To the freemen and freeholders, of the city of New-York : Gentlemen, as you are now met, I shall open the occasion of your being called together. You all doubtless well remember, that in the latter end of the month of October last, was imported into this city, and deposited in the fort, a quantity of stamped vellum, parchment and paper, intended to be distributed in this province, by virtue of a late act of Parliament .

A protest against sending back to England the stamped paper.
