Cockrell nex' ep ka in opposition
to tbe srmy bill. He said ao increaso

count of Ihe Indian troubles, aud
that the strength and perpetuity of
our icetiluth ns depended not
on a standing army, but on tbe re
aped of the people A standing army
was a danger to any republic, aud
was In direct contravention or a reS
publican form of government. To

Whenever (be people of rue states
Wi h tbeir own milit-a, aided by tbe
president of tbe Uuiied Hiaies with

enforce the rights and repress wrongs
lu tue several states, then self govern-
meat would be a failure. If English
soldiers were to appear on the coast
of Maine, in case war, assu.-gssted by
tbe senator from Maine (Frye), the
patriotic citizens of Maine would <m
mediately organize and onuie f<r h as
a militia under their state effloors,
and would dietroy any force that it
