Trenton, (.Ne7o JerSeyJ Jtty 8, 1907.
SIR,
have the honor to acknowledge the
reception on the 9TH inst. of your letter and
the resolutions of the citizens of Richmond,
Manchester and their vicinities, with their
address to the President of the United
States; and which communicated to the
committee of correspondence of Trenton
Their chairman Gen Beatty, has this mo-
ment requested me to transmit copy of
their resolutions, which you will observe,
were entered into, previous to the receipt
on OF your letter. Similar resolutions to
those of Trenton, have been entered into,
and are about to be formed by the citizens
OF the principal towns in New Jersey.
1t is indeed a matter of real feIicitation,
TO witness the spontaneous flow of ind,gna-
ton and abhorrence, which is manifested,
by every person, of all parties, who bear
and honor the name of America, at the re-
Peated indignities, and particularly the late
savage violence offered cur flag and our ma :
ton, by the unlawful captivity and wanton
murder Of our seamen.
The Rubicon of forbearance is passed.
1t is impossible for me TO add. to the
zeal, with which appreciate the spirit and
patriotism of my felow-citizens, through
out the United States, on the present alar-
ming crisis of our national eoncerns--and-
to the respectful consideration,
With which,

AGREEABLY to public notice, a large
number of citizens assembled in the State
House Yard, to take into consideration the
outrage lately committed upon our coasts
by the British ship of war Leopard when
Gen. John Beatty was called to the chair,
and Maj Peter Gordon, appointed score
tarv.
Onmotion, Messrs Joseph Higbee, James
l. Wilson, and Charles Ewing, were an
pointed committee to draft and report
RESOLUTIONS expressive of the sense Of this
meeting on said outrage.
The committee soon after appeared, &
presented the following resolutions which
were twice read, separately considered,
and unanimously agreed to:
ReSolUrd, that we view with the most
lively sensations of abhorrence and jnGjgna-
ton, the wenton infringement of our nation
al sovereignty, the Unparalleled violation of
our national honor, and the cruel and law
less murder ofour fcllow-citizens, ON board
Tic frigate Chesapeake, committed by the
British vessel of war, the Leopard, upon
the coast Of the United States.
ResofUcd, that the demand Of Scamen
from on board an American frigate, where
the rights Of national sovereignty are as
full and perfect as within our territory,
was NOT less lhsoiept ana degrading, than
the subsequent acts Of OUTRAGE and violence
were Incorporate and Inconsistent with the
usages and principles of civilized nations.
ResofOed, that estccming national digni-
~ as inseparably connected with national
Independence we perceive the latter tobe
dangerously threatened in the violation of
the former-And without presuming to de-
eide upon The measures which ought 10 be
adoptedat this momcptous crisis BY govern
ment, in whose hands arc placed by the
constitution, the powers to provide for our
common defence and general welfare, we
deem Il due TO patriotism taus publicly to
cypress 20 our felIow-citiaens, TO govern
mcnt, and to the world, our deep sense Of
the injury which has been inflicted upon
our country, add our solemn determination
to give our most cordial and Jealous sup
port tothe constituted authofities in obtain
ing redress for that injury, and in main,ain-
Ing the honor OF our Gag
Virginia Argus. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1796-1816, 1807-07-18


Resolved, that the thanks Of this meeting
be given to the citizens of Norfolk for their
manly, vigorous & patriotic conduct & re-
solves upon this extraordinary emergency.
Rescued, that the sentiments of this
meeting as expressed in these resolutions,
be published in both the papers of this city,
under the signature of the President and
Secretary. .
RESOLVED, that Gen. John Beatty, Mai.
Peter Gordon, Gen. Peter Hunt, Lucius
Ii. Stockton, and Joseph Higbee, Esquires,
be appointed committee to correspond on
behalf ct this meeting, with the commit
tees of other cities and towns in the Uni-
ted States; and that said committee have
authority to call a meeting of the citizens
OF Trenton and its vicinity, whenever any
exlgency may in their opinion require it.
The meeting adjourned.
