™ 1 Fellow-Citizens,
THE importance of the lubjeft of
ithe ehclofed ResolutionS, lias induced
nine x us to offer them to your, consideration
~ j and attention—to us the fubjrft appear
j ed of so ferions a nature, so injurious as
' i a principle, so dangerous in its confe
' quences, that to pass it by in silence
ions was t0 forfeit the charafterof the socie
ty, and to abandon the motive which
evr \ aflociated us.
Political evils are more easily, and
certainly more fafely prevented than
cured; it behoves, therefore, to guard
are, our conltitution with the mcft jealous
ied care, and to protelt against every en
crbachment upon it, that the evils of
let defpbtifm or a Revolution may be alike
prevented. If, while our feelings are
eas still warm with the ponteft against Bri
ti(h usurpation, we tamely submit to
am have the citadel of our liberties under
mined, we may soon expect, as the re
e]y volutionary enthusiasm is fail, on its de
cline, to submit to its explosion, with
to all the fang froid of men who had never
tailed freedom;
Shall we, fellow-citizens, who have 1
proftffed to be ceiitinels on our confli- J1
JW tution and our laws;—(hall we, who 11
a 9 ave knovir how to estimate the j I
blessings of liberty (hall those who i I
have assisted in that revolution, the I ]
J prize of which was to be free j shall they j
submit in silence to an ilfurpation which '
l e attacks the efTence of their rights and (
their security, and exposes them to all
the calamities attendant upon the will of /
an individual!
Gratitude is a virtue when it does
not operate to our own dellruftion, and j
to let it fmothcr wrongs great as the one •
id of which we com; lain, is a wcaknefs a
unworthy of freemen. If the weight of I
" "ifluence is already so great as to fh'fle '
the voice of our representatives, it is °
e h, g h to found the alarm, and we ! ■
trust, -here is yet virtue and indepen- \ a
e dence enough in the American people '
to rouse at the signal of danger, and to u
n convince their agents, that they have : u
contended for freedom against British '
k tyrants, and that it shall not be wrested
from them by any power or influence ' I'.
19 upon earth. ■
If the sentiments exprefTed in the en-! J
•- elofed resolutions should meet your ap- •
probation, an evidence of your concur- j
1# rence will add much to their weight, nr
1 a publication of them on your part p
encreafe their effect.
