american people from meeting or combining
together, to give might to thciropinions regard
ing the acts Of a tyrant, nor to express their
sympathy and appreciation towards the down

worthy Of the noble character of American free
dom and under certain circumstances might
be justified as we'll by the soundest national
lpolicy as by the hottest sentiments of human
lily.
