Ertract Of letter from a Gentleman


IN Bah.


We had our meeting Yesterday 70
choose Representatives, which was
very singular one indeed--In the first
place il was tried to see if the town
could send two and it was negatived by
more perhaps than $50; then they vot-

carried in the number | think in all
was 222 : VIM. King had I2l, and
was chosen; after that he got up and
made long preamble, said that it
would be very inconyenient for him to
attend the General Court this year, but
on accent CT his good friends, if the
town would BOW vote to send his good
friend Tolman, SO that they could help
one another, that he would consent to
go, and that he would engage that it
should not be any more eXpence to the
town than il there was but one, as that
he could be there a part ofthe time and
his goOd lriendthe other, notwithstand-
Ing he had previously voted not to send
bnt one--then the vote was tried to see
II the town would send another without
rcconsidering the former vote altho of
ten req c5ted by some. And 50 we are
to be represented by tzeo democrats this
year"

to political millennium when such IN
aShtIing characters as William King
offer to be our rulers gratis.
