our rights, has pursued system of aggression"
upon our institutions And whereas the said city
is growing rich and populous by feeding on our
oysters and vegetables, which they purchase from
us-thus impoverishing US And whereas we
cannot look with composurc on the growth and
prosperity of said city, now numbering more than
500 900 souls, while Hobbs Hollow is at most
stationary, and our soil and oyster-beds are be-
coming less and less profitable every day-there'
fore,
Rssolped, That as chivalrous" and generous
sonsD of Hobbs Hollow, we will hold no further
intercourse with said City of New York that by
withholding our oysters and vegetables from the
fanatical consumers thereof 10 said city, her pop.
ulation will soon dwinde, and Hobbs Hollow Wall
become the most prosperous portion Of the globe
R,solped, That the sons Of Hobbs Hollow are
not only the bravest men on earth, but that tsay
are the most hospitabie, talented and fond Of all
sorts of danger, and Of "pluckiDg up drowning
honor by the locks,n and oil that sort OF thing
Resolped, That we will not buy anything which
comes from New York that we will not load ma
nnre or clans on Ira Browns scow, he having
bought her in New York, and being also New
Yorker by birth.
Resoiued, That we pledge our lives, our for
tunes, our lobster pots and clam rakes, 10 the
holy cause OF resisting the fanaticai expressions
of New York that a regiment Of five men be
forthwith raised to enforce our rights.
