and has two posts of strength demolished, but,

adjoining the spot where these stood, and

immediately, he has other two buildings

erected, more capacious and more desirable;

would differ with us. Finally, suppose, in

addition to the ten garrisons, it could be

shown that for several months during the

thirty years, one more had been maintained

there; that for one or two years out of the

thirty, there had been there eleven instead of

ten fortifications; shall we call it a defeat or a

failure of the original undertaking? Or shall

any seeming interruptions, such as have been

stated, destroy the propriety of our calling

these the ten garrisons of the frontier? The

answer is, No, without dispute.
