Petition and Remonstrance of Philadelphia Committee
A long extract from the Votes of the Honourable House of Representatives documents the Petition and Remonstrance of the Committee of the City and Liberties of Philadelphia. It denounces an address titled An Address of the People called Quakers as unfriendly to American liberties and urges defence of rights, warning against passive obedience and urging unity with the broader colonial effort. The text frames liberty, taxation, and martial obligations in the context of the ongoing crisis and Revolutionary tensions. It includes commentary on royal charters, parish governance, and references to General Carleton and Montreal, with notes on dispatches and local saltpetre production progress.
