Look! on it aa in Insurrection, ate- dee:.
W In rc-upor we, ill Walton's Pr!Sence, drew aft

"Ai a Meeting of tho Inhabitant! ol Orange Conn-ty,
Ofl the 10th ol October. 1766, lor Conference)
on publiek Affairs with our Reprcicntilirel,

" It waa the Judgment of Ihe aaid Meeting, that,
by Reaaon of the Extent of the Co'mty, no oua
Marl in it, in a general way,'Waa known hy ahoro
one tenth Man of the Inhabitants;—for which Rce.
aon, auch a meeting for a Publiek and free Confer,

designed ui in thai Part of our Constitution

uaos our Money ia called for. We Also conccire
auch a Repreaenlalirc would find himself at an in-finite
Loss to aniwer the Design of hn Comtitu-cuts,

of Weight and Monieni.
"And whereas, at the said Mecling, none of them
appeareo (though we Ibink properly acquainted
With our Appointment and Requeals) yel, aa Ibe
Thing is somewhat new in this County (though
practised in older Goreinmen'.s) tbey might not

Requeata.
"We therefore conclude, lhal if they hereafter
are inclinable in anawer it, (hat wo will attend Ibeea
at some other Time and Place, en their giving ae

Deliberation, the Inhabitants of Ihe County will

A Copy of thia was given to Mr. iritraori, on hia
Approbation of it; and he promised to present each
of our Kcpreaeiitatires with proper Tranacripta;—
Whinh we make not ihe least Doubt but be com-plied
with.
But, however, instead of complying with our ao
reasonable Proposals, Colonel Fuaing, ihe follow-.
nig Court, or at a general Muaier, read a longPieco
of wriling in Publiek, and among our Juaticee, in
Repugnance lo our Requeal, vaunting himself
greatly 111 Irs Performance; telling them, he had

only Attorney we had any Ilupes of sorting ua to
undertake it.
Some Months after, all was mil, there happened
to com* oul a new Collection ol ihe Laws in ono
