the United States.
SIR,„
THE inhabitants of the county
of Greene, and town of Greenville, in
the state of Tennessee, deeply impressed
with the truly critical and alarming
fouation of their country, take the lib
erty of addre fling a few observations to
their Chief Magistrate on the fubjeft
In every Republican Government; ft
becomes the sacred duty of free and
independent citizens, underfimilar cir
cumstances, to step forward, and with
candid firmnefs, to express their senti
ments. Although far distant from the
feat of Government and protested by
the beneficent hand of nature, from the
immediate oppressions of the tranfatlan
tic.powers, yet as citi^ns of the Union,
possessing a common interest in the hon
our and independence of their country,
they participate in the feelings of their
ibrethren in the pattern and Atlantic
States. The indulgent hand of an alk
wife Providence is eminently traced
ia the innumerable advantages atteu
iding oar local fixation- To America,
it was given to enjoy at the fame tishe,
iche cheering fruit, of ioduftrious com,
mercc, and th, domestic sweets of
j P^^ Agriculture. In our commerce i "
and scuhure, contigs the Wealth and ?
I 1 Union. Although we
; 1 ^ uc not engaged in the pur-,
b> s *c i.uroe,, yet we are interest- c<
'ib^lhift who are rtf •
\fof-d'y ben% ally the proceeds Jf
^culture. Ar. attack b, the ruthless n
I«nd of foreign r wer on either interest, p
is di&uaiveolthe Common weal, and'
threatens out exigence, as a Free and "
Independent People. That France has ©
loft tight lof tNe purfoits of national lib- \ t i
erty=—ihat she has for several years ri- q
oted on the spoils of our lawful com
merer —:hat foe has imprisoned our fel
low citizens-—that foe has treated with!
piratical barbarity our American sea- (
men^~:hat (he h^s twice intuited and j
rejected with indolence and contempt, v
our messengers of peace—that ffie is *
now exciting a savage foe to ravage our'
peaceable frontiers— -that the has fob- ]
jugated to her tyranny, a great part of
'Europe, and it now. threatenipg A
irraiex with the scourge o r tier d<fy o -<
tifm ? is a fobjed of our deepest regret. c
But, while it occasions our regret, it'
cxci:es our indignation. Oar fore-fa- 1
theri Eave purchased Independence, '
with their richest blood and treasure. '
The precious inheritance, will not be
igfominioufly furrer.dered by their ;
f^s. It affords us the highest fatisfic- t
non, that your infractions to our En
voys, were candid, liberal, and mild,
and indicative of a wife and pacific pol
icy. It does honour to our Minivers,
that the/ acted in conformity to the (
fame. They ought to have been " re
ceived, refpe&d, and honoured, as the
raprefenCTives of a Great, Free, Pow
/y!, ^nj Independent Nation."
whatever calculation may have been
m%le by oar enemies, of having friends|
inrAmerica, and suggestions that those
friends were in the weftern country";
we assure yon, Sir, our confidence re
mains unabated, in the Administration
of our Government, and that we are
usanbnnu* in the reflation, to defend
the Conftitutian, the.Laws,the Liberty,
and independence of our country.
We .cannot conclude this address,
without, expreHing our heanfeh grati
tdle, on the appointment of GEORGE

regret, that the virtuous and enlighten

fhbuid difeover so little regard for their
dearest rights—so little regard forth,
