At a meeting of the Republican Society in Ulster county, held at the house of John Carr, on the 17th inst. the following resolutions were passed:

Resolved as the sense of this society,

1st, That resistance by force to the execution of laws legally enacted, by a majority of the representatives of the people, is highly criminal, subversive of the sovereignty of the people, and dangerous to the existence of a free government.

2d. Therefore resolved, that this society highly disapproves of the conduct of the inhabitants of the western counties of Pennsylvania, in opposing by force and violence the execution of the excise law of the United States.

3d. Resolved, that this society approves of the conduct of the President of the United States and the Governor of Pennsylvania, for their laudable endeavors to induce the insurgents to submission, previous to an appeal to arms.

4th. Resolved, that whenever a law is so odious and unpopular that it cannot be executed by the ordinary authority of government, it is wise and politic to repeal it: there being nothing more pregnant with evil consequences to a free government, than being reduced to the necessity of arming one body of its citizens against another, to enforce the acts of the legislature.

5th. Resolved, that the insinuations held forth in some of the ministerial prints, that republican societies are the instrumental cause of the present insurrection, are false, groundless, insidious and ungenerous aspersions; as a settled and rooted aversion and opposition, to the excise law has been manifested by the present insurgents, long before the establishment of those societies—and it was proper in this society to reincindate, they might with more justice and equal confidence assert, that the Secretary of the Treasury, who proposed the excise system, and the Congress who adopted and refused to repeal it, notwithstanding the repeated remonstrances, and manifestations of the most confirmed aversions of these people, are the leading causes of the transaction.

TOASTS.

1st. The President of the United States and the Democratic Societies throughout the world.

2d. May the armies of tyrants, when opposed to freemen, ever experience the fate of Burgoyne.

3d. The United States, may they be as happy and respectable in peace as they were victorious in war.

4th. The French Republic, may they give its own terms to the tyrants leagued against liberty.

5th. Major General Gates, and those brave officers and soldiers who captured Burgoyne and his army.

6th. Citizen Fauchier.

7th. Liberty, may it pervade the universe.

8th. The laws, may their wisdom & equality command respect.

9th. Religion and morality, pure and unadulterated; may they flourish on the ruins of superstition and ecclesiastical fraud.

10th. Education and science, the best preservatives of public liberty; may they be cultivated with an ardour equal to their importance.

11th. May the enemies of equal rights in this land of liberty, and throughout the world, labour under the guillotine of a self-tormenting conscience till they see their errors and reform.

12th. May the late defeat of the Indians and their white allies, the British, by Gen. Wayne's army, be a prelude to nobler achievements.

13th. The wish multitude may they root out the seeds of tyranny in every clime.

14th. Victory and success to the brave citizens of Poland, who are struggling for freedom under the auspices of Kosciuszko.

15th. May the Insurgents of Pennsylvania resign their arms to the legal and constitutional modes of redress, and harmony be speedily restored, without the effusion of human blood.
