qulred many amendments to corr CT verbal and
grammatical errors, and it would consume much
time to act upon these corrections as amendments,

saved by substantially voting upon all these
amendments al once.

THE MILITIA LAW.
The resolution and amendment relating to the
Militia law required, were taken up as special VI
der.
Mr.. Henry, Of Chester, believed that run en-
rollmenl OF the militia Of the State, and provision
made that III" Governor may furnish them with
arms in case of need, is all thai is required. lie
believed that il would be difficult to frame law
by which troops can be brought into TIE field
more quickly than they have been during the last
year.
Mr.. lInckley, Of Chelsea, thought an efficient
i military organization was demanded by The people
OF the State. lie believed there was real need Of
such organization, and referred TO onr foreign re.
atons in support OF his opinions. 1t Was the
part of wisdom 10 be prepared for any emergen-
cy. He thought the question OF expense OF inn
portance, but believed that the best interests Of
the State demanded any necessary outlay for an
eiic enl military organization.
MIR. Barrett, OF Grafton, thought it important TO
u have arms in the State that coulu be appropriated
) in case of need. lie could not fully agree with
the gentleman from Chester (lltnly) that it
D would perhaps be sale TO rely upon t General
d Government for arms. lie hoped the amend-
+ mtnt would not be adopted, but that the ques-
lion would recur upon The original resolution, as
y offered by the gentleman from Fairfax, (HubbeL)
The question was then taken upon adopting the
