It is, sir, a very unsatiiafactcry mode of defei.ding any measure, to sav that ! sometlung cf the kind has existed in "times past." Upon that principle, not enly tr.e foibles, but thcenormities of almost every government, might, be defended.; The fact, ho ever, is net a it is a1 leged to consisted only ot S0C0 men,and he gt,t on very well with that number ; when an aspect of war suddenly anntaredin on v J horizon it is true that the number was in creased. It in a course of years after tiie propo-td reduction, a ' prospect of war should again appear, ' we can imitate the example of Mr. Jefferson, andiucrcasc the number. . A great error lms arisen a 0ungst us, from- suppotin- that the max ims of poUcy ia reiatiou to standing ar- rnics in Europe are applicable .tfciour situ- ation ; whereas, directly the contrary is the fact. In Europe, great, powerful and Inutile nations border upon each o- ther; they are always, disposed to take an . advantage, and often Commence wars j without permitting, their adversaries u have any notice of xuch designs. 13ut with us, although our government is com posed of separate independent 'sovereign- ties, vet thev are Dounaiogevnci uuc of immense extent ; no war can be undertaken against us without giving us reasonable time for preparation. The maxims, therefore, in favor of stand ing armies ia Europe do not apply to the . ovn n.r.rnt of the United States ; and the question for us now to decide is not t whether the armv was as siwi.iiuiUiS t!)e ad ministration 'of Mr. JtHer son as it is at present, but whether it is not now greater than necessary. I have produc ed statements to support the affirmative of this proposition, and I call upon gentle men tn ilisnrnve them. If it can be shewn to my sotisfaction that the present estab- Iishment ci ten thousand 1 necessai y -the defence cf the Connti y, I pledge you my word sir, that I wili not vote for re dtrction. Prove this, and my oppos.ti-.Mi ceases fi-nm that moment. But, beiie v ir.g that the number now in service great ly exceeds that which is necessary, I must persevere m the course I hav e nurk- 1 CU OUt. ' '- ':.
