MEssRs. EDITORS The Legislature has appropriated
100000 for the purpose OF armng the State We all
feel and know this amount is far short of what neces
sary. What ! would suggest is, that this county make
an appropriation for purchasing and munitions Of
war for its ctiz9ns
We cannot expect very large amount of the $780,,
600. Let us have some arms OF our own The county
can we'll afford to buy $4,000 worth of arms and am
muniton, and build arsenal for its safe keeping
The guns balls and shell, can be cast here in own
toYn. We exposed aud have no means Of defending
our harbor no artillery, no ammunition
This thing calls for the serious consideration of the
Magstra in town and county, for the people of the
country are as much interested any In present
condition, small armed vessel could give serious
noyance But have arsenal full of powder and black
pills. and few good 80 and 24pounders ready to give
salute of uUelcome, would feel more independent
would glad to hear the views of Others and suggest
this matter for the earnest consideration OF all. J.
