auu h eterpen, Of our controversy with Mexico
weaL hallcIvized distracted Repubic-have
donnded IN the honor and humanity OF our Government.
g. Rlsolced Tia, the preience now set up, that the
nresep, war has been forced upon our Government. by
The asgreisors OF Mexico is too shallow and the nar-
rst;ye mich has been given 10 this community OF the
origin of the revolt of Texas its annexation TO this Re-
M bic and the pre,eu. thereon is too
fictitious 10 deserve n sober refutson. Every at
all acquainted with the history of the transactions By
which these caamtes have been brought upon our Ma
linn mus, know that the p-e,ence s1d the narrative
ferred to sustained but by the sghte, possible sem
bance Of truth.
: Rssalrsd That the policy OF Government: toward
England compared with that pursued toward Mexico,
either reveals the cowace Of rulers In shrinking from
an equal and bouncing one whom II would be nc
honor IN eye Of warrior 70 cohqueT or else i s out
another stroke that policy which has long governed
our RepybIc-a policy which would discourage the extern
sion Of our territory Sorthward because il mus; enlarge
the area OF freedom; but promote the indefinite enlarge
nent Of our borders Southwark because il would increase
the might OF that savehotIng ogarchy by which IL
starred Union is virtually ruled.
Rs,ored That as true friends Of our country and her
free Institutions feel bound aloud against that
spirit conquest which 50 unonshingy shows Itself in the
official orders and official organ Of the Executive Govern
ment-
o Resoir.d That in our Judgment, our in this
va: row prosecuted for the conquest OF Mexico. would
be greater calamity our country and the world than
our oeea;-nasmuch as 1t would weaken our Union oy
extending multiplying its members and destroy
ing its oasnce-iuasmuch it would foster among our
people the love Of conqUes-enhance the Influence Of
military men, which has always been detrimental 10 the
peace and prosperity OF nations, especially nose under
Republican Governments but more than all inhsnGcn
IA our success would establish IN our Government the
aceuteDcy Of Shareholders and restore the accurseG
system OF slavery regions from which had been e
PEELED By the noble consistency OF the Mexican Republi-
cans.
10 Resolrsd Tha. as friends of suffering humanity
friends Of the true welfare and glory of our country
friends the peace and prosperity OF the American
nations soemnly hound 10 oppose the prosecution
\ u
enIny our fellow citizens the and nevita-
bic results Of his conflict with Mexico b. spreading before
them the and trying 10 make them sensible OF the
terrible wickedness OF that we may cssuade as many
as possible from selling themselves, for the patr sum OF
soldiers wages, became either butchers OF men them
elyes or the victims of the devouring sword OF the battle
field or me wasting pestience Of the camp or worse tha
either TO be demorazed and bruted by the horrible in
auences which always have, and always must, oese
soldiers life.
H. Resoioed. Tha, the hypocrisy of the Scribes and
! Pharisees-those rulers OF the Jews whom Jesus OF
Nazareth go bravey reouked-was pure honesty in CON.
parson with the hypocrisy othoe men OF property ana
stacding in our country who would now DINO me heaF
burdens OF war rrievOus be borne, aHd iasteh"
Them upon the shoulders Of the poor unfortunate. the
,houghess the youns-burdens which they themselves
would not touch with much az one OF thelE nneerf
IL R,soUsG Tha, II the laboring classes IN tns ana
overv nther country would decline volunteering to MI the
ranks OF saughter-uiitary demi.goGs and poi'tca ~
d.marocues would soor find their vocHtion gone
swords would be beaten into plow-shares spears mo
nynning hook, and the patton would hear war no more
- RfsOlred That Christianity as taught by us only
infaIibe teacher s prominently the Tbsio o. Ptcce-
the title of it's divine founder Is the PTtFCt ~ rae
therefore the professors hnc teachers OF maj eso
ought 10 be the open steadss ddroca;es Of Pace ht all
times and in all places.
| Mr. May, in presenting these resolutions spoke
briefly and impressively in their support and was
followed by C. B. sedgwick and J. w North on
the same side The Resolutions were then adopt
ed though some OF the other sort had left their own
meeting 10 come over and vote against them as well
as 10 interrupt the speakers with Kisses, groans and
vulgar EXPLANATIONS. Not succeeding thus, cannon
was pented in the rear Of the church and fred two
or three times to disturb and annoy the meeting.
On motion OF Rev. Mr. MINER, il was
Resold as the of this meeting. That our fellow
citizens agreeing Substantially with the above sentiments
in other towns be respectfully invited TO call meetings Tor
promoting the principles OF peace
Resolved That the proceedings Of this meeting, sign
ed bv its officers be given for publication 10 the differ
en newspapers ofthis village, and sent to the kepre'
sentative in Congress from this District and to the Sena
tors OF this State.
On motion of j. A. ALLEN, it was
Pesolucd That the noble manly and independent stand
maintained by the N T. Tribune the subject OF the
War with Mexico deserves. as j, will most assured!y
receive, the cordial approval OF all the true friends
of Peace nnd Humanity.
Thus closed The rival meetings of the friends OF
War and Peace respectively in Syracuse. The
sentiments pressed and the conduct Of the parties
respectfully are mos; significant. Even the Syria
cuse Daily Star which has done It's be ST 10 stimu-
late the War spirit, is ashamed Of the company in
which il finds itself, and pointedly condemns the
course of the War men, whose way of vindicatng
the fair fame of their village affords capital an
ILLUSTRATION of the policy of defending National
Honor by rapine and butchery. These proceed
ings cannot fail to produce salutary effect wher
ever they nre read heard of. For although it is
notorious that the Loco Foco rutiiansm which con-
grega,es around Salt Point is more shameessly
depraved and beasily than that of any other portion
of the State yet ii is not the less true that the spirit
manifested in this case is one which War tends 10
develop and tolerate every where. Let tie Chris
iian the Moralist the Philanhropst the devotee OF
Improvement and Human Brotherhood, deeply pom
der these things.
