expeditions are organizing within the United
States for fhe same unlawful purpose; and where
as certain citizens and Inhabitants Of this coun-
try, unmindful of their obli9 ations ald duties
and of the rights of friendly Power, have par
ticipated, and are about to participate, in these
enterprises, so derogatory to our national char
acter and so threatening to to our tranquility,
and are thereby incurring the severe penalties
imposed by law against such offenders
Now, therefor, I, FRANKLIN PIERCE;
President of the United States, have issued this
my proclamation, warning all persons who shall
connect themselves with any such enterprise or
expedition, that the penalties of the law de-
nounced against such criminal conduct will be
rigidly enforced and i exhort all good citizens,
as they regard our national character, as they
respect our laws or the law of nations, as they
value the blessings of peace and the welfare of
their country, to .discountenance, and by all
lawful means to pt event, such criminal enter

and punishment every such offender.
