RELIGIOUS FREEDOM OF AMERICAN CITIZENS
ABROAD.
The great meeting in behalf Of the protection
Of American citizens in their religious rights
when abroad, held at the Tabernacle, in New
York, on Thursday evening" recommended the
friends of religious liberty to address petitions
to Congress. A form Of petition has been drawn
up, and copies have been circulated for sigma
ture. We subjoin this form, in the hope that
it will be copied, and numerously signed
Memorial to the honorable the Senate and House
Of Representatives. Of the United States.
The undersigned, citizens Of - and its
vicinity, beg leave to request your honorable
body to enact such laws and adopt such meas
ures az in your Judgment shall be best to secure
the influence Of the Federal Government in be.
half of the principles Of religious freedom, and
especially for the protection Of American citi-
zens in the enjoyment OF their rights Of con-
science of religions worship, as well as Of the
right to bury their dead in such way and with 1
such rites as may seem to them most appro-
pirate, when residing or travelling in foreign
lands.
The enjoyment Of these rights is fully guar
antied to the people Of all nations, who on ac.
count Of business or pleasure, visit our country,
and the reciprocation Of them on the part of
other nations toward our citizens ought not to
be withheld.
And your petitioners will ever pray SO.
Petitions on this subject should be addressed
TO Congress without delay.
