By tie President of the .United
States of sfmerica,
A PROCLAMATION*
WHEREAS from a hope, that the
combinations against the Gonftitution
and Laws/of the United States, in cer
tain of the Wcftern countics of Pe/ln
fylvania would yield to time and reflec
tion, I thought it fufficient, in the firft
inftar.ee,rather to takt measures for call
ing forth the militia, than immediately
to embody them ; —but the moment is
now come, when the overtures of for
givenefs with no other condition, than
a fubmiflion to Law, have been only
partially aeceptcd—when every form of
conciliation not inconfiflent with the
being of Government, has been adopt
ed without effect; —when the well dis
posed in those counties, are unable by
their influence and example to reclaim
the wicked from their fury, and are
compelled to afTociate in their own de
fence ; —when the proffered lenity has
been pervetfely miiinterpreted into an
apprehension, that the citizens will
march with reluctance ; —when the op
portunity of examining the feriouscon
fequences of a treafanable opposition
has been employed in propagating prin
ciples of anarchy, endeavoring through
emiffariesto alienate the friends of or
der from itsfupport, and inviting its e
nemies to perpetrate similar aits of in
furre&ion when it is manifeft that
violence would continue to be exercised
upon every attempt to enforce the Laws
—When therefore government is set at
defiance, the contest being whether a
small portion of the United States shall
dictate to the whole union, and at the
expence of those, who desire peace, in
indulge a desperate ambition
Now therefore 1 George Wafhitig
ton, President of the United States, in
obedience to that high and iriefiflible
duty, consigned to me by the Constitu
tion " to take care that the laws be
faithfully executed —deploring that
the American name should be sullied
by the outrages of citizens on their
own Government; commiserating such,
as remain obstinate from deluiion ;
but refolvcd in perfect reliance on that
Giacious Providence which so signally
displays its goodness towards this Coun
try, to reduce the refractory to a due
fuhordination to the law Do hereby
declare and make known, that with a
fatisfaction, which can be equalled only
by .lie merits of the Militia summoned
into service from the States of New-
Jtrfey, Penrifylvania, Maryland and
Virginia, I have received intelligence of
their patriotic alacrity, in obeying the
call of the present, tho' painful, yet
commanding neceflity; that a force,
which according to every reasonable ex
pedtation is adequate to the exigency,
is already in motion to the scene of dif-,
afFedtion ;—that those who hare confid
ed, or shall confide in the protection of
Government, shall meet full succour
under the standard and frorti the arms
of the United States ; —that those who
having offended against the laws have
since entitled themselves to indemnity,
will be treated with the mod liberal
good faith, if they shall not have for
feited their claim by any subsequent
conduit, and that inftrwftions are'given
accordingly.
And 1 do moreover exhort all indi
viduals, officers, and bodies of men, to
contemplate with abhorrence the mea
sures leading directly or indirectly to
those crimes, which produce this
resort to military coercion : to check,
in their respeCtive spheres, the efforts of
misguided or deligning men to fubfti
tutt their misrepresentations in the place
of truth and their discontents in the
place of stable government ; —and to
call to mind that as the people of the
United States have been permitted un
der the Divine favor in perfect freedom,
after solemn deliberation, and "in an
enlightened age, to ele& their own go
vernment ; so will their giatitude for
this inestimable blessing be best distin
guished by firm exertions to maintain
the Constitution and the laws.
And lastly 1 again warn all persons
whomsoever and wherefover, not to
abet, aid or comfort the Insurgents
aforefaid, as they will answer the con
trary at their peril; and Ido also re
quite all officers and other citizens, ac
cording to their several duties, as far
as may be in their power, to bring un
der the cognizance of the law all offen
ders in the Premises.
In Testimony whereof, 1 have caus
ed the Seal of the United States of A
merica to be affixed to these Presents,
and signed the fame with my band.

" OF the many remaikable trials which
tt* present extraordinary system of crimi
nal jurisprudence in G. Britain and Ireland
has brought before the public eye; this,
certainly is most entitled to universal pe
rusal and attention. It developes, nfore
fully than any publication extant, the lat

tion ; and proves inconteftibly, that judi
ciai prosecutions (or perfecutiuns( and de
ciftons are now more the result of the pre
fentorderof things, than any oldfafhion

wonder and admitation of mankind, the
the firm, manly, and patriotic conduct of
this devoted victim—this' Second Sydney,'
as he has justly and deservedly been called;
who in thecoutTeof one of the longefttti

drew involuntary app-laufe from the venal
