r Alarmed with ihofe considerations,;
4 determined to leave nothing untried;
which might give energy to our ex^r,
ions, we appointed a meeting, which
was held, on Wednesday, last to take
into confederation the late Treaty.
Anxious for the awful event, our af
femblv was numerous.
Persons, of all denominations, from
the grey-head to the fchhol-boy, eon
fidered themfclves interfiled irrthe 6u
finefsef the day.
A Moderator being chosen, it was
motioned, that e<rry article of the
Treaty. Should be read and difeuffed,
foperately, previous to the adoption, or
rejection of any one article. Thia mo
rion was no sooner made thin seconded
by many, and as soon opposed by a,
liany. "1 second the motion"—" I
• ibfea," was th, general cry, till the
tumult became f<> great, no one knew
whether he were heard or not. At
length despairing of fucceft,and weary
with cabal, their clamor ceased.
By this time, they were disposed to
be a little more deliberate in their pro
ceedings. Said an old farmer, we have
a fineconftbution ofour own framing.
I know not that we can have a better;
if however, we have tested too much
authority in our President, or if he have>
assumed more than the conftiiutron al.
lows him, which I date not affirm, both
wisdom and prudence di&ue, that we
feck redr«fs in a constitutional manner.
Solthink, fir, said a y<ung school
boy. We ought to remember the Pirtf
burg scrape, ahd the Chaise frolic,
said a third;! have the folleft confidence
in the wisdom and patriotjfm of our be
-lloved p Prefidept ; and, Although I am
not perfefth pleated wim the whole of
the Treaty, 1 dare prefurtie, he has all
things considered, a&ed a judicious
part. I fiocercl, believe him influen
ced by love to bib country, and the
good of mankind- A fourth flatted up
—as for the genuine patriotic spirit,
which heretofore, I have thought reign
ed in the breast of our Ptefident, I
know not what has become of it; and
the Senators, bow do we know that they
aim at the public weal ?—lmmediately
4 tumult arose again ; and their voices
- prourifcuoully echoed no Treat,l4 am
for the Treaty—no President, no gov
ernment, but the will of the people—!
am for government, and will die to
maintain it.
The Moderator, impatient to know
the worff, called for order. Another
motion was made; viz/ro reject every
article of the Treaty, without reading;
or any further consideration of it. The
motion being seconded, the vote was
, called; when it appeared, that one
half, only, dared vote against the trea
ty. The moderator being decidedly
get the treaty, made the following
fpeechw— ..^'t'?.
Gentlemen, fellow citizens ; howev
er just the Treaty may he ; and howev
er wife therzecutiye of rhef- United
States may have been, in ratifying the
fame, I perceive, many Well disposed
citizens are against it,[ ^pretend not,
that they are all able to comprehend
onghalf of it • but, I fee it leads to
confufion among ourselves. This is a
greater evil than to be feperated from a
foreign nation , I, therefore, declare
my vote against the treaty.
!] , Now, Messrs. Printers, if you oppose.
Our career, you do it at yoor peril. We
are determined to carry otir j^oint a-;
gainft the Treaty, and even against gov
ernment. Signed,

THE Treaty by some has been con-
fidered and br others, perhaps ridicu
led, without confidcring it, and by ma-'
ny applauded, before they had seen its
but as it is not my view to go. particu
iffy into the confideratiou of it, ~I
would with only to observe, generally,
^that mankind beirgMwafa, ui a greater
or less degree, actuated from / felfifh
motive,, tnev vary in political opin
ions, as their fitnations in life are chan
ged, To evince the truth of which,
j will you turn-out attention for a mq-
: ment, and look back to the time when
:the Conftitutior of the United States
;was under confederation, and ctfhfider^
I the characters, and also the very per
[fons, who were its principal advocates,-
, and who declared that in case it were
!not adopted we should be involved in
ruin. That time, the evil of whi<&
they now complain was by many boil
est people forefi en, and also many other
evils of which they have yet to be con-y
vinced. Bur the sass, perhaps is that
fthev had large quantities of paper secu
rities on hand, which coftthem little
or nothing and which, that time, might,
bare caused them to fee the worth and
value of the Condituriou—when it had
produced them one or two large har
vefttf, I presume, had the qu ftion been
again taken, " shall it be accepted,"
they would have said nay, and they
would with one accord have been for a
new one, or perhaps none—At the com
mencement of the late unnatural war,
with Britain, it was for the intereg of
those very men, that it ihould take place
herefore, though it if by many fao
that the ratification of the Treaty will
be a means of continuing a lifting peace
between die two narions; lam of op
pinion that if the fame kind of mtn
continue to govern the operation wiU
be directly the reverse. ,
