Resotved, That n war with Great Britain
would inevitably lead tn an alliance with
France, apd thus furnish to her ambition the
means and the pretexts for organizing with
in the United States the materials aud in
struments for schemes of future domination.
These materials unhappily abound in the
northern frontier, and in our newly acquired
territory in the south. From such a Contest,
the United States. if unsuccessful. would be
compelled to retire with disgraceful sur
render of the objects of the war, or if sue.
cessful, by contributing to the downfall of
Britain, would be left alone to encounter
power, who, unopposed by the navy of her
