We have, nevertheless, ample cause IN.
con5ratuiation on the events of the Campaign.
The epe,ny's forces have been aagr,ls.,os.d
from 80 70 10000 men, and ne has bee eng

regular forces have not, on the couttary,
been superior, if equal, in point OF numbers,
to what they were in the campaign of 1873
Vet with all the disparity, he has been pi,a-
Ole TO make any serious impression upon Us .
and whenever he has attempted invasion, Tex
capt in Maine, where he met with very IIs-
tie rcsistance) he has paid dearly for his L.
merity. At Baltimore, at Platts5urg, &c h
has fed before an undiscipimed force, coul,,9-
sed principally of militia, and often inferior
in numbers. But it is on the Niagara in par
uculiar, that the enemy has been sh5rTl Of hH
military laurcls-laureis which had cost hiz-l
millions OF treasure and thou sands of lives -
