JAMES BRoBsoN was appointed chairman and N
y. WILLIAMSON. Secretary and the following res
olutions were unanimously adopted.
RESOLVED, That this meeting feel the deepest graf
tude tor the services and the highest venera,on for
the characters of JOHN ADAMS and THO MAS
JEFFERSON.
These: uslrious men ranked among the first Of
that band OF patriots, who socitous only to secure
the rights OF their fellow citizens and regardless of
their own personal danger and sacrifices, achieved
our independence and secured our liberties by equal
laws AS signers Of the Declaration of Indepcn-
dence they. in the hour Of peril, boldly announced
the safe and fundamental principles oil all just gov
crnment AS First Magistrates ci the nation they.
10 the time OF prosperity adopted for their conduct
the principles which they had inculcaed. We are
conscious that we cannot properly estimate how
mucn we owe to their wisdom and patriotism but
We know that they stood most eminent among those,
who, every hazard, resisted the first encroachment
upon the liberties of our country; who, amid diff
cutes and discourag ements, rescued her from COL
onal lhrsldom; and who have advanced her to a
rank and condition which make her example to be
dreaded by the oppressors of mankind, wherever
they are and to be admired and copied by the friends
Of Freedom, wherever her banner is displayed.
The deaths of these distinguished men have been
peculiarly fortunate; happening at very advanced
ages, on the same day, and at the anniversary, the
hltieth anniversary OF The ac' not only the most go
rious Of their lives but uDrisalled both in its charac
ter and in its consequences in the history of the
world; thus most poinledy reminding Of their
meti;s--of our loss, and Of our duties.
Resolved, That as testimonial OF our veDeration
for the memories OF JOHN ADAMS and THOM
AS JEFFERSON, we will wear Grape on the lief,
arm for one month, and that we recommend to our
fellow citizens to adopt this mark of respect.

The jefferson Subscription. AT the close OF the
Proceedings at he Town Meeting in this city, on
Saturday last, MIR. Secretary barbour took occasion
10 advert to the subscription which had been com
mtnced, in all part, OF the country, for the relief
of Mr.. J.f;rson's pecunary embarrassments; and
remarked, that though he, who had the strongest
claim to the bene 6cence intended, was now removed
from all mortal necessities, yet that those for whom
il was eventually intended, and to whom it would
doubtless have been directed by MIR. J. himself,
sill survived, viz: his child and grand children
ard il, without this relief they were to be reduced
10 bereavement and want the spirit OF the benefac
lion would still prompt its authors, and both the
subscription and its motive would still survive
His own wish had been that some individual would
open a communication with all the associations
which had been formed for this object in order that
here nigh, be general understanding on the sub
iect and that it might be determined whether the
subscription should not proceed and be applied to
The purchase OF the lottery tickets or in some other
manner for the beneft OF the child and grand chi
,lren Of the deceased And, il none other would
attempt this, he would himself undertake the task
To which we add, we hardly supposed there
could be doubt, the mind of any one, as to the
proper application of the contributions already
made to this fund. The suggestion of Mr. Bar
toar indicates what appears TO US to be the true
course in regard 10 this matters and we are author
zed to say that he will receive, with respect and
attention, any communications from persons friendly
10 this object Nat. Intel.
The following Resolution was passed at large
and respectable Meeting Of the inhabitants Of the
CRY and county OF Philadelphia held at the District
Court Room, on Friday last.
Rpsolued That it is the earnest wish Of the citi
zens of the city and county Of Philadelphia,
That the contributions to the Jefferson Fund collect
cd or subscribed in the State OF Pennsylvania, shall
oe paid TO the Daughter of that deceased Patriot and
Statesman. His dying brqurs gives her claims on
her Country. which who enjoy the blessing
and prosperity the labors of her parent so largely
assisted to secure, can refuse to acknowledge.
