The Officers and Soldiers, whose names have been recorded on the
Lists, in the preceding Muster Rolls, fully justify the
assertion, that if occasion had occurred, for them to exhibit
their devotion to their Country, they would have added to the
reputation of its Arms: The alacrity with which, they repaired
to their stations, and the Military spirit which prevailed at
the time, authorizes the conclusion, that should another warlike
struggle occur, the Volunteer Companies Of This City, will not
be in the Rear, in Discipline, Military Spirit, and Patriotism.
Besides, the Military Gentlemen, who were on duty in the several
Camps, below the City, in 1814, a large body of citizens, (among
them, a great number of Mechanics, of various descriptions)
Volunteered their services, to build Fortifications, on the West
bank of the Schuylkill, in order to give the enemy, should they
approach on the West bank of the Delaware, a sufficiently warm
reception! The alacrity, which characterized the general turn
out, to erect Fort Crispin, near Gray's Ferry, prove, that in
the hour of danger, party spirit was hushed, and that only one
sentiment, actuated the whole community.
Men, who voluntarily came forward, on such occasions, may not be
equal to the forced marches, of a regular Army; but, on their
own soil, when in defense of their homes, their country, and
their firesides, they will be Invincible!
