V of the late treaty proposed to be made with Great I Britain. Yet, notwithflanding those difcontentg, 1 we express our confidence ill the executive depart- J ment of the general government, in whom the pow- ( cr of making treaties is constitutionally veiled. All ] attempts, therefore, to inflame or agitate the minds of the people against the officers of government, ] and particularly our 'beloved President, merit our - highest disapprobation. We have hitherto lived happy under the laws of ' the United States of America. We have sworn ( ta support the eonftitution thereof, and we pro nounce the men whom we have intrnfted with the administration of the laws, to be under our protec tion and guardianlhip. We likewise announct our utmofl abhorrence ■' and detestation against the writer of a threatening anonymous letter, dated March 13th, 1795, and ( directed to the honorable judge Campbell-—We , exhort and direst the citizens of this Territory not < to be guilty of any offence of the like nature. We consider all attempts of redress for any injuries, elpecially supposed injuries, Thort of legal or con stitutional measures, is beneath the character ihat ought to dignify a citizen of the United States. These expressions of tfur minds, and the charge delivered by Judge Campbell, we desire may be in serted in the Knoxville Gazette. (Signed) THOMAS HENDERSON, Foreman. Reply from thr Grand Jury for the dijlrict of Ha milton, at Oflober term, 1795, '» the charge deli vered to them by the Hon. 'Judge Campbell. WITH pleasure have we attended to the charge delivered by you, at the commencement of the pre sent session. The true principle of government ought to be . r well understood by every citizen, ai d deeply im prcfTed #tp every mind. Tsat all freemen in a re publican government, have a rigliL to remonftraie in a conilitutional manner, againit grievances. We highly reprobate all riots, burning cf effi gies* or any other unlawful step taken to throw the minds of the people into :t lernient. We like wife ( disapprove of inve&ives being thrown out against offi' trs of government in high Ration, especially \ the illustrious Washington, We also feel the high- j &ft sensations of sjr-utitude for those citizens, who in a j atriotic and conilitutional manner opposed those parts of the late treaty Britain, which to us appear inimical to the rights and li berties of the free and independent Hates of Ame rica. We dcclare, that though we have found Dur felvei happy und r the patronage of Congids, in our temporary government, nevertbtlcfs, v.e prefer a full voice in the federal councils of the United States. likewise pronounce the anonymous letter J directed thfclhonorabjf Judge Campbell, and through him to thTdTh^rJoTlgts, £0 b® ii.tli_g.uant to our laws, the author to be an enemy to our go vern menr; afid we exhort all good citizens to feel themselves freemen, and know it to be their duty, not only to discountenance but endeavour to sup press all fucb.enornskies. y It is the request of the jury that this reply be in serted in the Knoxville Gazette.

The decrees for teele&ing two thirds of the Con vention, were yeflerday proclaimed in the fteeets of Paris, as being adapted by the majority of the people. The utmost pomp and ceremony attend ed the event : but many of the Primary Affcm- « blies, exprefled their indignation on the occasion, and fume of them considered the proclamation as 1 a calumny upon the people, as contrary to truth, 1 and, consequently, as not binding on any one. j In fadt, it is a moll incredible lnflauce of pre- I uimption, to impose the will of 160,000 (t!u? num ber of voters who have accepted the decrees) per- i sons, as a law of 25,000,000 of men.
