Address of the Magistrates of FREDERICK County, MARYLAND, to the Honourable MATTHEW TILGHMAN, THOMAS JOHNSON, ROBERT GOLDSBOROUGH, WILLIAM PACA, and SAMUEL CHASE, Esquires.

We the subscribers, Magistrates of Frederick County, sensible of the disinterested services you have rendered your country on many occasions, but particularly as Deputies from this Province to the Grand Continental Congress, beg leave to return you our sincere acknowledgments. The whole of the proceedings of that important Assembly are so replete with loyalty to the King; with tenderness to the interest of our fellow-subjects in Great Britain; and above all, with reverential regard to the rights and liberties of America, that they cannot fail to endear you to every American, and your memory to their latest posterity.
