indeed no man who considers the form

strange, that this truth should be made
a topic from which to prove the pro

tirely the reverse. The sovereignty of
the ftatcs resides in the people, and is
exercised by the Right of Suffrage, that

This compaction was exhibited in small

The whooping, fays Lutcliff, generally

The embarkation of the Dorset vo
lunteers took plaee ydterday afternoon
about five o'clock under Capt. Newton
and lieutenants Trippe and Wright, by
orders fiom Brigadier General Ecclellon
One hundred men, officers included,
embarked on this fukrt.n occasion amidll
the huzzas o: a large body of their fel
low citizens who had colledted on the
shore to maiiifell their refpedl for these
gallant and patriotic republicans; and
their veneration ot those principles of
genuine cilizenlhip which regulate the
conduct of the volunteers. The tititioft
good order, sobriety and cheerfulnefs
marked the deportment of the troops.
The scene called forth the most interest-
ing reflections ; and preiented a happy
pref;>ge in favour of federal republicanism
as it evinced beyond doubt that law
and energy—military energy, and free
dom are compatible, and are reducible
to the p raft ice as well as the theory of
the republican form. Sueh a fight mull

rate will encounter any difficulties' and
dangers to fulfil the expe&ation of a
free constitution—to quell infurreaions
and carry the laws of the union into ex
ecution ! This morning they set fail at
funnfe with a fajr wind to Baltimore,
whence they will with the other
militia of this state proceed to the scene
of aft ion. The long established milita ■
ry fame of Gen. Smith, who commands
the Maryland line, infm es them the hap
piest auspices. And while we sincerely
implore fnc«efs and victory to that
officer and his countrymen, if the delti
fion of the Insurgents lenders the use of
aims tieceflary we Hill entertain the hope
that a return of rcafon and sobriety
among these mistaken men may avert
the neceility of so solemn an appeal.
Great praiie is due to the addicfs,
good sense andaftivity of our Brigadier
General of this militia diftridt, for the
prompt compliance with Governor Lee's
general orders. 5
FROM COP RESPONDV.NTS.
We hear from good authority that in
Dorset the most spirited condudl and sen
timents prevailed on the late meeting of the
battalions. Volunteers turned but and
glory in a military iervice fan&ioned by
civil liberty and neceflary to its perfla
tion.
In this country nothing but information
generally diffufed can lave our liberties.—
Had the people of the Union been as ig
norant elsewhere as they are among these
Insurgents at Pittsburgh, we ihould not
have seen the indignation against trfafon so
general as we undertake to afiert it to be in
this state. But the enlightened citizens
know that in a free republic laiu mull rule
—for law is the will of the majority—laws
not men govern here. Bin 'it men are above
law they ufu'rp and are tyrants—Such are
the traitors of Pittlburgh—fuch all the'

STEWART delivered the fc/lowino-
Address. °
Gentlemen,
THE Governor being cullt-d on his
executive duty, which "ill detain him
some time from the city of Philadel
phia, has dire&ed me, in cafe any
emergency should arise duiing his ab
sence, to aflift by every means in mv
power, the civil authority, either by
drafts from the division I command, or
by such other mode as may appear mod
likely in connexion with the Mayor to
secure the peace and order of the city.
Many of the citizens have already ex
! pieflcd a ftrcng desire that a corps of
men not included in the lequifitjon a
gainst f!:e western inftirgents (or who,
si om peculiar circumltances could not
leave their occupations, or are exempt
from militiaduty ) fhonld be embodied in
the city and its suburbs, as they justly
conceive it will afford great consolation to
those worthy citizens, who have left un
der our charge, the facted trust of their
families and propertv.
The Governor has also directed that
the commanding officer at Fort Mifflin
frail apply to me for such drafts from
the militia as may from time to time
prove neccfiary to preserve the peace
and neutrality of the Port.—This must
prove a further incentive for such a
corps being at this particular time or.
ganized, and I now propose that you
immediately exert yourselves to bring
forward from your refpetlive commands
or from such other of our fellow ci'ti
zens as may be willing to engage in this
particular service, Five hundred men
properly offictered—arms will be deli
vered to commanding officers of com
panies, for such men as are not already
provided, but it is expected that no
others will apply for them.
It is, gentlemen, among the firft du
ties of freemen to be at all times pre
pared to guard the liberty and vindicate
the laws and constitution of their coun
tr y> —when called on to a prompt dif
chargs of this duty, an apathy can ouly
anfefrom our undervaluing the blcffinu-s
we enjoy, or prizing our ease more than
our security. The United States have
been insulted from abroad, and. at
home ; and as they are able, so (hould
they be prepared to repel every repe
tition thereof. In a distant part of the
ft ate, where the burthen was light, and
profpctity great, rebellion haa boldly
reared its crest, and dared to menace
the union,—at the call of our Chief Ma
gistrate our brethren in arms have nobly
ftept forth, to chastise the insurgents,
and avenge the injuries of their country
the patriotism which they have display
ed is the furefl pledge of their doing
their duty;— Let us follow their exam
ple, be preparing to preserve the fights
of neutrality, our domcitic quiet, our
liberty and laws—they are it is true,, so
well understood and so highly valued by
the good citizens of this part of the
{late, as almost to forbid the idea ps any
aggrefiion among us, but freemen should
lieverthelefs remember, that the surest
way of preventing such aggrelfioos, is
to b« at nil times prepared to repel
them.
Under a conviction that these truths
will be felt and acknowledged, I have
(during the absence of our brethren in
arrhs,J made this call on the patriothm
of my fellow citizens and flatter myfelf
it will not be made in vain.
