This maxim has the authority of
great names. It may be true to a
particular < \t. r:t. If these prepai
ations ate of huh a nature as t.

car launch i.-co refills of war a
gainfi us. who can feriouflv urge
this tn: xim as a jollification ot the
n t jfim ? It is i:t vain for us to
CO’ tend upon the ocean with a nu

than 300.000,000 of dollars; a
sum fix times greater than the whole 1
