lion and the restoration of the Union and
that there should be no divisions and no
party, but the party of the Union, until the
power of the Government is re-established.
That the issues of former political organiza
tions are obsolete, or must remain in abey-
unce until the war is ended That in the
presence of danger, and in view of the posi-
bility OF still greater reverses to our armies
than any which have yet beialen them, it is
the dnty OF every honest citizen to exert his
most strenuous efforts to assist his country
in this hour of peril. That there should be
no discussion as to the origin of the Rebel
lion it should be enough to know that
traitors fired the first gun and that war or
national disgrace was the inevitable result !;
and that these traitors are still in arms, en-
boldened by success, and are spreading de-
ISOLATION and havoc wherever they gain u
foothold. That we can recognize no neu-
trality in this contest. The man who with
holds his help from his country in this emer-
gency is unworthy the name and rights Of
an American citizen, and whoever sympa-
thizes with the Rebels should be ashamed TO
| live in loyal community and ought TO be
excluded from the society of all patriotic
men,
