and it Keen my en tenvor to carry them into lull and fair effeet in the administration of the govern- meni, amce I have brrn at Ms head. Ii they have been departed Irom, in respect io any works com. menced my administration, I am not advised 1 In conclusion, you ask me, I approve of Mr Poinsett's scheme for ihe organization ot the My knowledge of military affairs is very limited but I will nevertheless give you such views as I have able 10 take of the subject ol your inquiry. The Constitution ol the United States authorizes Congress to provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the tnditia, and for governing them when in the service oi the United to the States the appointment ot officers, and the authority to train the militia, according to the mode of discipline prescribed by Congress. In execution of this grant of power, Congress, during the administration of General Washington, and upon his recommendation, passed a law for the organization of the militia of the United States.

By I bis act, it is provided, first, that every free white citizen of the United States, resident therein, between the ages ol fifteen and loriy- five, (with some enumerated exceptions.) are to be enrolled and divided by the several Stales into companies, battalions, regiments, brigades, and divisions, upon principles therein established, in like man- ncr, officered by them, according to the rules prescribed by Congress for determining their number and respective rank 2d. That the militia thus enrolled shall be armed at their own expense. 3d. That they shall be disciplined according to the rules approved and established by Congress, on the 29ih of March, 1779; and 4th. That the rules for the government of the militia when called into service of the United States, (the manner and occasions of doing which being pointed out by law,) shall be the same rules and articles of war as are provided for the government of the troops of the United States.

The provisions of the act of 1792, which obliges every citizen duly enrolled to be provided with arms, accoutrements, and was re-enacted during the administration of Mr Jeffer-on, and so much of that act as established the discipline and regulations of Baron Steuben was subsequently repealed, and the system of discipline and exercises of the regular nrmy was adopted for the militia. These additional provisions, with occasional acts respecting the appointment of officers by the Slates, and changing the regulations concerning the pay and subsistence of the militia, when in the actual service of the United States, and the preparation and distribution of a system of tactics, constitute every material part ol the legislation of Congress upon the subject of the militia since the establishment of the government. The organization of the militia thus established, has besn in force nearly fifty years. It varies in many essential particulars from that recommended by General Washington, and has been regarded ever since its adoption, as defective in an eminent degree, as well by the successive Presidents of the United Slates, as by all other persons, whose habits of lile and opportunities of personal observation have fitted them to form sound opinions upon the subject. Its improvement was therefore an object of unceasing and anxious solicitude on the pari of General Washington, and almost every successive President commenced his career with calling the attention of Congress to the subject, and closed it with expressions of regret that these recommendations had proved unavailing.

General when Secretary of War, stated, in an official report, that this subject had been presented for consideration no less than thirty-one limes in official Executive communications, commencing with the inaugural address of President Washington. The principal objections to the present system appear to arise from the great and unnecssary extent of the enrolment of the militia held to actual service, and who are required to muster and do duty actrtain number of days in the year, and from the want of adequate means or inducements to secure a proper instruction by reason of which this heavy tax is not only rendered in a great degree useless, but is also unreasonably burdensome. By the Federal Constitution, Congress has the power to provide for calling forth the militia toexecute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrection and repel invasion. The militia force provided for these purposes, by existing laws, and which, to render it effective, iscompelled to be at ail times provided with arms, accoutrements and ammunition, and to be mustered and drilled at stated and kept always ready for service, comprises, with limited and enumerated exemptions, the whole of the able-bodied male white population of the United States, between the ages of eighteen and forty-five. When it is considered that the number of these, according to official a million and a half of men, and probably, at this period, amounts to two millions, the immense and consequently oppressive excess of the existing preparatory enrolment, beyond the possible wants of the country, must be apparent to all.

