national existence for the Christian civilization
of our land for our commerce. arts, our schools;
for all those earthly things which We have been
taught most to cherish and respect.
Such being the magnitude Of the stake in this con-
test can 1t be wondered at that we feel that all that
we have and all that we can do, should be given TO
country in this its great hour Of trial. If there
be man among us who does not feel thus, he should
leave us. We cannot endure the thought Of traitor
Ill the midst Of us. For ourselves, we are willing
10 make every sacrifice necessary to tecure the
triumph of the Government. 1t can have all the re-
sources OF twenty millions Of people. All we ask
OF tits, that it shall use them quickly vigorously,
and wisely. Let M have no disunited counses, no
uncertain policy no insufficient armsments. no pal
tering with rebellion. The crisis is most serious and
imminent. The nation is not i'll Il mood for triiing.
IL believes that the surest means Of suppressing the
rebellion are the best. 1t complains only of delays
vacillation, weakness. 1t wishes the strength Of
the nation to be collected, and when collected used
30 that not q vestige Of revolt remain. We know
that we have the men and the means; we only de.
mand Of the Government that II do what II ls bound
TO do, use them with singeness of purpose, with
wellconsidered plan, under the lead Of the w'sesl
counsel, and the most skful command.
This rebellion is n matter between ourselves and
the Rebels. No person other than an American has
anything TO DO with it. Ii another ntrudes into H.
we must regard and treat him az en- enemy. And il
any foreign Government, forgetting its own duties
attempts interfere in affairs the attempt must
be repelled az we are cure il will be repelled with
that fiinness and spirit which become the American
people and their representatives. II there be any.
thing about which we are all agreed, it ID the wis
dom Of our traditional policy, that We will not in.
terfere in the affairs Of other nations. allow
their interference in ours. To the maintenance OF
this policy the nation is devoted, and the Govern.
meDt can count on the unanimous support Of our
people.
Forasmuch, then, as the actual Rebellion and the
#
that the whole loyal people of tnis country should
be banded together az for the defense OF all
they hold most dear, we here pledge ourselves TO
each other to Congress, and to the President, that,
with all our resources We will support the Govern
uent in the prosecution Of this war, with the utmost
possible vigor, till the Rebellion is utterly over.
