FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
This day, agreeably to public notice, a
meeting of the friends of the administration,
was held at the State House Yard, to ex
press their opinions on our national affairs.
At a little after 2 o’clock, Mr. John Steele,
in the name of the Committee of Superin
tendance, proposed General John Bar it
er as Chairman, and Frederick YVol
bert as Secretary. The nomination was
npproved of by the acclamations of an im
mense multitude—after which
Gen. JOHN BARKER took the Chair, and
Frederick YY'olbert, acted as Sec’ry.
General Barker, in a perspicuous manner,
Stated the manner in which the meeting had
been called and the proceedings prepared.
He stated, that there would be read and
submitted to their consideration, a letter to
the President of the United States, a num
ber of resolutions and an address to the Peo
ple of the United States. Mr. YY'olbert then
proceeded to read the letter to the Presi
dent, -which was approved by an unanimous
vote, as were the several resolutions and
the address to the People, all of which will
be found in the subsequent columns of our
paper.
We think we are within bounds when wc
say, there were 10,000 citizens, who, with
hearts and voices, pledged themselves to
support the administration of the general
government, and the honor, freedom and in
dependence of their country.
Democratic Tress.
TO JAMES MADISON; Eso.
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
The republican citizens of the first Con
gressional district of the state of Pennsylva
nia, conceive it will not he unacceptable to
you, as the first magistrate of a free people,
to receive the sincere assurances of their
confidence, and attachment to the principles
which Wave distinguished your political life ;
hut above all, since you have succeeded to
the choir, so happily filled, for two terms, by
a man. who it is your mutual honor to have
been unshaken friends, and who is the orna.
ment of his country and the pride of his fel
low citizens.
Tiie citizens of this district can, with the
most perfect confidence, with the assurances
of the most firm reliance on the wisdom and
integrity of your character, declare ; that
t heir hearts arc with you and their country.
And that they are prepared to partake their
full share of any perils or privations ; toper
form any portion of personal service, or vo
luntarily yield any pecuniary contribution,
that the support of the independence, honor
and interests of the happy nation over which
you preside, may require.
In common with all good men, in every
part of the Union, we have beheld with emo
lions of delight and an honest pride, the mo
deration and dignity with which national j
concerns of great difficulty have been con
ducted under your guidance; and we cannot
withhold the expression of our most cordial
approbation of your conduct, in the dismissal
of thut insolent minister, Francis James
Jackson,
Without presuming to interfere with the
rightful authority vested in the chief magis
trate, to conduct the foreign relations of our
country, your fellow citizens of this part of
the Union, think it correct to aflirm, that
they have for a long time anticipated, that
all the sacrifices made by this country to the '
spirit of peace; that all the measures ofpo
licy and negociation so honestly conducted
on your part, and that of your predecessor ;
that the earnest desire of the American go
verument, to maintain a rigid fk exemplary
neutrality, to consider all nations “in peace
friends, and enemies only in war,” that all
the forbearance from justifiable retaliation, i
and confinement to diplomatic demands of'
honest justice, would in the end prove una
vailing; and that the issue must ultimately
he to the nerves and the virtues of the ge
iteration, that has succeeded those who De
fore triumphed over the oppressor of oar
country.
What the course of policy best calculated
to unsure the best result is, we do not ven
ture to suggest; we confide in the authori
ties constituted to maintain our national
rights and independence, anJ look every
day with growing solicitude for the reino.
val of that anxiety, which is the necessa
ry effect ot fluctuating measures in Con.,
gress.
We urge the notice of the measures of
congress as a fact, that merits the serious
regard of those-who are constitutionally ap
pointed the rulers of the nation, in the last
resort.
We naturally look back upon the progress
of events,from the ye ar 17'JGto the present
♦lay, and find each succe isive year to have
produced new and aggravated grievances,
insults and outrages upon our Country,
oir fellow citizens, our property and our
Mag.
From the experience which we have had.
we cannot calculate upon a peace in Europe,
J"f many years; and looking to the progres
sive growth of wrongs, from trivial to the
mbit enormous injuries; wc ask ourselves;
and submit the consideration to you, sir, whe
ther forbearance might not become a crime,
in submitting to any further aggravating of
wronp. and insults; but above all, wc»re*
spectrally submit, whether the cuT< ct of fur
ther Mifierance, njay not lie as fatal to the
confidence of the peple in their government,
as thu nit. o.rcs that Imvc been pursued
have been rr.availing.
