Alluding to the precario'usness of the situation of the Yorkers, he continued: Hitherto, sir, we have at the risque of our ears, and of receiving the infamous punishment of Whipping, sup ported the jurisdiction oi' the state in this county. But as we begin to believe that Congress-with whom the matter now solely rests - will not do anything effectual for our relief, we do not think it our duty any longer to put our all at stake. We would wish, sir - we are earnestly desirous, to live under the government of New York, but cannot longer risque so much for a government which is either unable or unwilling to protect us; and must candidly assure your Excellency, that unless Congress shall have settled this controversy by the let of June next, the subjects of New York in this county must, for their own safety, connect themselves with some power able to afford them secu rity. While thus stating the grievances to which the adherents of New York in Cumberland county had been subjected, Mr. Minott, in behalt' of his associates, assured the Governor that these unfortunate results had not been occasioned by any neglect on his part. We beg leave, wrote he, to express the wannest sentiments of gratitude to your Excellency, for your Conduct through the whole of our most distressed situation. We are truly sensible, sir, that you have done all in your power to relieve us, and that if Congress had the same tenderness for the calamities of their constituents which you have repeatedly shown to those underyour care, we should before this have been in a capacity of doing something to assist the continent in car rying on the war. Such were the accounts transmitted to Governor Clinton from Cumberland county. They were intended both for his instruction and the edification of the congressional delegation from New York.
