Excerpt from Our Times and Our Duty: An Oration Delivered by Request of the Gettysburg Zouaves, Before the Citizens Civil and Military of Getttysburg and Vicinity, in Spangler's Grove, July 4th, 1861

Rev. J. R. Warner:

Dear Sir, - We have heard with profound regret that a few persons in our midst, whose sympathies are undoubtedly with the Southern traitors and rebels, denounce your Oration delivered at the request of "The Gettysburg Zouaves" on the 4th inst., as partisan in its tone and sentiment, and "inappropriate, " In order to afford the loyal citizens of our town and country an opportunity of reading your Address, and of judging for themselves, that the charges brought against it are unwarranted, and only such as traitors to the Constitution and laws of our Country would make, we respectfully request a copy for publication.
