FRIDAY, Jan. 10.
Mr.. Randolph rose and said, that having
been engaged in raising a large military iorcr,
be-, Tor ono, ir the United States were to in
cur this expence, was disposed 10 give them
employ ncnt, though probably not tho identi
cal employment of which the House had
beard 50 much. Il was the boast OF the Ro-.
man legion and its commanders, that the Ro.
man soldiery was so well vcrsed in tho. ush
Of the pick,axe and the spade as the firclock
and so essential wa. it dee med by tha; wise
and military people than the soldiery should
not only be able TO perform their military duty.
but should DC useful as labourers, that their
military lcyies were made from the country,
from men engaged in the 'cmp!oynicnt OF
hushandry, in preference to the disso!ute and.
proiigatc lounger OF the tcwn---IIe, for one,
had been, for long time surprizea that tho.
government should be paying immense sums,
in all parts Of the Cnitctt States for labour,
whilst the soldiery, which annually draws
millions from our Treasury, arc kept in a
state OF rcrfec, id!cncss, leading TO dep-av-
i,y and 'tlissoluteness Of manncrs-He be.icv-,
ed tha, regular ind Wholesome labour would
no, only have a good effect in preserving the
health Of our soldiers, but it would render
the load of life which they arc.at present
compelled TO bear, less burthensome, and
prevent them from having recourse 70 in,oxi-.
Cation He therefore moved the following
resolution. -
Resoived, That the President of the U.s
States be authorized TO employ the regular
army Of the United States, when not engas-
ed in actual service, aud when in his judg-
ment tho pubick interest will no, thereby be
injured, in The construction OF roads, canalsA
or other works Of PuLliek utility.
Mr. Randolph wished this resolution to lie
on the table; but this was objected to, ariva
debate arose. lin the course of wbcss, the
resolution was amended, by adding the word
io,l6ca,ions," before the word /" roax and
canas," and instead OF taking question on

ELECTION PROsPECTsi

We have the most eneOura ginc
prospects Of success at the ensuing
election. The Peace Tickets, from
all quarters, we understand. will be
supported with the most ardent zeal.
We think there is very little doubt
Of their complete success in Hunter
dor, Gloucester and .ifoumouth. at
the Public Meetings which have
been held. the people have turned
out in great numbers, and every
where manifest firm unanimous de-
termination to appear at the election.
There is a greater spirit s confidence
OF success prevailing in Hunterdoa.
than has been known for mary years
past. When ii is considered, that
at the last realty contested election
there was but m average majority
Of IS votes for the democratic tick
ei, and the great disgust which has
taken place in the county. at the zcdr
the 1car measures and the 7car men,
there is good reson 20 conclude. not
only that the Peace Ticket will be
carried in, but that it will prevail by
a very respectable majority. As to
the selection CT candidates, the ut.
NEST harmony exists. The electors.
one and ali, seem to lose sight Of
all personal or private objections.
If they have am, and lsok only TO
the general good and welfare OF the
country.
From !Sasse.c. from Cumberland,
AMI even from Salem. We have the
most encouraging Information. The
O1posers of the war; are united, yea
lous and warm, in the good cause.
They are daily increasing in strength.
For neace. all The best men Of the
country are becoming more and more
uaiied.
As 10 the old Federal Counties
they are douh'y strong at this peril
Gus and alarming crisis. Cape-.udy
Burlington. SonrrSef. .Hiddi3Scr and
Bergen. will not fail to bring for
ward their fiji strength by entire
tickets for Peace and Prosperity
ami large and respectable majority
OF the Friends Of Peace. in the next
LIE i,iature. will we trust, be the
fruits of the united exertions Of the
good people Of this state at the next
election.

By gentleman from Washington,
kentucky we learn that an act of the
most savage violence was committed in
that town on the 18th September last.
A company of citizens had volunteered
their services, to march as they we're
told, against the Indians. After the ne
ce,sary preparations for the expedition
hadbeen made, they were ordered to Join
the troops under the command of Gen.
Harrison for the purpose of aiding in
the contemplated operations against Ca
nada-Two of the company refused TO
obeythe order, declaring that they were
willing to march against the Indians
the purpose for which they had volun-
tered their services but that they would
not march out OF the y. S. for the pur-
pose OF cttvctlng tie conquest olCsnada,
fell upon them with their swords ard to-
