They were, however, viler tits !Allure of a motion_ by Mr.. &Aga to aver diem, • iitioptcd without a,disenting vote. rtlle lawles s /ntildtncle, tea the tenEdente of cotim . ig. +dotted officers. In such a state the Civil Magistrate finds an excuse for his inaction or a veil for his cor ruption. Ihe sober citizens, who tremble ha behold ing the fury of the mob, seek refuge from its dangers by joining in its acclamations. The laws are silenced. New objects of violence are discovered. Dangers be sets all men'of all parties in succession. ",The Government of the Nation and the Mob Government, change places with each other. The accessary becomes the principal. The Mob erects its. horrid crest over the ruins'of Liberty, of property, of thellomestic relations of life, and of civil institutions; i. until satiated or fatigued with slaughter, it resigns its bludgeons and its pikes at the feet of a dictator, and raised its bloody hands to worship some god of i its idolatry, to whose more tolerable despotism all ranks of men become ready to submit. 1 " When it is considered that this country passed through a revolution, involving its dearest rights, without a singlc instance of ferocious and sanguinary excess on the part of the people, thereby affording a memorable proof of their moral feelings, their virtue, nd enlightened character ; and when it is also con sidered that the present unhappy war, so repugnant to the wishes and feelings of an immense majority of native citizens, does not iniolve interests in any de gree comparable with those which were at stake in our revolutionary war ;. it is derogatory and incon sistent with the American character, that in the com mencement of such a war, excesses should be corn. mitted-which the virtue of our citizens would not endure in a crisis when our liberties were in danger, and our country actually occupied and invaded by standing arrrties. We are, therefore, compelled believe, that the outrages at Baltimore were instigat 'ed by foreigners, who, in their (ran country, have been familiarized to similar scenes, and that French emissaries are the principal agents, and the few de luded natives who joined them are merely instru mentt in their hands. . 1 While these alarming scenes in a sister state ex cite in us grateful emotions towards the ALMIGHTY DISPOSER of human events, for the quiet, peace, good order and unanimity which we are permitted to enjoy, it behoves us to exercise becoming vigilance for . the preservation of these blessings. Although a vast majority of the people of this town and vicinity are deeply impressed with a love of order, and a horror of mobs, we ought to have too much knowledge of the human character, and too intimate an acquaint ance with history, not to know, that a few unprin cipled assassins may endanger the peace and lives of thousands of the well-disposed citizens. While such , wretches who, under the cover of night, attempt their enterprizes, are organized, united and systematic, the peaceahle,citilens, unarmed and unconscious of danger, are without system, and without plan, until ; the scaling ladders of the mob are at their windows, 1. and their torches at their doors: Therefore 66 Resolved, As the sense of the inhabitants of this town : that the late horrible proceedings hi Balti— more, in first deliherately demokhing a free press, and the house in which it was established ; the repeti tion of the attick after a long intetval ; the violation of the prison, which has ever been considered a sanc tuary bob for the innocent and guilty ; and the bar ban us masacre of one or more citizens there con , fined, for no other offence thairhaving defended their 'own dwelling, and the freedom of the press, after the civil authority had neglected and refused to protect t them, merits the most unqualified censure, and estate firth the most alarm.ng apprehensions for the inter nal peace of our beloved country. 66 Resolved. That while we are not disposed to an , unreasonable- jealousy of the constitutional authori ties, nor to itripte to our rulers without full proof, an indifference to the rights of the citizens ; we can not regain from expressing our regret, that the Pre- , side nt of the Minted States, in whose vicinity, and ; for the pretended support of whose measures, the ex- 1 cesses were committed, has-not-thought - proper to interfere in any known mode for their suppression; especially as the interdiction of shipments by the ' rioters, and other outrages, are violations of the laws ' of the United States, and as the influence of his h;gh , station would probably not have been slighted by tiese pretended supporters of his authority. We still ' confide