der paramount obligation to our
common country to the great con-
federacy of states.--Ws further con
ceive that while we are in actual
service. and daring the period for
which we were ordered into service,
your excelsency's power over US, as
Governor OF the state Of Vermont is
suspended.
Ii it Is true as your Exeellens7
states, that we are cut ofthe jurisdic-
ton or controul of the Executive of
Vermont" we would ask from whence
your Excellsney derives tie right, or
presumes to exercise tho power of
ordering US to return from the service
IN which we are now engaged IL we
were legally ordered into the service OF
the United States, your Excelleney
must be sensible that you have no
authority to order Us out OF that ser
vice. If we were illegally ordered
snto the service, OGr continuance in il.
IS either voluntary or compulsory. IfI
voluntary, it gives no one right to
demonstrate or complain; ifcompulsory.
we can appeal to the laws OF our
country Tor re lress 4 sa;nst th,4es xss.ci.
ILLEGALLY restrain Us Of eu- liberty. In
either case, we cannot perceive the
right your ExceIleney has to iuterfsSelI
"a the misunderstanding the subject
IN this light, we conceive il our duty
to declare uneduiyecaily tG yourl
lexceiiency, that we shall rot obey your
Iexcellsney's order for returning; but
shall continue in the service of our
country until We are legally and
honorably discharged. An invitation
or order TO desert the Standard of our
country, will never be obeyeb by us,
sitho' it proceeds from the Governor
and Captain General of Vermont.
Perhaps it is proper, that we should
content ourselves with merely giving
your Exceliency the reasons which
prevailed upen us to disregard your
proclamation but we are impressed
with the belief, that our duty to our
selves, to the soldiers under our com
mand, and to the public, require that
we should expose TO the world, the
motives which produced, and the OBJ
Jects which were intended to be accom-
Piished by such an extraordinary
proclamation. We shall take the
liberty to state to your Excellency
plainly, cur sentiments on this sub
jet.
We consider your proclamation as a.
gross insult to the officers and soldiers
IN service, in as much as it implies
that they are so ignorant of their
rights as TO believe you have authority
10 command them in their present sit
uation or so abandoned as to follow
your iasidious advice. We caanot
regard your proclamation in any other
light than ga an unwarrautabIe stretch
OF executive authority, issued from the
worst Of motives, to effect the basest
purposes 1t is in our opinion,
