As Errand could not domineer Ireland mored-f
pr.Mcally than it did through the Irifh parliament, peo

NEW-YORK BLOCKADED.
It wjs tlie rape of Ijirrettn, which can fed
the rxpnlfion of the Tarqnin* of Rome. It w is
the hlood of the innocent Virginia, which work
ed the definition of tlie Decemvir*. May the
innocent Mood of John Pierce excite our coun
trymen, not to avenge our wrongs by Mood,
hut to .iffert our mo(l folcrnn rights, violated
hy Britifli outrage. This man is a martyr of
the Hririlh tyranny on the fea ; may his name
never be forgotten, until the Britifli fliall be
taught to refpet the l ights of jurisdiction and
the live* of our countrymen ! !
In va:n does Great-Britain complain of our
unrelenting revenge toward i her. In vain does
Ihe point to the wrongs, which fhe committed
during our revolution, asthe only fources ofour
relent ment againfl her. In vain will flic expert
us to nurture the milk of kindnefs in our bofoms,
when her whole conduct towards us difplays
the mod flagrant violation of onr rights. Some
times flic imprt lies our feamen : Sometimes fhe
arrefts and condemns onr vefTets, employed in
lawful trade : At other times, Ihe blockades our
harbours, and now fhe has flained our very
threfhold with the blood of our countryman.
If they henceforth expect us to be their
fr ends, they muft punifli this memorable out
rage upon our rights. They mull call the mur
derer before tbeir tribunals i.f jnflice, or thev
muft deliver him up to he tried bv our; own
laws : And furely in a cafe, where the Britifli
b »ve fo much plumed themfelves upon the per
fection «f their courts, they will not hefitate to
do ns juftice. They executed governor
Wall for his inhuman punifliment of a foldier.
Wilhin the laft few months they have found
genenl PiCton guilty of inflicting the torture at
'1 rinadad : Let them know thit the hlood of
John Pierce cries aloud for the punifliment of
commander Whitby and of his murderer.
Let the Britifh beware of prefling thefe ng
greflions too far ! There is a point of endu
rance, beyond which the patience of the Ame
ricans cnnnt/t follow them. We will (brink
from a war whofe principal object is to defend
onr rightful carrying trade; or to prevent the
imprelfment of our feamen. For nggrefiions
J like thefe, we think it fuflicient to impofe
j form* partial reflriCtions upon their rommerce.
| Rot let them purfue their pipfent infnlting fyf
♦em of blockading onr harbours; violating our
i jurifdiCtion and murdering our countrymen ;
l 'On wil! the indignation of our country funply
more effectual means of red refs. Mr. Ran
l*»!ph lately recommended an e>nbnrir». R’it
the feelings of the country were fcarcely ripe
1 ir fuch a decifive meafiiec. One was laid in
179H ; but the clamours of the people foon
can fed it to l.e taken off. Tlie fiirit of
the nation was not then fuflieiently ex
cited, and it i; not novj. But thou! 1 thefe
Hn ilh aggr.flions confinut, we fliall he pre
pared to make every facrifire in the defence
of oar rights. We fliall not then (brink from
a non importation aCt with refpeCt to (5. Bri
tain; nor even will we any longer clamor about
the ennf-queners of mi embargo. Either
of thefe meafurcs would rcdur.eilie Britifli W.
I India colonies to a Rate of Famine : either
would mofl probably have the defired eftcCl up-1
on Creit-Bntain. Should they all however fail j
iii t eitdefign ; fliould there be no other re-I
riige th. n war; a little time longer, and a lit - ^
tie more infult, andthefpirit of our country-!
men will (|y to that alternative.—This is not
idle oO.nhaft. Let any man mark the fplrlt '
that now area!lies in our public prints ; let him
mark the indignation, which animates every
man who '.peak*, on this fubjet ; and he will
foon perc ivrthat the Blockade of N. Y. and the
j Uoflon I’vtr; Bill are not more .alike in their con
11> quences t.a.an in the fpwit which they produce.
It was to have been hoped, that in a cafe of
f ich great national feeling, m^n wou! I have
! rifen sbove a'l the pique and felfiflmefs of par
ity. It was iVfirable that a qneflion which af
f. tetj toe wh ile nation fliould have been made
t'-e c<inff of tie na*ion; that the Britifli govern
ment fliould have found tis unanimous in our
refolves, and that none fliould have been en
tered into, which would not have united the
continent. But what has been the conduct of
the fedrrdifls o‘ N. York on this momentous
occafion ? Look it the refr.lution.s propoftd bv
Rnfiis King, Gi ver Wolcott and the reft of
die federal committee. In dead of fpeaking
the voice of the pi-op’e, they breathe «he «Jif
contented language of their party. They have
converted this que;\ioii oi great national con
cernment into a fnfpicious inflrument for tin*
accoinplifliment of their own contemptible
purpofes. loralmtfl every arrow that fheyj
have launched at the Britifli government, they
have direted one agair.fl their own. Theyfeem !
proud tnat the misfortunes of their country have
given them an opportunity of indulging tlieir in ve-'
t« ra'e fpleen ag tinfl tlie adminiftration. Was j
this tlie conduct to hate been expeted from
high-minded patriots?
But of what have the}] pnttiots complained ?