VVu submit it to our government, whether
men‘ ores w:uch only operate in favor of fie
. piftvity and the enemies of our country, and
to tr-e »*i«advmitHge of the virtuous n u t of
tlu cumhdndty, may not ultimately, if
persevered In, prove more dangerous to
public morals and public interest, than any
other course of measures which could be
pursued.
IVe have addressed you, sir, in the lan
Suage and spirit of a reverential affection ;
ic boldness of our address, will not, we art
persuaded, be misconstrued. We think it
full time that the whole people should declare
that they are ready to maintain, at every lia -
zard, the government of their choice, the
chief magistrate and their representatives,
who are faithful to the .independence of
the nation and its most sacred rights, amt to
express a hope, that their government will
not longer suffer them to be outraged with
impunity.
JOHN BARKER, Chairman.
Frederick Wolbert, Secretary.
TO THE PEOPLE~OF THE UNITED
STATES.
Fellow-Citizens,
Common circumstances would not jus
tify, nor do common circumstances impel
us to address you. Since the glad tidings of
peace was proclaimed throughout our land,
trom the foundation of our government, ne
ver has so momentous and critical x period,
as the present, elapsed. We have deter
mined to make known our sentiments, and
solicit you to manifest yours. Citizens of
a country we love, living under a constitution
wc venerate, having a common cause and a
common interest, common hopes and anxi
eties, we are as desirous to know your opi
nions as we are willing to make known our
own. UnANJMiTr at home in oir/t on
yEC7\ a so is The one thing needful.
Having secured that, we may laugh to scorn
the malice of our enemies and make them,
yes, the proudest of them, to tremble and
be afraid. To effect this great good, this
desirable end, we know no means so ade
quate, or so easy, as that of the citizens as
sembling in public meetings and instructing
their representatives. These are rights
which ought now, if ever, to be universally
exercised.
Wc request your attention, fellow-citizens,
while we state nomc of the motives which
have prompted us to action. In Europe one
revolution has rapidly succeeded another—
one government has been removed and an
other substituted-one monarch has been
burled to the earth, and another has assum
ed his throne-cities, towns, villages and
their inhabitants have changed masters—
hundreds of thousands of human beings have
perished in the mighty conflict ; but no
| where has the voice of the people been heard
—no where has Freedom triumphed, or
Justice, tempered by Mercy, ruled the na
tion. The eye of humanity is dim’d at the
retrospect, and the bosom of Philanthropy
heaves a sigh at the recollection of what
xlope had promised.
i sickened at the scenes exhibiting in Eu
rope, Benevolence turns towards the shores
of Columbia and excitingly proclaims “ there
rents the ho/ie of the world." We are, in
deed, fellow-cititizens, the guardians not
only of our own rights and the rights of our
posterity, but of the hopes of the whole hu
man race. How precious the trust! How
sacred the deposit! Our bosoms swell with
gratitude to Heaven, that we are this high
ly favored people ; our sinews stiffen & our
strength redoubles in the confident belief,
| that he, who iias thus distinguished us, will,
by his Gracious Providence, safely guide us
through all the perils and dangers which
may assail us.
The wars which have desolated some of
the fairest portions of Europe, have not been
unproductive of evil to the United States.
The belligerents have, hy edicts hostile to
neutral commerce, and in violation of public
law and the principles of Justice, done us
essential injury ; but those edicts, however
they might have affected our growing pros
perity, would never have excited the strung
sensations which have agitated the Ameri
can mind on another subject. One of the
belligerents has, under various and vexati
ous pretences, asserted a right to board not
only our merchant ships, but our national
ships, even in our own waters ; to muster
the crew and impress such, and as many,
as their caprice or their wants might require.
In the exercise of this tyranny, they have
outraged humanity, sported with our lives,
trampled on our honor and struck tne flag of
our country ! That fag which the proud
spirit of a Montgomery would have planted
on the walls of Quebec—That fag, before
which Jlurgoyne surrendered and Cornwal
lis capitulated—That fag, under which
Washington, Greene and many a named and
nameltss hero fought and conquered—'1'hat
fag, under which we gloriously ulchieved
Independence and secured Freedom, was by
cruelty and treachery bathed in the blood of
our unsuspecting fellow- citizens. We do not
wish to fan the flame of passion ; he who
can patiently think of the outrage oh the
Chesapeake, has neither the feelings of a
man nor the spirit of an American !
