700 men in the field, prepared to fight anybody

we have needed or used in former wars. Our
navy is larger, of heavier metal, and in a high
sr state of efficiency than it has over before been
The Nation has, IN addition to it's immense re.
sources already mustered, a reserved strength Of
400 900 men, that if needed it can put into the
field Everything needed to equip and thor
oughly appoint this immense army is manufac
tured at home, and is now produced in almost
marvelously large quantities daily. The coun-
try is on a war footing, and needs but the slim
ulus of an attack from England to teach that
domineering power, that the allies Of human
slavery, whether at home or abroad, have yet
many lessons to learn Of the strength and endur-
ance of the freemen of the United States.
And it is by no means impossible tina, a war
just now with England might serve to clear
away the mists from the eyes of those who,
with a mawkish sentimcntalism, yet discourse
about the sad necessity of fighting our brethren.
