Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That each of the said company of Rangers shall consist of one Captain, one First, one Se cond, and one 'I bird Lieutenant, five rer lieutenant, five er-1 ds, and one hundred pn-! form a battalion, and to geants, five Corporals vates, the w?iole to be commanded bv a M oor.

This act shall take effect, and be inforced, from and after the passage thereof, and be in force for one year, and from thence to the end. of the next session of Congress. Sec. 5. And he it further enacted. That the President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, is hereby authorized to appoint all the ificers proper to be appointed under this iict; the recehs of the Senate, but shall he 'sub-! which appointments may oe maue ciifrinj mitted to the Senate at their next session, fur their advice and consent. Mr. Tipton said I rise, Mr. President, to make a motion of which I g .ve notice yesterday. I am fuliy aware, sir, that the Senate has no desire to listen to discussion upon any subject nor would I now obtrude myself upon their notice, were it not for the deep interest J feel in the passage of the bill which I have had the honor to introduce. But it would be criminal in me to keep my scat in, silence, when the property and livds of those whom I have the honor in pirt to represent on this floor are in jeopady.. The bill proposes to authorise the President of the United States to raise 500 mounted riflemen to protect the north-western frontier this description of troops being better suited to a border warfare than any other. The measure is proposed as well to protect thoseof the Indians who wish to remain fiiendly, as to defend the whites, and to chastise the hostile bands of those savages who hover on our boidcrs. ready to strike a blow whenever the opportunity may offer. It may be objected to, on the ground that we have already an army to protect us. It is true, sir, we have an army of 4.000 men; on fourth of this force is sta tioned on the seaooard, and the remain - der occupy the numerous garrisons item .Maine to Arkansas. We cannot collect them, in a case of emergency, at a given point, in any reasonable time. No man can have greater confidence in the skill and courage of our army than I have none would confide more implicitly in ; r h,..

The Indians are breaking up the settlemeots, and driving in the inhabitants south of them.i and in the neighbourhood .f Galena in the north. Mjve your am y outh, and the Indians fly before them, and iturder at other points, unless our militia ocud the frontier. On the score of economy it is better and cheaper to raise the troop proposed, than to attempt 'o defend the frontier with ni!i:ia. Otis year's pay for this battalion will not amount to 200.000 dollars, hile more than that sum has already been appropriated for this summer's campaign alone, and will probably be insufficient to meet the object If you wish, after the present war is erided, to preserve a permanent peace, it will be indispensably necessary to keep up an armed lorcc, continually patroliiijj upon the border, to prevent the breaking out of the malice of the savage irritated by defeat, and awaiting only an opportunity to wreak his revenge. Indeed, until some change is made in our Indian relations, we will be obliged to support a military force in the neighbourhood. And of all kinds this is the most adapted to the duty required ot it. I will not allow myself to believe that the Senate will count and compare the value of a few dollars with the lives ol their own citizens. Remember, sir, I ask your aid, whilst the blood.of our women, and the blood of our infants is scarcely yet cold upon the ground. In the mtd.t ol our danger and (ustrcss,'we make this appeal to the liberality and justice of Congress, and I do it in the fullest confidence that we will not be denied Sir, were the Union invaded, who more wiliing to rush to the point cf danger than the men of the west? They have poured out thtir blood like water, and will yen not now afford them the aid they roik? Furnish us but the means, and my life tor it, sir, my constituents are fully able to meet any emergency, and to brave any d inger. But you must let us fight under our own officers and in our own way.
