The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

The Zeal, Firmness, and unanimity of our late Houses of Representatives, and the steady Support they received from the honorable his Majesty's Council, does honour to the good Sense, and Patriotism of the Parties who at this trying Season committed the Conservation of their inestimable and now much endangered Rights into such worthy Hands. Some Exceptions we must allow there have been; but Ignorance, Ambition for the fancied Honors of Commissions, civil and military, and rank Cowardice respecting the Event of Contending to Blood for our Rights, daily giving Way to the better Information abounding through all Ranks of People afford us the comfortable hope that in a little Time our House of Representatives shall emulate that of Virginia, in which, a Gentleman lately from thence says, there was not so much as a lukewarm Member, much less a Dissident from the Cause of his Country.

The following is said to be a true List of the Names of eleven of the Gentlemen who voted Against a Congress; the remaining one is at present uncertain.

Col. Worthington, Col. Murray, Col. Pores, Major Ingersol, David Thacher, Esq; Abijah White, Esq; Col Bacon, Col. Day, Capt. Hayward of Braintree, Mr. Samuel Freeman, and Mr. Barnabas Freeman.
