Warts Brigade, Biruey' 5 Division,

ment held IN camp on the 9th DAY oil
April, 1868, the following preamble and
resolutions were unanimously adopted
Whereas, Fernando Wood, of New
York City, has on many occasions boast
ed of his paternity to this regiment and
whereas, we, as loyal citizens aud sol
diers of the United States, desire to es-
cape the ignominy of a suspicion of even
the ~faintest sympathy with the man who
declares that loyalty TO a republic is a
meaningless and indefinite term, we the
officers Of the 40th regiment New York
Volunteers, originally known as the
Mozart Regiment" do hereby proclaim
these resolutions:
ResolUsd, That we entered the service
of the United States, aud not of any
party, with the full understanding of the
obligations we assumed, and the sincere
determination to defend our national
flag and its authorized Government against
all traitors, whether domestic or foreign (;
that to the last pulsation Of our hearts
we will maintain the honor Of that flag
and the territorial limits bequeathed by
our fathers against all assailants and
for our fidelity to this trust and this sa-
cred duty, we appeal to the blood-stained
fields of Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, Charles
City Crossroads, Glendale and Orchards,
Malvern Hills, Bull Run, Chantilly, Fred
ericksburg, and many other minor en-
gagements, and that the loss of over eight
hundred Of our brothers in arm in those
hard fought fields shall ever inspire us
to still warmer devotion and yet nObler
sacrifices.
Resohyed, That we Indignantly repu-
diate any claim of FrIuando Wood's TO
our sympathy, our obligations or our re-
spect. We declare that he never fur
nished a man or a dollar for our benefit
whatever; that the stand Of colors pre-
sented TO us at Yonkers, before our de-
parture for the seat of war, in July,
1861, and which Fernando Wood assumed
the credit of presenting from his own
means, were paid for by citizens of New
York, and never cost Fernando Wood one
cent; that we have no sympathy with
his principles, no respect for his charac-
ter, and hope the day is not far distant
when such traitors will be stunned as
lepers and outOasts,
ResolUed, That our sentiments in re
