Aher retiring for short time,j the committee re :
turned and reported the following Preamble and
RESOLUTIONS, which were unanimously adopted:
we regard the present, az the most eventful
Crisis which has secured, since the contest bctw cen
the Democratic Republicans, and the Federalists,
which resulted in the triumph of principle, and the
elevation of Thomas JefIersoa, (the father of the
great Republican fsmily) TO the Office OF President
OF these United States. Indeed, the question on
which the people of the United States then pass
ed, Is revived, and is now to be again decided by
them The approaching election Involves all those
great principles, which were involved in the for =
mer contest, and they of the highest interest to
'he people OF the United States. and to the cause
OF Tree Government throughout the world. The
people OF the United States must now determine
whether they will suffer the purity of their nstiu-
uons TO be polluted and their excellent constitution
ulsresarded and oyerthrown; or whether they will
at all hazards, preserve their political system in its
simplicity, and see it carried into effect honestly,
according 10 the true, evident, and beautiful theo-
ry' on winch their government founded To
abandon, at this time, the principles, heretofore
maintained with 50 much frmness by the Demo.
cratic Republican party, sgans, the whole IS eight
OF Inc Administration, during the reign of the ell
der Adams, support ed as he wa. by the Federal
P"riy, and the arIstocracy of The country, would
DE 10 yieid up the many, TO the domination of he
lew, and to cast away those rights and liberties
ior the establishment IF which our ancestors, as
wen as many OF the present generation, poured
out both their blood and treasure and nut at ha
z'ru, every thing dear 10 man. Such madness can.
not be anticipated By the people of the United
Siates and we think, tina, those who have again
resived the struggle for the dominion of the few
over the many, al so short an interval after the
signal defeat OF $500 !, have given but slight eyi.
dence OF sound Judgement, or prudent forecast
Inc people OF the United States have not YET ar
rived at that state, when they can be brought by

reIhment, the in:rIgues and management OF the
administration, aided by the Federslsts and the
aristocrscy Of the country, to throw away their
rights and Liberties, and submit to the introdu ton
states 10 avert the impending and threatened
evils which must result. if the present admins
Hators OF the Executive Government should be
continued in Office, il is the duty, as well as the
light, OF every body of The citizens of the United
states to meet in primary assemblies and frankly
ieariessIy, and independent ly express their senti-
ments and opinions on the presen, crisis of our
affairs, unawed by the prescriptions of rover, or
the denuncialions Of the minority, (who are ever
more clamorousJ active, and cunning than the ma
]ority) and TO warn those who may be supue TO
come forth in The Majesty Of their strength and to
indicate the sovereignty of the people, and uniIe
heart and hand In maintaining and handing down
10 posterity, unmpaired, rights and liberties
and The free institutions with which we are at pre-
sent blessed
We, therefore, a portion of the Electors of the
Citizens OF Williamsburg, have met in pursuance
OF public notice for the purpose of expressing our
opinions and sentiments, upon the suni-- Of the
Sfea, question now pending before the people of
me United States, and to adopt such measures
as we may deem proper, to promote the election
oil General Andrew Jackson, and thereby, to turn
away from u.s. as far we are able all those evils
which must result, if the people ,houlL fail. by
an united effort, to dismiss from Office the present
lncunben,-. Therefore,
l Resolved, That the circumstances yyhirt
are known to have attended the late election
IN The Hou-e OF Representatives Of the United
States, furnish irresistible evidence TO our minds
hal there was an understanding between Mr. Ad
ans and bis friends, on the one part, and Nlr
Cisy and his friends, on the other; and that the
elevation of Mr. Adsrns, and the sIb.eorent an.
poi tmen' Of MI. Clay, to the Office of Secretary

2 Resolved, Tha, such conduct deserves. the
