The Richmond Wing says, under this

strong and sensible article which we
commend to the careful consideration Of
our readers. To it we especially invoke

tons worthy Of being seriously pondered
by them, and which, too, should profta-
bly, influence their reflections and their
actions III future. The American q1es-

foreign population. Its principles are in
equal harmony with their interests and

Executive the power OF originating and

exclusively the Army and Navy of the
United States-wiih the militia OF the
