THE VOICE OF THE ARMY.
Resolutions Representing the Real Sentl-
ments Of Company II, ii9th Reg't p. V.
CAMP NEAR BELLE PLANE, Va,
March % 1869

hhICn ~ l0OH,
Whereas, An effort has been made by
certain party in the North 10 obtain the
moral influence of the Army in the field
in support Of a political principle which
should, and can only be, decided by the
people in their sovereign capacity at the
ballot>hox. And Whereas, The commands
ing officer of tie I49th P. V. has, without
due notice and process, imposed set Of
resolutions upon us, the principles of
which we cannot endorse and sustain:
Therefore RcSolccd That we are in favor
of vigorous prosecution of the war, for a
restoration of the Union, the Constitution,
and the authority of the lars-AND EoR
NO oT7ER PURPOSE.
ReSolUed, That we consider the attempt
to accomplish any thing further by force
Of arms as q dangerous precedent, subver.
sve of the rights of the people, and con.
trary TO the letter and spirit Of the Con,
stitution and that we consider it our du,
ty to frown upon every attempt to Intim.
idate the free action OF the people of the
loyal States on any subject pertaining to
the politica! condition of the country.
Resolved, That we are opposed to the
Emancipation Proclamation of the first Of
January, 1868, as an uucaled for and ille>
gitimate proceeding; WHICH has proved
disastrousNo our cause, as well as subver>
siye Of the principles of republican form
of government.
ReSolced, That the efforts OF certain per
sons in the NortL to obtain the real SEM
timents Of the people North and South,
in General Convention, are conciliatory
in their influence and are destined to
produce beneficial results, if properly res.
pected by the Administration.
Resolved, That while we earnestly and
anXiously desire return of peace, yet We
are not so slavishly attached to it as to be
willing TO accept 1T on dHy terms nor in,
deed can We accept any thing short of Q
restoration Of the Union and arecognilior
Of the supremacy of the Constitution and
the laws.
These being our real sentiments, we
hprpuntO nfiy our names
Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1863-04-08

MeSSrS. Editors The foregoing resolu
tions were gotten up by our Company to
let the friends at home know that we are
not altogether bamboozled out Of cur lib.
erty of speech, and compelled noJens rolens,
to bear the cross Of Aboltionism. We
are in favor of serving our country as long
as such service tends to support constitu-
tional liberty; but when the Government
sinks into one man poCer, (if such event
should ever happen, and we are fearful
that it may he close upon us, we VIII then
be in favor of that one man do the fighting
to support his Government. We are here
to fight for restoration Of the Union,-
and if the President will be good enough
to US TO let US finish the job before he
makes another contract, we will very
cheerfully give him the tools ahd let him
fight the irrepressible congloherated Abs
olition humbug till he's sick of it.. And if
our" shoulder strap" patriots wish to assist,
they shall have the privilege granted most
willingly, with this proviso that they pay
their own expenses, for we would not ike
TO be taxed to support an army Of such
ex,ravagant proclivitos. But Messrs. Ed
itor, while we make these resolutions to
place ourselves fairly on the record, it
must be borne in mind, that We do not
wish TO influence thereby any per-
son, let him be of what party he may, for
we hold that the Army is the servant of
the People, and instead Of US compelling
them by force to obey our dicta, we are
subject 10 their direction and control.
You may think the list OF names To the
resolutions are few for Company. But
you must remember that our Company is
sma!l-only mastering in all As men SO
you see we have an overwhelming mojor-
ty; and what is still more, every private,
except 3, signed them. This shows where
Aboliiionism is in the army. Other Com
panies in the regiment are with us in sem
timent, but not so bold in action.

AN ELOQUENT ExTRACT.-From an eloquent
sermon preached in Savannah, Georgia, by Rev.
Mr.. Elliott, of the Episcopal Church, we take
the following eloquent extract:
Peace, with it's soft eyes and radiant wing has
not come to us, but victory has Victory under
circumstances most glorious and unexpected
not only on the land but upon the sea. Her an
gel has planted one foot the earth, and the
other on the ocean, and with his sword of VEN
geance has smitten this insulting and n-glori-
Gus nation. And what noble spirit he has in
fused into the heart Of our Confederacy How
it has warmed anew into feryor Virginia, that old
mother of heroes and of statesmen. Under the
shadow of the Federal Government, she seemed
to be sinking into the slumber of death, as one
dies under the shade OF the poisonous Upas tree.
But at the war cry of her children, s.Sic Semper
Tyrannus,' how her rich blood has rushed back
upon her heart, and startled her into life. The
sound of freedoms cry has disenchanted her,
and she has sprung full armed into the arena
Her noble acts have gathered around her from
her hills and from her valleys, from all fields of
historic fame, from the blue waters of the Ches-
apeake, to the dark rushing torrent of the Kan
awha-sons worthy of such a mother. All her
old energy came back to her. Proud, fearless,
indomitable, she looks into the very eye of tyr
amy, and makes it quail before her majesty OF
right and truth! The mother of States, she bares
her bosom to receive upon it the strokes which
are aimed at her children. Hurting defiance in
the teeth OF [fer oppressors she prepares herself
to conquer or die. She hopes, she prays, she
struggles for victory, but knowing that every
thing is dependent upon her bold stand, she fear
lessly takes 1t.
Ii the genius OF evil is to prove triumphant, If
legitimate government is again to fall, let it at
least TALL with honor-shame alone hasno future.

We learn from the Holiidaysburg sRegister, =
that the annual meeting of the Brethren, or Dun.
kerS, is now being held in Morrison's Cove, Blair
county, and is largely attended by preachers and
members of that denomination from all parts OF
the United States in which they reside. These
Christian people are known by the name of Ger
man Baptists, but they prefer being called by the
name of tsBrethren.'' They number about 8,
200 members in the United States, and are most
numerous in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Mary
land and Virginia. According to- 1hG church
regulations, every brother is allow stand up
in the church and exhibit his talents fol pub
lie speaking, and from among these they select
one of their number sswho is apt to teach" for
their minister, and set him apart for the work,
by the laying on of hands. They have also dea-
cons, and aged women for deaconesses. They
are very plain in dress and language, exemplary
in their conduct, honest in their dealings, frugal
in their habits, and generally wealthy, and able
to help brother in distress. They celebrate the
Lords Supper with its accompanying usages of
love feass, the washing of feet, the kiss of char
ity, and the right hand of fellowship. Their an
nual me etings are generally largely attended by
the community. and their Christian charity is
such that they feed the entire multitude present

Vlile Is made the general rendezvous for all the
runaway negroes in this and some of the adjoin-
ing States, They thrust themselves into the
houses OF our citizens and defy the owners to
oust them. They pilfer, they steal they scruple
az noshihg they respect nobody; they regard no
law, human or divine. Some of them are en-
gagged In hospitals, but they are so numerous that
tnlS is perhaps only fractional part. They
promenade our streets they crowd our side
walks tread our alleys they fill our houses,
cellars, garrets. They are too lazy to work
TOO ignorant to distinguish between liberty and
license; too shameless to respect common de-
cency, and too degraded to observe the ordinary
rules OF morality. The men are thieves and bur-
glars, the women prostitutes and vagrants. There
Is scarcely stable, hog pen or a hen roost
that does not bear the impress of long heel and
hollowless instep. These negroes are curse to
the army, cancer to society, a blight upon hon.
esty, morality and decency, and leech upon the
Government.
