Excerpt from Some Observations on the Militia System: Addressed to the Serious Consideration of the Citizens of Pennsylvania
Notwithstanding the desolating wars in which the nations of Christendom, no less than those who deny that name, are almost perpetually engaged, either in act or preparation, and the applause which attends upon military achievements, few or none can be found who will presume to deny the excellency of peace. Nations, however warlike in practice, never fail to profess, even in the midst of their most sanguinary conflicts, that the attainment of a just and permanent peace is the ultimate object of all their efforts. When rulers are appropriating, by millions, the wealth of the people to the formation of navies, the erection of forts, and the support of armies, the reasons for all this expense still centre in the attainment or preservation of peace. Even rough and desolating war is professedly the pioneer of peace. This ostensibly is the great object and aim of all.
It would, therefore, appear that the difference between the warrior and the man of peace, is not in relation to the end, but the means; not in the object to be attained, but the mode of attaining it. The former proposes to disarm oppression or keep it at bay, by the force or terror of arms; the latter by the observance of justice and the subjugation of the passions from which wars and fightings spring. And perhaps a rigid scrutiny of the case would evince, that the essential difference is, that the one relies for the maintenance of his rights and the preservation of peace on the arm of flesh and the policy of man; but the other on the protection of an omnipresent and overruling Providence.
Among the professors of the Christian name, there are probably few, if any, who will hesitate to admit that the time will come when nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor the people learn war any move.
