Men without clothes soldiers with
out arms, muskels without tlints, not
wiihstanding the sciCnifck researches
OF doctor Mitchell treasury without
money, are the arguments used by
Msdlson's supporters for entering into
war. This Is not exaggcration it h.
strictly and literally true. These de-
ticIencies they were reminded of by
those wicked tories the ftderaIis.s, IT'D

ism was doubted if we yentured only to
state as hypothesis, that a soldier could
not exist without clothing, fight vith-

or without money 10 buy any. Il was
thought that wh4t our political oppo-
nents were pleased 10 dgnominatr pat
riotlsm, was q substitute for all these
that il would feed The soldier when he
was hungry, Cl0the him when h4 was
naked, and enable him to fight without
arms.
We were unable to answer such nom
sense, and tiOm the broad a5surdily OF
such opiaions, naturally concluded that
the collected wisdom Of thv nation, as
embed at Washington, was disposed
to deal IN such absurdity by way OF quiz
and banter. What led 10 entire con,ic-
ZION on this head, was the appointment
of Dearbought to the command OF the
Canada expedition. Well, in defiance
OF dlcency and common sense this war
WAS undertaken. The result has been