How far the existing organization and laws passel by the States tn pursuance thereof have proved successful in accomplishing the great object in view? viz the instruction and improvement of citizen soldiers in military tactics, you are able to judge for Tho tttPTA cKnrt summed up by the officer before alluded to, in these emphatic words is vain to expect that the whole adult population of the country can, or will furnish themselves with the articles required by law or that their collection, for any number of days they can afford to devote to this object, and under the usual circumstances of such assemblages, can produce any beneficial effects to themselves or their country. Already, in a number of the States, the system has sunk under the weight of public opinion, and the practical question now is, whether we shall remain fact defenceless, or resort to a large standing military force in time of peace, that just dread of all free Governments, or adopt an efficient plan, which will prepare for the public defence the greatest force at the least cost, and without danger. To remedy the evils of the present system, it has been repeatedly proposed to reorganize the militia, in such manner as to reduce the number ot men who shall be fitted ami always ready to perform the service contemplated by the Constitution, say from the number of two millions to two hundred thousand, and to pay the latter a reasonable compensation out of the National Treasury, in order to remunerate them for the increased burden thus imposed upon them. Several plans to effect this purpose, have from time to time, been submitted to Congress, by successive Secretaries of War, commencing with General in 1790, and ending with that of Mr Poinsett, in 1840. That Mr is, in many preferable to those which have preceded it, and is calculated to effect a more equitable disposition of the whole military force of the country than any heretofore presented, apppears to have been the opinion of the committees of both Houses of Congas.

The grounds of this preference are fully set forth in the able reports made by their respective chairmen, at the last session, which have been published, and exten'ively circulated, and are stated as follows 1st. It extends the pay, for the period occupied in training, to privates as well as to commissioned and non-commissioned officers, tw whom it was limited in the plans of others. 2d. It introduces the principle of rotation, by which the period during which the citizens are engaged in training is diminished, and the instruction they receive more directly imparted to the mass, and the burdens, as well as benefits, more equally distributed among the people 3d. in excluding trom enrolment all between 18 and 20 years of age, being the period of life in which young inen are employed in finishing their education, learn- a trade, or studying the profession by which they hope to obtain a livelihood.

In these preferences, I concur. In all other respects the different plans are understood to be substantially the same. They are so with regard to the authority of the officers over the privates, and the rules lor the government of all when called out for drill. They all propose that the rules should be those established for the government of the army. The existing law applies those rules to the nnlitia, when called into tlie service of the United States and has done so lor many years past.

Mr plan does not add a singie penalty or new provision. Tnere certainly exists to some extent a prejudice in the public mind against the application of the same rigor in the discipline of citizen soldiers, who are only called out for short periods of service, as that hich is applied by all nations to those who make arms a profession It will be for Cungress to decide, aided by the opinions of experienced military men, whether the discipline of the militia, when called into the service of the United States, will admit of any relaxation. No one appears yet to have thought so. The rule by which Congress should be governed, in my opinion, is to confer as much authority as is necessary to subordination and improvement, and to adapt the regulations as far as practicable to the character of the force, and the feelings and habits of our people. Tnc different plans are also alike in requiring the militia to arm itself It is true, Mr Poinsett contemplates the establishment of depots of arms and ammunition at the expense of the federal government, near the places where the militia are to muster for training but, like all his predecessors, he proposes to leave in force the present law, which makes it the duty of every enrolled citizen to be constantly supplied with arms, accutrements, and ammunition, at his otn expense.

Tins law, it will be remembered, was passed under the administration of Gen Wa-h- and was re-enacted under that of Mr Jefferson. Regarded as an indication of the principles of our Government, which confides the protection of the liberties of the country and the maintenance ot public order to the hands of the free citizens of the Republic, it was honotable to our legislation, and stands in beautiful contrast with the institutions of other countries by which the people, so far from being compelled to have arms, are denied the right to posse them, and deprived of their use. But the utter inefficiency of this provision of the law to induce the people to arm theimelves properly has been fully demonstrated It is vain to expect, says Governor in the report before cited, the whole adult male population of the country can, or will, furnish themselves with the articles required Whenever a military pride i excited, as is the case with volunteer associations, the law is obeyed but it cannot. it appears to me. be carried into execution with the mass of the militia without a more rigorous exercise of authority on the part of the Government than is consistent with the spirit of our institutions Mr ptan proposed to establish depots of arms the several States at the public expense, to 1-s used when training, or in actual service by the militia selected lor duty, and as it was not contemplated to muster the rest of the for discipline, my judgment be well worthy serious consideration, whether a repeal of provision the law which requires the militia arm at their own expense, leaving it to be so provided or not; and the distribution the full extent that may be necessary militia when called into active service, ought consulate a part of any for the reorganization of the militia, by which a portion of them are to be instructed at the expense of the rest.

