Whereas it is provided in the laws of the United

be judged necessary for the purpose of suppressng
such instruction, and causing the laws to be duly

part of the military force of the United States as
may be necessary and adequate to protect said state
and citizens thereof against the domestic violence
hereinbefore mentioned, ana enforce the due exc

Whereas, the laws of the United States require
that whenever it may be necessary, in the Judgment
of the president, to use military force for the pur-
pose aforesaid, he shall forthwith, by proclama-
ton, command such insurgents to dispense and re-
tire peaceably to their respective abodes within the
limited timel

and caused the seal of the United States TO be af
