THE MILITIA HUMBUG. 1I this Ilav of peace anti Rood will, when on this oeswitent swords may safely be tunnel Into plowshares, ie it not time to eek our.elvee why we should continue to keep op • militia establishment for the .ole psrpose of enabling a few romantic creat urea N play the officers, which in our judgment is little more than an ordinary 'Onus oc- cupietios se tar as public use or benefit is concerned. In eo.sidering this militia question we will be met with some objection' to the abolition or reduction of the service. F'i'st, that we cannot afford to leave this 'Fair Dominion" defenceless against the forgive foe. and, secondly, that we cannot safely leave the preservatioc of the public peace to the civil power.
