And let me conjure you, in the name of our common Country--as you value your own sacred honor-as you respect the rights of humanity, & as you regard the Military & national character of America, to express your utmost horror & detestation of the Man who wishes, under any specious pretences, to overturn the liberties of our Country, & who wickedly attempts to open the flood Gates of Civil discord, & deluge our rising Empire in Blood.

No civilized society can thrive upon victims, whose humanity has been permanently mutilated.

If seeds of good humanity and good culture are sown, the reward of a rich harvest can be reaped by generation to come. Education means such sowing, such implementing.

Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.

Peace can endure only so long as humanity really insists upon it, and is willing to work for it-and sacrifice for it.

The American people will not be deceived by anyone who attempts to suppress individual liberty under the pretense of patriotism.
