SrEYN'S PROCLAMATION.
Calls on Free State Bur9hers to Resist In.
vasion OF the British.

New York, Nov. 6.-The consul gen.
eral of the Orange Free State in this
city gave out, today, the full text of
President Steyn's proclamation calling
on the Orange Free State Beers to sup
port the Transvaal The proclamation
reads in part as follows:
'Burghers of the Orange Free State:
The time which we had so much
desired to avoid, the moment when
We, as nation, are compelled with
arms to oppose injustice and shameless
violence is at hand. Our sister repub-
lie to the north of the Vaal river is
about to be attacked by an unscrupu-
lous enemy. who for many years has
prepared himself and sought pretexts
for the violence of which he is now
guilty; whose purpose it is to destroy
the existence of the Afrikander race
with our sister republic we are not
only bound by ties of blood, of sympa-
thy and of common interests. but also
by formal treaty which has been ne
cessitated by circumstances. This
treaty demands of us that we assist
her if she should be unjustly attacked
which we unfortunately for long
time have had too much reason to ex
pect. We therefore cannot passivelv
look on while injustice is done her and
while also our dearly bought freedom
is endangered, but are called as men
to resist, trusting the Almighty, firm
ly believing that He will never permit
injustice and unrighteousness ia
triumph.
Our own unfortunate experiences
in the past have made it sufficiently
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1899-11-07

clear to us, that we cannot rely on tho
most solemn promises and agreement
OF Great Britain when she has at hel
helm a government prepared to tram.
pie on treaties, to look for fcignet
pretexts for every violation Of good
faith by her committed. This Is prov.
ed among other things by the unjust
| and unlawful British Intervention At.
ter we had overcome an armed and
barbarous black tribe on our eastern
frontier, and also by the forcible ap.
preparation of the dominion over part
of our territory, where the discovery
of diamonds had caused the desire fol
to existing treaties.
1.-The desire and intention to trample
on our rights as an independent and
sovereign nation, notwithstanding a
solemn convention existing between this
state and Great Britain, have also
| been more than one and are now
again shown by the present govern
ment by giving expression in public
documents to an unfounded claim of
paramountcy over the whole of
South Africa and therefore also over
this state.
For years past British troops in
great numbers have been placed on the
frontiers of our sister republic in or
der to compel her. by fear, to accede
to the demands which would be press
ed upon her and in order to encourage
revolutionary disturbances and the
cunning plans of those whose greed for
gold is the cause of their shameless
undertakings.
'"These plans have now reached their
climax in the open violence to which
the present British government now
resorts. While we readily acknowledge
the honorable character of thousands
of Englishmen who loathe such deeds
of robbery and wrong, we cannot but
abhor the shameless breakings of
treaties, the feigned preteXt for the
transgression of law. the violation OF
international law and of justice and the
numerous right rending deeds of the
British statesmen who will now force
a war upon the South African republic
on their heads be the guilt of blood
and may a just Providence reward all
as they deserve.
"Burghers of the Orange Free State
rise as one man against the oppressor
and the violator of right. In the strife
10 which we are now driven have care
to commit no deed unworthy of Il
Christian and of burgher of the
Orange Free State. Let US look for
ward with confidence to a fortunate
end of this conflict. trusting to that
Higher Power without whose help HUI
man weapons are of no avail. May
He bless our arms. Under His banner
we advance to battle for liberty and
for fatherland.
(SignedD NJ. T. STEYN,
State President"
