The more we reflect upon the paltry pretexts
and excuses upon which our Northern and
Southern demagogues in Congress have opposed
the Presidents recommendations for an in
crease of the army, the more we are convinced
of the demoralizing purposes and projects by
which these reckless sectional demagogues are
