to the Commanding Officers
of the Revenue Cutters
They will, therefore, refrain, with the most guarded circumspection, from whatever has the semblance of haughtiness, rudeness, or insult.
If obstacles occur, they will remember that they are under the particular protection of the laws that they can meet with nothing disagreeable in the execution of their duty which these will not severely reprehend.
This reflection, and a regard to the good of the service, will prevent, at all times a spirit of irritation or resentment.
They will endeavor to overcome difficulties, if any are experienced, by a cool and temperate perseverance in their duty-by address and moderation, rather than by vehemence or violence."
