read, Mr. Dayton proposed a Reflation to
-the following Purport.——'
That the Secretary of the Treasury be di
rected to report a Plan for reimbursing the
Loan of the Bank cA&eUnited States, agreea
ble to the Provisions made by Law—this Re
solution was agreed to.
The Speech being gone through with, the
Committee rose and reported that they had
come to sundry Resolutions on the fame—The
Report was laid on the Table, and the House
adjourned.
Wednesday, November zi.
The Motion of Mr. Murray for the ap
pointment of a Committee to repeal that
clause of the Mili ia Law, was taken up.
Mr. Murray supported his Motion on the
Ground of the injustice & ineqality of the pro
frifions in the existing clause. He foggefted,
that perhaps, making rhe arming a publick
charge might remedy the evil; or some other
mode of removing the objectionable part of
the clause might occur to the Committee.
Mr. Williamson objected to the Idea of
making the arming a publick expense ;—the
Burden to defray this expense would be une
qual ; besides, part of the Militia were already
provided wi h arms.
Mr. Kittera was against making arming
a publick expense. It would require, he
shewed by a Calculation, 42 Millions of Dol
lars to defray it, foppofing as a Gentleman
from Maryland had asserted, tha it would cost
zol. for the Arms, &c. of each Man.
Mr. Mercer said the Expense was not
lets,'and is more oppressively felt, if the Mode
of imposing if is unequal. He saw no Nccef
fity for a Body of Militia of 750,000 ; he was
of Opinion that 30,000 would be amply fuf
"ficient..
After some remarks from Mr. Page again ft
the Motion, the Yeas & Nays on the Qjeftion
were called for, and were Yeas 6 Nays 50.

ing Peace wi^h the Indian Tribes, as contain

Mr. Fitzfaw wished that some other Mode
than this should be ad cp ed.
Mr. White thought, that , the Publick would
be better fatisfied to fee a Publication of the

a Committee might be appointed to extrad
such Fads from the Documents communicat
ed as would be proper for Publication, without
including hose which were either improper or
unnecessary to be exposed.
