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).

this meeting in reference to a wolf and dog law.
