[Robert Bolton, Jr. (1848)] 351 General Assembly of this Province, and particularly to Jolin Thomas and Pierre van Cortlandt, Esq., two of our Representatives, for their attachment to, and zeal on a late occasion, for the preservation of the union of the Colonies, and rights and liberties of America; and that this resolve be communicated by the chairman to every gentleman of whom that minority consisted. Resolved, that the thanks of this county are due to the Delegates who com-posed the late Congress, for the essential services they have rendered to America in general; and that this resolve be forthwith published. After the business of the day was thus concluded, the people gave three huzzas for our gracious sovereign, and dispersed quietly without the least disorder.*