But the cup of our humiliation was not yet
full, A special minister was sent under
pretence of making atonement for the out- ;
rage committed, and his first and only pro
position was, that we should declare our
selves in the wjong, by withdrawing the
Proclamation which forbad tiie rights of hos
pitality to those who had so grossly abused
it. The proposition was spurned and the
minister who made it returned from whence
ne came.
To manifest the strict neutrality and im
partial justice of the nation, our govern
ment laid a general Embargo. It was a
wise, peaceable and provident measure ;
I but the virtue of a portion of our citizens
was not proof against the lnremcnts to
wealth, which were held out. So gross was
the conduct of the British government at
this period, that they actually issued ail or
der of council, inviting, nay offering boun
ties to our citizens to break the law of the
land. This alone was a justifiable cause of
war.
Last spring an agreement was entered in
to between our government and the minis
ter plenipotentiary of Great Britain—By
which our Embargo was raised as it res
peeted that power and its dependencies !—
On the faith ol this agreement, our ships,
freighted with provisions, naval stores anti
raw materials, to the amount of millions, sail
r.d for England-her wants were supplied,
and her government perfidiously refused to
sanction the agreement her minister pleni
potentiary had made.-She recalled the
minister who wished to lay the foundations
of ' Peace, Commeice and Honest Friend
ship/ and in his place, sent a man red with
the blood of an innocent and ui .offending neu
tral nation■ — a man who has every when
been the precursor of evil-in three words,
•lie sent Francis •famcv Jack noli. lie, even
hv., was received in the spirit of amity—but
lie, forsooth, had no apologies to teuder, no
atonements to make, no propositions to offer .
lie was willing to hear and discuss and trans
•nit——to trifle with our wrong* ami mock
at our bleeding honor-and when he was
checked in the high carefcr of insolence, he
turned short upon his heel and contemptu
ously gave our government the lie—and then
he appealed to the people to sanction his in
sult—to criminate their own government
and applaud that of the King, his mas
ter !
Citizens of the United States, let not the
appeal be made in vain ; meet and announce
; vour sentiments. If you arc base enough to
lick the foot upraised to spurn you-if ye i
are slaves enough in spirit 10 kiss the baud
which yet recks with the blood of your fa
thers and brothers-meet and unite your
efforts with those of *• the British party,”
to re-colonize these United States, and once
again become the subjects of (ieorge the
, 1 hird—hut it the Spirit of Y6 lives in your ;
; bosoms——if one drop of the blood of the he- j
i roes of that period courses in your veins,
j then will you me. t, an 1 solemnly before the
! throne of Heaven declare to defend your go_
: verninent and country, and their Indepen
dence, at the hazard ut all that is dear ini
life—nay, to cling to them even in the grasp i
of death.
The proceedings of our government, in !
! respect to foreign powers, have been so up
J right, so blameless and patriotic, and are so i
j well known to all our fellow-citizens, that |
; we deem it useless to recapitulate, and un- i
necessary to praise. It has manifested a
love of Justice and Peace, and a determiim.
tion to be strictly neutral, which, had they
! been met by reciprocal dispositions, would
have not only secured the prosperity and
happiness of our own country, but wtuhl
have smoothed the wrinkled front of war,
and meliorated its miseries. Our govern
ment have been so far from seeking cause
for war, that they have put it by when it
has obtruded itself. Our government has
been so unwilling to enter Into ‘the unpro
fitable contest,* that they have rather lin
gered behind public opinion, and moderat
ed public resentment, than hastened the
one or whetted the other. Such a govern
ment deserves to be supported, and we
pledge ourselves collectively and individual,
ly, that in itsdefence wc are most willing
to risque our ail.
The times and circumstances demand,
that we cast off all reserve, that we unbo
som ourselves freely—and we frankly con
fess that to us War appears inevitab e. We
love Peace—a long train of blessings and
comforts attend her, and we would have her
to dwell with us, if Freedom, Honor and
Indefundence did not stand fettered and in
danger. We hear their voice, and spring
from the downy couch of Peace to meet the
rugged tug of War I
War! with all thy dangers and thy evils,
thou art welcome—for thou wilt pluck up
our own drowning honor by the locks, and
once again give us ‘ our equal station among
the nations of the earth !*
Fellow Citizens, we have dkV harged our
duty-We call upon you to discharge
yours. Remember, that every individual
owes a duty to society ; and that if ever the
discharge of that duty becomes a solemn and
sacred obligation, it is so at this time.
JOHN BARKER, Chairman.
