbid it Heaven ! forbid it gratitude
and honour !---How long will ye patiently bear insult
and wrong ? Are ye so callous and dead to every sense of
honour, as to disregard your reputation ; and the taunts
and feoffs of your fellow fubjefts in the neighbouring
colonies ? What is become of your former magnanimity
and spirit ; ye who dared to degrade the Governor of the
province, and exhibit his effigy, under the very muzzles
of his cannon ? Are ye dwindled to such dastards and
poltroons, as to fuffer yourselves to be insulted, and robbed
ofjourarms, by a few petty Custom-House Officers, with
impunity? Methinks I hear ye fay, it cannot, it must
not be.---Route then, my friends and countrymen, rouze,
and play the men upon this occasion; convince the world
that ye are Bill possessed of the fame noble spirit, by
which ye were actuated in former times, and that who
ever injures ye, ffiall not fail to feel the weight of your
resentment ; your country has been basely robbed (by the
officers of the customs) of a considerable number of arms,
which were legally exported from Great-Britain, and
imported here, in the /hip Lady Gage, and therefore not
liable to a seizure, under any pretence whatsoever, as they
are actually the manufacture of England :—Thofe arms
(I am credibly informed) are now on board the man of
war, and are in a few days to be sent to General Gage,
and of consequence to be used for your deftruftion : Can
ye bear such a thought ? especially when ye have it in
your power to prevent it; does not the bare idea of it,
harrow up your fouls ? In the name of Heaven, throw
off your supineness; aflemble together immediately, and
go in a body to the Collector, insist upon the arms being
re-landed, and Ch&he must fee them forth-coming, or
abide by the ccn^^cnces ; delays are dangerous ; there is
no time to be Jo/tUTis not a season to be mealy-mouthed,
or to mince mattaf; thetimes are precarious and perilous,
and we do not ksw but the arms may be wanted to
morrow.

Who departed this Life the 26th of November, 1774.
By a YOUNG GENTLEMAN of this City.
SAY, weeping mule, what means that passing bell ?
What breathless coarse demands that solemn knell ?
What foul departed moves in fad parade,
To death's cold mansions and the gloomyMhade?
But ah ! methinks, the fatal news is spread,
And Fame proclaims, that Ogilvie is dead :
The piou^ og ilvi e.! is he no more ?
Then Zion mourn, thy heavy loss deplore ;
In solemn grief command thy tears to flow,
And bid each bosom swell with anxious woe;
Let all thy courts in fable robes be hung,
And fun'ral dirges found from ev'ry tongue:
Thy faithful pastor from thy bosom torn,
His charge to keep, hull never more return.
(Yet could our grief, or floods of tears, O ! death,
Restore him spirit, and his vital breath,
That frame inanimate again should live
And thou, thy victim, to existence give;
But vain is grief, when life's extinct and tied,
The fluggilh rrrafs returns not from the dead.
, Nor sorrow, grief, or mourning, can retrieve
The clay cold victim from the op'ning grave)
Speak ye, his fhv'nte once peculiar 'care,
How vast his worth, how great his virtues were !
Say with what grace his heav'nly accents flow'd,
How much he lov'd, how much rever'd his God !
What strong conviction to his precepts join'd,
Alarm'd each thoughtless, each unthinking mind ;
Whilst harden'd sinners trembled as they late ;
To hear him preach, how awful was their Rate;
Their past offences in contrition mourn'd,
And sorrowing, fought the God they once had fcorn'd;
This happy Saint was here thy great employ,
To serve thy God, thy foul, thy only joy :
But time and sense are now with thee no more,
Past are thy labours, and thy cares are o'er.
Thy foul enlarg'd mounts the celestial road,
And Seraphs fafe conduct thee to thy God.
Myriads of Angels thy arrival wait,
And hail thy entrance in Jeruf'lem's gate;
Whilst Heav'n's high arch with shouts of triumph rings
And loud Hofanna's to the Kingof Kings.
There full fruition is thy just reward,
And thou art happy in thy Saviour Lord.
With faints made perfect, thou thy song shall raise
And spend a whole eternity in praile.
