To my Constituents:
Allow me, first to thank you for the many honors
YOU have conferred upon me, and then to tender to
you my resignation as your representative in the
Senate. After two extra sessions Of your Legisla-
ture it is to be hoped there will not be third. If,
however there should be, you will be unrepresent-
ed as the Constitution clearly forbidS officer of
the army holding seat in the Legislature Against
the plain letter of the Constitution should not take
my seat.
The condition of the whole country is greatly
changed since was chosen your representative
Then all was peace /; now every word is war. So
ciety will soon be convulsed as if upon the verge of
dissolution, ard we are engaged With numerous
and formidable enemy. Our troops have triumphed
over them OH many field; they can, they will
triumph again. Three Companies Of your children,
one at Bethel Church Orange Light Infantry and
two at Manassas, Flat River Guards and Orange
Grays) have shown to the enemy and the world,
the mette of which you are made.
Those who go forth from Orange to do battle for
their country will remember THAT the eyes of the
Orange Light Infantry, the Guards and the Grays
are upon them.
This generation has known nothing but peace to
know, see and feel nothing but war; will be great
trial upon your patience and your patriotism for
war dooms both sides who engage in it to grievous
hardships. You should, if you have not already
done So fully make up your minds to deny your
selves not only Injuries and comforts but the
sares of life The winter of 1871 found your faith
ers in great distress, with an enemy on their soil
they were wanting in salt shoes, clothes, and what
was worse wanting in arms. What if the winter of
1861 shall find you, their children, in like condi
ton? If you have anything of their spirit, you
will bear it bravely, without mumur complaint.
One error, IN common with the people of the
South, you should correct. You underate the pow
err and force of the enemy and their ability to do
you HARM If this he INDUCED in, you will not be
able to bear any the least reverse which may hap
pen to our victorious troops, Gf any should occur,
and occur they must) You will find yourselves re-
preaching one another with calamities and
our own faults. Our troops have, and they will
again perform wonders, but they can't be always
victorious. While we should hope and struggle
and die for the victory, let not despond because
the fortunes Of war may sometimes declare against
us. As fathers, after much and long suffering
had their triumph, their days of thanksgiving and
their nights of ill-omen must have ours, if
are true TO our country, to ourselves and to each
other. -,sg g. ,f -s...-
Thanking you again for your many acts Of kind.
