children, and in defence of the rights of this nation and of all men, no matter who they may he, and God heing our helper to maintain those principles and to lift up a standard for the honorahie of this and other nations to
flock to, that they may he free from the tyranny and oppression that is sought to he crowded upon them. This is the duty we have to perform, and in the name of Israel's God we will do it.
