Extract of a letter from Boston, July 26.
In my last I signified that we should have a meeting, which
obtained on Monday. The Sons got a union, on which they
inscribed, `Immediate Exportation without Exception', on
royal paper: This was preceeded by the Cryer, and a French-
horn, and immediately followed by two drums; the most
reputable North-End Sons being principal tradesmen, &c. To
these succeeded two pair of colours, and two more drums, and
thus proceeded the whole length of the town, the Cryer
proclaiming at every corner, `The voice of the trade and the
people will be attended to this afternoon at 3 o'clock.--Now
this is the crisis---Will you be enslaved by a handful of
importers. Yea, or Nay?
