Dr. DAVID MARCHANT,Chairman.
«:W
rftjlO. I
—: ii
It wis iVated that this meeting was c illed
by the friends tfo the ele&ion of James Rols,
to consult on the ht ft means of promoting
it, and afcei taii:i'<jj the sense of the people
attending tjjirt, from all parts of the-cpuft
py. Cert.-;in certificates tranfiriitted by the
tonntii tee .of Wifhifigtou county, for pro
moting the eledtion of Mr. Hols, relative
to his rtligionsand moral charatttr, ad<fref-.
led to general William Jack, were laid be
fore the meeting and gave verj general fa
tisfattion.
Upon a free mutual communication, the
foil >v.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

Th' preparations iV the fee ret expedition

gular* vifiels as to occasion an intern Jtiion.
or give pretence fir a rile in the price of
articles. The employment of so many
large fliips certainly gives a colour to
the report that it is not Brltifh troons
only that are to be employed in the expedi
tion, but that th-re is to be a torm'-dable
co-operation from our allies. In every way
t)ie Republic of France is to be attacked ; by
the mod flciH'cl negotiators and agents Ra
tioned at the moll convenient points, who
are to exert all the influence of argvJnur.t,
and by tut malt powerful armies, who are to
assail every fide of the still gigantic enemy.
This campaign will therefore be as vigor
ous and united as aB the former ones have
been languid / and dispirited. If (he fhal
