Mr. Poinsett’s Letter.
This able document, explaining the provisions of the
plan projiosed by him for re-organizing the militia,
and giving his reasons forits introduction, will be found
on our first page ; also, a comparison of Mr. Poinsett's
and Gen. Harrison's schemes for organizing the mili
tia; and other articles on the same subject, to which
the serious attention of the reader is invited.
The “ Standing Army.”
Under this imposing caption, our Whig editorial
brethren arc wont to regale their readers with dire
ful accounts of anticipated destruction to their lib
erties, to be inflicted by the people upon themselves,
through the agency of military organization. They
arc told that Mr. Van Burcn wishes to have them
enrolled, organized, armed and drilled, all in order
that they may be the better able to male themselves
his slaves in the most scientific military manner pos
sible. It docs not seem to these editors, that an
armed and disciplined mililia, themselves interested
in the preservation of their own liberties and com
mon welfare, and possessing intelligence enough to
know when their rights arc attempted to be invaded,
arc as competent to maintain those rights, as well
against domestic as foreign aggression, as they would
be if deprived of arms, ami discipline, and military
organization. By what process of reasoning their
conclusions arc arrived at, they do not deign to in
form us; but like most other Whig arguments, they
seem to he based upon tbc ignorance and stupidity
of the mass. Entertaining, as we do, a better opin
ion of the virtue, intelligence and patriotism of the
people, wc have been slow to apprehend danger
from causes like these; but, on the contrary, have
supposed, that any system for strengthening our na
tional means of defenco, which is confided to the
whole jicojilc for execution, controlled as it must be
by the constitution, the laws, the moral sense, and
the personal interests of our citizens, would be equal
ly efficient in strengthening ns against the ambitious
designs of our rulers. For these reasons we have
articles! Were notour brave and patriotic volunteer
citizen soldiers, who removed the Creeks and Chero-
kces, and who have battled with tho Seminolcs, gov
erned by the rules and articles of war! Did they lose
their liberty ? That some rules are necessary all ad
mit, and if those now in operation are wrong, they
should be altered. Neither Mr. Van Burcn nor Mr.
Poinsett made them, nor wouki either of them object
to their amendment.
The truth is, that instead of creating a standing ar
my, the object and tendency of Mr. Poinsett's plan
were to lessen the number of regular troops now em
ployed—to reduce the standing army already in ex
istence. He gave it at the request of Congress, ex
pressing only his individual views, for which, be they
good or bad, no one but himself is responsible. It
was no party measure, although our Southern Whigs
have endeavored to make it such; but when it was
first proposed, was spoken of by the leading journals
of both parties in terms of the highest approbation.
If there are objections to it, there are many more to
the scheme of Gen. Harrison, who wished to bring
our children up, educated in military style at the pub
lic expense, imbil >ing from their infancy a taste for mil
itary splendor and glory, destructive to plain, republi
can simplicity.
If our opponents are really afraid of Mr. Poinsett's
scheme, much more should they fear that of Gen. Har
rison ; for instead of issuing orders through the Gov
ernors of the States, as is now the law and as Mr. Poin
sett desires it to continue, (fen. Harrison wishes to
sec the President clothed with power to call out the
mililia through officers responsible to him for their
conduct; and he has introduced into his system, other
principles at war with republican institutions and the
sovereignty of the States. Real State Rights men
will beware of him—true Republicans will give him
their united and zealous opposition.
in such cases we should be very cautious how
we hold dp any officer before the public, as
Wanting in faithfulness, until alt the facts
arc known. The night was very calm, or
probably there would have been lives lost.

