Mr. S. Smith was perfectly agreed, on
general principles, with the gentleman,
who had juf fet down. A preference
ought certainly to be given to that def
eruption of troops that required much pre-
vious lnitruetion before they could be
ufeful.
In 1894 he had heartily concurred in
adopting meafures calculated to call into
eAii}ence gentlemen of capacity to be in
frneted III enginery. :
An additional regiment had been urged
at that time. It had been urged in 17o6.
A report was afterwards made of the mum
Der OF required: Upon that report the
new regiment had been bottomed. Itwas
then declared it would be no defence a.
gaina an invading enemy and it was re-
pied that it was propofed to organize it
tor the particular purpole of defending
our ports and harbors, and as a fchool OF
information.
At that time we had the PROJECT of.
war before US. Still it was underRood as
part Of our permanent arrangement. If
tie eaablifhment then formed was fufici-
ent, when we have no new forts except
thofe in the South WeGern Territory.
A proof of the ufelefsnefs Of the additi-
onal battalion was derived from the con
duct of the Executive. Neither the Sc
cretary at war nor the PRECEDENT had CALI.
ed it into 1ervice. =
The great object Of the regular troops
was to take care Of the arms, forts, &c.
and not ultimately to defend them. That
Object could only be accomplished by the
militia, on whom, in periods Of danger we
mutt rely for our fubhantial defence for no
man can fuppoie z6 men equal to the de-
fence of Fort Mifiin, if attacked by an
invading enemy.
MIR. Smith faid he thought the prefent
number of artillerifs fuAicient. Indeed
one company might be fpared from fort
Jay, and'one from Newport. Fort Jay
was in the vicinity of populous city
from which any aid could be obtained.
The harbour at Newport he confdered of
the utmoa Importance, as he thought in
time of war we mutt look to that port
for protection of our navy.
MIR, Smith was not an enemy to mea-
fures of defence. He had been among the
foremof in propofng and fupporting them.
But he thought the grand defence of this
country reAed in the navy and militia.
Let us then encourage and advance thofe.
They will be our true friends in time of
danger. Congrefs had applied fun Of
money to be laid out in arms to be put into
the hands of the militia. And yet not one
fand of arms had been given to that ufe-
full body. Why had this not been done !?

Inc want OF money he preiumed was the
cau1e.
He was not among thofe who wifhcd to
compleat the diltruetion of defenfive mea-
lures. Nor was he for rufhing into child
iih expence, barely to make boat of our
frength.
MIR. Smith affirmed that the fourth bat
talon had been RATED in back handed
way, and not in the fair regular manner
that had been pretended. Without tax
ing up the ubject by itfelf, bill had
been Pailed in 1899, barely directing that
regiment ihould confiR of four batta-
lions and 10 back handed did the pref
dent deem it that he had never RATED the
additional battalion, not conGdering it
the with of the houfe that it ihould be
RATED and as to the fecretary at war, he
had given it up lait felton, for military
fchool.
A gentleman was greatly alarmed a
bout nations not treating with us, as if
our having one Or two battalions of artil-

reign nations.

by the Propofed reduction. It only affect
ed the future eaabli{hment. 1t did not
dimipifh in the leaf the exiting force.
As to the mea!ures of the new adminif-
tratlon, no one can tell what they will be.
He truited that they would be what they
ought to be.
1t appeared to Mr.. Smith Rrange to
urge the rafting of a new body of the mi
litary, while the old body remained 70
incomplete. There were nominal corps
IN exlftence without man. Why appoint
officers for fuch corps? BIT if officers are
wanted, there are one hundred and fifty
vacancies in the old corps-hll them.
The gentleman from Manachufetts had
fhewn that this corps was ufcleE; he had
fhewn it had been authorized by the le
giilature without having been called into
exiffence by the PRECEDENT when war threat
ened US, and now when gentlemen tell us
they expect land he believed they expect
ed truly peace with all the world, we
are called upon--arange inconfiaence J.
to organize this force.
The fun of $4,000 dollars to be fayed
by the propoted retrenchment had been
called pitiful. He was far from think
ing $4,000 dollars pitiful fun.
MIR. Smith ditclaimed harboring the
mott diRant idea Of diminilhing the pre-
fent effective force of the United States,
and more particularly that of the artillery.
That at prefent in exiRence he thought
uieful and fuhicient.
Mr.. Fl. Lee thought view could be
taken of the fubjcd before the houfe, that
would demonfrate the incxpediency of
adopting the refolution propofed by the
gentleman from Manachuletts. Let
view be taken of our forts, their diRance
from each other, the amount Of our ord.
nance, and our infant navy, and the num-
Der of men required for all thefe objects
and he would ak the mover of the reiolu.
