There must be a Government to maintain its
auth ority, and rally loyal men around It. or
ne must pass into the final period of ANARCHY,
And is anarchy the final period7 Has the ex-
perienee OF thousands OF years been had in
yam Whether It be one country or another,
it IL certain that the military power reduces
anarchy to order: Then We shall have order
Then We shall have peace. Then we shall
have un1on.- But ehau WIS not have to employ
the military power? Undoubtedly; but now
we can make it the instrument OF the people

As yet, the military power In this country is
subordinate, obedient and patriotic: but If
state Of anarchy compe1s uB to raise armies in
masses, trained to separate and permanent
profession, they will become what they are in
Europe, and this country will be maintained
