Early on Monday morning, preparations were made for the
meeting at the Exchange: A union flag, with a red field was
hoisted, on the Liberty Pole, where, at 9 o'clock, the
Friends of Freedom assembled, and having got in proper
readiness, about 11 o'clock, the body began their march to
the Exchange. They were attended by music; and two standard
bearers carried a large union flag, with a blue field, on
which were the following inscriptions: On one side, George
II. Rex and the Liberties of America. No Popery. On the
other, The Union of the Colonies, and the Measures of the
Congress. Some time after they had arrived at the Exchange,
came also the other company. . . [14 lines describe the
other company, followed by discussion of two questions, and
description of recession of those attending.]
