Resolved, That concession, harmony and forbearance under repeated and long continued injuries, cease to be national virtues, and that our government will best represent the national spirit, by entering into no compromise with tyranny and by submitting to no national wrong.

Resolved, That the interference of England to prevent the peaceful annexation of Texas to the Union, is a measure as unprecedented and unjustifiable, as insulting to this Republic, and requires speedy explanation by the British ministry.

Resolved, That the recent developments of the intrigues of the British government with those of Mexico and Texas, to defeat the policy of this nation in relation to the annexation of Texas, demonstrates the sagacity, wisdom and patriotism of such of our statesmen as, by their efforts, brought this great measure to a triumphant consummation.
