Mr.. Crundy moved and laid on the table
the following refoluticp. viz.
In General 4genbiy.
Whereas it is contidcred of importance that
citizens living under the fame government
fhould be correctly informed of TIE views and
intentions of every perfon in the community; &
az the fentiments of the people Of Kentucky
may be mifunderftood b thoie who, from their
remote htuatiou, have not an opportunity of
Judging of the difpolition which the citizens of
this Rate entertain towards the general govern
ncnt; and as an exprefiion of the public will
through their Representatives is deemed the
mott efcetual mode to prevent any mifappre-
heDhon of our fentiufents, which might be &C.
cafoned by the conduct Of individuals, or
might grow out of INTERPRETATION
RfJdiped, Therefore, by the general afIem-
bly,, that the people of Kentucky feel the ftrong-
Ell attachment to the federal government and
ccntider the difmemberment of the union as
the greateft evil which could hefal them, and
would view with adherence any individual or
fet OF individuals, who fhould attempt TO fepa-
rate us from thofc whofe interelts are 10 init
mately connected with our own, AM, for whom
the people of kentucky entertain an unchange-
able attachment arifing from lively recollc6t.
on Of their unitcd efforts for liberty.
RfJoived, That the people of Kentucky have
entire confidence in the prefent administration
3 ut the general government, and have no doubt
that fuch meafures will be purified as arc beft
calculated to ftcvre US peace and tranquility,
and at the fame time preferve our national ho-
nor from infult.
ReioS1td. That the governor of this tate be
requefted to trapfinit copies Of the foregoing
resolutions to the Prefident of the u. S. to the
executives Of the different fates. and to our
'preient fenators and Representatives in Con-
