FOR THE WING.

TO the Honorable The Members IF The Legislature.
GENTLEMEN l learned from the newspapers
few days since that you dcvoting some of your
attention TO the better organization Of the present
Militia system.
In my humble opinion, your time and talents can
not be better employed than in consideration of this
important subject; for such 1t must be considered
since almost the entire defence of the country is in
trusted to the Militia force. The present system is
very defective and totally inadequate to the pur
poses for which it was designed For if the
impression made on my mind is not very crrone-
Gus, it was intended by the trainers Of the laws
regulating the militia that the should be trained
IN times OF peace to the exercise Of all those evou-
lions which necessary to be performed times of
war. This end has not been answered Under the
present regulation of the miltl1, as your worshps
"eI kno" the forces Of each county are called to-
gelhcr tour times unnuaily-twice in the spring and
twice ~ The tall, comprising two petty mustcrs one
battalion ana one general parade. On these coca
sioos the men present themselves at their respective
muster grounds ignorant. only Of the science Of
tactics, but even Of the simplest m1nCuyres. In
tins situation, they marched to the field Of parade
