WHEREAS, Upon numerous occasions,

written TO by friends ut home, inquiring
how we felt in regard to the prosecution
of the war under the late acts of our.
| Government; and whereas, Believing that
although we are soldiers, and doing duty
as such in the field, TO save our country
from the deadly grasp of treason, we
have not forfeited our citizenship nor the
privilege of giving utteranee to our politi-
cal sentiments, take this public manner Of
answering the enquiries of our friends
and proclaiming aloud our continued
loyalty to the best Government on earth.
and OUT bitter scorn and contempt for the
scheming d%emagogues and traitorous
scoundrels at home, who are seeking its
Acknowledgement. Therefore
ResolUed, That we will support the
Government Of the United States in its
efforts to crush this wicked rebellion un-
der any and all circumstances-that we
will not stop to inquire whether any
measure il may choose to adopt to sti1e
treason and restore our glorious Union, is
impOlitic or unconstitutional, but will 90
right on with the work we enlisted for,
and never lay down our arms until re-
bellion has ceased in the land.
ReSolUed, That the history of the world
does not show another nation upon earth,
whose people SO fully enjoyed the inal-
ienable rights of man, where labor was SO
well compensated, merit so generally re-
warded, and where all the blessings and
emolumenis of social and political life
SO readily obtained and thoroughly pro.
tected.

the North and the South, were equally
the recipients of this National favor and
