		Porter soon found that the number of men coming forward of their own volition was inadequate and that unless he took some action the volunteer concept would fail.
		Porter had no trouble in attracting prospective officers, for not only did a commission in the volunteers convey social status, this means of obtaining a commission made it open to those who had not been able to obtain one through the state’s normal appointments procedure.
		Porter was especially conscious of this failure, for before the war he had been an advocate of an invasion launched from northern New York, directed principally at the capture of Montreal.
