iMr. Schleieh in responding In substance
said: Mr. President-The events of the past
five years have brought cOnspicuously be-
fore the eyes Of the world, that strong
right arm of the Government-the army
and nagyof the United States-and, have
elevated both, and especially the army, in
TO "a prominence occupied by no similar or
gaRization Of any nation of the earth.
Norris the army of the United States or
Qanized upon the same principles or COM
ilpsed Of the same materials that character
ixelthe armies of other nations. Thatwon-
deffunbody Of men, the fathers OF our sys-
tsmsOf acknowledgement for their
wisdom in every department of political
ecience--left no more remarkable cxhibi-
tiOniof their wisdom than that provision of
the ConstitutiOn they gave us, which COM
Vuits the honor and glory of the Union
which theV framed--not to standing armies
Organized independent of and hostile to
the people, but to the citizen soldiery-the
milftia0f the land. 3s.iE fl H'
tAnd the experience of four wars has vim
dicated their sagaeity and confirmed their
wisd0m.d Where in all history can a SINH
lar example, be found Of whole nation
farming at once from the peaceful pursuits |
of Iite--and iowithOut previous training |
almost without officers familiar with the
seienee of war except in theOry--and GER
tainly with no single officer VINO had ever
commanded over ten thousand men upon
ariyl battle field4-and aequitting themselves
even when Unanswered in bodies almost
unprecedented in military experiences, with |
thelprecisiOn, skill and courage of veterans
of one hundred campaigns? Where in the |
annals Of great armies, is it recorded ofany
except of the army of the American Union,
that more than million of men--hardy |
ysterans--victorious at the end CT a war OF |
four years duration, more fruitful of battle
fields renowned for sanguinarY conflict and
bloody slaughter than any war recorded In
history-~who quietly and cheerfullvl laid
down their arms and lost their identity as |
an, army among the great body Of the
mt. President. the greatest victory of the
Army Of the Union, so lately the proudest,
bravest, best equipped, best commanded aud |
most emlnently victorious army the world |
ever saw. was the victory over itself. Called |
into the field as body of citizens, to defend
the Union, it never forgot the fact, thateach
man In It's ranks, although a soldier, had
vet 4 character more i'm portant than thato /
soldief1-a character dearer 10 him, because
the hapBihess, and even the liberties OF hfsd
eHfldren, depended upon his maintaining
it and preserving his distinct identity as a
CITIZEN OF the United States. s'OH
No. President, believe that every good
citizen regrets the necessity which called
his great body Of American citizens to
aflis, aud fervently prays that never again
I'M tie uatlon's lie shall citizens be arrayed
AGAINST aeiClzen lnsanguinary conflict, yet
wIiiIs . Ne deplcre the sad spectacle Of ma
