rs Guns. We had better expend all we
have in preserving it, and leave il TO our
children than TO leave them anything
else,
We are under obligations as citizens 10
bear arms in defense Of the Government,
and to do so y0hsqtaTilg Should we wait
to be forced into the field, we would not
be doing our duty; and the moral effect
of popular support would be lost 70 the
Government. This call is addressed TO
MS all, do not look around you for poor
man who may be obliged to SO. Let him
who is in situation TO enlist step forth
and say to others, come II is a great
matter with us to know that we are in
the right "Thrice armed is he who
hath his quarrel just" Without discussing
the past, I sag 10 you that tbis rebellion 'cas
| produced by ambitious men az he South WITH
OUT REASON OR EXCUSE We do not deny
! the right of revolution, but those who
undertake such movements can be justi-
! fed only by such reasons as our fathers
had, such as are recorded by Jefferson in
the Declaration of Independence. Bur
| THERE is no SHADOW OF EXCUSE FOR THIS
/ ATRoCoUs ATTEMPT or THE REBELS 10
! OVERTHROW OUR GOVERNMENT.
! Remember the tolls Of our fathers, who
settled this country, and the heroic
struggle of the Revolution, the wisdom OF
the trainers of the Government, the mild
est and best in the world. All that has
been gained for us in the past tho rebels
seek to Wrest from us. They seek TO
sever an immense section of our country,
and TO accomplish this they, in their des-
peratiOn, would sell that section back 70
old England, from whom our fathers
conquered il. IL is for us TO say wheth-
err this shall be done. The people can
prevent il, but if we would prevent ii we
must rise in our might; we must show
some of the spirit of cur torefathers
while we say 20 the Executive; You arc
acting rs our agent, and fye hold you re.
sponsible for the preservation Of th'
Union. We must also say we are here
with men and means 10 enable you "a
perform your duty. II b idle to call fol-
the suppression OF the rebellion unless
yya naas the needfnl exertion 20 suppress
il.
The Union men Of the South need on
immediate aid, and il Is due to them
They have sacrificed a thousand time
more than we have for the Government
The very idea Of Government requires
protection to The citizen in return for hi
allegiance.
We must save tho MisHiaaippi-th
highway Of the West Think what thi
Valley is to be when filed by your chill
dren. Talk Of treaties with men whit
have broken the Constitution made bJ
Washington. We must never yield thi
river or any part of its banks. / woult
see every man in the West in the field
aud sacrificed, before would consent &
yield il. Let the great State of Ohio
then, make such response TO the pres
ent call az will accomplish her full shar
in suppressing this accursed rebellion.
