Am I mistaken. in this? Jn: addition to the plain language, and palpable purpose of the report, I turn to the 17th section of the de tailed report of the Secretary of War. of the 20th March, 1840. ft provides : t 1 ! V 'Thal the President of the United! States be authorized to call forth and assemble torn pombera of the active force of the i militia, at such plaees within their respective districts, and at such times, oot exceeding twice nor days in the same year, as he may deem neces sary ; and during such period, including the time when going to, and returning froro the place of rendezvous, theu sliall be deemed in the service of the United Stales, and be sultject to spch regidations as the President may think proper to adopt for their instruction, discipline and improvement tn military discipline.'1 M i a iiuw, muow-cnizens, ase up me vpnsuiu tion, reflect upon its provisions the cautibh wiih which, power over the luiliita was' imparted M the Federal Government and I the ; strong restrictions placed upon that power and: ask yourselves what part of the Constitution' justi fies this provision. ij jij j ; This scheme proposes an inequality in the time of service the arming, equipping,; and training the militia which, independent i of ! its unconstitutionality and danger, should stamp it with utter reprobation. Those men are to serve but eight years, the ordinarymiiiiia on an avfrage twenty five. 1 hese men are to have the ad vantages of strict discipline, the ordinary mili tia its present disorganized and chaotic state. These men are to be paid for the time tbev are engaged in performing military duty, (he ordina- : ry militia to be unpaid. These men! are to be kept constantly armed and equipped, the ordina ry militia, I suppose, to have cornstalks and sticks in their hands, to learn 4be use of tbef fire lock. I am sure the great body of the militia will never submit to these gross inequalities. The value of the militia system and the safety ot toe people demand that the whole militia force should be upon an equality uniform in' its discipline, arms, equipments, and service. I This ' elite" militia force, when organiz ed, is to be placed under the command of the President, to be in pay ot the Government of the Uniied States; and subjected to! the temp tationa which honor, emolument, and military pfide will throw in their way tor eighj years. Is tHere no danger in this, fellow -citizens:?; If there i none, what would constitute dingef) for these two hundred thousand men, under the command of the President, and pay of the Fed eral Government, would be just as much a regu lar force as if it had the name, and as liable to be sedueed to the purposes of ambition. jj'j The njore I see of the progress of this Government ahd its tendency to monarchy, the more j 1 ad mire and approve of that jealousy of standing armies which our republican fathers so strongly ma ni Tested at the formation of the Constitution. Any mass of organized men, with arms in their hands, in the pay and subject to the authority of an aspiring ambitious chiefiair, with' the whole revenues of the nation in his banda. will be dan geruus toliberiyand should be looked upon with the greatest apprehension. ? 'f From the most accurate estimate which! I can make, this system would not add less than $4,000,000 to the annual expenditures' cf the Government; which, taking into consideration the present heavy annual burden open the neo- pie, is no inconsiderable objection la this ! wild, dangerous, and unnecessary system storm.

This able advocate of reform has finally with drawn from the head of its columns the name of Governor Troup, and announced its determina tion to do battle for Harrison and Reform, in the great contest which is now agitating the public mind from Maine to Louisiana. Our forces are now all marshalled and fairly in the field, and if we can judge from the cheering .accounts we receive daily from almost every section of, the Stat, we think the war is now being " carried into Africa," with a force that will tell on the first Mortclays in October and November, days which will be ever memorable in the history of Georgia, as the days on which she denounced at the ballot box, an administration, which.for prod igality and downright corruption of every branch of the government.has had no equal in thiscouri- try. .
