In the pruning of cur Establishments, it is certain,
that the country views with much more pain the re-
daction of the Navy than that of the Army. This
feeling claims attention. The merit of the two ser-
vices is personally equal; they are brave men alike
in both; but not so their possible operation upon the
subjects of a free Stat. An Army may oppress our
liberties at home ; a Navy never can be used bat in
the protection of them against foreigners. We can
maintain no array so-numerous but that a powerful
Navy must still be necessary for the defence of our
insular situation. A cornmanding Navy takes away
the necessity of an expensive Army: It is in our
Navy, therefore, only, that we can repose unalloyed
confidence. Besides, It deserves attention, that Ame-
rica, since the peace, has been increasing her navy ;
we have inflicted a severe reduction upon outs. The,
state of the American navy can onlyl.ave referegck
' !te us. Oar land arms,' can only relate to the Conti..,
mut, where weshave no busiaea. •
