That there will be a revolution il tn,
war continues many months, no man car
doubt, who is acquainted with human ne
ture, and 10 accustomed to study cause
and effect. The Eastern States are
marching stealthily aud straight forward

On the 9th of January, 1915, a treas

at Reading. which passed a long string Of
incendiary resolutions, from which We

authorities of New England, and that 70
them, under God, the Chief Governor of
the Universe, We look for aid and direc,
ton. and that for the present, until the
public op;uion shall be known, We will not
enter our earnings, pay our continental
taxes, or aid, inform, or assist any officer
in their collection.
In this alarming state of things We can
no longer be silent. When our unques.
tionable rights are invaded, We will not
sit down end coolly calculate what it may
cost to defend them. We will not barter
the liberties of our children for slavish
repose. or surrender our birthright, but
with our lives.
We remember the resistance Of our
fathers to expressions which dwindle into
insigni6cance when compared with those
we are called upon to endure. The rights
which we have received from God We will
never yield to man. We call upon our
State Legislature to protect US in the en-
|joyment of those privileges, to assert
which our fathers died. and to defend
which, We profess, ourselves, ready to re-
sist unto blood We pray your honor
able body to adopt measures Immediately
to secure to US especially our undoubted
right to trade with Great Britain with
in our own State.
We are ourselves ready to aid you in
securing it to US, to the utmost Of our
power, peaeeably if we can-forcibly if
We must, and We pledge.to you the sacri-
III of ourselves and property in support
of whatever measures the dignity and
liberties of this free, sovereign and indie
