5228. MILITIA, Standing fire.—
The scene of military operations has been hitherto
so distant from these States that their militia
are strangers to the actual presence of
danger. Habit alone will enable them to
view this with familiarity, to face it without
dismay; a habit which must be purchased
by calamity, but cannot be purchased too
dear.—
To the President of Congress.
