1st PROVINCIAL CONGRESSNew York, Dec. 21, 1775.WHEREAS, on the 13th inst. on information, that a number of disaffected persons in Queen's county, had been supplied with arms and ammunition, from on board the Asra ship of war, and had been arraying themselves in military manner, to oppose the measures taking by the United Colonies for the defence of their just rights and privileges, and thrown out many threatening expressions against sundry persons residing in that and the neighboring Counties: It was resolved by this Congress as their opinion, that such conduct is inimical to the common cause of the United Colonies, and ought not by any means to be suffered, but that measures should be immediately taken, to put a stop to it: And it was therefore ordered, That the inhabitants of the said County should appear by a Committee before this Congress, on Wednesday then next, at ten o'clock in the morning, to give satisfaction in the premises, with which order the said inhabitants of Queen's County have not complied. And whereas the persons above mentioned and their adherents, have opposed the election of Representatives for that County in this Congress, on a poll opened for that purpose, whereby that County remains unrepresented in this Congress. And whereas, a prevailing party prevented the election of Delegates for the County of Richmond, at a late poll there opened for that purpose; by means whereof the said County is not represented in this Congress. And whereas, the poll list for Queen's County has been returned to this Congress, whereby the persons opposing such representation as aforesaid, and appearing to this Congress, to be inimical to the interest of the United States may be ascertained. Resolved First, That such inimical persons as aforesaid, have been guilty of a breach of the general Association, and of an open contempt of the authority of this Congress, as effectually representing the majority of the inhabitants of this Colony. Resolved Secondly, That the inhabitants of the County of Richmond, by neglecting to elect Representatives in this Congress, have been guilty of breach of the general Association. Resolved Thirdly, That the Committee of the said County of Richmond, do and shall, within fifteen days after the publication hereof, return to this Congress, or the Committee of Safety, a list of the names of those who oppose a representation of the said county, in this Congress, to the end, that the Delinquents against the common cause in that county may be ascertained, and that in default thereof, the whole County of Richmond be deemed delinquent. Resolved Fourthly, That the said Delinquents in the said Counties respectively, and each and every of them, be and hereby entirely put out of the protection of this Congress. Resolved Fifthly, That all friendly and commercial intercourse between the said persons so put respectfully out of the protection of this Congress, and the other inhabitants of this Colony, ought to be, and the same as far as can be effected by the recommendation of this Congress, hereby is and shall continue to be totally interdicted, until further orders of this Congress, or the Committee of public Safety. And to the end, That no persons may plead ignorance of the aforesaid Resolves and this Order, It is ordered, That the same, together with a list of such Delinquents as aforesaid in each of the said Counties respectively, be without delay, printed and dispersed in hand bills, and inserted in all the Newspapers of this Colony.
These Delinquents are not one third of the inhabitants in Queen's County, and are chiefly of the meaner sort of people, dependant upon, or under the influence of men, whom, from interested views, or worse motives, are inimical to the interests of their country.
