SI R,
IT is with great concern that we have seen any domestic
occasion for the personal interposition of your Excel
lency in preserving the peace of the city, and supporting
the necessary authority of government; and while we can
not but lament the disturbances which have arisen, and the
consequences which have ensued we have the greatest hopes
in feeing them happily terminated by your timely influence
and g®od example. Against the enemies of our country we
shall at all times receive your orders with pleasure, and o
bey them with alacrity, and in this particular inflance we
feel an affectionate attachment to your Excellency in for
bearing to lay commands upon us as officers, which, in the
character of citizens, mud have been painful to you to
have issued, and to us to have received. Sincerely do we
hope that such another occasion may never happen, and
that the mistaken zeal of one class of citizens may not be
aggravated by tue equal imprudence of others. The duty
neceffirily incumbent on the high office you are justly
honored with has, in thisd®meftic rupture, been executed
with a spirit of candor and determination, which cannot
fail to endear you to your fellow- citizens, and procure re
fpe& to the government in which you are so eminently dis
tinguished. In our several departments, both as citizens
and officers of the militia, we th ill make it our particular
duty to preserve peace and good government, and to give
you every assistance you may require, being at the fame
time fully confident, that, as far as your powers extend,
you will employ them to remedy the distresses of the
community, which we confider as the real and only cause
of the late disturbance.
