METROPOLITAN GUARDs.--This is the title of
new company Of youths in this city, between
the ages Of seventeen and twenty years. The
name of Rossuth Guards was at first selected;
but at meeting on Friday evening, at which
twenty-six members were present, as We learn
from the Republic newspaper, they unanimously
declared their preference for the name of Me-
tropolitan Guards" being desirous, as they say
in their constitution, of encouraging among
young men q military spirit, and of being pre-
pared to defend their homes" committee was
appointed on the subject of uniform and arms.
We would recommend for the former the ap-
propriate street costume usually worn to church
by genteel young men, and for the latter the
pen, which is "mightier than the sword" We
would also recommend that good and comfort
able drill-room be procured, thirty by fifty feet
in size, with ten-feet ceiling, and that they
employ as their instructors in tactics several
gentlemen to teach them history, geography,
and astronomy; chemistry, geology, and natural
history; mental and moral science, grammar,
rhetoric, and belles-lettres; or any other accom-
pishments adapted to render them of the high
est usefulness to the city. We think we can
guaranty to these young gentlemen an accepta-
bic lecturer for each of five evenings week
throughout the winter, and all without expense to
them. We desire the safety of our whole coun-
try, and this is precisely the mode of securing
it. We look to our young men for future pro-
lection, and would have them prepare them
selves Alright for the important work. We offer
our suggestions in kindness and with respect.
May they be so received.
