REDUCTION OF THE ARMY AND NAVY

We have never known any measure of Congress
to excite such universal indignation among all classes
and parties as the proposed reduction by the House of
the Army and Navy. Indignant all are at this
proposition, there Is even yet more contempt and scorn
for the patriness of the motive assigned Ii is pro-
posed under the plea of the necessity of retrench
ment, when not of those ready to degrade the
nation and weaken its defeDces, has manhood enough
to propose reducing his own most extravagant paw
and mileage-an abuse monstrous that the mere
mention of it's existence should be sufficient to abate
the evil We have been requested to suggest the pro-
priety of public meeting without distinction of par
iy for the purpose of expressing in an authentic
the public opinion of this city on the proposed
measure, and asking the interpretation Of the Senate
to reduction injurious and dishonorable to
the nation We comply with this request most cheer
,sly and hoe prompt measures will be taken to hold
INC moe ing at an early date.
