glory to the more tranquil walks of civil life.

"While the general recollects the almost infinite variety of scenes through which we have passed, with a mixture of pleasure, astonishment and gratitude, while he contemplates the prospects before us with rapture, he cannot help wishing that all the brave men (of whatever condition they may be) who have shared in the toils and dangers of effecting this glorious revolution, of rescuing millions from the hand of oppression, and of laying the foundation of a great empire, might be impressed with a proper idea of the dignified part they have been called to act (under the smiles of providence) on the stage of human affairs, for happy, thrice happy shall they be pronounced hereafter, who have contributed anything, who have performed the meanest office in erecting this stupendous fabric of freedom and empire on the broad basis of independency, who have assisted in protecting the rights of human nature and establishing an asylum for the poor and oppressed of all nations and religions.

"The glorious task for which we first flew to arms being thus accomplished -- the liberties of our country being fully acknowledged and firmly secured by the smiles of heaven on the purity of our cause, and the honest exertions of a feeble people (determined be free) against a powerful nation ( disposed to oppress them) and the character of those who have persevered through every extremity of hardship, suffering and danger being immortalized by the illustrious appellation of the patriot army -- nothing now remains but for the actors of this mighty scene, to preserve a perfect, unvarying consistency of character through the very last act, to close the drama with applause, and to retire from the military theatre with the same approbation of angels and men which has crowned all their former virtuous actions.

"For this purpose no disorder or licentiousness must be tolerated -- every considerate and well-disposed soldier must remember, it will be absolutely necessary to wait with patience until peace shall be declared -- or congress shall be enabled to take proper measures for the security of the public stores, etc.
