Charles Francis Adams to William H. Seward Secretary of State, Washington, D. C. RESOLUTIONS. That this meeting in the town of West Hartlepool, convened by public advertisement, and under the presidency of Ralph Ward Jackson, esq., of Greatham Hall, having heard from Edward Grubb, esq., of Rotheram, statements respecting the civil war at present being waged in the United States of America, is of opinion that the time is now come when it is proper to reaffirm the sentiment which has so long distinguished the British people against the system of slavery in all its forms; and in consistency with that sentiment, this meeting is further of the opinion that the conduct of the United States government, in the prosecution of the war, merits the approval and moral support of all Englishmen. That a copy of this resolution be transmitted by the chairman of this meeting to the American legation in London. Moved by the Reverend J. Martin. Seconded by Mr. E. Lowden. Adopted by the meeting, with two hands held up against it. RALPH WARD JACKSON, Chairman, December 17, 1863
