ling ctr troops % tic sea-board, and the Bril-
tish troops would soon DC sent 10 harrass our
coast.
Ia this point CT view, the vulgar dogma, that
tue miiitia are in no case bound TO cross the
lines, becomes a real as well as serious error
1t the militia are bound to rcpcl invasion ; if
there is no way SO effectual for repellng inva-
sion, as 20 carry it into the heart of the enc
my's country, they are bound to cross the line
and seek their enemy in Montreal or Quebec..
In TINS eXgcncy, all our constitutional scrup.cs
must be siient--or, rather enlisted in behalf OF
the safety of the country.
Let there be 90 or $4,000 militia sent 70 the
Canada line, drilled from the interior of the
States, where they are least exposed 20 iG2r-
time attacks---not called on, rs Cen. Hall has
lately called 1000 men to defend the Niagara
frontier or as Gen. Gaines has called 1890 for
one month to guard Sacke,t's Harbour. but
called out by the Sec'y OF War, TO march to
the frontier and unite with tie regular forces
in combined and formidable attack upon the
heart of Canada.
At all events, il these militia arc no. 10 be
sent into Canaca, they will be necessary -
defend our posts on that frontier. II the Err
fish troops will outnumber ours if they have
from 20 TO $4,000, and We only from 10 10
10000, we must call upon our militia to sup
ply the deficiency. If we divide our reguiar
force, the enemy will beat rs in detail--if we
concentrate at one point, we shall leave other
points open to the thrusts of the enemy.
AT the same time every means should be
taken to embody our militia, for the defence
OF all our vulnerable and important points on
the sea-board.
Militia should be improved, by putting
those, who are called out, to longer tours OF
duty--and pehaps those who remain at home,
should be compelled to pay a bounty in
squads, to those VINO SO into the field.
The Government should kook out for the
best officers to lead their troops Merit too Of
ten courts the shade-Slin the shade it must
often be Sought.'We must not wait for Offers
but we must invite the best men to serve
their country.
1t is the vulgar cry of faction, that the Co
vernmcnt has denounced the federal party, by
refusing to employ them. 1t has not been so,
nor ought it to be so. lizard, Ninder and
Taylor are all Federalsts--and no men have
commanded larger share of the confidence
of the Government.
Let us but call forth the resources Of the
nation * our arrogant enemy viii soon learn
TO respect those whom they now affect co oe-
spise. vigorous war on our part, is the shoT
test road to peace.
Perdition to the wretch, who will not defend
such a country with all his heart and soul

And they seem to have calculated on
the strength Of their Government to
nut down the first motiens Of oppo-
sition to any Of their measures. In
vain have their enlightened men
stood up. like prophets, and pointed
out to them the fatal consequences.
They have refused to regard them:

1t rar.ly falls to our lot to record
a more melancholy and painful event

PRINCE OF sWARTZENBURG

PRINCE OF SWARTZENBURG.
1t is expected that the Prince Of
swartzenburg will have an opportu-
ni,y to discover his military talents
in the present campaign. 1t was
characteristic of the old Prince who
gave that honor to his family, and
who had the proudest palace in vi
emma, that he saw into all Difficult
ties. and possessed good talent in
disclosing them. hut that he was not
so happy in his resources as in his
discoveries. The present Prince.
though not so we'll known to US in
his first. as in his last military a.
chievmebts, was the Austrian am.
bassador in France. in the French
Register oftst2. In July 1910 his
name became known, from the cele-
bration ofthe marriage ofthe French
Empress. AT which he lost lis sister
10 law, the wife ofthe Prince Joseph,
WHO was then in Paris. The flames
which caught in the curtains, while
the French Emperor and Empress
were present threatened such
scene as our country witnessed in
the Theatre Of Richmond. He is
said in the Register to have been
born in t76O.--The Arch. Duke
Charles was born in 177i, according
to Le-Sage's tables. The Prince
swartzenburg Sondershausen marri.
ed daughter of the Prince Frcde-
rick Swartzenburg Rostadt. and tho
unfortunate Panlina, was the wife of
Prince Joseph Swsrtzenburg.
