Source: State of New York. No. 184. In Assembly, April 7, 1859. Annual Report of the Adjutant General. (E.D. Morgan, Commander-in-Chief of the military forces of the State of N.Y.)
"In every State there are large numbers of citizens who, from pure military zeal alone, are wiling to abstract from their vocations time enough to devote to the acquirement of military information, and from a thousand motives other than a desire to don the insignia of command, or to swell the ranks of a quasi military and a quasi social body, are ready to assume the real duties of the soldier, with the patriotic view of being ready to suppress the disorders of a time of peace, and to maintain the public liberties in a time of war.
Experience has shown that, in our State, at least, there are large numbers of such men, who, in obedience to this spirit, will organize into military bodies, whether pursuant to, or independent of law; and the State has wisely recognized the existence of this spirit.
By the act of 1846, it swept from its statute books laws which sought to foster what had been proved an impossible militia, and addressed itself to the development of a militia, based upon the predilection of the individual. By this act it inaugurated a system which, if properly sustained by the State, will accomplish the great purposes of a citizen military.
Already in lieu of divisions upon divisions, brigades upon brigades, and regiments upon regiments of tatterdemalion militia, we have condensed a mobile body of uniformed troops, comprising eight divisions, twenty-six brigades and sixty-two regiments, armed, equipped, and passibly well disciplined for service."
- Frederick Townsend, Adjutant General.
