Concludes: To remain peaceable and quiet, we again repeat, is our earnest desire; and breathing the most friendly disposition towards our neighbors, countrymen and fellow-subjects, we intreat them to behold in us those endearing connections, and not suffer a difference in opinion, or mischievous and groundless reports, to hurry them into acts of violence against us, which the laws of God and man will justify us in resisting.
