JOHNSTON'S DETROIT CITY DIRECTORY,
Military. [See page 46 of this Directory . ]
Several of the companies reported on the Roster of our city volunteers, disbanded; some have re-organized, and different com- panies have incorporated.
We have been always of opinion that the State Laws should oblige every Township to organize a Military Company, and that every www of suitable capacity to bear arms, should be obliged to muster in his Town- ship, in uniform, and with the weapons of his rank, for purposes of inspection and drill, without distinction, or regard whatever to his occupation or position in the commonwealth, except as a minister of religion, and only ex- cused from review and drill on duly certified causes of inability to attend such inspec- tion and drill, once in each quarter. The ex- ponses of clothing, arms, and equipments should be borne by the Federal Government, and by the State conjointly. Each township should have its barracks for stores in charge of a store keeper, and be the point of con- centration. It is sheer folly on the part of our State Governments to neglect to main- tain an efficiently disciplined and effiectively equipped militia in each and every State. We feel relieved in discharging this serious personal citizen duty on a subject matter in- volving probably the stability, certainly the national military influence of the Republic, whether as regards the domestic strength of State Governments, or the influence of the United States, in international relations with the World.