in. the hope, that the President will not think it incompatible with his high station to express his slits" approbation of these enormities. i' -Resolved, That we are alarmed, astonished, and confounded, to find that a paper, publi 'lied at the I seat of Government, and which is understood, on some occasionsoo be its organ, not only led the way o to these'scenes of confusion, got his impliedly ap proved and justified them, and that while no men tion was made of this late horrible massacte, in which the blood of our oldest revolutionary officers flowed 1. in. the streets of Baltimore, a severe commentary) was issued in that paper against the spitited ad dress of a Republican Magistrate•of New-Yolk, be-, cause he expressed his abhorrence of Mobs. We will not admit the conclusion which these facts would . seem to warrant, that these Mobs are not discoun- I tenanced by the Executive of the United States. We would rather consider them as of French origin, and the first fruits of the unnatural and•dreadful alliance ; into which we have entered in fact if not in form. • •6 Resolved, l'hat it is the duty of every good ci- I tizen, without d;stinction of party, to furnish himself; with suitable arms and equipments, and to hold him- . self ready at a moment's warning, to protect and sopport the Magistrates and Sheriff of this County, in suppressing every species of riot, tumult, or un- , lawful assembly, whate'ver may be the political opil nions of the persons against whom the same are ob jected; and that the Hon. Daniel Sergeant, Hon. John Coffin Jones, Major William Sullivan, Colonel Henry- Sargent, Joshua Davis, Esq. Major Charles Davis, Capt. John cotton, Capt. Henry Purkettf. .Capt. Ozias Goodwin, Major Joseph Tilden, Colo.; nel George Sullivan, and Capt. Jonathan Chapman, 'be a Ciwimittee, to prepare ankles of association for', this purpose ; and to cause the same to be offered for 1 signature to every citizen of the town ; and to do whatever may be further necessary to carry into ef fect the object of this resolution. . 1 “: Resolved—That the said committee be. desired fotthwith to cause to be assigned alarm posts for each volunteer or other company of militia, and to fix and publish the signals of alarm, and to communicate the 1 same to the Sheriff of this county. , 4 Resolved—That the Selectmen of the. town of Boston be, and they hereby are requested to take all proper and legal measures, which may, in their opi. am°Ltivtotra k . the inhabitants Of the town of Bostonhave learnt, with heartfelt conceftti that in the city of Baltimoie, a moss outrageoui attack s the result of deliberate com binatioo, has bear ixadz upon the freedom of Op:--j Ilion and the Liberty of the Press: A infuriate mobl , has succeeded in accomplishing its sanguinary pur poses, by the defortiction of printing presses and of other property; by pulling down buildings that were Merely leased to the conductors ,of those presses ; by violating the sanctuary of dwelling houses ; breaking Open the public prison, and dragging forth from the protection of the civil authority, tht,yictims of their ferocious pursuit, guilty of m) crime but the expres sion ortheir opinions ; and completing the tissue of their enormities, by bruises; wounds, and murders, accompanied with the most barbarous' and shocking indignities. *ln the circumstances attending the origin, tbe fargress and the catatrophe of this bloody scene, we discern, with painful emotion, not merely an aggi a. 'elation of the calamities of the present unjust and rui nous war, but a prelude to the - Cissolution of an free government, and the re-establishment of a reign of terror. It is, besides, marked with a strong resem blance t o the early excesses of the French Revolt:i t", wren opinion -was punished with death, and when mobs were employed in the breaking open of prisons and the sacrifice of many innocent persons who songht protection within their walls. Mobs, by. ...reducing men to a state of nature, defeat the object of every social compact. They are equally dange. rous to the goernments they attempt to subvert, and to those which v condescend to court their support, and tonnive at their outrages. But of all mobs, those which volunteer professedly in support of government. are the most to be dreaded, unless their assistance is openly and promptly rejected. By accepting, or evert tolerating such dangerous allies,.it becomes manifest that a government darts not confide in its own strength, or in the unbiassed approbation of the peo ple. Opposition is discouraged by the violence of such a mob, because it assumes to represent and en force the will and pleasure of government, and the banditti, who