Mr. Strong look the same aide, denying
that the lull extended the principle of the
pension sy stein, and contending that it w as
strictly in cni'foruiity with other acts on
i iic same subject. lie* went into all esti
mate' tu shew tlail the number now living,
could nut hehv any means *o great as had
heen stilted hv Ins colleague, [Mr. U hod. |
I le argued this from the number of the up-
plii'mils under the pens on laws of ls-lt-
i al 1^2(1; the total of which uinounlch
to 30,000. Among these, Mr. S. contend-
• <1 tIv i a imvpiritv were of the Militiamen

they vve.'e I lieu far adv a need in lili 1 —great
■ iillnhers llliist have died shut—unit upon
the whole, lie Couelilded that the nuniber
ol' survivurs did not, in ull probability, ex
ceed 30,000.
Mr. Hoffman followed on tiie -ame side
—regretted that the pension system hud
ever been extended beyond the invalids ot
tile iirmv, hut since it hud, *nd since se
veral other classes of the soldiers of K e
revolution had received relief under it, lie
nsisted upon the equity of extending il to
all who had shared ill that struggle.
Mr. II. then adverted to the exposed si-
luation of the Western part if the 8tute
of N’ew-York during the Revolution, and
to the eiuinc’it services which 11n■ I lliere
heen performed hv the M . I Ilia of til ,t State,
and which had opened the w ay to the at
tainment of our indepeijcluee. Il'on expe

ti," miinl>< r I a pressure nn the Treasury, the remedy
was to he sought, not in narrowing tin-
class of persons who received the pensions,
hut in curtailing tiie amount of the pen
sions themselves.
Mr. Dams went into a calculation to
shew the probable numherof survivors who
would lie n liovetl hv this lull He con
tended llmt the iiuiiiher of militia tl:d not
prolmbly surpass that ol tht* regulars; and
ilien went into a history of the condition
nf tho Revolutionary Army from the year
1777 to the year 1781), during which peri
od the in j lit iu ware the mo.-t numerous,
and reasoned iroill this fact to show Iiovv
.■Hindi a proportion of the Revolutionary
nuhliu wa re likelv to he now alive. lie
conjectured that not one third of thv, ori
ginal miinl.er now survived. He dwelt
upon the meritorious services and sacrifi
ces of these devoted individuals—inveigh
ed against the stain upon the national liou-
or which niusi result from denying them,
hi the Ilnur of our rieiies mid power, a
pittance of compensation which had heen
promised hi the hour of our necessity.—
He mil cried to the immense Minis annual
ly appropriated to works ol internal im-
pi tu i'incut, mid to tjic fortification of the
roast, and scouted the idea that a hill like
tins was likely to beggar the Treasury.
Mr. -S'. TVnoil rose in reply, and insis-
led on the correctness of the computation
he Imd at first advanced, lie admitted,
to its fullest extent, the merit of tlm mil
hill, iimI which would exclude from ite
bounty those who are uh< adv roiling iu
wealth, and stood iu no need of the aid of
the (lOtcrnmcuL.
Mr. ileerett now rose, and said, that
he had intended to oiler some remarks up- ■
nn this lull, hut owing to the lateness of
the hour, and the advanced-stage of the
session, he should decline doing so, and
would, ni stead, demand the previous ques
tion.
The motion was sustained hy the IInuse>
—aye* 1)7; and the previous question hav
ing been put, vizi “Hiall tho main qu< an
lion now be put?"
Mr. Dollc detnunded that it be decided:
by y< m* and nay*. The yeas uud nays,
were thereupon ordered, and being taken,
stood as follows:—yeat 119, nays .73.
.So the House decided that the mnia
question should now be put. It was pne
accord.ugly, in these words:—“Shall th«

The Revolutionary Pension Bill, which
had yesterday been considered and amend*
ed in (mminitti'e of the Whole, wus read
a tlurd lime, and the question being, .'Im®
tills lull pass?
Mr. MeDuJfie moved that the bill be re
committed to the Committed on kevoln-
t onnry Pensions with instructions to make
an estimate of the probable amount of
the annual expenditure which will lie
caused by its passage; and the probable ef
fect of that expenditure iu retarding ilia
extinguishment of the public debt. AUq,

had, was that my error in opinion had not
produced any acts injurious to the inlrgri-

was revived in 1808 and 1809, during the
embargo and noil-intercourse, und after

Mr. Miner inquired with some anxiety
as to the probable amount which the hill
would draw from the. Treasury, and its ef
fect in retarding the discharge of the pub
lic debt.
