An apparition of the late Maryland Gazette
New-York, November 7. . . Copy of a letter to a gentleman
in London. As soon as it was known in America, that the
stamp-act had passed, and that our remonstrances and
petitions against it had not even been heard or presented. .
. [long report of various riots and protests]
About 7 o'clock in the evening two companies appeared, one
of them in the fields, where a moveable gallows was erected,
on which was suspended the effigy of a man who had been
honoured by his country with an elevated station. . . [9
lines] In his hand was a stamped paper, which he seem'd to
court the people to receive; --at his back hung a drum, on
his breast a label. . .
