the business of an important Session pre-
vented the passage of many Laws which the
interest and safety ofthe people now imperi-

and exposed:

of New York, do hereby PROTEST, against
this exercise Of Executive Prerogative, as ar
bitrary and tyrannical in itself: as subversive
Of the constitutional independence of the Lee

ties of the citizens of this state.
