their affairs which has been brought a
bout by the multiplicity OF great and
important changes IN Europe, aad by
the measures pursued by our own go

Europeau powers, and the effects which
will naturally result from the measures

lowing resolutions, which were unani-
mousY adopted.
While we deplore the fate of our fellow
citizens, who were murdered OF board the

emotions of indignation with which our

point beyond which insulted freemen can
not 50, without proStrating their own honor,
and the dignity OF their country. That cri-
SIS has at length arrived and we rejoice TO
see the spirit of the nation ready 10 revenge
its wounded honor.
Resolved therefore, that we most cheer
fully unite with our fellow citizens who have
preceded us in expressing their sentiments

port the government of our beloved country
IN all such measures as in its wisdom, il

norable Feparation.
Resolved, that the Grm and patriotic spi-
rit with which the citizens Of Norfolk,
Portsmouth, Richmond, Petersburg & their
Vicinities, have resented the outrage com
mitted upon the sovereignty and dignity Ct
our country highly merits and receives The
warmest applause Of this meeting.
Resolved, that a copy Of these resoluti.
ons be sent 20 the president Of The United
States; to the governor Of this state and
