!" 1t does not appear, that the refusal to
negotiate with Mr.. jackson, is considered by
our government as sufficient cause for war,
nor do we apprehend that his dismissal from
the country would be thought so; but it
seems to be gaining, pretty general belief,
that the American and French governments
have made up their differences and if so,
we do not see how this middle state of things
between peace and war, can be kept up be

Mr.. SNI7R, Of Md. from the commitse to
sohoni zoas referred so mach Of the mes
sage of the Presidsnt as relates to an
efeetuai organization Of the militia Qfthe
REPORTED:
That in considering the subject
submitted to them, impediments of varioua
and insuperable kinds present them selves to
view The constitution of the u S. gives to
congress only qualified agency, On the sub.
Ject of the militia, and authorizes them only
:" to provide for organizing, arming and dis
cipiining the militia and for governing such
part OF them as play be employed in the SER
vice OF the U. s.; reservng to the states
respectively, the appointment Of the officers
and the authority of training the militia,
according to the discipline prescribed by con
Bress. As under this provision no authori.
~ is delegated to congress to regulate fines
tor non attendance, nor to fix the DAYS for
training, the only efficient means seem to be
wanting to give force and skill to this exta-
blishment. The law of 1892, already pro
vides for organizing and disciplining the mi
litla and subsequent act makes provision
tor arming them. All therefore, within the
power OF Congress, seems to have been al
ready done, unless it should be eecmcd ex-
pedient to make ncw organisation, by q
classification, which shall Constitute select
and reserve militia
| The prejudices against such mode of Or
ganization ia many parts Of the Union, and
me diihcui,iss to be suimonnted, at iao-
fnent ike the present, have deferred the
committee from submitting such project
! Ii the states are anxious for an effective
militia, to them belong the power, and to
them too belong the means OF rendering the
militia truly our bulwarls in war, and cur
safe guard peace and as the committee
are willing 10 hope that the states will not
be unmindul OF the great duty of providing
tor the national safety, by q well ordered and
effective militia, and as the committee are
| unwilling to derive any powers to Congress,
not expressly given by the Constitution, nor
necessarily incident TO the powers delegated.
they submit the following resolution, viz:
RessfUed. That the Committee be dis
charged from the further consideration of this
| subject.
