II is with extreme pain,the general has heard
OF much iiccnuous conversation in this Camp,
srbversivc of every principle of subordnation
and discipline of patriotism and honour !;
and tending to dissolve those high and solemn
obligations, by which every military man is
bound to the service of his country.
$" He is fully apprized OF the acts which
have been employed to setiuce the incautions
and inaocent from their duty, to obtain their
signatures to a bond of infatny, and TO involve
them in utter disgrace and ruin. He knows
that his life has been menaced by traitor,
but he is persuaded, a great majority Of the
troops he commands, Americans by birth and
in principle, will sooner suffer martyrdom,
than attach an eternal stigma to their names
and families, or raise their hands against the
country which, gave them birth.--He knows
also that this camp, like all others Of equal
extent, comhreherds every sfecies Of human
dehravity and on strict scrutiny will exhibit
the various traits of character, from the pat
riot and the hero, to the coward and the villain
men of profigate lives, fugitives from JUS
tice, and deserters from foreign service.
But were the, general assured that every
man of his camp had combined to violate their
oaths, to abandon their dutyy and defy the go
vcrnment and the laws, by an act of despera-
,ion as foolish as it would be cowardDy, wick
cd and pcrfidious, they should march to the
gibbct over his body, because his life, COM
pared to faithful discharge of the high trust
con fded to him, would be but a feather in the
balance in such disgraceful extremity, the
General would save his own honour, by shoot
ing the first man who resisted his orders, and
he can have no doubt, he would be gallantly
seconded by every gentleman who wears a
commission, and by every soldier of courage
and honour . 81 4
