On the 1 8th of June, a small majority in Congress did by a LAW declare WAR on the part of the United States, against the United Kingdom of Great-Britain and Ireland and its dependencies. This aci, so unexpected, so opposed to the petitions and remonstrances of every class and part of the comnuuiity — so steadfastly and honorably resisted by a great majority of the [6] delegates in Congress from this State, and by those of many other States, could not be prevented. It was, after many days strug...gle, in secret sittings, carried through and has become a Law. * Ihis Convention is composed of men, who would ill de- serve the confidence of their fellow-citizens, and dishonor their own principles, were they to attempt to obstrud: or de- feat this law, by any irregular opposition — by violence, by menace, or il egal combinations. It must be for those who want a good cause, and distrust the force of reason, to support it, to adopt means so unworthy of freemen and good citi- zens. Some of us have contributed early and ardently, in contending for and laying the foundations of civil liberty, and all of us are too deeply impressed with the duties of submis- sion to constitutional laws (zvbi/e they are in force) to be capable of condudl or advice, tending to prevent their execu- tion, by the agency of popular passions — however such laws miay, during their continuance, distress the people or coun- terad their best and most important interests.
