Resolved. as the sense of this town. That Whereas it is the right of the Citizens of the United States, to assemble peacefully to cousult on the public affairs of the country, and in a respectful manner to express their sentiments of public men & public measures; & whereas at times of great public calamity & distress, this right becomes a high & commanding duty.
We, the people of this town, being firmly attached to our Constitution & to the institutions of our fathers. do consider the late declaration of war by the Govern- ment of the United States against Great Britain, unnecessary. impolite & unjust : and we deem it our bounden duty to ourselves, to our Government and to the American people, as well as to posterity by all constitutional measures in our power, to avert those calamities & judgments, which a war undertaken under present circumstances and for such reasons as are before the public. cannot fail to bring upon us as a people, upon posterity, & upon our common Country.