i he inclination of my own mind would be decidedly favor of snch a course. The light in which the existing law, requiring all who are enrolled to arm themselves, is regarded, may be gathered from the fact, thnl men ol good standing intelligence in the country, have either been so ignorant of its existence themselves, or have counted so largely on the ignorance of their fellow' citizens, as to charge Mr Poinsett with an attempt to originate the measure, when, in truth, he only transferred it to his plan from the statute-book, where it has stood for forty-seven years. But, in my opinion, the difficulties which beset this subject, lie deeper than this. You have seen that the committees of Congress have reported against a reorganization of the militia upon the principle of classification, and that they have been virtually sustained in their objections by their respective Houses. You have seen, also, that plans embracing the same principle have been recommended in vain for the last half century by Washington, Jefferson, Madisi Monroe, and men who have always commanded the respect of Congress, and whose measures seldom failed to receive its support This may be in part accounted for by the just repugnance ol the American ppople to a standing military force, which unavoidably extends itself to large and protracted encampments even of the militia.

But the principal difficulty has undoubtedly arisen out ol the of the Federal Constitution, relating to this subject. By that instrument, the power to train the militia is reserved to the States. To reduce the number to be relied upon for active service by classification, might easily be done, because the right to organize is given to Congress by the Constitution but the desired efficiency would not be secured, unless that number were belter trained: and to that end it is requisite that they should be kept together for longer periods of time than is now practised. To do this without manilest injustice, provision must be made lor their payment. Nor is it believed thai they would in general be properly instructed and disciplined, unless they were all called out and received into the service of the United States.

If this can be constitutionally done, the payments may be made out of the national treasury. But the Constitution authorizes the Fedtral Government to call the nnlitia into service in only three enumerated cases, viz to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrection, and repel invasion. Not only is the authority to ble them for training not granted to Congress, hut it is expressly reserved to the States. If, therefore, the right to call out, or to receive the militia into the service of the United States for snch a purpose, be assumed by (he General Government, it can onlv be under the authority to provide tor disciplining the militia a construction which, to say the least of it, is extremely doubtful; for the same sentence ot the Constitution which reserves to the States respectively the authority of tiuimhg the militia, direc's also that it should be done according to the discipline prescribed by Congress, thus excluding, as if would seem by necessary inference the idea that its authors used the two terms in the same sense. Mr Poinsett seems to have been more sensibly impressed with this obstacle than his predecessors and endeavors to overcome it by placing his chief reliance on volunteers, and where drafts are neces sary, he proposes that they should be made by the States themselves.

But can the constitutional jection be thus avoided? Can Congress appropriate money lor objects to which their authority does not extend A proposition was made several years since to meet the objection fully by amending the Consiitu tion and giving Congress power to provide for training the militia concurrently with the States and to subject them to the rules and regulations to which they are by law subjected when in the military service of the United States and to provide for teaching in the primary schools and seminaries of learning throughout the Union, the system of discipline prescribed for the militia. This proposition does not appear to have found favor either with Congress or with the people. It is but lately that my attention has been par ticulariy drawn to this subject, and, as there is no doubt that the great men to whom I have alluded contemplated an organization of the militia, and provisions for its better instruction, embracing substantially the principles contained in Mr plan, it becomes me, in the face of so much appa rent authority, to hesitate before I pronounce definitely upon its constitutionality. I shall, I am confident, in the opinion of all candid minds, best per- lorm my duty by refraining to do so, umil it becomes necesssary to act officially in the matter. In the mean time, I will content myseif with saying, iMat the inclination of my rnind is, that the desired measure cannot be safely accomplished, in the form proposed, under the Federal Constitution as it stands.

