RC and enclosure (DLC). RC 1 p.; docketed by JM and Edward Coles. The enclosed 22 Oct. 1814 resolution (2 pp.), signed by Aaron Clark, clerk of the House of Assembly, and John F. Bacon, clerk of the Senate, stated that the New York legislators “view with mingled emotions of Suprize and indignation the extravagant and disgraceful Terms proposed by the British Commissioners at Ghent: That however ardently they may desire the restoration of Peace to their Country they can never consent to receive it, at the Sacrifice of National honor & dignity; that they therefore strongly recommend to the national Legislature the adoption of the most vigorous and efficacious measures in the prosecution of the war as the best means of bringing the Contest to an honorable termination, and of transmitting unimpaired to their posterity, their Rights, Liberties & Independence.”
