And now men of Vermont, the last opportunity
is afforded you to furnish without draft the quota
assigned to the State. The country calls for men
to preserve its existence. Let every man feel that
the call is addressed to himself. Let the regiments
that sent out from the State still bear the proud
title of Termont Volunteers. Fill the old reg-
ments. They have stood the brunt of battle like a
wall of iron, and they demand, that their ranks be
replenshed. Fill the uniform companies of active
militia. They were first to respond to the nation s
call, and thereby earned place in the history Of
the State, of which they may well be proud.
Again they are called. Let them leave the State
with full ranks, and with the feeling, that they
carry with them the fervent regards of determ-
ined people. Furnish the men that are required
to complete the quota. And let it be recorded, in
the history of this war for national life, that ver-
mont cheerfully performed her whole duty, and
that although draft was ordered, no draft was
found necessary.
Fly order of His Excellency,
FREDERICK HOLBROOK,
Governor and Commander-in- Chief.
