WnEREAs. Treason has raised its foul head
in Wisconsin, has penetrated its Legislative
Halls, and is epdeavoring to defle VIII rs

Therefore. As soldiers battling for the UNI
ty of our country-for human liberty ana Iiie
RIGHTS Of ma,-as soldiers possessing all the
ri9hts Of citizenship, and bound to home by
all the ties of patriotism and consan9ulmty;
We feel called upon in this hour OF national
peril and State dishonor to enter our protest
against the suicidal policy Of traitors ana SYN
pathizers with treason at home. Feace parry

fault with the Imprisonment Of Northern traitc
ors but have no blood to shed IN defence OF
the flag that protected their infancy and I'M
becility, nor sympathy to express for soldiers
in the field, are alike entitled to our scorn and
contempt.
To deInoraIizc the masses by crying peace,
when the rebels scoff at the idea o~freconcllla-
tonic withhold supplies, to throw barriers
III the way of enlistments, and to discourage
those who have already offered their lives to
their country, is to paralyze the arm OF tne
President. To paralyze the arm Of the Presi-
dent, is to give victory to rebels III arms, 10
plot destruction for us, TO invoke 1t upon them
selves.
We have sworn to bear true allegiance to
the United States, to serve the Government
honestly and faithfully against all It's enemies
or opposers whatsoever, and to observe and
obey the orders Of the President, and we this

Citizens. freemen? brothers Men of Wis
%consin, Are you going to desert US? Are
you going to prove r~ecreant to your obhga-
lions? Are YOU willing to purchase peace at
the price Of your manhood? For the sake of
a brief period of inglorious ease, to blast the
hopes Of posterity-to strike even one star
from our constellation? Eighteen months
since we left home with your prayers, your
benedictious. are you willing to see us re-
turning with our flags trailing in the dust
You promised us that while battling for hui
manity-a common cause, a common country
YOU would succor our families and sustain us
with your good wishes and your fortunes
We therefore ask that YOU c|ountenance no op-
position to the conduct Of the war that you
sustain for places Of public trust no man who
is not heart and soul with us in this contest
Of right with wrong that you support the
laws, that you stand by the government
against which traitors in arms are arrayed
stand by your country in its hour of peril
nay more, we demand it. In conclusion, lei
us say that we are in for the war-that we
are confident Of the righteousness ofour cause
and Of speedy and final success, and that those
who oppose us, whether by word Or deed, are
traitors to their country, and worthy only o.
a traitors doom.
