Blush! Blush! Ye of the Court of Common-Council, held the 23d of June, 1767, who concurred in a Resolution to the Honour of Mr. Deputy Paterson, truly laudable in itself. - Have ye since had any Reason to alter your Opinion of the Man on whom you so justly placed a Mark of such Honour and Distinction: I mean not here to enumerate his Services, nor to depriciate the Merit of any other of the Candidates, but if good Sense and Gratitude were to prevail, Mr. Paterson's Number of Votes would be equal to the highest.

These are the Sentiments of a Friend to the City of London, and to Merit.
