GENERAL HAWIEY put the army question
in it right light at the Grand Army reunion
in Albany when he said:
TO discourse upon the dangers to liberty of
any such regular army rs we have ever main
tanned or are likely to maintain in time of
peace is an injustice to the American soldier
and lamentable misjudgment of the Ameri-
can citizen. That $4,000 or $4,000 or 100000
regular troops under the lead of an ambitious
general, could overthrow the American gov
ernment, is not within the limits of possibility:
and if we may judge Of the future by the past,
there IS even less likelihood that any great
American soldier viii ever undertake it. If
ne shall try it we will send a constable after
him. Beneath the millions of citizens capable
OF bearing arms in such an emergency; he
would go down like a reed. Our standing army
dependent from year to year upon the apprO-
priations of Congress, ofiicered by men who
have slowly won their way to the head, pro
NOTED by the Judgment of the chief executive,
under the eye of the watchful people, and
scattered from the Atlantic to the Pacific from
the lakes to the gulf, is in no respect likely to
be subordinated to reasonable purposes [
speak of the officers. Observe, as to the pri-
Yates, that there is no recorded instance cf so
much as eompany's siding with the rebellion
at its Oueset. And from its organization to this
day the tone Of the army has been that betit-
ting soldiers aud 9enuerier. know nothing
ulef, as an example of personal friendship or
exalted patriotism than some of the cnrrespon-
dence between Sherman and Grant, or of the
devoted friendships of a majority of the noble
band OF chiefs. No, we need fear no attack
upon our liberties from any army that America
viii ever organize L am not to-day elevating
the soldiers calling above any other, but only
vindicating it against certain false preiudices
and trashy. but in some regard dangerous talk,
that would degrade him in his own estimation,

that element of force which all moral law

ernment. This is a government of the people,
and for the people. But that government so
