The COMMITTEES on Military Affairs, to
which was referred the Message 9th Presi-
dent Of the u. States on the claim of Nassachu.
sets. for services rendered BY the Militia of
that state during tie late war with Great
Britain, beg leave most respectfully to report
lhat, IN considering the subject submitted
~ their investigation, they have been fully i'm
pressed with its intrinsic Importance, and its
association with events which were once the
occasion OF much sensibiIiiy and excitement.
Ihey trust, however, that they have APP
preached the discussion, devoid of all pre-
jndicr, with an honest desire, in doing ius-
tee. TO sustain those great principles Of con
cord and power, which are essential TO the
durability of this Union
Your Committee deem it entirely unneces-
sary, that they should rrcite all the circum-
stances comprising history ofthis claim, as
they are generally kDDw to the nation, and are
TO he found IN AN authentic shape, in the docu-
ments accompanying the Presidents message
To this source your committee would ask a
| special reference.
II will be sufficient for PRESENT purposes Ia
premise, that large portion Of the claim oil
Massachusetts does not appear to BIZ affected
by those Constitutional difficulties, which SD
long IN The consideration Of the Executive of
the United States, operated as an imped,men,
to its adjustment.
, fourcomDliteea are unanimously of opinion
that tie services rendered by the militia uf Mas
sachusetis, which may be- considered beyond
, all exception, and rs entitled to remuneration
are comprised IN a class Of eases, in which. by
the sp0o,an' Gus impulse of the militia. with
or without the sanction Of the Executive oI
that state, or with or wiihuni requisitiop ON
the part of the officer oflhp u. S. command
ing the Department, they assembled, either
for the purpose at rrpeIling actual INVASION, or
undera well founded apprehension oGinvasion.
II IT, ~ fact, on this principle, and 90 this
principle only, that The claims for militia
! services OF tho various states have been audited
| and allowed at the Department of War
Services OF this description, pairi0iicsIIy PER-
| formed, ought s1t to be prejudiced by pre-
existing difference Of opinion between the
Executive of Massachusetts, and the com
manding 0iligeruf fh, United S ates' forces. as
to an abstract construction Of the constitution.
when such difference gf opinion aupears to
have bad no sort Of effect an the extent and
character Of The services afforded. Bot. ON the
other hand. your committee ARE equally mani
mons in declaring that lin all easrs where the
acts OF the Executive Df MHssaclr,srftx gave ;,
