At a public meeting of the Citizens of
Savannah, held by adjournment/
at the Filature, on Wednesday the
eighth day of January, 1794;
The Hon. Nathaniel Pendleton
in the chair :
Resolved, That as we esteem it one
of the greatest privileges of free citi
zens, publicly to express our dilap
probation of the measures ol govern
ment, when we conceive them to be
conducive to improper ends, and in
fluenced by improper motives ; so, on
the contrary, we conceive it equally
our duty to express our approbation
cf great and extraordinary a£b,which
have been the retult of coiiftant vigi
lance, and prudent precautions for
national i'afety.
Resolved, That among the great
and good acls of our firft magistrate,
we are particularly induced to express
cur warmefl thanks and fulleft appro
bation of the wife and judicious mca
fures adopted during the recels of con
gress. We conceive them to embrace
as their great cbjetfts, the honour,
dignity, and true interest of America :
And we fed a particular pleasure, that
after a public investigation, these acts
have received the fulleft approbation
of both homes of congress.
Resolved, That we conceive it to
be the genius of true republicanism,
to give equal liberty, and no more
-7 hat this liberty can ctiiy he enjoyed where
the laws are Jupreme , and are refpefted.
That the attempt of Citizen Genet,
the French ambaflador, to enlist and
raise an armed force, under French
commiflions and French pay, within
the jurisdiction of the United States,
if not early checked, have a
dirctft tendency to a total lubverfion
of our laws and government, and the
equal liberty of the citizens. That
ads of this kind are contrary to the
law of nations, and repugnant to the
principles of every good government.
Resolved, That while we express a
just sense of the indignant condud cf
the French ambaffsder, towards the
American government, we at the
fame time declare we entertain a sin
cere gratitude and- attachment to the
French nation-
Resolved, That in the present cri
sis of European politics, we are of
opinion it is the trite interest of Ame
rica to remain at peace—to observe a
ftrid adherence to the faith of treaties
on our part, and with firmnefs to de
mand a reciprocal condud from other
nations.
Resolved, That although we de
precate war, as one of the greatest
evils that can befal a nation, and that
an appeal to arms ought to be the der
nier refert of a republican govern
ment, it becomes the United States
to be prepared in this last extremity,
to aftert and protect their rights a
gainst the encroachments or infultsof
any foreign nation whatsoever.
