The report anil address being read
as amended; .
Mr. J Clark moved that the
considerauOa. of tlu m be indefinitely
postponed. If'hc succeeded in this
motion, hewould move an address
to th'c President ol the U. Sutcs,
freeii from the objectionable matter
which the one now before the Senate,
in hia opinion, contained
MrAD.MuRPiiETaaid.it would
. dn-M hn amiiIv inrUo him it the
gentleman whd made this motion,
had assigned the reasons which in
duced him to make it. v
Mr. Clark, said he would c'o so,
since the gentleman Irom Orange
wished it. fie rud hoped that he
nhculd not have been called upon
to nulc an exoo5iticn of the exposi
tion of the Commituc ; but, having
been called to it, he should no shrink
from the task. Gentlemen had re
quired a recommitment o! the Report,
in order that it might be freed from
errors, or to use the emphatic lao
gug of the gentleman from Orange,
that it might exhibit the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the
truth." But, on the rc-appearance
of what he was going to call their
Banding; (but which Irom the length
of time it had teen in the nursery
did not descivcthc app -Nation) is it
that model of perfectioQ ve had rea
son to expect ? y

the General Guveinm:.: the tight to
declare w-r : aud h. : -.jed it as
a aolemn obiigatici w. ' 10 provide
for the defence of iV i'nn.w
In this position Ye tb. cifully con
curred vhn the committer. l"he next
paragraph Mates that N.ih Carolina,
in the peiiod of drgcr nd alrm,
bad tcr depend aionc upon her own
efforts. He wou'd ask the members
of the Senate if this assertion be cor
rect ? Were there, not at the period
alluded to, a company of the United
States troops at Fort Hamntouand
encthertit I'ortjohnston ? He knew
that was the case. This complaint
therefore is unfoundc!.
It is next stated, .that the general
govenment f.ad provided ftr this
SStatp no means either for protection
or defence and had withdrawn most
of those that were found , upon our
coast at the firkt moment of danger.
St ought to be remembered, that in
"a great Cmfederacy, like the United
States, wher we arc unhappily involv.
ed in War, at the first commencement
of such a state of things, the Govcrn
Vncntwilljin a great measure, be un
prepared, and could tjpt at once, ex
tend adequate protection to every
part of the Union. This State to be

? In the'ncDhcej.we that'
the Gun loata wBchu were in -commission
at ; VVilmtngtpn ' .$vheri , the,
war was declared had be lajd up
in onjinary. He - kpew jOpthing 41
this facuj , It might be correct.:. , I t is
then Vtatcdhat a company of regular
soldferi that .earrisoned iFC Hamp
ton had been .withdrawn and' sent r-
yonJ the State. li would seern to be
insinuated they had been acnt.intq a
sister ftte, But wfhat isthr, truth ?
They are uow with Gen.. Hampton
fighttngour battles in Canada. x Doeaj
North Carolina owe nothing to i the
Nation in her present atVuggle vfijh a
powerful enemy ? , Why were IQO QOO
of the Militia called into service,! f they
are not to bcemployed ? 1 Key have
been tried on bur frontier, and 'they
refuse! to cross the lines. ' Except
indeed, the Alilitia from the Western
States, who have fought like heroes
and set'an example, worthy, of being
followed by their Eastern" brethren.
It is sgd that" the Representations
of thej Uovernor of this State .have
heen treated with neglect by the 'Ge
neral Government. He could' not
say whether this was correct or not,as
he had not been able "to ascertain pre
cisely the dates of thecprrespon'dence.
But it was suted that ihc'Gbvcrnor
had been written to by a sub-clerk of
the War Department. If he were
not mistaken, at the time the Govern
or wrote to the War Office, the Head
of that Department was 'with the
Northern Armies ; and if so,' it is
not extraordinary that ryav letter
should have been answered by a
Clerk In the Department.
The next complaint is, that no forts
have been erected. It was well known
to the mtmbers of the Senatr that a
fort had bcen begun many yean ago,
under the administration of Mr. A-
dams, on Bcac6n bland, "wWch is
now so highly recommended as a pro-
r ,. i ' .
per scite lortnis purpose ; nuui was
then represented by some persons
who had wtfghrwith the administra
tion, that a Fort in that situation
w
would be ol no use, except to defend
Shell Casdc, and that it was cal- ti
ted only for the benefit of an indivi
dual. It was therefore abandoned.
It was said, we have no vessels of
war in our watert. What Gentlemen
meant by essrls of war he did not
know. Do they mean 74s, frigates,
or 20 or 30 gun ships ? If these could
be of any use any where, it must be
at Wilmington ; but he doubted
whether thty cculd be of service there.
Did they mean common tenders ?
We have not many of these. If not,
they must have reference to the dea- j
pised gun boats. Could they not
have been sent here ? Unfortunately,
they were blockaded up by the Ene
mv in the Chesapeake. But it may
be aked why they were -not sent be
fore tbe blockade. . Was it not Mr.
C asked, a correct policy to attend
first to points which are most threat
ened with immediate danger. New
York. Philadelphia, Baltimore, Nor
!b k,&c. were the most prominent
objects. Government had not the
means, of sending vessels of war to
every part of our coast at on; e. But
gentlemen will perhaps say theymighi
have had vessels built in our own
ports. GfiVenrment had not suffi
cient resources. It is to be regretted,
that in some parts of the U. States, a
spirit of opposition had been raised
to the government and the War, that
had, in some degree, paralyzed their
efforts. " . .
When,, said Mr. C. we are toJd
that . no regalar troops have been
found upon our sea-coast, except one
company bf Artillery at Fort John,
stoff, is this 4 the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth ?"
Are there not gentlemen, within my
hearing, rihp know that there were
regularroops at Fort Johnston'and
Fort Hampton, besides the troops
now there ? He knew there was, aud
mentioned the particular troops.
. The next complaint is, that the de
tached militia called into service' had
been much neglected, he. That they
had been required to dp ordinary gar
rison duty, and that, till lately, they
had b'utfew tents, he admitted, but
that they had perished for want of
medicine and hospital stores, he de
nied It is much to be regretted,
that the Presidenfof the U. States is
under the necessity of being indebted
to . other persons for: the recommen
dation of suitable characters for office
in thcarm)V Nor did he "say this,
with a view of derogating from the
merit of any of our men in high sta-
.1
non: though he belieTrcdc that some

