Capt. Webb, Of the schooner Catharinc

that avessel had arrived ut that island from
Barbadoes, bringing intelligence, that by mn
arrival at the latter island from England,

and that after most bloody battle, which
had lasted for three successive DAYS, the
French were entirely defeated, and sur
rounded with Bouapartc in Berlin. In Civ

------Cr motion, unanimously resolved, That
this Legislature composed Of the inmedi-
ate representatives of the people, BY them
elected to declare their will, viewing the
blessings and distinguished political benc,
FITS derived in a state snd national capaci-
~, from the impartial, wise, and judicious
administration Of Thomas Jefferson, Presi-
dent of the United States. embrace this op-
portunity of expressing thier full and entire
confidence and appreciation of his official
conduct.
At the present momentous crisis, when
the civilized nations of the Old world, TO
whom we arc bound by the ties of interest
CT political friendship, are conyulscd, and
either engaged in the prosecution of dcs-
tructive wars, or forming coalitions which
threaten the destruction of nations and dy-
Dasties; it is of the utmost importance
thst our political harque should be direct
ed by the hand of a master, in whose in
tegrity, discretion ard wisdom, the people
of these United States, can with safety re-
ly. We therefore in the name of the peo-
pie of Georgia, request that Thomas JEFF
fersen will devote four years more of his
life to the service of his country, in order
more permanently to establish those prin-
ciples of political liberty, which is the
boast and glory of Republican America
Resolved unanimously, That his excel
icncy the governor, do, without delay, trans

Such impressions have the arguments

Brennus, Of the condition of the coun-

the Legislature, is correct and with the
most hearty goodwill, join in his con-
clusion, " that it was the duty of the O.
hio Legislature, to take every kgui and
co71situtionm measure, to crush a deep
and daring treason"
The unalteraIle emphasis placed up
on the words " legal and constitutional"
by Brennus, cannot escape observation.
He declines an examination of this point,
and chooses to vindicate the proceedings
OF Ohio, in such terms as not to make
himself responsible for their constitu-
tlonality. He succeeds in demonstrate
ing, that there was a necessity for the
Legislature of Ohio to act, and to act
with promptitude and energy, but he has
not shewn that this necessity could JUS
tiiy violation Of the constitution nei-
Their has he admitted, or denied, that the
act OF the Ohio Legislature is constitu-
tional. When l join Brennus in his
conclusion, wish to be explicit. l de
clare do not approve the act which the
Legislature adopted, because consider
it unconstitutional.
