246 That the Militia laws are susceptible of improvement is not to be denied, but it may be said that there has been more faults in the complaints against them than in the system itself.

  There are now more than forty thousand men belonging to the Militia, divided into five hundred and seventy companies. The arms and stores in the Arsenal amount in value to at least one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, the number of arms having been recently increased by a large supply from the United States.
