WHEREAS, A gigantic rebellion exists in the

whereas, such rebellion. without any justiiable
cause or plausible pretext, aims to overthrow the
system handed down to us from the Revolutionary
fathers and to set up in its place over large
part of our common Country new and hostile sys-
TEN; therefore, without surrendeing or abandon
ing our previous political principles or opinions,
we do
RESOLVE, That in this turning point in the Ma
TONS destiny, it is the imperative duty of every
citizen without distinction of party or creed, to
uphold the permanent authority of the Constitu
ton and Laws of the United States against all OPP
posers and in every part of the Country
That we earnestly protest against any comprom-
se with treason in any form, and against any sus-
pension of the vigorous exercise OF the powers OF
the Government in restoring the complete and un-
disputed sway of our Constitutional rulers, and the
laws in every part of the land, until the end is
reached and the folly and nfatuation Of rebellion
in free Government forever put to rest.
| And we further RESOLVE, That in view OF the
! importance of concentrating and inviting all
! friends of good government into one unbroken
front for defence we recommend that in selecting
CANDIDATES for public Office and trust, due re-
gard, should be had to the feelings and wishes of
those of other political parties, who may unite
with us heartily in the glorious endeavor of saving
our common country.
