WHEREAS, the following resolution has been pre-
sented for consideration to the Legislature of the
State of Pennsylvania, to wit :

"Resolved, That the people of Pennsylvania being
deeply interested in the protection and promotion
of the domestic trade in guano, do hereby request
the President of the United States to give imme-
diate and efficient protection to all persons engaged
in the same, and especially to cause the govern-
ment of St. Domingo to restore at once the Island
of Alta Vela, in the Caribbean Sea, to the juris-
diction of the United States, whence it was forcibly
wrested without color of right, and to make ample
atonement for her gross insult to our flag, and the
robbery and imprisonment of our citizens ; and
until such restitution be made, the United States
cannot consistently treat with St. Domingo for the
purchase of any territory."

Action of
Pennsylvania.
