ton the General Assembly of Connecticut
remembers with equal feelings of horror the
massacre of her sons at Fort Ledyard in the

sacling of our national capital IN the war OF
| 1912 by British troops, and the letting loose
of privateers from English ports to prey
upon American commerce in the late war OF
| the rebellion and that we do not acknowl-
edge by the passage of the above resolution
any responsibility on the part of any Amer
| lean citizen for the outrages complained OF.

not pass.
