A TOWN MEETING, HELD JN
BOSTON, July 17, 1795.
Concluded from our lajt.
The reafons, which have induced
this opinion, arc as follows, viz.
ift. Becanfe 'this compaft pro
feflcs to have no reference to themc
ntsof the complaints and pretenfions
of die contrading partijs.; but in
reality the complaints and prcten
Iioni of Great-Britain are fully pro
vided for, while a part only of
thofe of the United States have been
broight in to confideration.
2idly. Becaule hi the Uipulatlon,
whi:h. furrenders our polts to the
weftem frontier, no provifion is
made to indemnify the United States
tor the commercial and other lofles
tle have fuftained, and the heavy
expnces to which they have been
ubjfcted m confequence of beipor
kept out of pofleffion for twelve
yeaA, in. direa violation of the
treaty of peace.
?fyi Becaule no indemnification is
to be made to the citizens of the
United States for property taken
from them at the cjofe of the war,
the reltitution of which Is provided
for in the fame treaty.
4th!y. Bccaufe the capture ofvef
fels and property tf the citizens of
the United States, made under the
authority of the government of
Oreat-Bntain, is a national concern
and damn, arifing from fuch cap
tures, ought not to have been fub
muted to the decifion of their admi
ralty courts; as the United States
arc thereby precluded from having
J oicc m the final determination of
fuch cafes.
And becaufe the indemnification
propofed to be made, is to be fought
by a procefi tedious and expcnfUe
m which juttice may be delayed to
an anreafonable time ; and eventual. " .
their inability to purfue it, and be
caufe t i l mrsAm r:j
...w W1 luucuiuincaiion
ocars no proportion to the fammary
methoadopted for the fatisfadtion
of Britim claims.
Sthly. Becaufe this to'mpaad
musf Britifti fubjefts to an equal
participation with our own citizens
ot the interior traffic of the U. States
wth the neighbouring, Indians,
through our whole territoriardomU
"ions; while the advantages often
libly reciprocated to our citizens,
are limited both in their nature and
extent.
6thly. Becaofc the alienuty up
- .me5haniize imported into the
" " uy rsrr-nn lubjects in
the.rown bottonwls, if not wholly
Impended, ,at leaft contracted, not
7 vttiyvj, .
t
7thlv. Becanfe U W " ''
have hitherto 'enjoyed in India, in
cT5Vw1rtrtl7ernat'on is fo
rdtnfod that ip foture it will be of
little or nofuhftancial benefit to our
citizens.
8thly . Becaufe in every ftipulation
re petting our intercourse with the
colonial poffeffions of Great-Britain,
the whole commerce of the United
Mates m fuch intercourfe is eclonized
in return.
?tWy. Becaufe th? claufe, by
which the Britifl! government re-
tieif tne rigM of impofing
on American vefTels, cnieiing Uri
tWh ports in Europe, a duty Uhich
!la countervail the diiFerence of the
duty payable on the importation of
European and Matic goods in the
Un.ted States in RiitiHi or Ameri
can bottoms, places it in the power
ot that governmt-nr to enable British
itibjefts to become the importers of
Uatic andTuropcan goods into the
United States, to the exclufion of our
own citizens.
, tothly. Becaufe, although the
terms of faid treaty purport to bo
reciprocal in many inftances, yet
?uation and exift
ing circumftances of the United
tates and ihe pacific fyftem of po
licy thepr have adopted, that reci
procity is merely nominal and delu
hve. nthly Becaufe it prevents the
United States from impofing any
Atrther reftriaibns on The Britifli
trade rf.W,
And becaurc it is flipolatccl that
neither the debts due from individu
als of one nation to individuals of
l- ?hf r' nor niarcs nor moni
which they may have in the public
funds, or in any public cr private
banks, fiialJ ever1 in any-event of
war or national difference befequef
tered or confifcated.-lt is far front
being impoffible that the exercife of
this right may in the opinion of the
national legiihture contribute ttf
prererve the peace of our country,
and proteft the rights and property
of the citizens from violation, we
therefore efteem it highly impolitic
that the public faith mould be -pledged
that it fhall nfver be exercifd
under any circumdances wnatever.
- I ath Uecaufe it concedes a right to
the Britifli government to fearch
and detain our veflels in time ofwar'
under frivolous and vexatious pre
texts. 1
ijtli. Becaufe it agrees, thatfliln
timber, rar, hemp, fail,, nd cop
per, fhall be confidered contraband
