Excerpt from Public Documents of the Legislature of Connecticut: May Session, 1861The manner of drafting for service from each force should be clearly defined.The plan above suggested, or any other which your honora ble body may adopt, to place the entire miltary force of the state upon a war' footing, will receive my cordial cooperation. To secure this object, I recommend an appropriation from the public Treasury, sufficient to meet the pressing demands of the occasion. I regard it as essential that we concentrate our energies and have them at command, in order to hold in check those who passionately trample upon our constitutional rights, and to overpower those in rebellion against our government.I am of opinion that an efficient military force can soon be raised by continuing to organize volunteer' regiments, having them rendezvous at once, go into camp, and enter upon a system of drill and discipline. If such a course be deemed proper, the troops should be under pay from the State and whether they are retained within its borders, or enter the service of the general Government, I would recommend an increase of wages above what-is-now allowed government troops.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
