State of Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations.

In General Assembly, January Session, A. D. 1845.

Whereas, certain resolutions of the General Court of the State of New-Hampshire, in rela-
tion to the trial and imprisonment of Thomas W. Dorr, passed on the 27th day of December,
1844, have been transmitted by the Governor of that State to his Excellency the Governor of
this Staet, and by him have been communicated to this General Assembly, and it appears, from
said resolutions, that the same are to be communicated to both Houses of Congress, and to the
Governors of the several States and territories:

Resolved by this General Assembly, That said resolutions, marked as they are by the grossest
falsehood, ignorance and impertinence, are at once disgraceful to the Legislature of New-
Hampshire, and insulting to the government and people of Rhode-Island:

Resolved, That the Secretary be instructed to return said resolutions to the Governor of
New-Hampshire, accompanied by a copy of these resolutions ; and that his Excellency the
Governor be requested to transmit a copy of these resolutions to each of the Governors of
the States and Territories of this Union, and that our Senators and Representatives be requested
to lay the same before their respective Houses of Congress.

True Copy - Witness,
HENRY BOWEN, Secretary.
