dent to the world that the people of those
states are able to maintain their indepcnd-
cnce and determined to do so and whereas,
to refuse TO recognize their independence and
to attempt by making war upon them to con-
quer and reduce them into suliection to the
other States, would be wrong and violative

tive of our own liberties, since the attempt
would require the raising of vast armies, the
increase OF taxation and the creation of enor-
nous debts TO burthen the people, and since
no Obj ject can be attained by making war up
on those States, for if conquered they would
be ruined and desoIated, and inhabited by a
dissatisfied populaton ever seeking an op-
portunity to throw off the yoke and as we
are not yet ready TO give up our free system
of government, based upon the assent of the
governed, and establish in its place those ar
btrary military forms necessary for the prose.
