dersd as amaneuYre which ought tobe conn-

ters were accordingly told that they could
not take away the proceeds If old cargoes,
nor any debts Whatever, and only to the a.
mount of the cargo that should be eutered.-
Thinking. however, that this decision on be-
ing maturely considered would not be adj
hered to, petition was presented, stting
that the sole object Of the voyage was TO coll
lect debts; at the same time communicating
generally, that some shocks, hoops, and
boards were On board nanswer was after
two or three days received that the procIa-
nation would be adhered to- which gives per-
mission only to take away TO the amount of

OF the answer debts though not positively
forbidden TO he taken away in merchandise

THE interests Of all classes Of our citi-
zsns, being seriously and extensively Affect
ed by acts intercicting our commerce, and
Il being by this assembly considered ezpe-
dent in such crisis, to express the senti-
ments Of the state:
Resofped, That although the share, which
5 the people have, in the. government OF the
II. States is, on ordinary occasions, the best
] security of The public welfare ans. although.
the good people of this state, rely, With IN
abated confidence, On The wisdom and int
pritv of the senators and representatives,
from this state, In the congress Of the y. ;.
: vet m this unprecedented crisis, slisnce on
the Fart of this legislature. might be con-
stIued to imply the want OF Disposition to
protect, or an intention to bstray lte aealest
rights of our constituents:
ResoEed, That deeply impressed with
these tsGths, we have deliberately examined
into tAe tendency and operation OF the acts
interdicting foreign commercial intercourse,
ard while we yield to none in an Affection
ate attachment TO the constitution OF theC-
nited States, and claim no right OF imInedl-
are interference, in the foreign relations Of
our country, we maintain that the right
freely TO navigate the ocean, was ike cur
SOL. transmitted to us, an inheritance from
our sorefa.hers, and that the enjoyment ct
this right is secured to Us, as q iree and So
vereign state, by the plighted faith OF the
IT. States.
Resolved, That while we admit the power
~ ,iof<sc
4 10 retain or suspend il tor short and denim
tive periods, as a measure OF precaution Or
internal police, preliminary 70 efficient lnea-
sures Of Interior defence we cannot refrain
from expressing an opinion that to interdict
It indefinitely, is a measure partial IN Its
operation, net e.lly imposing unequal and
intoierable burthens, not only on the carry
inc and eonmercial states, but abandoning
invaluable rights, reserved and guaranteed
by solemn compact. !.
6 Resolped, That on this fair exposition Of
the great charter of our rights, we,consider
the acts, interdicting forsign commerce, In
compatible with justice and good faith IN
regard to the carrying & commercial states,
and .eieplore the existence of a system OF
statutes and regulations, so novel Ia princI-
PIE. and not enforced, throushthe medium
of courts ofjustice, but,by executive edlcts,
and military and maritime force--tha' we
view with regret this extension OF the ex-
ecutive power, and the continuance OF po-
hey ruinous to ourselves, and insufficient in
preventing the aegressions OF foreign ma
tons.
Resolved, That while we deprecate wars,
waged from motives of ambition, partiality
or prejudice, for national aggrandizement,
or in the uncertain expectation of results,
which, if realized, havsno practical value,
and bring with them no compensation, for
the calamities thro' which they are gained,
