teach the lawless Britons that the rights
and liberty we achieved in childhood,
we are able, and WILL support now that
we have arrived to manhood. As you
have all, no doubt, read and heard the
particulars of this lawless transaction, 1t
is unnecessary for me further to dilate
on the subiect.-Owing to some failure
in the mail from Richmond, have but
lately received the Lieutenant-Goyer-

The resolutions adopted by the citi-

their vicinities, together with their adj

States,were thenread; whereupona COM
mittee was appointed to report resolu-
tons for the consideration of the meet
ing. The committee retired for short
time, and Upon their return r0orted the
following resolutions, which were agreed
to-
1. Resolved una,1imously,T That although
far rem6ved from our brethren OF the
seaboard, and therefore supposed, per-
haps, to be less affected by commercial
regulations; yet as members of the same
political family, we feel with equal m
dignation any insult or injury, be 1t COM
mitted against whatsoever part OF our
common country it may.
2. ReSoIVed unanimously, That we
view the late outrage committed by the
British ship Leopard upon our national
frigate Chesapeak, as wanton attack
upon our national independence, which
calls loudly for vengeance on the heads
Of those who committed it. i.
8. Rcsof0ed unanimously, That altho'
to live in honorable peace with ali the
world is the first wish of our hearts; ne
vertheless we would embrace war ra-
Their than submit~to the violation OF a
particle Of our Just rights, or suffer the
least diminution of that liberty and IN
dependence purchased for us by the he
roes of our revolution.
d. Resolved unanimously, That what
ever measures the general government
may take, to obtain honorable restitu-
zion for the national insult we have re-
ceiyed, and, as far as the nature of the

PUBLIC SENTIMENT.


AT a meeting of the Citizens of O.
hio county, Virginia, held at the court
house in the town of Wheeling, on Sa-
turday the 29th of August, 1907, agree
ably to an invitation previously given
by Col. Moses Chapline, for the purpose
of taking into consideration the late das-
tardly attack made by the British ship
Leopard upon the United States frigatei
Chesapeake Col. Moses Chapline was
unanimously chosen chairman, and Tho
mas Evans and Noah Zane secretaries.
The business of the meeting was then
opened by the following address from
the chair -
FeAo1v- Citizens,
In obedience to a request from the
Lieutenant-Governor of this common
wealth, you are convened for the pur-
pose of publicly expressing your abhor-
renee (Which l have no doubt every CT
tiZen of America feels) at the late out
rage committed by the. British ship
Leopard on our national frigate Chesa-
peak. Believing that we were at peace
with all the world, and not suspecting
an attack from any quarter, our frigate
was in measure rmprepared for imme-
diate action, and about to pursue her
destined voyage, when, to the astonish-
ment not only of those on board, but of
all the civilized world, she was attacked
by the ship just mentioned, number Of
her men were killed and wounded, and
herself SO crippled to be obliged to re-
turn into port for repairs. And that no
thing might be wanting to aggravate the
offence, it was committed in the presence
of powerful British squadron, and in
pursuance of an order from the British
admiral Berkeley. Therefore, there can
be but little doubt of its being authoriz-
ed by the British government.-Altho'
peace is both the interest and desire Of
the people of the Unlfed States yet
when our nation is ins6Ited, our proper
ty destroyed, and oprcitizens murdered,
an appeal TO arns'seems unavoidable
and l have no douN bus we ahall rise
up in the strength of the nation, and

~ TIE frvo Rabbits.
Der brers and boys,
Pursued by the dogs,
& rabbit was posting away,
When out from his hole
Another one stole,
And ask'd 'why this hurry, friend, pray%
Exhausted of breath,
The first one cried 'sdeath
Why what in the world should it be,
But yonder fierce hounds,
That skip DER the grounds,
Are bent upon kidnapping me!'
Yes t'other replies,
Il see with these eyes
What seems to be hounds in thy fright;
But hounds they are not
Indeed then say whatf'
why, dogs - am sure am right
eWhat, dogs2' Yes indeed;
know well the breed;' know
Sand hounds too,' replied t'other, Il
No, no they're not hounds,
IT'S terror confounds,
Else surely thou couldst not say so.'
In such dialogues
They talk'd, till the dogs
Came up the dispute to decide:
Voracious and grim,
They tore limb from limb,
When, lack, aday both OF them died!
Let those who in rhyme
Grin prose spend their time
In triAing disputes of this kind,
Regardless of such
AS are more worthy, much,
Bear these rabbits fate in their mind.
