AMERICAN MEETING.

We are about to lay before our readers the bro
eeedngs OF the public meeting, held in this city yef
eerdsy, which convey to the world the fentim.ns Of
reenen' at tins momentous crifs, in manner and
in language that do honor to our country
Inc eoncourfe of citizens, which Attended on ebi.
ocoaiion, exceeded in numbers any that has merriam
ever been before witneled in America; from fix 70
zen theuiand perfons have been mentioned as havinp
oeen PreieHt, and we fhall probably be correct by
Hating the number at about tx thoufand
ne number, however, was the leaf diflinguilhng
.siuence OF the ardour Of the people the counts
Oh all exhibited at once anxious folici,ude and
ehthuiiaitIo hrmnsfs there was no longer dilipGi
on OF parties local party objects were wholly e1
eiaoeo from rejection; and even perfoaai and pri-
prejudice were overcome, in the hyperion claim,
Oh uhan'mity and confidence. Thofe who had here.
'oi're arrayed thenelves in expedition to each other
Oh the grounds of political controversy, met and
we're emulous in giving efea to the true Object. of
ahoeiation. We record it with pleafure and with
pride, that the eye of the Granger could no where
have difcerned any other feelings or conduct, than
ipeh as the welfare and honor of the nation demand
ed.
Nor can ffop here, and proclaim no other en-.
eomium upon this meeting. Great as were its nsm
oer', and dininguiAed as was their patrotilm, tb.
good order and digniied moderation which prevailed,
were above all confPicueus; giving at once an evil
dence OF honorable difcretion, aud refcuipy fire..
and enlightened people from the reproach of turbu
ience, which has 70 often been Represented as the in
evi'able reful, of popular aGembli.s. In no other
country perhaps, 70 large semblage ever been
collected on ordinary locations, which ieparated in
10 creditable manner; how much more honorable
then, at time when outrages committing againft
tne honor OF the nation and the lives and properties
OF its eitizsns. The meeting held, we mie fay,
IN front OF the houfe the Britif conful yet, there
was not word, not action, that could have given
offence or have reflected upon the nation a conf
meDtary upon the eondsa of his government, the
mott honorable to ourfeves, the moft nftruive to
our opPrefTors.
When the refolutions, which follow, had been a.
doPted by the unakinous acclamatons of thoufaud,
OF freemen, two pertinent and excellent addrefIe,
were delivered to the meeting; one by Mr.. WALTER
franklin, the other by MIR. RICHARD Rssa-ths
appreciation with which they were received, was e.
Vineed by the Peals of joyous and patriotic appaufe
and exsitaton, which rung from every quarrer-
heir ientimeDts were Worthy of 70 and were ref
pointed in that epthufafiic and manly manner which
10 honorably dil.inguhed the era of American inde
pendence. I,rou,
