Tho question very probably arises in reference to the character aiid ex tent ot Ibis tux, und the maimer in which it shall be raised. 1 would very respectfully suggest tlmt an annual tax of one dollar be imposod upon alt portion* subject to do militia duty under tin- ircscnt law. This should be the max mum rnto levied upon ull, whose pro perty did not reach tlio vulno of live thousand dollars, audits payment an nually should exempt them .from uil further military requisition, except in case of war. Upon all other person ® whatsoever, whoso property exceeded this amount, I would assess the very minute turn offi cents upon every ndd.- thous.im) dollars of tlieir property.— None, I am sure, will ho found so nig gardly parsimonious or so basely un patriotic uw to object to this small- very small pittance, exacted for tins protection of himself, ins property, Ids all; orAo monstrously unjust to oth ers, as not to concede the equitable principle, that those who have the im»t exposed to dangei, should qontribute most to its defence. No people posser- siug our great wealth and resource,., have ever had so littio case to complain ot tho weight of public burthens; none certainly have, m a military point of view, contributed less in the cither ofpersoual services or nu tlieir general security. Froi sources which I have indicated a .<y>r- cj/fc military fund would be raised abun- cfuntly sufficient for ull proper objects ol expenditure, except tlio purelio*®* of proper arms nnd accoutrements. Upon this subject, my feelings prompt mo to go vdry far, and, I cannot but think, in aright direction.

Incompatible as may bo this stato of things with ft becoming milita ry spirit, I am nevertheless fully pur- sunded that the foelings which have caused this result aro not confined to nuy particular section or district, blit' that they nro of universal provalenco. nnd will be found to exist with equal force in every Division throughout thb State. For many years there has been a constantly increasing spirit of repug nance und opposition on tlie part of tlio people to tho performanco of militia duty, until this fooling has at longth be- como sufficiently strong, virtually, to subvert tho institution itself, and to dis pense with its services ns a useless re quirement and an unnecessary imposi tion. Such being tho decision of popu lar opinion, it may bo safely assumed that our present system has failed in its design of securing military efficien cy, nnd that it ought not to bo relied on in its present inoperative condition, asa means of protection, either in suppress ing domestic insurrection or ropelling foreign invasion.
