I don't see a lot of secessionist traction there -- actual secessions being forty-five years into the future from 1814.

The New England states did not support the war. They feared a land invasion and refused to place their militias under federal control. The Hartford Convention resulted in a declaration calling on the Federal Government to protect New England and to supply financial aid to New England's badly battered trade economy.
Which doesn't sound like a secessionist idea for anybody. Note also the content in
connecticuthistory.org. New England's shipping industry had taken a hammering and they were depressed.

And by the date it was read into the Congressional Record, the War of 1812 had been over for two weeks with the Treaty of Ghent, and was moot.
