TO THE PUBLICK.

Westchester County, New-York, April 29, 1775.

We, the subscribers, do hereby make this publick declaration: That whereas we and several others in Westchester County, having signed a certain number of Resolves, which, at the time of our said signing, we deemed constitutional, and as having a tendency to promote the interest of our Country; but since, upon mature deliberation and more full knowledge of the matter, find not only injurious to our present cause, but likewise offensive to our fellow Colonists: We do therefore thus publickly testify our abhorrence of the same, and declare ourselves friends to the Colonies, and ever ready cheerfully to exert ourselves in the defence and preservation of the same.

JONATHAN FOWLER, Esquire,
GEORGE CORNWELL, Esquire.
