For Me American. 200,000 MILITIA. In his late message to Congress, president Van Burn declares, "I cannot recommend too strongly to jour consideration the plan, submitted by the Secretary of War, for the
organization of the militia of the United
stales.' hat is this proposed plan, thus highly approved t It provides for the enrolment fall male citizens of the United States between the aces of twenty and forty 6ve

II tins question be answered in the affirma

expressed by General Washington in his r II 1 ....a. . -

Washington presided over the Convention
which formed the Constitution, and had eve ry opportunity to estimate the powers cenfer ed on Congress by that instrumcnt.he declare.

uut.rtitu America, tr.at, "overgrown military establishments, are, under any form of a . s.a . - I
gmeruroem, inauspicious to liberty, and are to be regarded as particularly hostile to re
publican nocrty." But we cannot think this plan of Mr. Toin
sett to be in anywise reconcilable wiin the
Constitution. The latter mikes the militia suhieet
clusively to thef tate authorities except when "called forth to execute the laws of the union
to suppress insurrections and repel invasions." Mr. Poinsett invests the president with abso
lute power to call forth this vast body twice
in a year, lor so many days in each year, to transfer them from a rendevous of his no-
pointrrent, to any place within the district, and to govern this body of freemen during

lhe Constitution could not contemplate such a thing; and it is by forced and remote
construction that tbe executive or its friend
will be able to defend it. And O! this horri
blc doctrine of construction, which is so much
at war with our liberties, when the good o
the nation requires a charter for a National Bank, or an appropriation for removing ob
stacles from some great natural thorough fare'
how admirably convenient is it when the al
grasping arm of Executive Authority wish
eato impose on the people a Jalional Army
which has been reprobated by Washington, or an Independent Treasury, which has- been sanctioned by twenty two of the twenty seven
enlightened and happy despotisms, which Mr
Van Buren in his military and fiscal operations regards with peculiar vcneiation. But if it were proven that the army scheme is truly constitutional, whence arises the necessity for itt Surely it will not be argued that every thing, contemplated in the Constitution, is absolutely necessary to do, that every power vested in Congress must be exercised by that body, or does every proviso contain an impulsive principle which makes it unavoidably necessary to carry it into execution? . We believe that the Constitution confers powers conditionally upon Congress; and the condition is that the exercise of those powers is necessary, and the test of this necessity is the popular voice. Then it becomes the people to consider. If they select Martin Van Buren, they select him with
the army recommendation, which will then have the popular sanction. Where then is the necessity of the army, are we at war with
a foreign nation t Is there an insurrettiona.y
movement in all cur borders? Is it necessa
ry to call out an armed force to aid the exec
utive in putting the laws into execution? No

questions, and however high the wars of par4 ... .
iy irue may rou, we are yet the united descendants of the men of Bunker-IIUI of the patriots of York Town, and are as ready as our forefathers to crush every enemy of our
licences whether he domes in the sl.npe of
lorcign aggression, or in the more dangerous,
wecause secret, lorm ol pretcndcJ friendship. The laws are universally obeyed by a suffering people. Then, I repeat, where Is the necessity of so vast an assemblage of varriors! Is there no danger to be apprehended from the adoption of this second grand naove of the executive? already, if report be true, has the party fust gone forth which binds on the backs
01 an unwilling people the enormous load of
a &ub 1 re.-ioury. Already has the executive completed his first plan; his grarp at the purse, and now to man tain his position, which he finds sanctioned by P.ussia, Auslria &c. he, like those powers, must have at his control 100,000 men disciplined, officered and equiped for war. Should Mr. Van Btircn design no attack on our civil liberties, bv tli Fllhvpr.cinn nf vir
political liberty, he exposes himself to strong
t-uipiauon: men we may not always have a president so disinterested and virtuous as the present incumbent. Heaven only knows the result. Add to the rash official patronage of the Government, the Sub Treasury and its
Keepers; the mlluence or a standing army of
si'ong ana its otucers, and we may well tremble at the vast, overshadowing power of the president. He will cease to be the
servant of the people: with such power in his

1 he pohlicf.1 caldron in this State U bub-
bling hot. Mr Van Buren reasonably concludes that without New York, he is nothing, and here, hence, are his efforts brought to a focus. The battle here will be emphatically a Federal Government battle. The custom
tiousc, if necessary, will be taxed
salary to save the next three. The whole
est, as a t ederal Government concern, will be abandoned to Gen. Harrison, or the fiuht
eft to the local generalissimos, whereas jnon
New York the whole artillery of the Government will be played. Indeed, the battle is to be in N. York, Pennsylvania, fc Virginia; but New York will bear the brunt of it, for New
1 one has the most votes. Ohio will be left to Shannon alone. Indiana is civen un for
Harrison, though hopes are entertained
vain ones though of electintr Howard Gov-
ernor.
Unnuestionablv the local confesla in the
West will be warm, and all that can be done
will be done by the State3 Van Buren men;
but the money, the Treasury'notes, the taxed Government office holders, the tribute, the
pecuniary corruption are reserved for Virgin
ia, Pennsylvania, and'parlicularh New York.
And does not N. ork stand firm? Whei e do y ou see signs f qu.-.iling? When Mr Van
uuren slaked his all last November, and
threw himself personally into the scale, as in his celebrated tour, what more can he hope
for now, but in more money spent and heavier
taxes than ever upon the custom house and
post office? We are prepared for all this in
the reserved power of a mightier caort to a rouse the People by the tongue and the pen
and the Treasury is not rich enough to buy
New lork. In the mean time the farmers arc thinking. The revolution in prices here
as elsewhere leads to a revolution in sentitiment. 1 wish not in the least to disguise the magnitude of the contest, for it will be no boy's play, but New York, rely upon it, is in
vincible. Her trop is the "puarrfa" to close

General Howard at ust. We have' al length had the pler.sue cf hearing Gen. Howaid upon the "stump."' From what we had heard about Mr Howard's powers upon the flump, we were led to expectan extraordinary display of eloquenre . and to have lhe mortification of hearing tht principles of the Whig party c ompletely an-
mnuaieu tins, we say, we w ere led to expect from the estimate his frends put uj on his talents and the talents of his opponent ; but wc confess, with satisfaction, that we were egrc-
grously disappointed. His speech, it is trus
was m character with what has been said of
him by our friends abroad, so far as his soft sadder powers were concerned, and we are
bound in justice to admit that he possesses in a very eminent degree that peculiar kind of talents requisite to tonstitute a man a com
plete demagogue. He has the faculty of flattering the people with their inlrltirence, while
he is treating them in the same manner that a school teacher wculd his pupils, and telling them he is exceedingly honest, candid, and
fond of telling the truth. RusnUle Whig.
