90 Truth wM out !"--The following para
graph is from the Norfolk herald, democra-
tic paper.
1t is with pain we declare that the town of
Norfolk is as unprepared for defence as it
possibly could be in times Of profound peace.
Ii is needless for us TO misrepresent our real
situation, or to make parade upon paper OF
defensive means which we do not possess
The solicitude which we feel for the lives ard
propeltKsof our citizens iorbids our practising
SO gross deception We admit that a hane.-
tul ofmtanfry troops have been sent hther TO
garrison Fort Norfolk, and that the militia of
the Borough have recently volunteered to be
more frequently trained but this is merely
a =" drop IN the ocean" If the or 1000
troops that were flrsmiS d 10 be sent for the
protection OF this town do not arrive in a few
days, we are of opinion that they h4d Just as
well not come al all they will guard the
stable after the horse has been stolen.
