"I do not affect military knowledge, nor it is my daty or my wish to enter bore upon any controverted object, but there are some obser vations which may man of plain and ordry tose cunnet help making if bo is in a position which induis and almost compels him to watch tio progress of public events. One is, that in country like this, a country of popular go- verament, we must expect and prepare for rud- don Rottica of public feeling, noh as are trying to the administrative mind. It is not ten wonthe cinco I let addressed you in this tall, and then it seemed really desirable to argue that we were not in danger of immodi ste invasion by balf a million of men, and that the German system-I might now call it the watinental systems, for Austria, Russia, and France are all adopting it-the system of nai- versal and compulsory military service, was not one which would suit the habits and wante of this country.
