dred OF the leading citizens OF that time. who thus
fearessly placed themselves public record as
strongly opposed to any further continuance Of
British rule over the American colonies. The cir
cular expresses regret al the necessity OF an ad-
dress 10 the freeholders and freemen Of the city
and county OF Eew-York. and notes with much
anxiety the disorder and confusion in which this
city was then involved 1t calls for cool and tenn
perate counsels. and expresses a doubt that union
will consent &c be governed by the OF the ma
jority and will join in having that sense fairly and
candidly ascertained." II admits that some OF
those named In the call az members OF the general
committee for the city and county have become OBJ
tects OF distrust and suspicion, and possibly not
without reason; It urges all good citizens TO re,
In this contest IL IL wise to give opportunity 10 all
