Here's my attempt :) It was an interesting exercise.
BTW "the sufferors at Carracas" surely refers to US help sent after an earthquake in
Caracas Venezuela in 1812 and thus he asks for the same to be extended to our own
citizens who suffered similarly

A Resolution for the relief of the Inhabitants of the County of New Madrid
 
Whereas in the catalogue of miseries and afflictions, with which it has pleased the supreme being of the universe, to visit 
the inhabitants of this earth, there are none more truly a___ and destructive than Earthquakes. Man's wisdom can not foresee 
nor [his] precaution guard against them. In whatever sections [of] the habitable world, this wreck of matter, these 
convulsions of nature occur, they do not fail profoundly to impress us with awe, and to ignite(?) our astonishment at their 
terrible effects. As members of the great human family, our deepest commiseration should not fail to be excited(?), and our 
hearts expanded with charity for the relief of those whose lives(?) are/were(?) saved from the general wreck. We ought never 
to forget that what was their fate yesterday, may be ours tomorrow.  And whereas it is notorious to this general assembly that 
the inhabitants of the late(?) District now County of New Madrid in this Territory, have lately been visited with several 
calamities of this kind, which have deluged(?) large portions of their country and involved in the greatest distress, many 
families, whilst others [have] been entirely ruined, whole districts of country have been annhilated? and many valuable farms 
truly(?) destroyed. Many of these our unfortunate fellow citizens are now wandering about without a home to go [to or a] roof 
to shelter them from the pitiless storms. And whereas the best light in which the(se?)
calamities are viewed by the enlightened humane governance(?) of the United States, has been conspicuously manifested, by 
their liberal arbitrations(?) in favor(?) of the sufferors(?) at Carracas. This General Assembly can not therefore doubt(?) 
but what it will be equally ready to extend relief to a portion of its own citizens, under similar circumstances. Be it 
therefore resolved(?) by the General Assembly for the Territory of Missouri, that they do recommend the inhabit- ants of the 
said County of New Madrid, who have thus suffered, to the consideration of the National Legislature, and that in the opinion 
of the said General Assembly, provisions ought to be made by law, for granting to the said inhabitants relief, either out of 
the public land(?) or in such other way as may ___ meet to the wisdom & liberality(?) of the general government.
