Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Militia Law of the State of Rhode Island: Passed at the Special Session of the General Assembly, Held at Providence, August, 1862; With the Laws Relating to Volunteers, Bounties, Exemptions, Provision for Families of Soldiers, Etc;, Etc The General Assembly convened at Providence, on Monday, the twenty-fifth day of August, 1862, in pursuance of the following Proclamation by the Governor, and adjourned on Saturday, the eighth day of September following, to meet again in Providence, according to law, on the second Monday in January, A. D. 1863. Whereas, the large bounties given by the several cities and towns in this State for volunteers, for the purpose of obviating a draft, is producing dissatisfaction among the troops of the State, now in the field; And Whereas, this system of overbidding by each town in its haste to relieve itself from a draft, is a most pernicious one, and creating a large debt which is unequally divided among the people of the State, when the cause for which it is incurred is that of all its citizens, for the preservation of their common country; And Whereas, an undue haste has also been manifested by some of our people to render themselves exempt under the law, from doing military duty. Under these circumstances, and to take such measures as may be thought most proper in the emergency, to comply with the call of the President to furnish our quota of troops, I have defaced it my duty to convene the General Assembly at a time not provided by law. Now, Therefore, I, William Spargue, Governor of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, in virtue of the powers in me vested by the Constitution of said State, do issue this my proclamation, convening the General Assembly of this State, to meet at the State House, in Providence, on Monday, the 25th day of August, at 11 o´clock, A. M. And do hereby call upon the members of both Houses thereof, to assemble themselves in their respective Houses, at the time and place aforesaid. In Testimony Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the Seal of the State, at Providence, this twentieth day of August, A. D., 1862.
