Hopeless of all other relief, the people
of this State have taken up arms to
maintain tho legal authority of the
persons elected by them to the govern

who have heaped upon them immune

great body of the intelligent and
honest people of tho State. They de.
clare their unswerving loyalty and re-

ment and its officers. They war only
against usurpers and plunderers and
the enemies of the people. They affirm
their entire ability to maintain peace
and protect life, liberty and the equal
rights of all Glasses of citizene. The