Having thus given you the best opinions that I have been able to ferm of the important subjects to which you have called my attention, you will, I hope, allow me to notice briefly one or two collateral considerations. Mr nncontroverted account of the origin and progress of hts plan is before you. He shows that it grew out of the request made of him by the committee on the militia of the House of Representatives, at the close of the session before the last, in contemplation of a possible collision between this country and Great Britain, and that it was matured and drawn forth under a call made upon him by the House at the last session. Some surprise has been expressed, and doubts appear even to be entertained of the correctness of his declaration, that the plan was not seen by me, or submitted to my considera tion, before it was communicated to Congress. Those who take this view of the subject, entirely overlook the fact, that such is almost invariably the case on all similar occasions; and that in replying to calls made upon them by either bratich of the Legislature, the heads of departments act for Congress, and not for the President; except only on occasions where his acts are brought in question.

The impractica bility of pursuing a different course, if even it were otherwise desirable, will be appreciated, when it is considered how very numerous these calls have recently been, amounting as they have done to two hundred and twenty at a single session, independently of those made on the President himself, and of letters from committees, requiring great research, and the preparation of voluminous documents. Un- fin as these animadversions are thus shown to be, this has not been even the worst aspect in which they have been presented. We have been compelled to see, not, I should think, without shame and mortification on the part of every ingenuous mind, whatever my be his political preferences, the names of respectable citizens subscribed to statements, that 1 had in my annual message expressed my approbation of a plan, which not only never had been submitted to me, but was not even matured until more than three months alter the message was sent to Congress; and an attempt to prove the unfounded assumption by the publication of a garbled extract from that document, with its true meaning falsified by the suppression of a material part. Nor was the avowed object of these extraordinary proceedings less remarkable than the acts themselves, being nothing less than an attempt to fix upon me the design of establishing a standing army of hundred thousand men, for political and personal purposes. If I had been Charged with the design of establishing among you, at the public expense, a menagerie of two hundred thousand wild beasts, it would not have surprised me more, nor woul i it, in my judgment, have been one jot more preposterous.

I am, fortunately, gentlemen, not over-sensitive to attacks of this character, and have withal, an abiding confidence in the intelligence of the people, which renders them proof against all such attempts to deceive them. If I understand my own feelings, my chief regret in witnessing such degrading exhibitions, arises from a consideration of the opinion which foreigners, who have not the same reasons to respect our political institutions that we have, are likely to form of the character of our they see that conspicuous men among us can promise themselves any advantages from attempts to delude heir fellow citizens, by means of such monstrous absurdities. This regret is. however, I confess, materially diminished, by the conviction that the people will in the sequel, as they have heretofore done, convince those who attempt in this manner to operate upon their credulity, of the folly of seeking to accomplish, in this country, political objects by such discreditable means. I have the honor to be, gentlemen, Verv respectfully, Your obedient servant, M.

Missouri election took place on the 3d and 4th inst. It is for Governor and Lt. Governor, (two) members of the r.ext Congress, and members of the Legislature.

John B. Clark is the whig candidate lor Governor, and Mr Reynolds the intimidate. The whig camliclaies tor Congress are Edward M. Samuel and George C. Sibley the democratic candidates are John Miller and Edwards.

The whole vote of St. Louis County gives 2265 for Clark (whig) and 1496 for Edwards. Whig majority 769. In 1838, the whig majority was over 800. Before the election the whigs claimed a majority in St.

Louis County of from 1000 to 1500. Kentucky Baltimore Patriot (whig) gives returns from 49 counties in this state, which show a whig majority of 13,291. North Carolina have been received from one or two more of the counties which voted early in the month, says the N. Y. Lenoir Columbus.

In two of these there have been gains by the democracy. In Lenoir, Windal Davis, the democratic candidate is majority noigiven. In Lenoir and Greene, James Whitfield, the democratic senator, has beaten his competitor by ten or twelve votes. J-ast year, this district was represented by a whig. In Columbus, Powell, democrat, has succeeded over Maultsby, whig, by a majority 16, which is a whig loss.

