To the people Of Ozaukee Couny:
Information has reached me of dis
graceful and violent disturbance Of the
public peace and forcible resistance to the
draft accompanied with personal violence
to the Commissioner for drafting and 9TH
er persons, and destruction of private and
public property in your county. have
taken steps to have the perpetrators and
abettors of these crimes. promptly arrest
ed. They, as we'll as every person inter-
fering with or resisting tho draft, will be
arrested and punished according to the
Proclamation of the President of the
United States, of September 25th 1862.
1t is one of the inherent and necessary
powers of every government to call upon
its citizens, or subjects, 10 take up arms
for its defence. This power exists, beyond
question, in the Government of the United
States. An act of Congress has author
lied the President to call out the militia,
and the draft ordered in this State, IS in
all other loyal States, is made in pursu-
ance of that act Of Congress. Resistance
by you to the government of the United
States, or of this State, is both wrong and
in vain, and can only lead to calamity
The Draft will be executed in your coun-
ty as well as in every other county in the
State, where it has been ordered
have sent sufficient military power
into your county under command Of the
special Provost Marshal of tha United
States, for such and other purposes in or
der to arrest those who are guilty of the
recent violent resistance TO the draft and
to see that the draft is properly enforced
in your county, and I now call on you to
make no further resistance to the lawful
ly constituted authorities, but to submit
to the laws of the country.
Given under my haed and the Great
Seal of the State, at Madison, this llth
day of November, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-two.
