"Friends, Coun'yymen, 4 Ftio,c Ciizens!
After these campaigns, during which
the brave subjects of these States have
con,ended, not unsuccessfully, with one
of the most powerful Kingdoms upon
earth, We now find ourselves at least upon
level with our opponents, and there is
the best reason to believe that efforts, ad-
equa,e to the abilities of this country,
would euabe us speedily to conclude the
war, and TO secure the invaluable bless
ings of Peace, Liberty and Safety. With
this view, it is in contemplation, at the
opening Of the next campaign, to assem-
BILE force sufficient, not barely to cover
the country from q repetition of those dep
relations which it hath already suffered,
but also to operate Extensively, aud strike
some decisive blow"
THE people are then exhorted to raise
and fat all the cattle they can, to bring
them in for sale during the months of
May, June, July-and thus concludes
"Bu,, should there be any SO insensble
to the common interest, as not TO exert
themselves upon these generous principles,
the private interests of those, whose situa.
tion makes them liable to become immedi.
ate subjects to the enemy's incursions,
should prompt them, at least, to measure,
which is calculated to save their property
from pluuder, their families from insult,
and their own persons from abuse, hopeless
confinement, or perhaps a violent death.
