organization OF corps Of volunteers xa
ocered by the States, were TO be trained by the o.
iers OF the regular army This project Of Mr.. Poin-
setts was IN answer TO call Of Linn for plan Of
defence for our Western frontier, and Mr. Matt n
Van Buren, told you that this plan OF Mr.. Poinsett
might be advantageously enlarged into general ar
rangement for the whole Of the United States IL has
been said that Dir. Van Buren, makes this Mr.. Pom
sett the scape goat, ;" on whose head Mr. Van Blu
rens sins are laid. Now Of old, when the sins of an
individual were laid the head Of the go It, he was
banshed into the wilderness, but Mr.. Van Buren,
hugs Ais scape goat but the closer and closer And,
gentlemen, you never send this scape goat to the
wilderness until you send the High Priest with him.
Cloud cries Of " We will do it.")
Gentlemen, you are told that this idea OF stand
ing army Is humbug, aud my old friend, Mr. Silas
Wright OF the County of St Lawrence, Of the State
Of New YORK. the right OF Mr. Van Buren,, tells
you tbs all a humbug, and that the President meant
nothing more than TO relieve you from the savish
DUTY and very burdensome charge Of protecting your
own property and your Liberties, and combining
IL 10 l0ooO0 Janisaries Now, cherished article Of
our Dill OF rights in Virgn:a-and believe il is in
your u Institution too If not, il 10 written in your
hearts, that the best and most natural and most
safe defence Of fee State is in the whole BODY OF
the militia trained 70 arms. But MIR. Van Buren, es
not want the whole body he desires to take 100000
men, from whom he will draw select corps of lOO-
Geo. as Mr. Silas Wright tells you, TO relieve you
from the veyatious and onerous charge Of mastering
10 vlndicaic AND defend your liberties. Yes,
while the mass ofthe militia to be reelected, he
Is 10 take special corps Of 100000 men, no are to
receive the pay Of the United States be train
ed by the officers Of the United States and are 20 be
under a code Of artial law in time of peace This
Is tae explanation Of Mr.. Silas Wright your repub-
lean representative in tho better days Of the Albany
kegency-he tells y~n that the President wants e
dispense with the militia and confne their duties
toa chosen band Of 100 600 Janisaries in time Of
peace. New, my friends, is that Reputlicanism9-
Loud cries Of No, no
appeal to you, and am proud of the opportunity
To- show you the contrast to such doctrines these
which will be found in those held by that great anf
glorious hero, and patriot, and statesman, and demo
cratic general As Richie ofthe Richmond Enquirer
once called him, under whose banner, in November
next, we mean to march in triumph. Great cheer

am proud to have the opportunity to read to you,
in glorious contrast to such anti Republican doc
as tese the opinions Of him-and l safely predict
that in me page ef history none will stand higher as
patriot than William Henry Harri on.
He told you, and il is warning beg you will lay
to your hearts, that the great object and Of mi
lita was not to defend you against foreign, but
gainst domestic usurpation, and he also enuncated
the great truth, that the safety Of the Republic de-
pended rs much on any equal use Of arms
equality Of civil and political rights This opinion
was expressed IN one OF his reports as chairman of
committee Of Congress in 1878 and emanated from
mind deeply imbued with love Of American liber-
~ and profoundly read in all the history Of Repub-
lics both ancient and modern. lie said, nothing is
more dangerous than to cnnfne the military hut
part OF the people for later that part will
govern Now, don't you see the design Of Mr.. Mar
TN an Buren In doing what he proposes to do,-in-
| stead OF doing the Republican Patriot Harrison
would do-do you not see that he would bring these
Janisaries into immediate dependence upon him, that
lac might make them the fit instruments Of his ambi-
tlous designs? and thus is the scheme Of Mr.. Mar
tin Van Buren, which defs nded by Mr. silas Wright
the right arm Il Mr.. Van Buren's democracy. Loud
| cries OF Wen cut of that right army
Yes, my friends, YOU must cut of, not only the
right arm but the left too, and leave nothing but
powerless trunk. (Cheers.)
