Reso1utiens adopted unanimously 6y the
Brigade composed Of the Second, Sizth
and SeUenth Wisconsin regiments, and
tho Nineteenth Indiana and 1soenty-
fourth Michigan regiments, Volunteers.
WHEREAS, Certain evil minded persons,
about the army and at home, have circu-
lated basely slanderous reports concerning
the Army OF the Potomac, and with pain
and regret we have noticed q resulting
but too universal belief in the demoraliza-
ton of this army: And reports put in
circulation by a set OF Northern traitors to
advance their wicked designs, lay to our
charge the imputation that we are in favor
OF peace on any terms: Therefore, for
the purpose of refuting such ISLANDERS,
alike insulting to our character as soldiers
or citizens, we of the 4th Brigade, LIST Di-
vision, 1st Army Corps, do ResolUe:-
1st That We denounce such reports, aud declare
emphatically that there are no men to be found in
our ranks who would not blush at dishonorable or
ingIeriou peace, and who would not rather sacri-
fee their All tor the maintenance of tho Constitu-
ton and the integrity of the Union, and for the
crushing out of tins rebellion.
I'd. That wsarying the profession OF soldier
may be, and much long for tho society OF
our families and the ende:zments OF home, wo feel
it eur duty to carry thus s.r to the otser END and
whatever the consequences to ourselves may be,
tho Army Of the Potomac will be true to It's flag,
and not desre peace till the last rebel In has
vanished from our soil.
3D. That We warn our friends at home to beware
of traitors in their own midst-wolves in sleeps
clothng-and never to forget that the first duty OF
q good citizen il the maintenance OF his rgheful
Government, with subordination OF all lesser per-
sonal, political, social interests to the great
common cause. The blood of Thousands Of our
friends and comrades, already sacrificed upon the
altar OF our country, should incte all to emulate
cheerfully their glorious example, and calls upon
you to fill the thinnsd ranks of our army which
never will submit inglOrlOuS
4th. That 1t 10 our sincere benef that the safety
of our country lies in rallying around the govern
ment in hearty cooperation of all for vigorous
prosecution of the war, and q stern resolution to
ght until the last rebel in 1ys is sn6dued and the
stars and Stripes are again .fodttu0 OUer eUeTy
inch Of TERRITORY belonging to the United States;
and invite friends at home to join with US
in the motto: High the flag Of country
death to traitors, south, north, east or west."
Ssh. That we fully endorse the spirit OF the last
Congressional militia law, and are in favor of en-
forcing te same throughout all States and parts OF
States under the control OF our government.
The grumblsrs ana fault-fnders at home-the he
roes of quill, the laundering public orators
after having the frutlessness Of the attempt
may have the opportunity to show their metal,
to correct errors, and to their de-
votion to the Union, in sho ulderng the musket and
joining their brethren in arms. Let it be under
stood that in the present struggle neutrality can
be permitted, and that must either fight, pay
ensigrdte.

tration the gov eminent dc Jdct0, ana cneeriully
endorse it, or any subsequent ono, In all acts OF
me sure having for their object vigorous prose-
cution of the and the effectual crushing out OF