The vote for senator in the same county was. Melvin, democrat, 227; Owen, whig, 162 The whigs lost a senator in Craven by eighteen votes. Col. Eiheridge, the democratic senator in Canulen and Currituck, according to the Norfolk Herald, is elected by a majority of three votes. The counties of Bladen and Brunswick are yet to be heard from.

Alabama In Talnpoosa county, according to the Montgomery Advertiser, the democratic candidate for the lower house is elected also two in Talladega county, and two in Pike. Total, forty wings, and ten democrats. Most of the counties to heard from will elect democrats. An extra from the office of the Montgomery Ad- veriiser, of the 7th inst, says We are now able to lay before our readers the political complexion of the Senate of Alabama, and hope, by the next mail, to furnish them with that of the House of Representatives. The Senate, including those elected this year, stands nineteen democrats to fourteen whigs, giving us a majority in that body of five.

We believe that we shall also retain a majority tn the House of Representatives; and as for the popular vote, me have no question but that it is iriih us. Lawrence county, the strong hold of Harrisontsm in North Alabama, has been heard trom, and iht democrats are about 130 votes ahead. We make no bluster, but rely on the justice of our cause. Our friends may rest assured of success November next Correspoodmr of the Boston Morning Post. Indianapolis, August 1840.

In addition to the above, we have full returns from La Salle, which show that the democratic ticket is elected by 493 majority. Winnebago has elected the whig ticket by an average majority of 340 votes. Tins has always been a whig county. In Warren district, sufficient returns have been received to show' that the whig ticket is elected by the same vote it was last. year.

Boon County has given four majority for the whigs. Last year the democrats had a majority of four votes. The Chicago Democrat says of this defeat has come in season to raise a democratic majority of fifty in A few towns in Fulton County have been received, and there was a report that the whig ticket had been defeated. If so, it is a democratic gain. In Gallatin county, the democratic ticket is elected by a majority of three to one.

Last year Gallatin sent two whigs. The news from While County is very cheering, and hopes are entertained of the success ot the democratic ticket. St Clair has done ncbly, having elected the entire democratic ticket by a greatly increased The vote on Senator stands, Van Buren 1739, whig majority 831. The majority on the representative ticket is about the same. In 1838 the democratic majority in this county was only 244.

Indiana returns' from sixty-six counties of this State, published in our paper of Saturday, snowed a whig majority of 9,614. To these are to be added the returns since recetved, as follows 1840. 1836. Howard. Bigger.

12 This morningrafiout 3 the great mail from the west was robbed at the village of Le Roy, at the stage house, while the driver was changing coach and horses. He had thrown off the mail bags near the door, and while he was absent, one of the bags was taken being left. The bag taken was one put up at Buffalo for New York. It was found about half a mile ftom where it was taken, cut open but containing probably all the newspapers and a few letters. Some 40 rods distant, another parcel of letters was found, and in another in the vicinity another some remained unopened, Dm principal part were torn open and mutilated.

On being apprised of the transaction, I immediately went to Le Roy, and have spent the day in assisting the Post Master. Among the letters found, was one from George Smith Ac Co Chicago, to Strachan Ac Scott, Wall street, New York, purporiing to enclose a protested draft for $515 and $200 in U. S. Bank bills. We found the draft, but the money was gone Another iettcr was from G.

W. Turner, Cashier of the Branch Bank of Illinois at Galena, to F. W. Edwards, Cashier, New York, enclosing a Post Office draft for $468 98, and a draft on the Bank, Boston, for $1300. The Post Office draft was found, the bank draft not found.

Another letter from Geo. Smith Ac Chicago, to Strachan Ac Scott. N. containing two drafts $604 75, both found. The robber has not yet been discovered.

A reward is offered. Le Roy. Aug 12,1840. I have succeeded in recovering a portion of the mail, verv badly torn to pieces. 1 shall not be aide to send it on before to-morrow.

I have not yet been able to determine that anything of value has been obtained by the robber, except $200 in U. S. Bank bills, a draft, of $1300, and $600 to $700, Doth which last will probably be of no use. IMPORTS. LIVERPOOL.
