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.

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.
Unanimously agreed t0,,,

A motion was made that the house do come to
the following refolntion :
Rcfohrrd, That the motives which influenced the
President of the United States (o ratify the treity
lately negotiated with Great Britain meet the en
tire approbation of this house and that the Presi

And said resolution being again read, and a moti

That he Hor.fe do entertain the highefl sense
of the integrityard patriotism of the President of

vote of the Senators of this state inthe Congress of
the United States relative to the treaty with Great
Britain they in no wife mean to censure the motives

Approaching important Crifts at Paris.
PARIS, September 26.
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. The Parti- f
fans of the Convention, thus, donot exceed 160,000, <
and amongthefe mufl be reckoned the terroritls who v
have been lately fst at liberty. c

fed to transfer the lent of the Co vention, to fur.n
