The Rhode-Island Republican — Newport, R.I., 1810-03-21 00:00:00, page 3

- PELLOW-CITIZENS,
WE, the undersigned, delegates, from the
several towns in this State, to represent the
sense of the Republican Freemen thereof in
Convention, “baving met and consulted to
gether, recommend the above as worthy of
the confidence of Republicans, and of their
support, for their General Officers the year
ensuing. Having discharged this trust, we
feel it our duty, as your friends and fellow
citizens, to address you, impressed, as we are,’
with the importance of the occasion which
calls for the exercise of all vour patriotism:
and discriminating judgment.
. - There is one considevation which, in im
{)onance, swallows up all the rest, and that is
he necessity of a union, in sentiment and ac.
tion, of the National and State Government,
al the present crisis. Need we éxpatiate up
on the necessity of this union, or will those
who call themselves Federalists represent it
to you as of little or no consequence ! They
will, sheuld their langu‘uFe accord with their
actions. The standard of disorganization and
diyision is already raised, even in the Jegisla
tive hall of a-neighbouring state. Men, who
ought to have been selected for their wisdom,
discretion and patriotism, have created and
passed resolutions which were only to have
been expected from a tumultuous assembly,
infuriated with the madness of faction. = Be
hoiding these things, we are summoned to
greuter exertion, that we may hereafter ex
pevience the satisfaction which a deserved l
and well earned success will afford, or if our
National Constitution is doomed to perish,
- our National Independence to be surrended,
our National Honour trampled in the dust,
that we shall not have to reproach ourselves
with supineness, but be solaced with the re
flection, that, had our efforts prevailed, our
National Honour would have been vindicated,
our Independence maintained, and our Na
tional Constitution remained ¢ the palladiuin
of our political safety and prospemy.”
Perhaps you, may be told, that to support
the national Constitution is one thing, and to
support the measures of those who adminis
ter the national government Is another ; and
that you may suppory the one, while you are
advocating the cause of a forgign nation, in
opposition to the other. The sentiments of
Washuugton on this subject are well worthy
of observation ; speaking af the National
Government, he aays : ¢ Respect for its au
thority, compliance with its laws, acquiesance
in its measures, are duties enjoined by the
fundamental maxims of frue liberty.” That
the people have a right to discuss freely the
mecasures of Government, so far from being
denied by us, we consider as one of our most
essential privileges. But the admission of
this primciple, in its fullest extent, will nos
justify, or even excuse an opposition to the
laws or measurés of the National Govern
“ment, whether by the pcople at large, or by
the acts and resolves of State I.cgislatures,
‘The Legislature of a State is the Supreme
power o? that Stute, its werds are acrs ; like:
the Alwoighty who suid—* let there be light
and there was ligh:,” when it says—* let
there be disorganization & division,” division
und disorganization will ensve. Legislators
bave delegated powers ; they camnot act at
the same time in their delegated, and intBcir
oviginal—individual capacity. When legis
lating, they command and prescribe, and are
not citizens, collected for the cxpression of
their individual sentiments. They have no
iizhe in their delegated capacity as legisiators
of an individual State, to examine oo the
use or ahuse of those nowers which the peo
ple mav have delegnted to the President of
the United States, or to their Representa
iives in Conzress. As well may one servant,
«3sime the authasity of a master over his
fellow-servant, and call him to account for his
conduct. We theraflure siew (hese recemt

ment of our foreign relaiions : eud o pros.
vent ail intevievence of any dnaividual State,
or combination of States, the . National Cone-.
stitution has declared, (Art, I, Sec. X.) that
“ no Stute shall enter ity uny treatvy aiilance -

“ No dtaig shaily, wituout the cossent vi Cous

with a forign power, or engage in war, unless
actuelly huvaaed, or i such ininiincnt denges
as will not admit of delay.” One of the
greatest evius icsuiling from such an inter-,
ference of one or more States with the for
eign relations of the whole is, that hereby an
avenue is opened by which Jforeign i flucnge
may find its way to the life-blood of the union
and destroy all action and energy. It has m}
ly to corrapt un irvportans, sneinbesr; and-tl
whole bocy is rendered languid and mert. We
therefore exhort vou to support the adininis

powers, as you would wish-to preserve your

It is with much satisfaction that we can
call upon you to suppert your government,
not merely [rom the vbligations imposed tlﬁ'q
on you by your oaths of allegiance, and your .
duties as ciiuizens, but from considerations antl
motives which spesk with more feeling tothe -
heart. The administration £[ the )gaional
Government ia every way deserving of your
united end firm support, and of your warmest
admiration and applause. Facts have demen
struted, atonce, its desire for just and hon-"
ourable conciliation, and its determination not
to submit to inzult and disgrace. P
- When tthe late arrangement was entered
into between Mr. Smith and Mr. Erskine in
hehulf of their respective governments, Mr.
Madison became the object of‘ghlrghm. He
wasthen acquited by bis accusersof the charge
of 2rench infiuence, which was made toe fall
with an undnvided weight, upon the head of
Mr. Jefferson. It was fisely asserted that’
Mir. Jeflerson could have procured the same
terias from the Dridsh government, snd that
he hud even +ejected siuilar propositions !
The disavowal of this arrangement, by the
Biitish government, manitested the falsehood
of these assertions, and that Great Britain, so
far from being willing to offer us these terms,
would pot abide Ly an agrecment granting
themy which had been solerunly emered into
by her accredited Minister .P‘cnlpoundln,
and the conglirions of whichy on our part,bhad
been irrevakably cariied into effect !
The opposition have taken their old stand,
and again charge the administration with be-.

that the British minister did not attempt to v{ndicate

We think, if they bave any sense of feeling, or de

the conscqnences of their precipitate and unseason
:‘bl'e‘ interferance in support of Juckson, and the
Britsh government.

ol ; and asserted--that the instructions of
Mr. Erskine, were known to Mr. Smiith, at
the time of this nﬂ'wment, and that he
(Mr, Smith,) substituted other conditions, in
the place of those upon which only, Mr.
Erskine was authorized 1o treat. After being
informed to the contrary, and cautioned -
geinst such an imputation upon the honour
of the government, he persisted in this im
putation, and made known his determinayion
$0 10 do, whenever it was necessary to vindi
cate the honour of the King, kLis muster.
For this he wis dismissed, and with the
less reluctance, as it was found that he had
0o proposals to meke in relation to the revo
cation of the British Orders in Couneil ; that
his ofiers of reparation for the outrage upon
the Chesapecke were such as added insult o
injury ; and us Mre, Canning, bad informed
Mr. Pinkneyy that he was to be sent. here,
“not on wny special missiony Lt us the suc
~cessor of Mr. Erskine,” The opposition can
see no insult in the uwbove imputation, and
justiy this insolent mimster, and condemn
the Chiel Magistrate of their country, and
the man so recently the object of their (see
mingly) cordial approbation. They even as
sert that Mpr. Juckson was ?Ollclt of full
powers to terminate satisfuctorily all differen
ces between the two countries, and shat such
would have been the issue of his mission, had
he have been met in the spirit of amity, and
not have been, without a cause, dismissed !
Need we any further evidence of their total
disregurd of truth, and of their base and trai
‘torous subserviency to G. Briwin ! They
will praise Mr. Madison when they imugine
that his acts receive the approbation of the
Byivish Minisgry, but not & moment lonfrer—
