should hold on this project with such

He then endeavoredf to excite the Gu
riosity ofthe people by giving his views
on the banking system, in the broadest
sense of the term. He proposed no in

This Col. Christie, is the head and
leader Of the Nati5e American Society

President of said society, and so hostile
is he to all foreigners in our country, that
he declared in a speech before his soci-
ty "thnthe tOouId fouow the foreigners
TO hell to eTter@iaate hem." If Col.
Christie, or any of his friends deny this,
we will prove 1t.

ORGANIZATION OF THE MILITIA

Mr.. PoINsETT'S plan, that of General
HARRISON, and the old law approved by
General WASHINGTON, provide that eve
ry citizen of a certain age shall be en-
rolled, and shall arm and equip himself
at his own expense. Mr.. Poinsett ex-
cludes all under twenty and over forty
five years of age; Harrison includes all
between eighteen and sixty. The exemp-
tons from militia duty, on the score of
employments, embrace the same per-
sons in each plan.
The three plans provide for training
the militia within their respective States
The division into military districts by Mr..
Poinsett being intended for the organlza-
ton of larger and more effective force
in cases Of invasion or insurrecton.-
Mr., Poinsett and General Harrison both
propose depots of arms within the States.
Mr.. Poinsett proposes that the officers
of the militia should be appointed in
such manner as the Legislatures of the
several States shall direct, and that the
militia shall be called out through the Go
vernors of the States. General Harri-
son repudiates all connection with or de-
pendence upon the States, and provides
that the President shall in all cases ad-
drsss his orders directly to the officers of
the militia.
Mr.. Poinsett proposes to subject the
militia, called out for training, to such
regulations as the President may think
proper to adopt for their Instruction, dis
cipline, and improvement in military
knowledge. Gen. Harrison proposes 10
adopt, for the government of the militia,
the same rules of service and the same
system of discipline and police, as are or
may be adopted for that Of the army of
the United States; and both, as well as
the old law, subject the militia to the
rules and articles of war when call
ed out by the President of the United
States: but Mr.. Poinsett proposes TO pro.
tect the militia by provid ling that they
shall be tried exclusively by their own
officers.
