pleuro-pneumonia in our State now, nor has there ever been any, but we need laws to arrest it if any should be introduced. Resolved, That nations, as well as individuals, who ask justice should do justice, therefore, we insist that our Government should as carefully and vigilantly seek to prevent the exportation of contagious cattle diseases as to prevent their importation. This policy would create a feeling of national comity, and an effort to eradicate the scourge of nations (the cattle diseases). WOLVES, DOGS, SHEEP. The committee on resolutions submitted the following, which was adopted: Whereas, It has become impossible to keep sheep in safety in many parts of this State, owing to the loss occasioned by the ravage of wolves and dogs: therefore, be it Resolved, That this association petition the State Legislature to increase the bounty on wolves and the tax on dogs. Resolved, That the President of this association be requested to appoint a committee to draft a bill embodying the sense of this meeting in reference to a wolf and dog law. |
