whereas, we, as loyal citizens and soldi-
ers of the United States, desire to escape
the ignOminy Of q suspicion of even the
faintest sympathy with the man who de-
clares thaployalty to a republic is anean-
ingless and indefnate term, we the off
icers of the 40th Regiment, New York
Volunteers, originally known as the
"Mozart Regiment" do here by pro.
claim these resolutions:
ReSOlUed. That we entered the service
of the United States, and not of any par.
ty, with the full understanding of the OBJ
legations we assumed, and the sincere
determination 10 defend our national fac
and Its authorized Government against
all Eaitors, weiher demostic or goreign; /;
that to the last puisation of our oeaGts we
we will maintain the honor of that flag
and the territorial limits beoueathed by
our fathers against all assailantS; and for
cur fidelity to this trust and this sacred
duty we appeal to the blood-slalned fields
of Williamsburg, Far Oaks Charles
City, Crossroads, Glenda al and Orchards,
Malvern Halls. Bull Run, Chanlijly, Fred
erlcksbur5, and many other MINOR en-
gagements, and that the loss of over eight
hui dred of our brothers IN arms in these
hard fought fields shall ever inspire US to
still warmer devotion and yet nobler sac
ifices.
ReSolUed, That we indignantly repu-
diate aHy claim of Fernando Woods to
our sympathy, our Cbligations or our re
spect, We d0clair that he never fur
nished man or a dollar for, our benifit
whatever; that the stand of colors pre-
sented July, 1861 and which Fernando
Wood assumed the credit of presenting
from his own means. were paid for By
the citizens of New York, aud never cost
Fernando Wood one cent; that we have
no sympathy with his principals, no re-
speot for his character, andhoped the day
is not far diStasnt when such traitors viii
be Stunned as lepers and Outcasts
ResotUed, That our sentiments in re.
specs to this Rebellion ale expressed in
the speech of Major-General Butler at
The ACADEMY of Music, New York, on
the I'd Of April, 1868; that we will never
hesitate or falter In our support of the
Government of our country; that so long
as God gives US strength we will wage
unrelenting war on every traitor unlil,
if it must be, the last vestage of their
race is eKtngushed. la sla
