This may in part be accounted for by the . To remedy the evils of tho present system, it just repugnance of-tho American people lo a has* been repeatedly proposed to rcorganizo the standing military force, which unavoidably cxmiHtia, in such manner as lo reduce the number tends itself to large and protracted encampments of men, who shall be fitted and always ready to even of the militia. Hut the principal difficulty perform tho service contemplated ,by the Consti- has undoubtedly arisen out of the provisions of tution, say from tho number of two millions to the Federal Constitution, relating to tins sub,twc hundred thousand, and to pay the latter .a ject. Uy that instrument, thd power to train * reasonable'compensation oulof the National the militia is reserved by the Stales. To reduce j Treasury, in order to remunerate them for the the number to bo relied bn for ncu’vo.sorvico by increased burden thus imposed upon them, Scv- classification, might easily be done, because, the .

N’or is it believed that ibcv would In general be properly instructed and disciplined, unless they are all called out and. re* reived into the service of the Toiled .States. It this can be conititntiomlly done, the payments tiny ho made mu of the National Treasury. Um t tie Constitution authorizes the Ted era! Governmeitl to call the militia into service in only three enumerated cases, viz: to execute the laws ol tbc Union, suppress insurrection, and repel invasion, Not only is tin; authority to assembh tlicm lor training not granted to Congress, Lnl it is expressly reserved to the .States.'. If, therefore, the right to call out, or to receive the miiith into the service of the United States for such a purpose, be n-soined by the General Goverurnent, it can only ho under the authority to provide tor discipliningUm militia; a construction which, to say the least of it, is extremely doubttiil; tor the same mitence of the Constitution which reserves to tho Suites respt ciivt )y the au* llioriiy of training the militia, directs also that it should be done according to tho discipline prescribed by Congsess, thus excluding, as. it would see in'by necessary inference, the idea, that its authors used the two terms in the Earn*.* sense. Mr. Poinsett eeojns lo have been more sensibly impressed with this obstacle than his predecessors, and endeavors to overcome it by placing his chief reliance on volunteers, end. where drafts arc necessary, lie proposes that they themfd bo made by the .Sliiics Fut'can the constitutional objection be thus avoided! Can Congress appropriate money for objects to which thoir authority docs not extend. 1 A proposition was made several year? since to meet the objection fuliy by amending the Lh.iuthuiion ami giving Congress power to provide for training the militia concurrently with the States, ami suhj et them to tim■ ni'es and regulations to which they arc by law subjected when in the ntiliiiry service of the United Stale?, and to.provide for teaching in tbe-prinwry sdionls and seminaries of, learning throughout the I- tuon, tlio system of disci [time pmcrihed for the militia, ■This proposition does not appear to have found favor cither with Congress or with the people, . ■■ ; . , _ It is but lately that my attention Inis been particularly drawn to this subject, and, as there is no doubt that the. great’men la whom I have alluded contemplated an organization of the militia, and provisions for its better instruction tciniiracinz substantially the pnuomlca contained fn Mr. IVinseU’s plan, it becomcfttiic, in the face of so much apparent authority, t« hesitate before 1 pronounce definitely upon its constitutionality.
