¦From the Boston Republican Star.
At a numerous and respectable meeting
of the oU'iens ol Talbot county, heW at
the court-house, -in Easton, agreeable to
public notice, on Tujsdav the aist d.iy of
July, 'i 807—Upon motion bein.j made and
seconded, general Perry Benson, was una-
nimously app'-inted chairman, and.Dr;John
Coats, secretary.
After two energetic and pertinent addres-
ses upon the occasion of the meeting, which.
were made by Robert H. Goldsborough,
and John L. Kerr, csqrs. the following
gentlmen were appointed a committee, viz.
William Hayward Edward Lloyd Robert
H. Goldsborough, Jac b Gibson, John L.
Kerr, John Young,. Robert L. Nicolls, Sa-
muel S. Dickenson, and Perry Spencer,
esqrs. who having reti.ed for some time, re-
turned to their assembled conntrymjn ith
the following report and resolutions; which
were upon due deliberation unanimously a-
dopted, amidst the most sincere plaudits,
and immediately afterwards announced and
confirmed by repeated discharges of artil-
lery.
The government of the United States,
deriving all its authority from, and amena-
ble in all its acts to the voice of the people,
it is expedient and right at every important
crisis, that the public sense fairly and deli-
berately expressed, should be known as a
guid for the conduct of the constituted au-
thorities.
Content with our situation at home, hap-
py in the enjoyment of every blessing that
freemen could desire—wishing to cul-
tivate harmony and Friendship with all the
world, and anxiously studying, and uni-
formly practising a system of good faith
and impartiality in all cur relations with fo-
reign powers—we have considered ourselves
justly entitled to a state of honorable securi-
ty and (except national degradation) have
deprecated war, as the greatest of all cala-
mities. Connected, with the different Euro-
pean powers by an extensive and enterpris-
ing commerce, we mn.;t necessarily greatly
depend on a strict adherence to the la >s of
nations and a faithful fulfilment of treaties
on the part of others to pursue that peace
jmd good understanding which it is not only
our interest but our cordial wish to perpe-
tuate.
Taught by grievous and multiplied exam-
ples that the laws of nations and the faith of
treaties are but feeble barriers to restrain o-
ve? grown and unchecked power, and to
curb the insolence of those, whose system
is depredation, and to whom the relationship
ol peace opposes no obstacle to lawless vi-
olence and plunder ; when in answer to out
repeated remonstrances every assurance has
been given by the British government, that
proper orders should restrain the conduct of
the commanders of their armed vessels
'* within the limits of the fights, and of the
respect due to a friendly nation," and in
defiance of those pledges and professions,
in despite of every principle ot honor, of
justice, of humanity and of the laws of hos-
pitality, a British ship of war belonging to
a squadron laying within our waters has,
with unparralled insolence and perfidy,
pursued and attached a frigate of the United
States of inferior force, within a few miles
cf our sh re, and inhumanly murdered and
wounded many of our countrymen under
circumstances the most insulting and attro-
cious—"we consider the awful period now
arrived when the nation must rise in all the
majesty of her strength and the appalling as-
pect of union, and «ith universal voice
proclaim to their functionaries that there is
a degree of forbearance beyond which -they
cannot go, and to pledge themselves to
support with energy and alacrity whatever
measures the patriotism and wisdom of their
government may induce it to adopt.
We, therefore, the citizens of Talbot
county, convened at the court house in the
town of Easton, for the purpose of express-
ing our opinion on the late outrag-sous and
shameful attack of the British ship of war
Leopard, on the American ship of war
Chesapeake, do concur with, and heartily
assent to, the following resolutions :
Resolved, That the late attack made by
the British ship of war Leopard (captain
Humphreys) on the American ship of war
Chesapeake, was insolent, cowardly un-
lawful and hostile.
Resolved, After the repeated interpositi-
ons and remonstrances on the part of our
government with the government of Great-
Britain, the treaties entered into, and en-
gagements formed on account of the illegal
seizure of our vessels, the cruel and unlaw-
ful impressment and detention of our citi-
zens, and the contumelious conduct of their
captains and commanders, that a continuati-
on, and in some instances a monstrous ag-
gravation of such insults, injuries and
wrongs, can be viewed in no other light
than as sanctioned by the British govern-
ment, from whom we ought to demand im-
mediate and -mpk satisfaction, and redress.
