said:-- Col. McQuade and the Officers and Men of the Fourteenth Regiment: In the name and on behalf of the Sons of Oneida, residents of New York and Brooklyn, I most cordially welcome you to this city on your way to the defence of that blessedt Revolution; and as long as the battle of Oriskany and the siege of Fort Stanwix are remembered, so long will the men of Oneida remember the brave deeds of their fathers, and be eager to imitate their example.
