Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Voice of the Yeomanry: Proceedings of the York County Convention, Holden at Alfred, Sept; 10, 1812 Agreeably to public notice, a Convention of more than Six Hundred Republican Citizens, representing every town in the County of York, assembled at Alfred, on the tenth instant, to consider and resolve on the momentous subjects of public affairs. Deeply impressed with the solemnity of the occasion, the convention in the first place attended divine service, at which the Rev. Mr. Webster, of Biddeford, acceptably officiated. The Convention then moved in procession from the Church to the Court-house. So grand a spectacle, of the same nature, was never before presented in the county of York. At a time when faction boasts that disaffection pervades the whole mass of the community, that none are in favor of public measures but the dependants and expectants of the administration, to see such a body of the solid yeomanry come forward to tender their countenance to the constituted authorities; and solemnly pledge themselves in support of those measures which have been adopted to save the country, has truly a pleasing and sublime sight. The convention upon being assembled in the Court-House, chose the Hon. Alexander Rice, President and Daniel Wood, Esq. Secretary, and appointed a committee consisting of a member from each town, to prepare a Report for their consideration. The committee reported the following Resolutions and Address, which after being ably and eloquently advocated, were unanimously adopted, and ordered to be duly signed, and published in the Boston Patriot, Independent Chronicle, Salem Register, and Eastern Argus, and a copy to be transmitted to the President of the United States. Resolutions. Preamble. The United States are engaged in war for the vindication of their rights upon the ocean. These rights must be maintained or our Independence must he surrendered. Every thing valuable to men in this world is now at stake. Our fate as a nation and as individuals, is to be decided by force of arms. At this awful moment, public spirit should nerve every arm, and love of country swell every bosom. The sublime spectacle of a whole people, regardless of private animosities, rising as one man to save their country, should now be presented to the world.
