14 Feb 1782:11 (1831)
Yesterday, pursuant to adjournment, the citizens of
Philadelphia met in the state-house yard, in order to
determine upon the mode of chusing a new committee, to carry
into execution sundry resolutions entered into the day
before, as also to consider other matters to be laid before
them. During the proceedings, General Cadwalader, who had
early, and who has uniformly distinguished himself in the
service and defence of his country, offered several times to
address his fellow-citizens, but was as often interrupted by
a body of about 100 men, armed with clubs, who had marched
in array, under their officers, with fife and drum, and
placed themselves near the stage. General Roberdeau, the
chairman of the meeting, and several members of the
committee, exerted themselves in vain to preserve order. . .