my, as scarcely worthy of serious notice, and have
not even been able to entertain a generous confi
dence” in the purity of the motives of those who
have been most active in raising it.
The system proposed by the Secretary of War, is
represented as oppressive, unconstitutional and dan
gerous. We believe, that in consequence of the mi
gratory habits of our people, it might have proved im-
1 radical le, had ('ongress adopted it; hut as wc have
stated above, we sen nothing alarming in its provisions
What is ihc substance of the recommendation, and
with wliat view was it made ! It contemplates abolish
ing our present system of miliiin musters, which have
been found so ruinous to the property and morals of
those who engage in them. We say abolishing our
present system, because wc suppose that the ten days’
muster contemplated by the bill, would be regarded
by the States as sufficient for that purpose. The bill
proposes to organize about lot),000 men to i>crforni
this duty four years, after which they remain in a re
serve class four years, and arc then no more liable to
militia duty of any kind, except when the country is
invaded. Of this 100,000 men, Georgia is to furnish
2,800, or an average of 30 men from each county
Now let us look at the oppressiveness of the system
Under present laws, the WHOLE MILITIA of the
State is liable to be called out eight or nine times in
the year, and to pay their own expenses ; and this they
must do from the age of 18 to 45, a period of 27 years
Instead of which, Mr. Poinsett’s plan requires about
THIRTY from each county to muster oner, and not
more than twice, for a perod of ten days, at the expense
of the Government; and this they cease to do after lour
years. Contrast these systems. See which is mast
oppressive, the subjection of all able bodied men to
military duty 27 years, or 30 out of each county for
four years; to which add four years more in which they
arc held as a reserve class; but unless in cases ofemer-
gcncy, never to be called out. If to call out 2,800
men ten days, and pay them for their services, is more
onerous than to call out 70,000 men, or the whole mi
litta of the State, eight or nine days, they paying their
own exj>enses, and getting nothing for their time, then
is Mr. Poinsett’s plan oppressive—if not, then this
charge is only another of the Whig humbugs of the
day.
But our opponents say the bill is unconstitutional
because the 17th article authorizes the President to
assemble the active class of each District, (and a Dis
trict embraces two or three States,) at such places as
he may think proper. The Secretary’s explanation
satisfactory on this point. He says it was the inten
tion “to assemble such militia at convenient points
tcithin each State, and in the vicinity of depots of arms,
which it is proposed to estahlish as part of the system.
He was not ignorant of the Constitutional restriction
on this subject, but supposed that in a spirit of fairness,
such interpretation would be given to the article,
the Constitution would authorize.
Regarding the danger to be apprehended, we think
the view given in the commencement of this article,
should bo sufficient. But, says an alarmist, “this
force when in service, is subject to the rules and arti
cles of war, and its members are liable to severe pun-
Thc Poor Man’s Candidate.
The Federal Whigs are laboring zealously to prove
that their candidate is the friend of the poor. He
lives in a log cabin, they say, drinks hard cider, and
sometimes follows the plough—hence he i3 the
friend of the poor, and therefore possesses every re
quisite qualification for the Presidency. Now, if the
talc about Gen. Harrison's poverty were true, we do
not see how that should entitle him to the Presidency
—wc have thousands of poor men in our country, who
live in log cabins and work harder than the General
ever did; but they cannot all be Presidents, and would
spurn the idea that these were the only qualifications
necessary for that office. But the statements are not
true. Gen. Harrison lives in a style of luxurious ele
gance. His house is commodious: bis plantation is
large and productive ; and his log cabins arc occupied
by his numerous tenantry. He has no negro slaves—
his servants and dependants are poor white men and wo
men. These are facts which cannot be controverted.
What claim he has to be called the poor man's friend,
has been often shown. It may be found in his sanc
tion of a law passed in Indiana, to SELL his unfortu
nate fellow citizens, who were too poor to pay a fine
costs of court, imposed for any venial infraction of
the laws. It may also be seen in his attempt to have
similar law enacted in Ohio. Our Whig opponents
attempt to deny these charges, but they are so well es
tablished by authentic testimony, that they cannot be
ccessfully denied or evaded. A certified copy of
the Indiana law, accompanied hv some forcible and con
clusive remarks of the Globe, will be found in another
column; and the resolutions for which he voted in
Ohio, arc appended. Comment is unnecessary. Let
the people read and judge for themselves.
Extract from the Journal of the Senate of Ohio,dated,
Tuesday, January 30, 1821.
“Senate met, pursuant to adjournment.
“ Senate then, according to the order of the day, re
solved into a committee of the Whole on tho bill from
the House entitled “ An act for the punishment of cer
tain offences therein named,” and after some time
spent therein, the Speakci [Allen Trimble] resumed
the chair.
“Mr. Fithian then moved to strike out the 18th
section of said bill, as follows :
Be it further enacted. That when any person shall
be imprisoned, either upon execution or otherwise, for
the non-payment of a fine or cost, or both, it shall be
lawful for the Sheriff of the county to SELL OUT
SUCH PERSON as a SERVANT to any person
ithin this State, who will pay the whole amount due,
for tho shortest period of service ; of which sale pub
lic notice shall be given at least ten days ; and upon
such sale being effected, the sheriff shall give the pur
chaser a certificate thereof, and from which time the
relation between such purchaser anti prisoner shall
be that of MASTER and SERVANT, until the time
of service expires; and for injuries done by either,
remedy shall he had in the same manner as is, or may
be, provided by law in the case of master and appren
tice.
But nothing therein mentioned shall be construed
to prevent persons from being discharged from im
prisonment according to the provisions of the 37th sec
tion of the act to which this is supplementary, if it shall
be expedient to grant such dis 'barge. Provided, That
the court, in pronouncing upon any person convicted
under this act, or the act to which this is supplemen
tary, may direct such person tr persons to be detained
in prison until the fine be paid, or persons otherwise
disposed of, agreeable to the provisions of this act.
And tin yeas and nays being required ; those who
oted in the affirmative, were,

minutes. Providentiall f no lives were lost,
tho’ the passeners were saved with difficulty.
Two of the passenger:, Mr. Chinn of Louis

latter by leaping lromo le boat to the other.—
A large amount of money was lost by the pas

lost the greatest amount of nnv on board. Mrs.
Hubbard was the only lady on board.
The shock was so su Iden, that before half
the passengers could get out of their berths the

those on board were coi npelled to leap from
the hurricane deck.
The Captains of both Boats had just turned
into their berths when ihe accident occurred,
and the Mates at present bear the blame; though