F. Wolbert, ■Secretary.
The following resolutions were then read,
and the question being taken on them seve
rally, they were carried without a dissent
ing voice :
1. Resolved, As the opinion of this meet
ing, tiiat die conduct of ttie Executive of the
United States, in treating witii the govern
ment of Great Britain, and every other fo
reign government, and their agents, has been
moderate, dignified, and such as comports
with the sincerity and good faith of the chief
magistrate of a free, neutral and independent
nation.
2. Resolved, That in the various acts of
perfidy, insult and outrage upon cur citizens,
property, flag and country, committed by
Great Britain, we see no prospect of obtain
ing justice or redress by diplomatic negoci
ation.
3. Resolved, That we consider the outrage
committed upon the Chesapeake, as an au
thorised and deliberate act of hostility, on
the part of the British government; and that
the various artifices and frauds, combined
with breach of faith and contumelious insult,
displayed by the ministers and agents of G.
Britain, constitute acts of war, calling for
immediate atonement or immediate retalia
tion.
4. Resolved, That the proclamation of the
king and privy council of Great Britain, in
viting our citizens to break me laws of our
country, was an interference in our internal
government, which would, in itself, justify
a declaration of war.
5. Resolved, That the proposition of the
British government, to enforce our laws by
its navy, was an insidious attempt to repre
sent the American government as unable to
carry into effect the laws which it passed ;
and to wheedle us into a war, to maintain
British domination on the ocean.
6. Resolved, That savage nations are just
ly condemned for murdering their prisoners ;
and the Barbary powers for putting them to
hard labor ; but it was reserved for the Bri
! tisli government to refine upon crnelty, so
far as to seize upon the citizens of a friend
I ly and neutral nation, and compel them to
| fight against and murder their fellow conn
I trymen, their friends, their fathers, and their
brothers.
7. Resolved, That in dismissing a super
cilious and insolent minister, called Francis
James Jackson, the executive of the United
States ha3 maintained the dignity of the chief
magistrate of a free and independent peo
ple, and that the great mass «f the citizens,
in onr opinion, is ready to rally under the
I national standard, whenever the Congress
shall respond to the feelings and spirit of the
people.
8. Resolved, As the opinion of this meet
ing, that looking back to the period of the re
volution, we see a strong similarity, in the
circumstances and causes of the wrongs and
injuries which we had then and subsequent
ly have suffered, and that the injuries and
insults, murdering* and plunder, the tyran
ny over our commerce, and the limitation of
its direction, without a British license, im
periously call upon our governmert, to take
such measures as may be best calculated, to
assert and secure tbc rights of the nation,
either by resistance and tne force of arms,
or by entering into engagoments similar to
those of the armed neutrality of 1780. for
maintaining neutral rights and the freedom
of the seas,
9. Resolved, That the commerce of the
United Suites ever has, and ever shall, un
dcr Providence, be conducted without a Bri
fish license, and without the protection ol
the British navy,
10. Resolved, 'IT t we recommend it to
onr representatives in Congress, to propose,
that in order to assyue the restoration of our
fellow Citizens impressed Into the British
navy, a law be enacted, authorising the sei
zure of an equal number of British subjects,
with those detained in British bondage ; to,
be treated as hostages, and put t;> useful e*n- j
ployinents, according totiieir capacities, tlu
ring their detention, or till the restoration of:
our fellow citizen*, lyi.inir.ally impressed ;
and that our representatives in Congress be
requested to propose, as a fundamental law
of thS land, a provision of the same import,
to continue to all future times, and be exten
ded to all foreign nations.
11. Resolved. That as citizens of a free
nation, having u right to expresatour opini
ons on public measures under discussion, we
do deprecate and protest against the ruin
ous, weak, and inadequate projects contain
ed in certain propositions offered to Congress
by the chairman of the committee of foreign
relations.
12. Resolved, That tl’.e militia is the, ar
my of the constitution, and the bulwark of
the republic ; and that it ought to be pro
perly organized, disciplined, armed and u
niformed.
13. Resolved, That our chairman be re
quested to transmit, as soon as possible, a
copy of the preceding address and resoluti
ons to the president of the United States ;
and a copy of the resolutions to each the
senators of this state, and the representatives
ot this district in Congress.

Eddyville—This tract fronts on the river 438
pol"s, part of the low ground, which is extensive,
is heavily timbered ; and from the quantity of
esrlh eaten by wild animals at the river bank and
sundry places in (he low ground, from mv own
view and the opinion of others, it probably con
( tins as rich a body of salt, as any yet discovered
in the slate >f Kentucky.
