Resoired, That Thu meeting do freely and cordially
respond Ia the pa trotic exerons which are nos ma
king Throughout the county by the friends OF re- an
| nexaton. That we believe the re-aDnexao of
Texas 10 he Uquisile no less 10 the well-bsng and
safety Of the Union, than to the improvement nj and
prosperity of this district, forming il does vast
and important portion Of the great valley Of the Mis-

this invaluable portion of our trade, lor,
tended does sound policy declare that it should
| form part and portion of our territory
Rssored, That as citizens OF Pittsburgh and West
Pennsy lvania, the Importance of this great
brought home TO, and appeals to in the
forcIble manner. We have already experienced the
value of the trade that has been carried between
our citizens and Santa Fe, which has been lstely
shut out from us by an ordinance Of the Mexican
Government, and we believe that the Ration
of Texas presents fair hope and prospect Of q re-
storation Of this lucrative branch of our internal
commerce and as home market is the safest, and
least liable TO be shaken by foreign enactmcDts
regulations, so it is to the people OF this district
object Of importance to secure by the admission
of Texas a new and increased demand and a domes.
tic market for our manufactured articles
Resolved, That throwing aside all considerations
merely sectional interested view the annex
alton OF Texas as vtally important to the integrity
and safety OF Union. We wish to see no Euro
pean power enjoying the free navigation Of
| crn rivers, pushing her manufactures and produce
into the very centre Of the land, Gripping and de-
stroying our own filling the gulf with her fleets and
violating by her insoent assumption of the right OF
search, the honor and sanctity of the American flag
We wish and will tolerate interference with our
sister and neigheorng republic, bound as she is to
by all the ties which unite people to another
by similarity Of laws, Institutions, habits and Ian
suage, cannot consent 10 the people Of Texas
oecome The tributaries Of our ancient and only
enemy.
ReSolred That we consider it Q sacred duty on the
part OF this Government TO disseminate the principles
Of repubcanism, and the equal rights of man, thai
il Is duty which we have taken upon ourselves and
should we fail in this we wanting in one Of The
great objects Of our national existence. The history
of the people Of Texas has been but a rem titon OF
our own, like US they have suffered from the weighty
pressure Of the parent government like US they have
asserted the rights Of freemen, like they have
fought and bled in the same holy cause, like US they
have achieved their independence ard as we once
struggled IN the inlsnc, Of our freedom 70 maintain
the invaluable acquisition, now do they contend
against the inrigues Of foreign diplomacy and the
threats of further hostilities secure the position
which they have at length attained Bul here ia. par
allel ceases, they are but few and feeble, and Amer
cans IN heart and feeling, they seek for sym
PATTY and protection where neither can surely be
refused--beneath the sheterifg wing of the Ameri.

Re@ired, That view ing the objects aud end of our
government TO be the extension of the Liberty and hap
W
to give heed TO the suggestions Of q contracted and
narrow policy, and thus TO prevent the people Of Tex
as from all participation in the blessings of our
ederscy, at the same time closing the door upon the
last reasonable expectation which is afforded US for
the improvement Of the African race and the final
exurpation OF slavery, by giving them an opportun "
oil passing into the republic of central America where
difference OF color creates Distinction where
they v I'LL be received in fact and not in theory az
equals, and where they will be entitled TO ali ths
privileges and enjoynents of society As the true
friends then Of the liberty Of ALL we earnestly re-
commend this fact to the consideration II the reople
