' -4t ...;i, rs Semark of John Gatling, Esq , ripresentative from 0 a t e a, tkt lin, vh the Sfxruit Militia Htll. Ma. SriAkcii : When I touch upon the constitutionality ol bills introduced by gen tlemen ot the opposite party, I am quite well awsre, that, uoder their diagnosis, I am evincing symptoms ot a disease, upon which a prominent member of that party ha fixed the name ol "Constitution upon tb brain." I know lull well, too, sir. that when oor objections to their legislation as- rnw Aas.' nesvWalslie, ttier wi' nos ai an nmes reauy iu "speaA." lu VUtai, bnt freu stsurw those (renflemen that tbeee objections are like Banpio's ghost, they will line, and the murderer's Iruwn nor his tear can put them down. I do say, sir, and will maintain, that the bill, the vote upon which we now ask a re consideration, violates both the letter aod the spirit of the Constitution of the I ruled State, as well as ot the Htatc of Nor th Carolina. Par. Sd, Hoc. X. Art. I of the fcirmer instrument expressly prohibits the States from "keeping troops." Now, Sir, the rose, nnder any other name, will smell as sweet' and the facility with which tiis bill ha undergone the change from a "Police" bill to a "Special Militia" bill, goes (at towards warranting me in the assertion, that it can wear, with equal grace, the name I now give it, "A bill lo authorize the Gov eroor of North Carolina to keep troops." The gentleman lrora Orange very conclu sively proved that the name, "Police," when applied to the bill, was a misnomer. Now, sir, I propose to strip it of another alwi. According to Judge Story, "the Militia are aubjeet to no military duty-whatever, except in cases of ierertio)i, wur, invtuion, or to prnmt tntauiioa." This bill add lo this list, the preservation of peace, the enforcement ol the law, the prevention of violence, aud the arrest of parties in certain cases. Now, Mr. Speaker, this so far trsnscemtn ttte prov ince of the Militia, as heretofore understood, that I hardly think the same name can ap ply to organizations Invested with powers so widely differing. Again, Bir, Par. 13, Bee. VIII, Art. 1, Con. Ol the U. 8., lodges in CSsnpnstf th duty ol providing for "or ganizing, arming and equipping," reserving to the States only, the appointment of ifli cera and the disciplining ol the Militia. In th exercise of that power, the act of 1799 was pasaed by Congress, and though thia act ha been Irom time to time changed sod modified, yet its fundamental princi ple are it ill to force. L'ndur it, the Militia are - required to " famish themselves vritb' niuakau, Imll-ajieidges, e., at their own expense. The troops to be levied by this bill are to be armed at the expense of the State. Heretofore, regular I roups only have been so armed. Heretofore, Militia men hav been enrolled from the body of the able men, between certain ages. Under this bill they sre appointed. This is usually the way in which picked troops, lor forlorn hopes and desperate enterprises, hav been provided.

I have consulted with many men Irom many parts ol the Hiate They know nothing ol it. I do not. Nor do I ever hear of it ex cept through James (iordon Bennett, and Editor of that ilk, aod from some lew Radicals on this floor. Is it a creation oi their owu idle tears f a Bjjitient of their own disturbed brains f or, Sir, is it an invention, originated in order to misrepresent and at tach odium to us !

Nay more, Bir, the very presence of the badge, proposed by this bill, at oor public gatherings, together with the associations which surround them, would lie infinitely more calculated ty dis turb than to keep the peace. I regret to be competled "to adoiitrfhaV uhforiunataly,. there is soma Ul feeling, some, rancor, be tween the two races no man can deny it and I appeal to both, is this bill calculated to allay that bitterness t Will It not rather provoke and exaggerate it t Is It wise to urtu 'ai:'. aLet tit st knowledge a feat, Ws art here, black and white, living together in the Confines of the State, following the same pirwrtte-rnlttvsttihg the same still-bound together by a thousand ties ot interest and sshty. the snare sun itiine rfpon ns, and the same rain tails on and blesses our uuderti . kings.