Resolved, That the multiplied captures
of our vessels so long and so uninterruptedly
continued—the late trial and acquittal of
captain Whitby, for the unprovoked mur-
der of an American citizen within the juris-
tion of oum own country, his sword being
restored to him as a mark of approbation,
his being subsequently promoted in com
n.and, together with the order of admiral
Berkley, and the conduct of captain Hum-
phries, on board the British ship, the Leo-
pard, constitute a seiiesof facts which seem un-
equivocally to evince a fixed and fettled de-
termination on the part of Great Britain no
longer to remain on terms of honourable
peace and friendly intercourse with us, but
to force us into a war by a tyrannical exer-
cise of insuhijig «rungs, and lavage cruel-
lies.
Resolved, That peace is the first wish of fulness of the public- weal we will
our hearts, and we sincerely believe that a 1 deem as infamous and unworthy the name
stale of harmony and free trade with Great- I of .?» American, those who may, directly or
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^™ indirectly, attempt to contravene trie saiu
. proclamation.
1. Resol'aed unanimously, That we view
with, fin- utmost, pleasure and satisfaction
Britain and all the world is the interest as
well as the object most ardently desired by
the people of the United States but when
necessity demands, that no sacrifice is too
great for them cheerfully to en lure for the
.preservation of American honour, and hide-,
pendence-
'Resolved* That highly approving the
the patriotic and indignant spirit which has
been generally manifested elsewhere, parti-
cularly at Norfolk, Portsmouth and IIa op\
ton, within the vicinity of the scene where
the late infamous and assassin-like outrage
has been perpetrated ; and that from it we
president's proclamation and having the lul- j deri^in assurahce that tli • iVbsePENDENCE of
lest confidence in the constituted anthori- j which we proudly boast; and which was es-
ties we pled; e our lives, our ..fortunes and \ tabiished at the ex'pence of i ,!.e best blood of
our srered honour, to supp rt whatever j our country, will riot be ignobly yielded
firm and decisive measures the government \ without a struggle as lr.vdy and brave as that
may in their wisdom think proper to adopt,
to meet the present serious and interesting
rr.ss : The more prompt, the more admi-
rable, the more energetic, the more con^c-
kial to oui1 sentiments and ftclir.gs.
Resolved, That we highly applaud the
promptitude and firmness with which our
fellow-citizens in different parts of the Uni-
on have arsociated together and expressed
their just and patriotic indignation.
Resolved, That we highly approbate'the
conduct of our fellow citizens at Norfolk,
Portsmouth and Hampton, as manifesting a
noble promptness, to avenge the wrongs of
their countrymen, and an exalted sense of
national dignity and feeling : and that like
them, we will hold all persons infamous,
who shall attempt to give aid, succour or
assistance to any of the British armed ships
or vessels, no* hovering on our coasts, or
coining within our waters during the pre-
sent crisis.
Resolved, That the mayor of Norfolk me-
rits the thanks of this nation, .for his manly
and spirited reply to the menacing letter of
the British commander, Douglas.
Resolved, That the chairman and secreta-
ry be requested to communicate -a copy of
these resolutions to the president of the U.
States and the gorernor of Maryland re-
spectively.
Resolved, That the foregoing resolutions
be published in the Republican Star, at
Easton.
Rerolved, That the chairman and secre-
tary be requested to accept the thanks of
this mcetin;'.

Substance of a talk delivered ar Le Mai-
ouiiinong, entrance of Lake rvL, li
by the lnelian chief Le Maigous, or tiie
Trout, May 4tb ISO?, as coming from
the firsj man whom God created, said
to be now in the Sbawar.ee country, ad-
dressed to all the dinVrent tribes of In-
dians.
Le Magouis holding in his hand eip,ht
strings, of old wampum, four white and four
blue, said —
Brothers, These strings of wampum come
from the-Great Spirit. Do not despise them,
fit he knows every thing, "'hey aie to go
all .-.round tiie earth till they are lost. They
were sent to you by the iirst man he crea-
ted, with these words :
Children, 1 was asleep, when the Great
Spirit, addressing himself to another spirit,
said : 1 have closed my book of accounts
with man, and am going to destroy the
earth ; but iirst I will awaken, from the
sleep of tiie dead, the first man I created :
he is wise and let us hear if he has aught to
say. He then awoke me, and told me what
he was about to do.
I looked round the-world and saw my reel
children had greatly degenerated ; that they
had become scattered and miserable. When:
I saw this, I was grieved, on their account,.
and asked leave of the Great Spirit to come-
and see if I could reclaim them. I requester!
the Great Spirit to grant, incasethey should
listen to my voice, tiiat the work! might veS
subsist for the period of three full lives :
and my request was granted.
