CONGRESSIONAL:
.remarks; of mr. BURT0N OF
NORTHCAROLINA,
As delivered inl committee, oh the bill for
the reduction of the army, and fixing,
the peace establishment at 6,000 men.
is Mr. Chairman : In rising to address
you, I disclaim all intention to throw
censure upon any person connected with
the executive branch of the government :
motives of that kind shall nevej- influence
my conduct, while I have the honor to
occupy a seat oft this floor. Iiideed, t
should not. trouble the house, at all, upon
the subject, but for the circumstance that
! b.elf committee, that reported
.this bill. This committee has frequently
been called upon for explanations : and.
as one of its members, I feel it my duty
briefly to state some of the-reasons that
influence my vote upon the question. s
1 shall not attempt to folio vr the gen
tlemen who have preceded rae in this de
bate, through all their various statements
and calculations, particularly on the sub
ject of the -Treasurer's report. I am net
sufficientylskilled in the finances of the"
country, to throw much light oh the sub
ject ; for even those gentlemen who have
,for years, turned theirattention that way,
are far from agreeing in their results. It
is enough for my purpose to know that
the Treasury: is empty -that we must
lay taxes, borrow money, or curtail our
expenditures. A to the fiist, for many
reasons, which it is rot.necessary now to
examine, the people at this time, are not
in a situation to pay -taxes. As to the
second, it is believed, by many judicious
persons, that the borrowing of money is
only . postponing the evil, which in
the end will come ; and that it will lay
the foundation of a large publicdebt,
which may ultimately prove extremely
oppressive to the citizens of this country.-
The third j alternative, retrenchment, .
appears to meet tlie approbation of a large f
majority of this house; but, sir, when we
cobe to point out the particular items,
what is the result ? If you attempt to re
'duce our own pay, we are met' at - the .
threshold , and told that members of Con
gress are worse paid than any other per
sons in the government. If you look to
the heads of, departments and their nu
merous clerks, why, it is with the. great
est difficulty,! and most rigioV ejbonomy,
that they can support themselves and
families with their salariesi As to the
pension list, gratitude and justice forbid
that we should take from the old soldier
his miserable; pittance. As to the navy,
the pride of our country, and which' lias f
heaped imperishable, fame, touch but a
plank, and we shall become the prey of
some foreign1 power; and) sir, to continue
thecatalogue, when we come to the ar-
my, and are about to dismiss so much cf
it as we can ! do without, we are accused
of prostrating essential establishments,
and are toId,fthat when we get to war,
some fifteen or twenty years hence, per
haps with! the . inhabitants of the moon, '
that we cannot again expect to , obtain
the services of these men. So that, after
going the rounds, we find ourselves pre
cisely where, we started : and we shall not .
even have it in our power, on returning
home, to say to our consituents. as was";
pleasantly remarked by an honorable r
gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Clay) at
the last session we have saved 2C0 dol- ;
lars of the public money, after spending
thousands in debate. -
The rules that apply to the conduct of
an individual, are certainly in sortie mea
sure, applicable to governments ; and
4o borrow a comparison used by the gen
tleman from 'Connecticut, .(Mr? iomlin
scn7) it is very easy for a man, after riding'
on horseback, or in a gig to 'persuade
himself that a carriage would be more
comfortable ; and, next, that four horses
would make it run mudeasier immedi
ately the two foremost horses become an
indispensable part of the establishment,
fnthis manned, sir, individuals and gov
ernments, go on adding; cut infinitum to
their establishments, believing that every
"part is essential. Sir if there is any
thing proven by history it is this, that
governments, as well as individuals, may
commif errors ; arid, whenever convinced
of that factj to retrace their steps is, to
my mind; the highest evidence of wisdc m
and magnanimity to persist in ern r,
from the fear of being charged with vatil- I
lating in their conduct, and changeable
in their plans, is the reverse.
To attempt to prove that standing ar
mies are dangerous to liberty, in time of
peace, would be as unnecessary as to at
tempt to prove that the sun has done
shining: but I do not believe, that any
danger is to be apprehended from the
present number of our army, nor even
were it much larger than it is : and this
is an argument to my mind, in favor of ;
.'!
