'A' measure o unexampled requires: we should state to youn-cxcllericy the reasons' which iqduce us absoluttlyaad posi. lively to refuse obedience To the order-contained in vour pxcellency's Proclamation, -witydue deferenre your Excellency's opinion we ;blv conceive, that -when" we are onlered into the service hfthf?

We further conceive that while tve are in aciual service, and durine the period foj which we were ordered inU service, your HxcelUn- c a porcrbver us, as Governor of the sute of Vermont is eurpended. If it is tiiie as your Excellency sute, that M we re out of ihe Juris diction or cdptrctil of the Executive orVcrmontr we ivould ask from wHcnce your Excellency-derives the right or preAmes .to exercise the power of brdeno-us to return from the service in Wji we are engaged ? If we were leAllv ordered into the service of the lljnitcd States, your Excellency rnujibe sensible that you have no authority to order us but of that service.
