BOSTON, Oftober 20.
Friday the Committee from the County of Worirfer waited
on his Excellency the Governor with the following
sddtefs, vic.
To his Excellency Thomas Gage, Esq; Governor of Kis
Maefty’s Province of the Maflachufetts-Bay, arid Crrrw
mander in Chief of the King's Fuiccs in
Moy if pleafeyour Excellency, ,
TH L people of the county of Worcester being earnest.
!y folxitous for the peace and welfare of the'pnAince
In eeneiai, canna’ view the meafri’es now ovrAiiny by ydui
Exctll-ncy but with enervating jealousy, as they apprehend
there has not, nor does not at prefentexift, any just occanon
for the formidable hostile preparations making on the neck
leading to our di idled capital.
It is a ma Wr of such notoriety thatynur Excelle icy muff
be fenfhle, there was not the least opp«fition made to 00-
ftruft the introduCEon of the King’s troops at their nift
landing, nor have the people fmee rhat time difcove.ed any
intent on to disturb then., till your Excellency *«
to otder the feiznre of the powder in the AJen.il at C hirlel
town, n a private manner, ahkh oeafioned the report
that a fleitmilh had happened between a party of the King S
troops and the people at Cambiidge, in wh.ch feveial of
the latter fell. This caused the people to arm and ma.ch
from diver* parts of the country ; but no sooner was that
report proved falfe, than they returned very peaceably to
their refprfiive homes. , .
The Inhabitants of the province in general and .own of
Borton have never given cause for those Cruel an I a.bilrary
afis, for blockading their harbour and fubverung the char
ter, bv altering the civil government of the province, wh«h
however, this people ar.- determined by ti e div ue favour,
never tofobmir to, but with their lives, noiwithftanding they
are aggrieved at the kina's dfpleafute against them, through
the instigation of t.-ait *ous and defining men.
Tiiis county fi ds it difficult to compiehen I the motives
for the present hostile parade, unkfs it be in conference of
some preconceited plan to fobjefl the already town
of Borton to mean compliances or military contributions.
Thev are equal!; rt a lof» to account for your Excellency *
conduct towards the county of Suffolk, as in your anl" er 10
obs- :ve, that vou had not made it eofier to efEefl this, than
what nature has made it } iffo the county cannot conceive,
why this ex, ence and damace of the town to no purpvfc :
Your Excellency is likewise nieafed to take notice of the
general good behaviour orJ e fci.Eer«, but at rhe fame time
oafs over that pa t tempi r ing of the detention of pnvare
property, and proceed coanfoer by way ofQueie, to which
you would net permit a reply. T! is coun’y a.e conftra-ned
to obfene, they apprehend the people juftifiahle in providing
for their own defence, while they undeiftood theie was no
parting the neck without examination, the cannon at the
north-battery fplked up, and mans places fcaiched, whcie
arms and amunition weie fcfpefled to be ; and it found,
feixed ; yet as the per pie have never afled onenfivriy, nor
difcovereJ any dilpofiLon foto de, till as above related, the
county apprehends this can oevet juflify the fc.ture of pri
vate property.
It is with great anxie.y this county otfervos the wanton
exe’eife of power in the officers of the customs at Salem,
and on board the king’s <L‘P’ ng the article of Fuel,
ddlined for the ufeof the inhabitants of Borton, who ate ,
obliged to have it with the additional charge of lanoing and ,
,«U->cing at Salem, before it can proceed; when your Ex
cel’eocy must be CenfiWe the a«, which is the profefted rule
c- conduftexprefrly excepts Fuel and viffoah which may
be brought to Borton by taking on board one or more offi
cer. at Salem (without the aforttad charge) while that
destined for the troops proceeds dircfl, free from tl e sane.
These ate many o.her things bear extiemcly hard on
the inhabitants, while they are prohibited from tranfport
icg thifraalleft ankles from one part of the town to ano
ther, water-borne, without danger of a ft.cute or to get Lay, ,
cattle, &c. from any oi the Illands, notwithftand.ng there
Lnood.away of tranfp' rta iun.
Y-ur Excellency, we apprehend, mull have been greet -
k mifinfoimed vs Use charaflec of this people, to foppefe
such fevetities tend either to a fubmifli n to the aftj, or
reconciliation the troops; and the rounty are lorry to
find ihe execution oft’-ea4U attempted with ar. h> s her
hand tiuu.wa.i tended, unkfs the a£h themselves fhou.d
be th i*ut uo lenient. •
Eiingmg into the town a number of cannon horn v.ains-
Wdliam, fending far • farther reinforcement of tioops,
with other concurung efreumftarxes, ftiosgw indicaurtg
_ ~ mind* ad
the people apprehenfi ms tsi the tnoft alarnvng nature, and
the authors must be held accounubie for all the Mood anil
carnage made in consequence theieof. Therefore this coun
ty, iu duty to Cud, their country, tkemfclvcs xnd pofteii
ty, do icmonftrate to, and earnestly desire youi Excellency,
as vnu regard the feivlce of the King and peace and welfare
of the province, to desist from any farther hostile preparati
ons, and give the people aflurances f, by levelling
intrenchments and difmantlinp the foitincations, which
will have a tendency to latisfy their doubt., and reflnrethat
confidence so eflential to their quiet and his Majesty’s for
vice.
The GOVERNOR * Answer.
frent/emtn,
TH a V E repeat- ily given the strongest afforances that
J trit-nded nothing hostile agsinft the town or coun

It is Resolved, as the sense of this Congress, That it

At ti»e fame time, we think it incumbent on this people to

which he hath been pleased in his righteous judgment to
foffer so gieat a calamity to befal us, as the present contro

Tut what tendered this gemlnnin nine eminently confpi

'twas hisconrtant wilh and unremitted effirrt to defeat

kind, that he died a martyr to the inter ft of America :
His watchfolnefs, labours, dift.cfiea and caerron* to pro
