thus that manual labor is degrading in. the

Our militia is one of the finest upon the
North American - Continent Whereas, the
American militia,' as far as discipline and or - -
ganization is concerned, chiefly :exists upon
paper. Throughout the
. 13iitish. ,P,royinces
arelarge'numbers - of military rien4onerg; in
valuable as a point d'appui for regimental or
ganization. There are also livridredsOf•reti 7
red British' officers from the regular' 'army,
Whose,professional experience is above - price.
Every regiment of Canadian • •militia would
contain Cully twenty per cent; of' old disci;
plined officers. And, -mark, discipline will
decide: a frontiers war. Independently -Of
these ,resources, numerically, England has
during the.last - few years riot been behind
hand in organizing her. militia. Prior to the
proposed.withdrawal of a large portion' of our
regular regiments, a plan was drawn up - by
an officer of experienee•in the' Provinces,
Colonel Sleigh, and approved of by the Gov;
ernment, and by it transmitted• to the Gover
nors of the British North American Provin
ces, for the reorganization of the provincial
army. This plan embraced the - fOrmation of
garrison corps'and`-lerrcible battalions; and
has been acted Upon in Cdnada, and, in fact - ,
forms the groundwork of the present, organi
zation Of the Canadian Militia: The chief
towns in the Canadai 'no w possess These cerps,
and,in efficiency, -and discipline, they, are
second to none on the American continent.
We have shown that we possess, an -effi
cient, well-olliOered militia of 400;000 - then. =
We can send to Canada front - the United
Kingdom, within six weeks, 60,000 bayonets
,--our embodied militia,, equal. to , regulars,
could furnish alone' that quota--and • 6000
from the. West - India Command, -Our artil
lery is one of:: the ..finest in:the -world •;• and
thus, with 456,000 men, militia and regulars,
we can defy any attack from the -, American
lines. The prospect.of a European peace is
so great, that we can also 'almost count' upon
$O,OOO men fromrthe. - Crimea in - addition to
the above. In , a campaign of invasion, the
enemy must bringtheir commissariat of sup
ply with them. We are •On the defensive-in
our own country, with:ample supplies. -We
have . railways extending: from Quebec •fo
Western Canada, and in twenty four hotirs we
could Move a .large army to any given 'point.
The Americans couldnot take usby'a• cottp de .
main. Our telegraph , wires place every point
of the Provinces in immediate contact. In
Canada,an-American army would' be thrash
ed to -its heart's content. It Could:not live
