tain, support and defend the sovereignty and indepen
dence of Ithis state with their lives and fortunes.
6. Resolved unanimously, That it be recommended
to the supreme executive council of this state, forthwith
to order the militia to hold themselves in readiness to aft
as occasion may require."
And whereas there is the fulleft evidence, that the
fame spirit of wickedness and folly which at that time
governed the councils of the British nation, has excit
ed the present rulers of that people, under more speci
ous names and pretences, to repeat the insulting at
tempt. And whereas the people of a free state are in
titled to the fulled and cleared information of the prin
ciples on which their representatives, in the executive
as well as in the legislative, mean to proceed in every
great concern, this council conceive it to be their du
ty to declare, that as they fully and unanimously ap
prove of the said recited refutations, so they determine
to adhere ftriftly to them on all occasions.
And it is the unanimous opinion of this council, that
any propositions which may be made by the court of
Great-Britain, in any manner whatsoever, tending to
violate the treaty subsiding between us and our illustri
ous ally, ought to be treated with every mark of in
dignity and contempt. And, at the fame time, this
council considering the advantages which nations de
rive from amity and commerce founded on good faith,
esteem and mutual intered, and well knowing the be
nefit which Great-Britain might derive from America,
were she to adopt principles of moderation, wisdom and
justice, cannot so far suppress their desire for the ge
neral interest of mankind, and regard to the dignity of
human nature, as not to feel some concern while they
fee that once powerful and refpe&able nation, conti-,
nuing to aft upon principles which if perfiftedin much
longer must, by destroying all title to the esteem,
faith and confidence of these United States, render
treaties of amity and commerce between us and them
absolutely and altogether impracticable.
Ordered, that the foregoing resolutions be pubifhed.
