will surely give little voluntary aid in pro-

Very certainly the South could lend itself

solute dissolution Of the standing army.
Each soldier in the service costs the people
$1,000 per annum, or $50, 600, 600. The
burden, in PROPORTION to the value of ser
vices, is intOlerable. But this criminal
waste of sweat-drops of honest industry
signifies little. Mr.. Cox tells the country
that hedFoald ''deprivethe tyrantof the tool

without the army Grant would be impotent
for mischief. An accomplished gentle
man and West Point-trained soldier Of this
city anticipated Mr.. Cox in this behalf, and
through these pages has said that West Point
was the school of despotism. If Mr.. Cox
be sustained in relieving the country of a
eonstabulary force called the "Regular
Army" used in oyerthroWiDg States and
popular freedom, West Point should become
simple monument to those heroes and
statesmen whose deeds may render its
name illustrious. It's gateways should be
closed against the sons of American free
men and none but princes OF the royal blood
enter there. West Point training makes
army officers say to the President, as sheri-
dan. has done, that they have no right to
think and only to obey orders. Any thing
they are directed to do they will perform,
no matter what its character or legal con-
sequences. We do not need such collec-
tion Of instruments of oppression. The
people have rights that cannot be dis
regarded-Original, primitive rights, that
take precedence of all that may be
derived from them and these can hard
ly be guarded and perpetuated, while
an eleUe of West Point becomes the country's
master, upheld and guarded by those who
give blind obedience even when tyrant and
usurper exacts it. But it is hardly the pur-
pose of Mr.. Cox to destroy the standing
army or raze West Point to the ground
The proposition is made in order that the
people and the Congress may be forced to

extent popular and local freedom in America
may be endangered by the selfish, obstinate,
