to relieve the Union sentiment Of the Sc
coded States from the cruel domination bv
which it is oppressed and sienced; to unfurl
the stars and stripes in the midst of those
who long to look upon them, and to restore
the flag that bears them to the forts and ar
seHals from which disloyal m an have torn it.
Their mission will be one of peace, unless
wicked and blood thirsty men shall unsheath

claim no privilege or blessing which our
brethren of the South shall not equally
share. Their country is our country, and
ours is theirs and that unity both of cnun-
