September 14. dts- SAL, E S of advertifeu the 2c'li inft. p >fij)onev.ing proportions were adopted as tre fiivtni'.eujse of the citizens pntfeilt: ifl. That a free government,' conflituted on the bafu rf juflice and rights,cul tivating peace, and piefcrving. fafety to the citiztns at large, and maintaining refpefra bility with foreign nations, is one of the greateff political bleffin;; s. Although no country in the world can boast of absolute perfe&ion, in that or auy other refpedt, the people of America have as much, if not more rcafou, than those of any other coun try to be fatisfied with the rights and privi leges which they etijyy, under their federal and several state oonftitutions. They appear to be well deigned for promoting the bap pinefs of the people, to which little would be wanting but a more general love of vir tue, with less of a factious spirit and disposi tion. A ti\ily republican government must bciuppoitcd by the firmer, whilfl th? latter mill finally deflroy, fyy divilton, any govrrn went, be it evar so good as.to coplfitution and abstraCt principle. \ 2d. Tiiat although this meeting will hot alledge that the laws enafted under those conflitntions, have been altogether free from human error, it is their opinion they hav? been, upon the whtole, intended for the com mon welfare. That, in molt instances," t'ne administration of tbe general government, hat, with the bk-ffirig of Providence, great ly contributed in promoting tli? efiVntial oh. jests forwhich'it has been appoint-d. dt»7S. 3d. 'That the United Sta'ee, having in curred a large debt, whieh was due as well to the people of other countries for loans, made to these States, in the course of the warfor independence, as to thrirown ci tizens j for the payment of which no means were or could be provided until their adop tion of the new constitution. The fede ral we e bound for the support of the credit of the nation, both at home and abroad, to take proper measures for paying the interest, and providing for the gradual extinguifliment of the public debt. Phat neither could this he done, nor the proteftion ariling from laws and govern ment be afforded, without taxes. This mee ting will not undertake to judge with cer tainty, of the whole fyftcm of finance, adopted for these ends, or for protesting an extended frontier, as well as trade and commerce on the ocean, fortifying our sea ports, and being prepared to encounter foreign tyftility. Yet they do not helitate in giving it as their opinion, that all these objefts were neeeffary to be provided for, and that the lavs for raising revenue, in so great and so diveifified a country as the contiaeatof America; although they may not be equal as to every individual and par ticular and uniform throughout the whoie, and as little opprcflive on any of the States as cculd well be devised. 4th. That best support of a good gov ernment is the Union of a virtu us people, poflcfiing a reasonable confidence in it, and falfely to vilify and misrepresent public mea sures and public men, is dangerous to the peace and happiness-os society. This a'bufe of liberty, iuftead of supporting the jaws has an evident tendency todeftroy them and introduce disorder. The pr. sent meeting highly disapprove ot all unjust calumnies againlt thecharafter of either chief justice M'Kean or James Rofs ; andhoweve- pro per it mav be, to be acquinted with them, to be qualified to forma right judgment in their refpe&ive merits, all wilful fnlfho'id ought to be shunned in a regard to both. sth. As the independence of the Uuni ted States reits on fpi it<*d and prudent re finance of all toreig-J influence ot aggression, so their security depends upon harmony between the government of the individual S tales and the government of the Union The States are members of one g»eat fami ly 5 the Union and prosperity of which, like every other family, can only be promo ted. by the Uiited and prudent exertions of.all the members for the good of the whole. 6th. He only therefore is best, qualified for being a governor of any is free from all foreign influence, partiality or prejudice ; and whilst he will neither fur rend r the rights of the state, over which he prefidts, nor obltruft the exercise ,of those of the union, is firmly disposed to cultivate harmony among both and all. The foregoing propositions were agreed to without a difienting voice. 7th. That JAMES ROSS, who hasrefi ded among lis for upwards-of fifteen years, being generally and dtfervedly refpc >ed for his talents, good principles and fidelity, in the duties of the several offices in whichbehas hitherto been engaged, this m«ttiog is ful ly perluaded that he wili fill the station of governor of Penfylvania, when elefted, with great reputatiofi, pursuing the true intercfts ot'his rtate .ind of tlx: Onion ; and as the eondition and local interests of the western country, are well known to bim, we enter tain a well grounded belief of his difpoii tioii to promote those interests to every reasonable degree. T.ie last rcfolution was agreed to with only five delTeuting votes: It yzi t+ierciore that Jarf»e» Rd&, b« recommended ai gcfrnor tg the si ee fuffrag es of our fello\v citizen# 'of this state, at the enfui v 'g el?clion».*nd , that the citizen} now preterit will fnpport him ac cordmgty, •• Resolved further, Tha. thcfc proceedings' bf'figned by the chairman, and that a copy tKereof, witb a copy of the certific-.tts fr. ra Wafhingtcti cou'ity, be printed fofgeneral public nformation.
