"The people were of one accord in one place".

A resolution was unanimously passed amid great cheering expressing heartfelt Satisfaction at your unbounded devotion to the Cause that occupies every patriots heart.


and for your noble efforts to releive our brave soldiers, and also expressing our great joy on account of your wise and timely use of Constitutional power in prorogueing a legislatur Composed of anti patriots and corrupt men, and thus releiving the minds of our people from apprehension and anxiety.
