The GEORGIA JOURNAL: AND Independent Federal Register . Pub. twice a week] Vol. I.] 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. .
