Some of the officers of the Stat,
Guard are of the opinion that the appro.

is made according to the number Of rep
pesentatives each State has in Congress-
rather than according to the strength Of
the National Guard. New Jersey, under

same sum as North Carolina and several
other States, Notwithstanding that the
