The merciless enemy having pissed

less remorseless flames-seduced from theil
ruasterSg their wives and children, and theil

slaves-destroyed that portions of oui
crops and provisions which they could noi
'carry away, burned our barna, shops an !
machinery--driven,off bur "work atiimuU
flocks und herds; and sh'^wn' by tija mosi
.unmistakable evideaces.' that 'their i$av?g<
purpose is either to- utterly destroy, or tc
reduce Os tb abject slavery; Therefore,
Resolved, Tb^t this 'desolating inarch,
this fiendiah purpose, thia remorseless and
a rage cruelty, has but convinced UH tba
