bodies pretending to have pow
ers of government over portions OF the ter
ritories or dominions of powers with whom
the United States are at peace, or by being
or assuming to be members OF such

terprises against such territories or domin-

plOyed as aforesaid ; 3 J6A ,4in'1l

made and provided, and are done in dis
regard of the duties and obligations which
all persons residing or being within the ter
ritory or jurisdiction of the United States
owe thereto, and are condemned by all
right-minded and law-abiding citizens:
Now, therefore, /, Ulysses S. Grant, Presi-
dent of the United States of America, do
hereby declare and proclaim that all per-
sons hereafter found within the territory or

nuences of their guilt and 1 enjoin upon
every officer of this government. civil orr
military or naval, to use all effort IN his
every such offender against the laws pro-
viding for the performance of our sacred
obligations to friendly powers. 4
In testimony whereof, / have hereunt0
yet my hand and caused the seal of the Uni
ed States to be affixed.
