OBSTRUCTION, and calculated 10 encourage q
Increase the injuries which we experience
from foreign nations.
That in the present situation of the com,
! mercial world, we do not perceive that al y
power, excepting Great Britain, could ma
terially iniure our commerce, if the govern
nent had asserted our rights with the spir-
1t of republicans AMI upon failure OF re-
dress for the violation of treaties and other
outrages, had authorised our citizens 10 arm
in their own defence.
That we cannot resist the conviction, that
repeated opportunities have been offered to
our government TO renew our commercial
treaty with England, under which we so long
enjoyed a most profitable trade and that
if the treaty, negotiated bv tue Presidents
ENJOYS with that nation had 3een submit
ted to the Senate, and ratified by the con-
/, stituted authorities, the mcalculable evils
already experienced, and hereafter 10 be
suffered, would, in great degree, have
been prevented, and nearly the whole for
eign trade of the District of Maine, in par
ticular, would have remained to this dr., as
productive as in our most prosperous times.
That we conceive the tendency of the late
ard present measures OF our national admin
istra,ion equally derogatory TO the honor, &
injurious to the interests OF the nation a
course of policy which demands the surren-
der Of our most invaluable rights.
That we view with the most serious a.
larm, the measures which we are apprehcn-
sive are about to be adopted to invest Gus
tom house officers with tho powers of Jndg-
es and iaries, and to dragoon the people, by
military force, into submission to the most
oppressive and arbitrary measures
( That we highly approve Of the measures
adopted by the present Legislature Of this
commonwealth, in relation TO our national at.
fairs and ofthe spirited, able, and patriot
ic stand, made by our Senators and part Of
our representatives IN Congress, in oppose
ton to the late alarming meas ares Of The adj
ministration
That we are fully convinced, that IL all the
members Of Congress from the northern and
eastern states, had pursued the same patri-
otto course Of policy, these fatal measures,
if adopted, must have been Of short durs-
ton.
That as we cannot reasonably expect re
lief from further application to our national
rulers, our only hope. under providence, is
in the virtue and patriotism OF the great boz
dy OF our fellow citizens, and in the wisdom
and firmness Of the state legislatures.
That a committee be appointed to com.
: municate these resolutions 10 the several
towns in this county, and TO request them,
if they think proper, to address our state
Legislature, praying them to adopt such mea.
sures, AS they in their wisdom shall deem
! expedlent. TO obtain redress from our pres.
ent sufferings, and to secure to the people
the exercise Of their essential and constitu.
tional rights.

The Constitution Violated; AID The rights
offhe PEOPLE destroyed


On the frst page of this days Ca
zette, we have published an act OF Con-
gress, which the humble vassals of Boz
naparte, OF the Dey of Algiers, would
hardly submit to. 1t gives to the Pre-
sident and his officers, power which
the king OF England dare not exercise.
Il goes to PROSTATE and destroy the
rights of the people ofthis country, and
subject their property to the arbitrary
control Of tho collectors. II deprives
the citizens of tho right Of acquiring
property, or of disposing of what they
possess, as no owner. of vessel can sell
the same, without being liable for the
conduct Of the purchaser. 1t empow-
ers the officers Of government to enter
our dwelling houses (what the king Of
England dares not do) without having
committed any crime. It renders the
military power superior to the civil,
which principle is completely subver-
sive of every principle of freedom.
Every farmer, who brings an article
of produce to market, is liable to have
it seized, on suspicion of its being in
tended for foreign market. 1t com
pels the owners of vessels who have
loaded them by permit Of the govern
ment, to unload them, or give enormou:
bonds-----to the amount Of six times the
value which amounts to an exposl
facto law. 1t gives to the Collectors the
power to compel every man who has q
dollar in his pocket, to take the same
and keep it. 1t goes to unite all power
in the President, and thereby give him
the power Of becoming he greatest ty.
rant o. earth. These are but few oi
the hedioss features Of The bill.
We understand meetings for the ex.
ercise Of Constitutional Rights, will
be held in the towns Of Saeo and Bid.

For the future we'll being of the citi.
