Excerpt from Military Control The following argument was prepared years ago, while the author was a member of the staff. It was the result of his own unbiassed reflections on our military system, which he saw to be working badly, many features of the army organization have since been altered, and many changes of the laws and regulations, have also occurred, but nothing has been done to reach what he conceives to be the radical defect of the system - indeed it has been growing continually worse, as would naturally be supposed, under a process of temporary expedients. To discover the root of the defect, by looking beyond the laws to the Constitution, and beyond prevailing notions to the true nature of the army institution, was the motive that prompted the author's researches, and to develop that defect and propose the remedy, is his design in the publication of these remarks. It may be that, ere long, Congress getting tired of experiments in military legislation, may look attentively with its own eyes into the nature of the army institution, and seek to ascertain its true adjustment, under the Constitution, then these views may suggest a thorough reformation both in the organization of the army, and in the rules and regulations for its better government.
