This army has its well-defined code of laws and practice, and can adapt itself to the wants and necessities of a city, the country, the rivers, the sea, indeed to all parts of this land.

It better subserves the interest and policy of the General Government, and the people here prefer it to any weak or servile combination that would at once, from force of habit, revive sad perpetuate local prejudices and passions.

The people of this country have forfeited all right to a voice in the councils of the nation.

They know it and feel it, and in after-years they will be the better citizens from the dear bought experience of the present crisis.
