attention which its importance deserves

rulers of the land, because. forsooth. lie

Tending his country with his arms There
seems 70 be the best OF reasons why this
class Of ali others, should votc II taeY
peril their lives in the defence of the coun-

But We did not take orr pen TO offer argl'.
ments in favor Of such a law as will secure
to the citizen soldier this right, rs we pre-
sume no one will question its justice OF
propriety. We know if this Legislator,
does not pass such a law, or make the
necessary provisions for such a consamma.
ton. that the people at home, as well a,
the soldier in the field. will think very
