POINSETT'S PREvARICATION ABOUT
THE STANDING ARMY.

Mr.. Poinsett. in his letter 10 the editor of the
ENQUIRER, says that his scheme contemplates
that: ''the militia mustered for training, 10
be assembled in the neighborho0d Of depots OF
arms to be established for the purpose, each
battalion icithin lis onn State, and as nearly
as practicable in the centre OF its district. II
recommends the battalion formation, as con-
fessedly the best adapted for instruction. II
contemplates drming the militia thus selected
pih arms, 10 be furnished and kept constantly
in good order by The Gopernmenf.o
Now, TO see how far the Honorable Secretary
has departed from the truth, we have only to
look TO his detailed plan as submitted TO Con-
gress. The 18th section divides the "Tenito-
nv of the United States" into ten military dis
tricts. The 9Th district is composed of Vir-
ginia, District of Columbia, Maryland and De
laware. The 18th section provides that ''the
President Of the United States be authorized To
call forth and assemble such numbers of the
ACTIVE force Of the militia, at such places irth-
in their respective districts, and at such times,
not exceeding twice, nor days in the same
year, as he may deem necessary
Mark the difference: The bill says "pihua
their respectire DLSIRICI'S." The letter
saws I" tpithin us oBn .Staten Here is fiat
contradiction between the bill and letter.
Again, in the 18th section provision is made
for the forces Of flco or more districts doing
duty together. Hear him:
s.When the battalion of fpo or more districts
of the active or sedentary force do duty together,
they shall take rank according to the number OF
their respective districts, &c.
But the letter says his plan did not contem-
plate making the militia arm themselves. See
the bill for contradiction.
The first Section provides
'sThat every citizen enrolled and notified,
shall within three months thereafter, provide
himself with good musket, bore of capacity to
receive lead ball of eighteen in the pound a
sufficient bayonet and belt; two spare fints
knapsack, cartridge box, TO contain at least "a
cartridges suited to the bore Of his musket, and
each cartridge TO contain ball and three buck
shot, and sufficient quantity of powder; or
with good rifle, knapsack, shot-pouch, and
horn or flask, with sufficient powder and ball for
"a charges, and two spare fiints; and that he
shall appear so armed, accoutred and provided,
when called out for exercise or into service; and
every citizen so enrolled and providing himself
with the arms, ammunition and accoutrements,
required as aforesaid, shall hold the same ex-
empted from all suits, distresses, executions, OF
sales Of debt, or for the payment Of taxes"
