Physical Description
A. L. S. 4 pp. Fo
Description
On arriving he delivered to the President of Congress the writings from the Legislature and all papers transmitted relative to Vermont; next day [Sept. 8th] a committee of five was appointed to consider the same; in the mean time he strove to influence members, urging the intolerable usurpation and tyranny of Vermont, and the necessity of resorting to arms unless Congress should interpose; he thought it best that some one other than President Jay should press the matter in Congress, and therefore applied to [John] Dickinson, stating that the committee meant to bring in a report assigning a certain day on which Vermont should show cause why New York should not extend jurisdiction over the district in question, and over those inhabitants who acknowledge themselves to be citizens of New York; he then set forth at length his objections to this report, and submitted to Dickinson a proper form for a report, ordering that the prior claimants, that is the three states claiming jurisdiction, should be heard before Vermont.
