Whereas, A conclaye OF cowardly,
wicked, and designing men in the North
are aiding and abetting armed treason. by
saying and doing all they dare openly,
and all they can secretly. against the
Government and in favor OF its enemies;

"3. RESOLVED, That we know and will
keep no other terms with traitors than
their entire submission to the just Gov

or their subjugation, that we are uncom-
promisingly opposed to any armistice or
cession of hostilities whatever, till one or
the other of these ends is reached, or the
utter determination of the foe, if that be
necessary; and that the so-called peace
movement is both folly and a crime, of
which none but towards, traitor, or Woe

federacy Of free States-it is treason in
either case. s1
