throughout the wrong-doers : therefore, this Meeting (without
reference to the conviction of many, that all war is opposed to
the spirit and precepts of the Gospel) holds it to be the
,bounden duly of the Government immediately to effect an equi-
ea. and pacific settlement of the existing differences with
