Resolved, That we do not consider that
GU: absence from home deprives us ethel
Of our judgement or our rights as citiZens.--
That when a wanton and wicked rebe lion,
is aiming tn destroy the best OF Govern
ments. to ruin the country, to establish
political community on the bloody denial o
tie rights Of man, 10 substitute eternal wal
and bloodshed for perpetual peace, TO re.
place national unity, prosperity aud power
by anarchy, and n citizen OF party OF that
country has not a word ofcond tmnation fot
! the sectors in such crimes. but on the con.
trsry-by ell he saws or dares 10 do, encoui
oees, comforts and aids their fierce assault
on our national existence 10 one with al
the guilt, and more than all. the cowardict
nf the open rebel, and that, therefore, he i:
the meapeSt, and most contemptible mar
of the two. Bat. when such mau, dlSre.
gsrding the kindness and iorbearance Of

rails and rants against tie necessary: if St.
we're acts Of the supreme authorities, he fall
beneath even the contempt Of q loyal man
and hanging should be considered a compii
lment 10 him
! 81. Tlst IN our opinion the above is tn,
policy Of the Hancock Courier. and ever,
man sdherng 10 the sentiments which i
advocates, an. that therefore we not onl'
hate them as bad. but would rather shoe
Them tnan tie rebels in our front.
| 3D. That we caunot believe that the De
mocralic party OF Hancock, has bccome 81
IdrEeneratrd as the puTsual OF the Hancocl
] Courier would lead Va to suppose. Bn
think the ma jorlty OF them yet true 10 th
lold Jackson stamp, their only fault beinI
! IN their permitting their leaders 10 deceiv
th. ri for time.
/ I,h. That We earnestly request all loya
lcitlzens 10 assist III returning all deserter
Ito our ranks aud Of our lady friends W
would ask that they treat the deserter a
his perjury and covardIce deserve.
5lh. That TO all whom il may concern
we would say, that we wish no more seces
papers ard letters sent 10 us, and that
q proposition To desert, We consider an in
suit TO our manhood which We will wip
out more efectually when the opportnnit
loiIeIs.
9Th. That on entering the service, we o
al least the majority Of us, were pro slave
Try men, but now we are what the So called
or would be Democratic party; cali d.
, sboliliOnists, tot IN our opinion, the free
ling OF the negro has become a military ne
/, cessity, and we would ask our friends 4
home. whether they or us have had III
:. best opportunity Of judging.
A 7th. That IN the expression OF our opln
ions, we are not controlled by any persor
OF persons either commissioned or non-
