IN SENATE. V" . Monday, Decu 191 , . J. Duties on Tea; . , Mr. Chxr said, that understanding

a report had been made by the commit, tee of Ways and Means ' the sub

ject of reducing the duties on Tea ad-

report should remain: on the table or bt acted on. ! Entertaiain' vet At

ferent views from those which he tin-

derstood to be expressed in the report,

ne was aesirous . mat tne question of the repeal of ?the duty on Tea should be fully and early considered by tha Senate, This was due to the merchant to the consumer, and to the important interests of the country, n would, therefore ask whether it was intended that the report should, by refe rence te ' a' committee of the Whole, or in any otiier maaner, he brought be4 fore the consideration of the Senate, that there may be some general expression ot the sentiments of the whole ' body, on the subject. v , Mr. Smith, Chairman spoke a feW wbrdl in repl rj but in a tone so low as) to be inaudible in the Reporters alle ry.-:.-. r is . . . THE MILITIAi

The following resolution strbsaitte j

on Thursday last by Mr. IUnna, waa taken up: ' ,

tiesolveL That the committee on th4

Militia be Instructed to inquire into the expediency of an organisation of the Militia, soch as will embrace those

only between the ages of tweaty-one and thirty-five; and also ef increasing . A. j t' : a? ' r .

iao annual appropnanon tor arming the Militia of the United States.

Mr. Foot moved .to amend the res

olution by striking out the word an and inserting the words "si re-organization." ' , . .

Mr. Hanka replied, that his obi ect

was not to limit the enquiry of the committee, but rather to impart to it all possible light and information on the subject His sole, object in submitting;

tne resolution was to reduce the enrollment of the Militia, and raise the appropriation to provide arms in such a manner as at once to afford an effective Militia force. He would, however, accept the amendment of the Seoa -tor from Connecticut. - Mr.' Poindexter observed that he was not apprised of any organization

ot the Militia by vongi ess. ,He there

fore thought the word re-organizatioo -would be improper. Mr. Hajijia would state to the Senator in Mississippi, ' that there was aqi Act of Congress which purported to be an act organizing the Militia of the United States, and referred to the Act of 1806. It was on account of the requisitions of that Act he had offered the resolution in question. That Act was in itself a nullity, because it required of the Militia of the United States an impossibility. , It required them to provide their own aru, and torppear on days of training" with proper equip- : meht. Now, i f all tb arms in the U- ; nited States, both public and private were put into the hand of the Militia they would hot all be" sapplied. According to the last return of the Militia their numbers were upwards of One million and sixty thousand, but some States had not made returns of their strength since 1820. . At the present time it would be absurd to suppose that the militia, according to their hew organization .would amount to twp milliens The service of a militiaman .under the existing regulation is 27 yearsUnder that which he proposed,' the term of service would be onl 14 yearsThen, if Congress should think proper to organize the militia according to the above1 proposed plaif,nd the appropriation be raised to four instead of two hundred thousand dollars, we might reasonably hope for an efficient militia in a reasonable time, besides the great , saving of time which that organisation -would afford to those left out of the new enrollment. Ma. Foot withdrew his motion to amend, and the resolution was adopt ed. ti . - ' o;;;:t;;;o - ,
