STANDING ARMY"
FROM III. REPUBLICAN CRISIS.

IN the, spring Of 1907, about eighteen
months ago, " at numerous meeting OF re-
publican electors" at Albany, OF which GEO.
Marchant was chairman, ard Elisha Jenkins
secretary, sundry resolutions were passed,
one of which closed in the following man
ner -
That raad career Of federalism, which,
" under the administration of John Adams,
" had well nigh subdued the spirit of free
men by systematic oppression, and by
/" attempts, with STANDING ARMY,
e to silence and overawe public opinion"
This isno common democratic newspaper
gibberish. tits part of a formal resolution,
sanctioned BY the names of high official cha
racters and as our western readers are, per
haps at this moment, honored with the pre-
SERGE of a few hundred standing troops, for
SOM burbose, we have q strong inclination
to measure a democratic sentiment ot 1907,
bv democratic act OF 1903, and thus prove
the tleceitfulness Of the one, or the wicked
ness oftile other.
1.-THE provisional troops raised under the
administration OF Adams could be Justly
termed 6 standing army" (and such they
have been termed BY this numerous meet
ing then has Mr.. Jefferson raised stand
ing army; for the nature OF things cannot
SO materially alter III IS months. Il
fla standing army is intended "to ST.
lence and overawe- public opinion then
MIR. jefferson is guilty Of tl,is crime.
ia standing army is considered by good
republicans as a part Of a system OF oppres-
sion, calculated tosubdue the spirit of free
men-how much has Mr.. Jefferson to an
swer for!
If the raising of standing army is evil
dence of the G mad career" OF a party, how
mad, how very mad, is the democratic par
", at this day.
Before, however, we sscribe to Mr.. Jef-
ferson's army, all the evils attendant on that
of MIR. Adams, we must consider the diff
ferences in circumstances. Perhaps we can
shew that federal standing army was the
greatest of all curses, whilst de1aocratic
standing army is the first of blessings. A
standing army, of itself, may be very
harmless thing but the use that is made of
it, renders 1t either good or bad, as the
case may be. It is not the army, but the
persons who direct it, that mark its charac-
ter. Now the old federal army, raised ur,d-

et,te. would have needed no prompting, to
make the trial. They cannot, therefore,
give any direct support to the professions OF
that great and virtuons character though
should he prevail, they may smooth the
wav. in this manner, for his labors, by put
ting down the partizans, who will give him
the most obstruction.
If the measures Of Mr.. Jefferson are
doomed to survive him, let it be our care
to preserve as much power from the grasp
of his successor, as may be necessary to.
protect us from entire vassslagc to proud
and immoderate party. Let us destroy the
delusive impression, that they unite all
hearts in the support of that course, which
we think terminates in NATIONAL rum. 1t Is
impossible that they ever can bring into a
Conference with their designs, the independ-
emf men of Mr.. Randolph's way OF think
ing. Why not, therefore, occasionally give
and take mutual support, when 1t can be
done without any collision of principle, and
when it must rebound to the public good,
whether the fsderalists contemplate the ex-
ereise Of power, orthe duty OF an opposltl-
on For it is not merely for the former
case that we ought seasonably to provides
IF We are to continue the minority, we may
make Ourselves respected, and render the
majority more moderate and forbearing.--
No despotisia was ever created, TIL sur
plus Of power was obtained, beyond what
was necessary for ordSsary purposes. White
the public opinion waivers only II, tavos OF a
party, it viii act with more justice, and ne
yer without circumspection. When al op-
position has ceased, arrogance takes the
place OF prudence. A permanent embargo
would not have been attempted IN the early
part of MIR. Iefferson's administration. The
regulation BY treasury circulars, OF the sup,
.ply OF articles Of food internally, would not
have been attempted, In any other situation
than a temporary infatuatioa, gradually
produced among the people.
In every point of view, therefore, whe-
Their we consult the comparative streno 9Th
and importance OF the whole federal party;
whether we regard the necessity OF express
ing the opinion Of the Virsinlan iederaiists,
or whether we desire 80 check the mos as
piring and the moss opposite section OF our
opponents, it appears eligible, that FIR.
Monroe should receive In nis own state, al!
the assistance we can give him.

FER Adams, was commanded BY GENE
RAJ WASHINGTO N--consequently it
was intended 6 to silence and ovsrawe pub
lie opinion" and to "subdue the spirit Of
freemen." But our new democratic army
IS commaned by tie virtuous and patriotic
Gen. Wilkinson--and Of course cannot be
designed to silence or overawe, or subdue
the people. General Wilkinson is a rare
protector of the rights Of the citizen We
advise the people on the Western frontiers
therefore, to remain perfectly quiet. They
have nothing to apprehend. It's WILKA4Nf-
SONS. not WASHINGTON'S, Army,
that has come to protect them. !!
