Both are diatinetlyand emphatically no

poaea af National defence, wherever nd

ever read to more la tbn place where
their presence may be demanded. This
ubiquitous duty ia the National f oldiar,
of course, forbid tn bin aft system or

be caoot contract to build ; if a farmer,
bo cannot aaw or plant, witb any certain

engagement of the soldier, being I be
ever ready to obey tba command hi
aperior, b must abandon all other pn
suits in nider to be prompt lo the dia
trrietice of a standi:. g mmy.
In my opinio, tb force, prnpoted lo
be raised by tbi bill, baa all iba charac
teristic of a atandin army, and) a th
Eierittive I subject lo no control a to
tb lime or piece wbn or where, within
tbe limit of tb Statu, it is to be used, he

der, to keep it ever in arms, and quarter
ed wbereaoever he may think It lo plana
it. Ha ia th aol judge of tbe occasion
or occasions, wbieb or to call it for;h,
and he may aa it for an unlawful, a well
as for a lawful, purpose. He may march
it or camp il, in on bod, or by detach
ment, jutt in the eante manner aa the
Pi . a dent may tba standiug army of tha
Uuitcd Statca.
In mv opinion, tba Slate ran keep no
eb body of troop in lias of peace,
wiinout tb couaeui of. Uo agree a.recu
given.
The only form of military force, which.
tb Sta , under it present Omatuotion,
can protend to errata, i a militia aud tbe
Slate Cnuatitu'.iun, wkit it lpreai de
nounce standing bod nf troop, fall
provide for nrliti, ander article IS.
In ibis article it ia eipreaely declared,
that "ail able bodied mile cliisea of iko
Slale of North Carolina, between tbe age
of twenty on and forty ear wba ar
citiatena of ik United State shall be lia
ble to militia ditty," nlea exempted for
scruple again! bearing arms. And tbat
''tbe General Aaemtlr ahall provide for
Ibo orgnuiauit;, arming, equipping and
discipline of the m'lilia aud for paving tbe
am, when railed iuto active aerviee."
That "the Governor abaJI b Oomman-dr-in-Cbief
and hare power power to call
out tbe m iitia t execute lh- sW,nppre
riot nr ins urrectiona, and repel tuvaeiun "
Now supposing tba pmvisiona in lk
present State Cnueihuion to be lawful, it
ia manifeat, thai thia it tba only military
orgaobMlion, which can have any coneti-
tutioual existence in tbe riute, iu time of
peace, and the only military arm, which
ba Executive can wield to suppress inter
nal disorder and preserve tbe peace and
it ia tbe only on which the P re i dent of
the United State caa appeal to for waxi
lr purposes.
If it be lawful to raiae the force propoe-
ed hy tbi bill, It it equally so to orgaiiht
many bodies of armed men, called by dif
ferent name, and sp.ead tbem over the
land, till the antir ma af men, e institu
ting the matera!, of which the Legislature
is commanded to form tb militia, ahall be
consumed in separate standing armies.
The Constitution, both Federal and
State, reeagniso standing troops and ajilU
tia a tbe only bod.e or armed men In
trr.ded to be allowed; and, indeed, how
