[21:376]Re: Three Eastern CountiesAn Address, Of a Convention held at Portland on Wednesday the 5th day of September, 1787, by adjournment — to consider of[21:377]the expediency of the Three Counties of York, Cumberland, and Lincoln being formed into a Separate Government—to the Innhabitants of said Counties— Friends and Brethren, The publick good is an object of the greatest importance to every society; and deserves the attention of the society in general, and of the members who compose it in particular. For upon the general weal depends the interest and happiness of every individual. Upon this principle have a Convention of the Three Eastern Counties proceeded, from time to time; and have written to, and addressed you accordingly. Last January the Convention put into the hands of a Committee a petition to the General Court, praying for their consent that a separate government might be erected, including the three counties of York, Cumberland, and Lincoln. This they did upon the principle of such a separation's being consistent with the good of the Commonwealth at large, and highly beneficial to said counties. This petition now lays before the General Court (who are the political fathers of us all;) but they have not sufficient knowledge of the minds of the people, to proceed thereon. The Convention therefore, solicitous for the general good of the whole Commonwealth, and of these Counties in particular, wish to furnish them with all the evidence necessary upon such an occasion. They therefore recommend, that the inhabitants of the several towns and plantations in said Counties, would freely give their voices, by subscribing the following, yea or nay. *Nay. Blank, Yea.
