We can delay ho idtfgzf Y’ uivilky

\Ye wUI there fore, with that friend
ly freedom which becomes citizens
v. hofj mtere&s are the fame, expole
rhe reafi! 3 and fent wnich
forb and us to a A in our official capa
city according to your propolal.
We are far from driagreeing with
you on the conftirufional right of
the cPizTns “in an orderly tn^ 1
peaceable ma-cer, to aficfnble to
confuk on the public gnod,” and
prefent addreff-s, petitions and re
monftrances. But we think a wife
people will be cautious of making
a frequent ufe of thk privilege.—
WhiiH the right of fuff age remains
inure, and the people polfcflTcs the
freedom offrequent ekdtions, it is
oi'-yipus there cannot be fuch oc
casion for petirVoning, as under go
vernments the people have
a lefs “ ejfential [hare.” Of the
propriety of exciting others to, pe
tition, you have doubt Id's confidcr
ed.
We are highly pleafed, ar.d mull
heart ly concur with toe general
fentimems in the firft part of the
peution of B *fton, txpreffive of a
l’enfc of patriutifm and <c refpeA
for the ccjnftituted authorities of
our coumrv,” and “the mdifpen
fiole necrffi f y of lupporting, at all
times, the jaws enafted by the go
vernment of our choice,’ 3 with their
\ . : M
tc read!refs to make any perfbnal
facj.fc es, and endure any priva
tions which the public welfare may
rtephre.” It prides us, that under
lean meats truly honorable and mag
nanimous Ike the fir, our fellow Citi
zen* of B >(lon “ have refrained
from expreifii g cnewifiies they moft
fenfiolv fed for the removal of the
ernoarg' lndeed were not the
e-mbarg> a mealure “which the
public/ good required,” not only
the citizens of Bofton but of every
other t&vvn, would have juft caufe

the • embafrflTnrffts conf quenrial
on the arreftation of a projperous
trade bv the embargo, or rather 6y
the t extraordinary conduft of
nations, ivhich caufed
rhe embargo, are fenfiblv frit by al
thf'-ft every cjnzrn, none will deny ;
ant| that like all embarrrfTuents ufu
ally arifing from any'char ge in the
courT of bufi lefsj they muft aff (ft
fome individuals, l'ome towns, and
feme (tares, or parts of the radon,
more than others, is as j lain to be
lefh., But fr fuch individuals,
fur|i/towns or jftates to niurmu-, fow
d((content?, or attempt to raife op

fme, would betVay abaft feififtfnds
upworthv of Americans, and degen
erating from the great example of
our early anctftors, and the heroes
and fagts rxt our. recent revolution j
and not Only fo, but unworthy c f
.focial man, unworthy of the religion
we profefs.
It gives us great fatisfaftion, af
ter the contrary impn fiions which
we had received from periodical
papers, we confefs not worth re
garding, rbw robe aff ired, from a
iource.fo authentic, that the inhab
itants of Bofton wnild have fuff, red
in file nee all the evils which they
fenfiblv felt under the embargo,
“ but for the events in
which materially change tbs ajpett of
our foreign relationi ”
Here is the firft occafion that we
have to differ from the fentim'ents
exprelfed by you or your townsmen.
Thtfe events are fi> recent and our
intelligence, concerning the prefenc
ftate and profptfts of Spair, fo im
perfeft, we are not yet ready to ex
prefs any opinion on the propriety of
fufpending the embargo in whole or
in patrp becaufe of ihefe events.
And fuffer usalfo to mention, that
it would be no rni>re than reafonable,
fitft to allow the Prefi lent to come
to t’ e knowledge of thefe events,
2nd g’ve. him an opportunity to
take thole meafures, of his own ac
cord, which perhaps you and we,
in our petition, m ght requeft. To
petition at pre ft nr, as we are forced
to view the fubjeft, would imply a
luppofuion that the Prefident was
not qualified for his high ftation
or not difpofed to perform its du
ties ; a fuppofiti.cn which the in
habitants of Worcefter, no more
than thofe of Bofton, were ever
difpofed to make.
Fully perfuaded that we haveex
prelfed the fentiments of a large ma
jority of the inhabitants of this town,
in expreffing our own, we cannot
believe it would be fatisfaftory to
them, on this occafion, at this fta
fon of the year, to be called togeth
er in town meet ng. We are, gen
tlemen, with much refpeft, your
humble ferva’-ts,