Now, therefore, my children, listen to my
voice, it is that of the Cheat SpirW ! V you
hearken to my counsel, and follow my in-
structions for lour years, there will then be
two days of darkness, during which I shall
travel unseen through the land, and cause
the animals, such as they were formerly,,,
when I created them, to-come forth uiit o£
the earth. The Great Spirit bids me address
you in his own words, which are these :
"My Gltildren—You are to have very-
little intercourse with the whites. They "
"are not your father, as yon call them ; but
your bre'.lnen. I ara you : 1. When
¦-on c II rne so, you do well, I am the father
of the Biudish, of the Pretich, of the Span-
iards, and of the Indians ; I crtated the iirst:
man, who was' the common futuer of all
these people a.s wui! as yourselves, and it i&
through' hini, wl.o.n I have awakened .io:r*
his long sleep, that 1 now address yo, . I}ut
the Americans I did not make. Ti ey art-
not iny children, but the children ot the.
evil spirit. They grew from the scum of
the great water, when it was ti\ ubied by^
the evil spirit, and the froth was driven into
the v...ods by a strong t-ast wind ; they are
aumer»us, but I hate them. They are un-
just ; they have taken away your iandSj
which were nut made for thern.
." My Children -The whites I placed on the
other side of tiie Great Lake, that they
might be a separate people. To them I gaety
diSereiit manners, customs, animals, vegeta-
bles, &c. for their use. To them I have
given Battle, sheep, swine, and poultry for
..esooly. You are not to fceej any
of these animals, nor to eat of I
To you I have given the deft, Rle bear, and
all wild, animal •, and the fish that swim yi
the rivers, and the corn that grows in the.
fields, for your own use ; and you are not
to give j cur meat or your coin to the whiles
to eat;
'• My Children You may salute the whites
when you meet them, bat (tot shake hands,.
You mast not get drunk j it is a grea
Your old men and chiefs' may drink a little
euie seiriti, such as comes from Montreal !
I,ut you must not drink one drop of whis-
key. It is the drink of the evil spirit, It
was not made by me, but by the .Vine; cans..
It is poison, li makes you sick, it burns
your insides. Neither are you on any
count to cat bread, ii is the food oi, tine
whS*t< 9.
'•Mycb'iklren->-You must plant corn* fop
yourselves, for your vfives and for your chil-
dren, and when you do it you are to
each oilier ; but plant no m re than is ne-
cessary for,your own-use. You must nor
sell it to the whites. It was iiot made iv.'r
them. I made all the trees, of the forest
for your use ; but the maple I love best,
because it yields sugarf for your little ones-
You must make it only for them, but sell
none to the whites. They have another
sugar, which was made e-x-pressly f r them.
Besides, by making too much, you spoil
the tiees, and give them pain by cutting and,
hacking them, for they have a (e-eding like
yourselves. If you make mere than is ne-
cessary for your own u e, you shall die„
and the maple shall yield no moie watei.
If a white man is starving, you may sell
him a. very little corn, or a very littlestigar,
but it muit be by,measure and by weight.
'' My children—You are indebted to the
white traders, but you must pav them »'.&
more than half their credits, because they'
heve cheated you. You must pay them it*
skins, gums, canoes, &c. but not in meat,
corn or sugar. Yon most not dtesslike the-
whites, nor wear hats like them, but plucK;
out your hair as in ancient times, and vie '-
the feather of the eagle on your heads ; ami
when the weathjr is not severe, you must
go naked, excepting the breech cloth ; and
when you are clothed, it must be in skins,
or leather of y ur own dressing.
" Mychildren—Youcomplain that the ant
mals of the forest are few and scattered——
How should it be otherwise ? Y»°" destroy
them yourselves, for their skins only, and
leave their bodies to rot, or give the i>eH
pieces to the whites. 1 am displeased wbea
I see this, and take them back to the earth,
that they may not come to you, agskl.
You must kill no more animals than are ne-
cessary to feed and clothe you ; and you foe
to keep but one dog, because; by keeping
too many, you starve them.
"My children—Your women must not iive
with the traders, or Other white men, untas,
they are lawfully married. But 1 do no\'
like even this ; because my white an
children were thus Market! with difl
colors, thst they might be a separate p':o- i_.-"-