rv imnortancei Wheo' at Ncwbern
lately, Mr. C. saw a gentleman who
held the office of Assisunt Inspector,
.General, who yas on nwfHj
spectahe, troppa.,at rort nampwu.
The Lieutenant of the .detachment
Stationed at that post, Was in town &
eompliinerf that die' troops had not
received "any pay. ucu "y,""-" j ,
the fact was found to be, that the Gap
tain Commandant had made his re
turn, not to Gen. Pinckney'as he
ought; to- have done,', but to General
Jones of tKis State, VYfjl'ch accounted
for the delay. ' Whether the situation
of the officers oHhe . detachment at
Fort Johnaton Vas" similar, hi would
not say; V But ,knew that they
had madevreturhs to the Adjutant
General of this'.State. Will you, then,
blame i the General Government for
errors arising from the inexperience or
the ignorance of officers commanding
detachments of militia ? He hoped
not.
It is next said, that the regular
troops enlisted here, instead of being
sent to defend our seaeoast, have
been sent elsewhere. Is (his the
whole truth ? He asked whether some
men of this description had not been
sent to defend bur coast ? Where, he
asked,, was Capt. Bryan's Company
raised ? In Halifax, Edgecomb. &c.
Whre was Capt. Copeland's Com
pany enlisted ? In Perqutmons, Pas
quotank, Chowan, &c. and were not
both these sent to our sea coast ?
They were, and continued there for
nine months, until the militia took
their place.
Is it, then, candid, is it liberal, af
ter this second attempt to prepare this
Heport, to palm upon the Senate as
sertions which are not founded in
fact?
At the time, fit is stated) that the
Secretary of State was apprising Gen.
Pinckney of the sailing of the enemy's
armament, and its probable destina
tion, the troops at Salisbury were un
der marching orders. He saw no
thing in this which shewed the Pre
sident had neglecter his duty. In
deed, he was warranted in saying that
though these troops had but lately left
Salisbury, they have been under
marching orders since the 25th of last
August. " It was not, therefore, pro
bably known to Governmtnt that the
troops were still at Salisbury. It
might be expected they were on their
march to the northward.
. It is said, that though N. Caroli na
has furnished as many troops as al
most any other State, yet none of
these troops have been employed io
her defence. Neither of thetfe posi
tions can be substantiated. , Nay it is
evident that a part of the troops rais
td in the State, as before observed,
have been employ ed on the Seacornt.
But it is stated thai our Militia
havebeen made to pe norm garrison
duty. And why not ? If we are to f
rely upon our Militia for defence,
what duty are they to perform, if they
are not to do duty within their own
State ? We have seen them refuse
to cross the lines And if they will
not fight the Enemy where he is to
be met, they surely, ought at least to
d duty where their services are want
ed at home. If detached, they ought
not to be unemployed. They will, to
be sure, always be ready to oppose a
foe not hen to be named, which may
arise amongst ourselves.
Mr. C. hoped after this exposition
of the Committee's Report twice Cre
fined, this, motion for an indefinite
postponement thereof, will -not, he
trusted, be deemed an improper one.
(Debate to be continued.)
