They gave us our birth-right twice, which England threatened to withhold or destroy, they enlarged our heritage by whipping naughty Mexico, and then holding her fast while our people bargained . / for her land. Hence we own to-day the fruits and flowers of California. So, Mr. Chairman, do not forget the Army. We do not want tumble-down forts, old wooden shanties for bar- racks, obsolete ordnance, old guns, always faced to the rear, gun-carriages that would fall to pieces on the first discharge.... Oh no, foreign officers are very polite, but they can not help laughing at our poverty-stricken condition. Just think what a relief might come through that surplus, and the additions sure to come to it, to the little Army, which with the Navy, has always been and must forever be the nucleus of our de- fense. Veterans, see in no distant epoch the borders of the lauds which you conquered peopled with modest garrisons, well housed! Why not? Why should custom houses, mints, post- offices and sub-treasury buildings be constructed of the hand- somest quarried rock?
