due to fellow citizens. The Government L
represent, is tie same our Jorefutheis estab-
lished, to form a more perfect Onion-pro-
vide for the common detence--promote the
general welfare, aud secure to us and our
posterity the blessings Of liberty. Wei
mean truly to represent its Impartial Justice,
But no one eau expect the privileges Of
a :itisen and behave as an enemy. No one
can expect kindness or courtesy who does
not extend it to others.
Citizens are reminded that the troops now
stationed here are'those of their own Gov
ernmsnt, and are tdwfuHy here on their
country's soil--common to all citizens, and
that they are here for the protection of their
fellow eitizens-aud for the prosecution OF
their country's enemies, the "Rebds. = -.
Those persons, Male or Female, engaged in
circulating flying rumors and creating false
excitements are particularly learned:
Oar soldiers are to support the rights Of
all, and were | to permit flying reports and
insulting remarks 70 be made the means OF
mischief, annoyance, and insult to the ser.
vice or its servants, they would provoke re-
taliatiops and lead to much useless suffering.
l trust, fellow citizens, you will under.
stand and appreciate the justice OF these
principles, and by your conduct obviate the
necessity for harsh measures.
