NATIONAL DEFENCE.
Mr. Ranporrn introduced the resolutions inserted inonr last Ga
zette, with tiic following remarks.—He {aid that as long as the fubjc ¢k
of natiosat defence was in poficifion of a refpeable committee of the
House, and as long as their report was perding before it, he had
deemed it, if not improper, at least unavailing in him, to offer any
thing upcn that fubje@®. But, that committee having rcported, he
saw, from the courle which the debate had taken yeflerday, a necei
fity, so prefling that he could no longer dispense with it, for oftering
some propobtions on this most important (übje@. These propofi=
tions grew out of the almolt universal impreflion which seemed to
exist that there 'was but one weculiar mode of defence to which the
nation could tura It{elf in this perilous jun&ure of their affairs,—
When {o great an appropriation was demanded for this favorite ex
pedignt, he feared that if other plans of defence, which at leaflt as
high claims to the public attention, were not now brought forward,
they might bereafier find an empty treasury, and be compelicd to
relort to the 1y stem of loaas, recommended by the head of that de
plarm =ot as the only means, howcever precarious, of providing for
them.
It had always been his opinion, that whether in war or in peace,
there was on¢ fyfltem of national defence which ought sedulously to
be cherished, and concerning which there conld not exist a contra=
ricty of opinion between any two men in that house, or out of it 3
aud he had hoped that the attention of the committees (for there
were more than one) would have been directed towards it. Were
they not told, and was it nut {cif-evident, that if matters came to the
last extremity, we {hould not only have an extensive fronticr expof=
ed to the inroads of the enemy’s continental pofieflions, but that a
vast line of country from Detroit to Natchitochies would bave the na=
tive savages let loole upon their dispersed and almost defencelefs
populatior: ? Did there exist then no neccility for defence but of a
few places on the coafl, the depots of privileged wealth, when the
whole.line of back settlements were left at the mercy of the ENCINY
and their savage adherents, without a source, even upon paper, to
prote¢t them. If it should be {uid that there exifled no obligation
on the union gratuitoufiv to beflow arms upon the individual states,
which had failed to furaifh themfeives the fame reason would apply
yet more forcibly to the fortific#%ion of ltates which had neglected
to provide that {pecies of felf-deience. In the one case the arms is
sued were (till the general property, at all times disposable for the
gond of the whole ; in the other. the fortifications were so much re
al cftate vested in the country where they were erected— fixtures to
the freehold It appeared to him that, whether they considered
themselves to be in a state of profound peace, or en the eve of war,
or (as he feared would prove to be the case) in acual war, it be
hoved them to arm the natural defence of their country, to rely, as
had been said by a gentleman from New York, uot upon delusive the
ory, but established pradtice ; upoa that which, heretofore. bad (2:-
ricd them trivmphast through danger, and upon which, when they
cculd nolonger depend, there was an-end of our existence as a pation.
There was another fubjet to which he heped the committee
would aifo have turned their attention—one on which, as on the firft,
no two men could differ—uoot like gun-boats perishable in its nature
and susceptible of dispute as to its utility—which remained to be
telted by experience—a train of formidable artillery. that might not
only oppose the enemy in a particular harbor, but calculated to
change its position, to bear upon his armed veflcls whercfoever they
might lie, to compel him 0 quit cur waters, and, even if he should
effe& a landing, confront him under any pofiible change of cir
cumstances. He was the more inclined to hope that his opinion
would prevail upon this (übject when he heard a gentleman whose
influence wis almost decisive 1 that Houle—he truflied that it was
deserved—declare that terra firma was our natural element—that it
was madness to dream of coping with the enemy on his own vane
tage ground—and yet all the provision which they had thought of
making was to fight him with his cown weapons. He reminded the
House with what fliiking effet bis friend from Marylaynd, (Mr.R.
Neifon) whose military experience entitled bim to peculiar weight
in this matter, had on a former occzfion cautioned them, that ereck
what fortifications they might, the enemy were notobliged tolic be
fore them—that thips of war were a moveable force or the water,
and to be resisted with effe, must be opposed by a moveable force
on the land.
These were the two leading measures which were imprefled on
his mind as proper to be adepted—Maufkets in the bands of our cit
izens, and cannon in our arsenals, were so much »national wealth,
even exclusive of the idea of present national danger.—The uses to
which they were to be applied under any poflible emergency were
not fufcepfible of dispute. No man could arraign this as a visiona
ry plan of defence, as had been done with rcfpect to gun boag.« and
fortifications, Upon them however he should fay nothing at pre
sent, except that he thought his the preferable mode of defence, and
one entitled to be provided for before the Trealury fthould be drain
ed for less worthy purposes. :
But there was another and more important measure, which ought
to precede any step which the Houfc might take for defence. It
was a measure of justice—which would nov only entitle them to fpc
cefs. but was eminently caiculated to ensure it—a measure which
would unite all hearts and nerve every hand in the caule of their
country. Tt was to do away the stigma of fuffering those who had
fought and bled in their service, to starve in the ﬂ.rccts. \./Vnh what
face could the governwent call upon the youth of the nation to turn
out in the public defence, when there eyes were every where afiail
ed by the spectacle of their countrymen and kindred, veterans of the
revolution, who had raised the proud favric of our independence,
begging from door to door a morsel of bread. It was impo.ﬂiplc to
contemplate the condition of these gallant men, who, after giving to
their country every thing, were consigned by it to beggary and want,
without sensations of indignation and shame, as well as of Fomx’mﬂ‘cra
tion Butitis a fubje& (said Mr. R.) on which I will {2y no more
—1 cannot supply feclings to those who are destitute of them—and
I should as feon undertake to raise the very dcgl as to excite those
whom the fubjeét itfelf is unable to movc.—-—H? conclutled by oﬁ‘c.r
ing three resolutions, calculated to meet_the obje@s which he hadin
view ~Profefling himfelf, at the fame time, willing to submit to any
amendment, which did not aiter their fuhﬁancg. [He then read in
his place the resolutions, which may be found in our last pa_pc.r]
B:fore he handed these resolutions to the chair, Mr. R ;[ald he
would obviate an obje&ion which might be be made to th;‘ firft—
that they had alreadly a law to provide for these persons. &rl‘o the
disgrace of the statute book they had a pension law. What was the
provision 7 That a man who bad incurred disability by known
wonnds during the revolutionary war, after bcn}g tied downto the
most minute proofs, which, in most cases, from the death or remov
al of his uid companions in arms, he was - unable to give, although
the fact might be of general notoriegy, was, if he could surmount alt
the diffitultics thrown in his way, entitled to a miserable annuity to
take date, not from the time when the disability was incurred, buct
from the time when his claim should be cftablifhed. So that the
man whose keene sensibility had restrained him from applying to
the public for relief,who had struggled on, in the hope of better days,
till the last gasp, was put off with a Pcnﬁon, which so far from dis
charging the petty debts which he might have contra&ed previous
to his application, would hardly keep foul and body together.—
When if his pension were to take date from the time of the service
