ResOlved /. That we do not consider that our
absence from home in our countrys service has
deprived us Of all the privileges Of citizenship,
nor destroyed our faculty for discerning the diff
ference between Right and Wrong, Bravery and
Cowardiee, Loyalty and Treaehery, and we re-
sent as All insult TO our common sense. the opin-
ion that the views of the rank and file are sup
pressed by our officers in the army and we here
by declare that we are able, and do now make a
full and free expression of our sentiments.
| = We declare our fixed faith in the Govern
ment of the United States, for whose existence
we are fighting, and for whose maintenance we,
like our fOreiatbers, have pledged our lives, our
fortunes and sacred honor; we recognize 10 9TH
er Government, and desire no other and VIC re-
gard as treason any effort to destroy il from the
so-called "Pcace Party" of the North.
), We have watched with sorrow and grief the
progress Of the so-called Peace Party" of the
North, and we here express our contempt and
aversion to it in all its furms and manifestations.
and wherever i appears; and we earnestly call
the attention of the Government 10 these vile.
traitors G. L. Valandigham ol Ohio and the
whole tribe ol Buiiernuts in the entire North
a. We hal with joy the late order of General
Ro' ecrans, sending all traitors in our midst be-
yond our lines, believing that ARMED foes in
front are preferable TO pretended friends in our
rear aud we recommend its enforcement through
out the entire North.
5. That we indnrse the proclamation of the
tend to the extinction Of slavery and to the es-
tablishment of our Government upon the prin.
clples of Justice, without which We can never
have permanent peace.
6. That we recognize in the recent acts of
Congress, known aS the Conscr.ption and En-
rOlmenl bills, wise and patriotic measures, cal
culated to fill up the ranks of the army, punish
the traitors, aud tighten the burdens of taxation
upon the loyul.
Z. That We rejoice at tn. recent uprising of
the loyal people Of the Morrill, we thank them
for their sympathy and support, and we will as
sure them that we are not weary in well doing
and will take care nf the armed rebels in front,
il they will, as we believe they can, dispose Of
! the traitors in our rear.
! 3. We are glad to see more stringent meas.
ures adopted by our Government for the return
OF deserters. and we urge every loyal citizen to
aid the authorities in their efforts TO return
these men to their respective commands; and
furthermore. we request every loyal woman to
treat the deserters like the peJured criminal he
| is.
9. That we assure our friends at home that we
have no sympathy for traitors either North or
South, and that we do not sanction the course Of
some of Ohos wauld-be-great men, in trying
to rob us Of our citizenship; We are not the ma
terial deserers are made OF, and VIC regard any
proposition OF peace, except on the broad princi-
pie Of Constitutional Liberty, as an insult and
one 'hat, II ever opportunity presents ltself, We
will wipe out and that effectually

cry or courage, coming from those who are enc.
mics to our country; but if we do receive them
from enemies, we prefer 10 have them come from
the South of Mason and Dixons line.
IL. And finally, we declare that we appeal to
the God of Battles. and wish it published at
