s,ssass e. out Nstiosh stsstaeas, frssaoa and
prosperity Cow You are appehsd 70 in caaae of
ordinary Importance but one which must enlist
at once the deepest syppFthlssof ali who love NIB
srty and their cosptFy.
x fittls more thka three years ago the Prosident
Grst safiod upon The people 70 furnish men to en-
force the laws Of the Hnitsd States amongst those
who bad siolztod them by rebellion. Since that
time, humorous calls have been u sdc, much great
than the Grstj yet each and all have ncen nehly
INST people who desire to cherish fec ihstitu-
lions, and who are willing to sacrifice all that re-.
mains, rather than abandon the Consultation snd
the Gevernnent established and reared FOR them by
the vRor, wisdom and pasriotisrl Of their noble
forefathers. rsa
From every battle field where Union arms have
triumphed; from evory couch where tho Haunded
and dying now lie in pain and anguish from every
hearthstone in our broad land where mother sister
widow and orphan weeps the loss Of loved ones,
comes the appeal 10 you and to us for sympathy
and aid Let Us not think that the Government
cum meet all the wants and suferings of so large
army. It has done mach in the past. and is still
noby doing III in its pswer to alleviate tho suffer
ings of our brave soldiers but there yet remains
much to be dono to add to their comfort and II be-
comes US to do this at least, for those who have
left home and friends to encounter the dangers Of
the battle field, 10 order that the imperied liberty
Of cur country may be saved, and the honor and
unity of our great and good Government main
tanned
You, as class, have lot suffered moro than other
great branches Of business True, much of the
army ia made up Of those who were formerly en-
poyed by you as laborers; but atill no material
disadvantage has resulted to you. The demand
Cor articles that you produce has been so great us
to raise their price to that point where ample re-
| munefation for skill and labor has been received.
Then, again, you have been amply protected in
your property, and in the pleasuref Of your home
and family, as well as in the peaceful avocatien to
which you belong. For all tais you should feel
grateful and should 30 willing 10 give literally II
your abundance After doing all, and giving all
we can, we shall still owe debt to our country's
defenders that nothing but the gratitude of unborn
generations can repay.
The leading interest Of our State is Agriculture,
and it is expected that the aggregate Of the dona-
tons received from this class shall be large such,
indeed, as to make q sufficient to reflect honor
the interest which you represent. so that when
the faithful historian shall come to make up the
record of this noble enterprise, Delaware Farmers
may feel proud Of the liberality Of which il may be
his pleasure to speak.
The agents of this humane commission have al
| ready been at work. They have sought the field
of battle while the smoke of the dreadful fray was
yet surging In thick clouds above it, to minister to
the wounded and dying. II is to make this
ganization more effective that your aid is asked SO
that as much Of the suffering of our soldiers may be
prevented as is possible
All contributions of money may be made to the
President or any member of the Committee.
| Articles Of produce, or.agrieultural implements
may be forwarded, free of charge, over the Dola-
ware Railroad and should be carefully addressed to
