X in MS at the endurance of them, and will con-
X duct toward the national government and its
n several officers with suitable Difference and mo
n deration: that we do however despair Of obtain
~ ing any redress of these grievances, from that
government, quhae its ttriactTai offices .hN
ed as at present; and that our only hope is that
the state government, by their circumstances
h and resolutions, may have more influence in
q effectng this object, than the petitions and
memorials Of individuals and towns.
N Resolved, therefore, That respectful adj
AZ dress be forwarded in the name of the people
h Of this town to the legislature of this common
~ wealth. stating to them the wrongs and griev-
ances we already suffer, and the fearful appre-
4 tensions we experience of speedily having our
n calamity increased by the addition of still more
i restrictive and arbitrary laws; expressing to
h them our appreciation OF the measures they
& have already adopted upon this important OBJ
7. iect, and requesting them to take such other
h Immediate steps for relieving the people, either
81 by themselves alone, or az concert NTH either
N commercial states, as the extraordinary cir
~ cnmstances of our situation may require.
n Also, that committee Of safety and CORES
n pondence BE- appointed to correspond with
N committees Of other towns If necessity should
81 in future require it, ON the best means OF re-
6 embarrassed and distressed situation, and also
t,s that it be the dury OF said committee to watch
9oyer the safety of the people OF this town, and
10 give immaculate alarm, SO that a regular
aB,neefing man be called, whenever any infringe
lament of their rights shall be committed by any
Hperson or persons under color ami pretence IF

M be committed or offered by any armed men
X patrong our streets by light, and that they
"a make complaint against such in future for 60
RI ing armed, to the terror and disturbance Of the
N people, and cause them to be arrested and
N taaished according to lagY!
AZ These resolutions, says TIE Boston
@ Chronicle, cunningly incorporate the quaint
a term of" Difference and moderation toward
N the general government" at the very mo-
Ne ment when they are calling upon the state
" government to rise in opposition, and pas
4 sing resolutions to put at defiance It's laws,
an and to arrest Its officers

* Let them trace the projects of Federalism
through all their wndings to the source and
Il object and they must be convinced that the
overthrow Of our Republican Institutions