unreproved and uncontradicted, load ntcnt, he nice - nary foi the preservation of the Oibila order and tranquillity 'of the town: " Resolved—That we sincerely condole with ilia good people of Baltiinore and Maryland, upon the loss of those highly respectable citizens who have I fallen victims to the unhallowed fury of a foreign snob. We consider theni Martyrs in the cause of Liberty ; and to the survivors We offer an asylum from the rage of foreigners, and our assurances of cO - with them in any measure to save our entry.M " Resolved—That those outrageous proceedings are, in our opinion, attributable to the present wan ton, impolitic, and unjust war ; and are, we fear, but a prelude to greater evils justly to be apprehended ; and that we perceive no refuge from destruction; but in a change of our present rulers ; and that we are ready to support in the elections of public officers, all those who are advocates for peace, without dis tinction of party. " Resolved, That while we abstain from all uncon stitutional measures, we will maintain and exercise the freedom of speech and of the Press, until our latest breath, undismayed by the frowns of power, the glitter of arms, the threats of placemen, or the violence of mobs. " PROCLAMATION, " By his Excellency ROGER GRISWOLD, Esq. Gover vernor and Commander in Chief in and over the State of Connecticut, in America : " This State with the other States in the Union having, since the last Session of the General Assem bly, been involved in war, and no opportunity yet afforded to make a communication to the immediate Representatives of the people ; feeling that an event so unexpected and calamitous may produce great anxiety, and that the proceedings of the Governor and Cotmcil on certain subjects arising out of this war should be known to their fellow citizens, I have thought proper, by and with the advice of the Coun t cil, to issue this proclamation. Its pursuance of the ussage of my predecessors in office in times of difficulty, I have caused the Council to be twice convened since the declaration of war, in both instances to advise with them respecting i the course to be pursued on cert tin requisitions of the National Government through General bearborn, for certain portions of the Militia to be placed in the forts at New London and New Haven. The advice I given in both cases met my entire approbation, and accordingly a compliance with the requisition has been by me refused. It is the high and solemn duty of' the Chief Ma gistrate, according to his oath of office, ,to "maintain ! the lawful rights and privileges of this state, as.a so vereign, free, and independent state." oi • " This duty forbade a compliance with a request that any of the citizens of this state should be placed, under existing circumstances, in garrisons to perform the ordinary duty of soldiers. It is also the preroga tive of the state to hold its militia for maintenance of its lawful privileges, and never to permit them to be withdrawn from its authority, except in cases ex ! pressly mentioned in the Constitution. No such case existing, the officers and soldiers have not been or-I dered from their farms and other occupations, and from their homes, into the service required. While. it is to be regretted that any difference of opinion et isted as to the cases in which the militia might be de manded, it became my duty to obey the Constitution of my country. . " In a state of things so novel as that wine. now, exists—in the interesting crisis of war with a foreign !nation, wherein the property, the security, the liberty and lives of the people are jeopatdized, te war which 'was opposed by so much talent, worth and respect ability in both houses of ccngress, it might have been 'anticipated that the justice and expediency of the measure would have been questioned and denied by many :, still no such state of things exists as to jus tify the idea of seeking redress, except in a constitu tional manner. • " I do, therefore, call upon the good people of this state to demean'theinselves, in this day of unprece dented difficulty, as becomes the members of a free and independent nation—to promote concord among themselves—to vield a prompt obedience to the con stitution of the United States, and the laws made in pursuance thereof—to 'cherish the union of these states—to discourage every species of outrage to wards the rights of person or property—to discoun tenance every appearance of menacing the lawful autiiStity of the state and nation, and to promote a spirit of submission to the laws of the lard. thr - . 1(7;0A Witt tiOkirl'A • stv , • • Airtved on Tuesday the Crawford, AdNitte, fAtil QUebee, in 31 days.
