be acknowledged as the beit iupPorr IN a tree Re

rying into effect iuch iyitem, it became US to pay
every possible attention this very important iub-
iect. He thought the preient lyitem very except
enable; and the one propoed and now under conh-
Iteration, appeared to him compuIGye, arbitrary,
and not agreeable to the lprit of Republican 60
vernment. The annual encanpments would be very
expenire and injurious morals and induitry he
regiments thus competed would extend over great
iurtace, and would that compact lolidiy which
military corps hould pofseis. In the bill, all lex
eept thois exemptedl between 20 and IS years OF
age, are to do duty. THIS a period, he iaid
that the puret morals ought be incucated in
youth, initead of which we might reaonabiy ex-
poet that greater part of them would, in COME
uuepce of their being encamped, imbibe immor al
principles which would be exceeding difficult to re-
move. Bt!ides, this is period that young men take
upon ,hemielve active part in life, and begin the
world for themlelves.

very great expence, iuoh as in our pfeent clrcum-
ftances, we are unable TO bear. To agree TO the
fflt claue would be legiatng in the dark, as 1t
was Impossible to know what number OF CITIZENS
there were within that age, and OF co urle we can
not form an Ultimate of the expenses. II uch iyi-