Among other curious charges, they Hate that
the admtniHra ton conlints to pay money to
avoid foreign iufolence but will' the reader
believe that there is any degradation in buying
a country from an indeprndant nation, which
is client ial to our peace ?-They charge the
prefent ad niniftration with “felling and dif
m intling i's naVal force,” when they ought
to recollect that it was their own party who
p.flVd the law f„r difpofing off.me of onr flops
(,t war.—They fay it “ ig a grofs neglect” in the
prefent adminiftrafirln “ to fuTer foreign armed
(hips to fta'io'i th.n fdvcs off oar htrbors,”
when it is obvious that this danger could not
have been apprehended at the prefent time,
and no precautions c&uhl have been expected
from onr government, on account of the l.tc
favourable change in the Britifh miniftry, when
IS obvious that the patent admfoiftntinn h is
"° 'fucs had time to drip etch anv frigates to
that port, even if it Ind the authority to do
fo ; and fro n the previous con In ft of Mr. Jef.
ferton we have no reafoii to expert th it every cf.
fort will he employed to recover our property &
avenge our murdered countryman. It i« im
pofi:h!e from tlie vafl citent of ourcoiH, to
hunt a naval force adequate to its proteflion
it all times, and hi every point. No a bnm f.
'ration could poiubly c.olleci fucha force in the
pnfent infantine Hate of our niton. But it
•.vid t.e recollected tint during the lift year,
tm prefeat-executive fent the II rnett ro drive
off two French picaroons from Chirlt flon. It
wi'lbe fern, however, that the prefect is adi .
lercnt eafr from tint. In that inflancc tiny wrre
private armed velfela that came within our ju.
r.fdiftion ; but in the prefent, they are public
armed vefltl*. We have no doubt, however
that in both cafes we hive aright todtf id our
criafis ; and we are certain that if there is ^ f„f.
fl;! ,r1f'c'n rtA linel’. to meet the iquadron
°“ ^e'v-‘ork, Mr. JJLrfon will employ it to
the heft efleft. 1
I-vt m, liirret difmifsfrom fudi a oaf. all
ottr party feelings; but at the faun time let us
txpis.s our ju.'t i..dilution, in the publ c
HMnW M lie heM |
throughout the continent: The public fenti-I
ment (hon'd be every where embodied.
May we nrefume to fubmit the following fe
ries of rtfo> itions, .as embracing fome of the
prinripa* fo’ itt which defcrvetobe noticed by
thef.* meetings ?
ReftIveJ, Tint we have hitherto cpnfidered
thelj. States and G. Britain as (landing in the
relations of peace -and not of war ; but that we
know not how to draw a fatisfaftory diftinftion
between the fituation of Cadiz and N.York ;
between the conduft of a Britilh fquadron that
blockades our ports under the hollow preten
tions nfa peace or after the formal declaration of
a war.
Refolved, That even upon the high feas the
firing into a merchant veil'd without federal
previous notices to bring her to, would be a"
violation of one of the eftablifhed rights df a
neutral vcflel and.that in cafe the life of one of
the crew be fierificed to fnch a wanton violati
on of neutrality, that aft could be confuiered
as nothing lefs than murder ; hut fl’.ouhl an aft
of this kind be perpetrated within our own ju
rifdiftion.il limits, where the arms of a foreign
nation (hould never be heard but for the purpo
fes of fdlivity Sc peace, that it becomes a mur
der of the moll aggravated degree.
Refolved therefore, That the conduft of the
Britiftj blockading fquadron olT New-York, is
an unprovoked violation of the rights of peace
and of the rights of neutrality, equally difgrace
fitl to the nation that would tamely fubmit to
them, and to the government who would order
or who would fufFcr fuch aggrefTions to be com
mitted by its officers.
Refolved, That the eaufe of the city of New
York, is the eaufe of all America.; that it in
volves principles which intimately concern eve
ry American, whatever place he may inhabit or
to whatever party he may he attached ; that if
is not the eaufe of federalift or republican but
of an American in heart and in fentiment ; and
that it is highly improper to mix queftions of
fuch great national concernment with any
local or party confederations.
Refolved, That the citizens of N. York who
intercepted the provifiona deftined for the life
of the blockading fquadron and who attended
their fellow citizen John Pierce to the grave,
have deferved well of their country. Refolved
\at the fame time, That by refpecting the r ghts
of hofpitality and the privileges due to the con
fnl of G. Britain and by abllaining from all forts
of violence towards tlie perfons and property
of Rritifii fuhjefts, they have fhewn an exam
ple of magnanimity not lefs worthy of imitation
and praife, than the example offentibility which
they have difnl lyed.
Refolved, That the mayor and Corporation
of New-York be moft refpeftftdly informed of
the deep intrrell which we take in their prefect
fituation ; that cue feel the fame fpirit and in
dignation that they feel ; our blood not lefs
violently boils in our veins, when our imagin
ation pretents us with the Itfelefs body of our
murdered countryman, than when he lay a
bleeding corpfe before the eyes of N. York;
t hat cur feel with not lefs abhorrence than they
tell, the imprefTment of our feair.cn, the cap
ture of their vefl'els and the hoftile firing of
arms within the very precincts of their harbor ; j
anil that we will unite with them in any mea- i
fore confident with the contlitution and laws ;
of our country* which may* obtain redrefs for
thefe outrages and prevent their repetition.
Refolved, That a committee be appointed
t.j correfpond with the relations of our
countryman John Pierce, late a faman in
the (loop Richard of Brandywine aud now a
l murdered viflim of Britifb inhumanity ;
[to enquire whether he his left behind him a
I wife, children or friends who. will f.iffer by h:9
; death ; and to receive contributions from cve
; ry man who feels difpofed to relieve their dif
, trcfTesor educate his fatherlcfs children.
