to draft a preamble and resolutions expres
sive of.the sense of this meeting.
After retiring a short time the commit
tee made the following report, which was
adopted :
Whereas, The Black republican govern
ment lots inaugurated a war of conquest
against the Conlederate States oi Ameri
ca, and is now marshaling its warriors hy
thousands and tens of thousands, with the
upon and avowed purpose ot invading our
country, crushing out our liberties by re
ducing us into subjection to its wanton
power and •tyranny, laying waste our
fields, our towns, cities, homes and fire
sides for "booty and beauty," marking
ilicir pathways through our country with
fire and smoke, death arid devastation,
and placing our women at the rude mercy
of a corrupt and licentious soldiery—and
whereas, from the extent of our border,
and the neglect of^ur government to suf
ficiently provide for its deience rentier 11s
peculiarly exposed to the dangers of a bru
tal and bloody foray into our own noble
State, hy the cringing sycophants and
heartless hirelings oi' a despotic govern
ment, which ha* discarded all the rules ot
civilized warfare, and scruples not to mur
der our women and children, with circum
stances of barbarity and horror, which must
bring upon it the condemnation of an en
lightened world and the wrath of a just
(Jod, therefore he it
Resolved, That, we the citizens of White
River Township and vicinity, having at
heart the perpetuation of our liberties, the
peace and safety of our homes and fire
sides, and the protection of our women

these untold horrors.
Resolved further, that the citizens of this

selves in readiness to march at any mo
ment to any quarter of our State to repel
invasion.
Resolved further, that the said compa
nies will enlist for one, two or three months
or as long as it may be necessary for re
pellmg invasion; hut, inasmuch as this

companies, we do not think it prudent lor
