8. That a committee be immediately chosen to wait on those gentle- men who, it is reported, are appointed by the East India Company to receive and sell said tea, and request them, from a regard to their own characters, and the peace and good order of the city and province, im- mediately to resign their appointment." The East India Company, finding it impossible to induce the Americans themselves to import or even to receive the tea as freight on board of ships belonging to the American ports, i...n collusion with the Ministry, set about chartering vessels for the purpose, having determined in tiie language of the day " to cram the tea down the throats " of the colonists. These vessels were consigned to different parties in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Charleston. Notice of the actual sailing, on the 27th of September, of the ship with its cargo of tea intended lor Philadelphia, was publicly given in the papers of the first clay of Do- cembcr, and, as it was then hourly expected, the " Americans " were urged to " be wise^— be virtuous." On the 27th of September the self- constituted Committee for Tarring and Feathering had issued handbills of the most friendly kind to the pilots on the Delaware river, admon- ishing tliem : " Do your duty if perchance you should meet with tlie (tea) ship Polly, Captain Ayres," and followed it up, as the vessel was actually reported off Cape May, by an address to the aforesaid captain, which, after a warning to desist from any effort to approach the city with his vessel, plainly promises, in case of his persistence : " A halter around your neck, ten gallons of liquid tar scattered on your pate, with the feathers of a dozen wild geese laid over that to enliven your ap- pearance." In the meantime demands were made upon the conniiis- sioners to refuse the consignment.
