and bro,bers hay, left their loved ones, to brave
the dangers of the field of battle and the dis
eases incident to camp life. with a cheerfulness
never before manifested. The mothers, wives
and sisters also have fully demonstrated their
claim 10 the love and affection of these brave
and gallant men. All tha, women can do. has
been done to alleviate the distress OF our SOL
diers, and thereby stimulate them to duty.
Such being the character OF our constituents.
it is impossible to measure the clai they have
upon us, their agents. Energy. integrity and
purity ofpurpose economy aud industry are, at
| least, due from us to them.
Aside from the claim that our constituents
have upon US for all this. the only true reward a
public servant can win for himself is to he able
to claim. when communing with his Maker. an
honest and vigilant effort at public duty. 1T we
cannot claim this for ourselves. when we shall
| surrender up our trust. we will have worked to
little purpose.

presented by this rebellion with the people OF
