IN common with our comrades In

and every earthly interest, to save
to ourselves and to our pos,erIty
n country and a Government,
the same which, in historic times,
were bought with blood, and es-
ta5lished by that quality Of Wis

seems divine: and,

hopes OF man the cherished
thought Of self-government; and
that they merit the scora of all
lovai citizens and true hearted
soldiers, combining, as they do,

coward.
Resolved, That, despite the
flenzied efforts OF our foes before

of our other toes behind us, We
will abate not one .jot of faith or
hope; but, believing the malnta-
