The New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

Yesterday being assigned by the Hon. House of Representatives, to take into consideration the recommendation of Congress respecting the admission of Refugees, a person unknown delivered into the hand of the messenger of the house, a number of hand bills, containing the resolutions of the town of New Haven, in the State of Connecticut, to be by him brought into the House. The Representatives of the people of this State had too much sensibility not to feel themselves affronted at an indecency of this nature, and therefore ordered the hand bills to be burnt, and directed the messenger to take the person who offered them, that he might be committed for the contempt—but he absconded.
