April 15. d3t FOR THE FEDERAL GAZETTE. "k. THE TABLET—No. III. Mr. Jefferson in his message on the open- ing of congress, lays it down as a maxim of state, " that the militia are to be employed, in. ease of actual war, to maintain the pub- lic interests, while a more permanent force shall be in a course of preparation." Having thus devolved on the militia, dur- ing the first stage of ivar, the defence of our country, it was incumbent upon Mr. Jefferson to use his endeavors to obtain laws for the organisation of this body of men, and rules for their discipline and train- ing, calculated to qualify them to fulfil so high and important a duty. Mr. Je.Iersoh must have known that the laws relative to the raihtiu, in almost all the states, have been lor.^ since considered as little better than a dead letter ; that in seve- ral of the states, the citizens who should constitute their militia, are almost without arms ; that in most of them it would be an uncommon sight to see a militia company upon parade ; and that in any of them, it would be a thing still more extraordinary, to see a division of militia in the field, with its apparatus of artillery, cavalry, arms and officers, go through the usual manosu- vres of a review—in short, except in one or two states, there is hardly the form of a militia to be seen in the United States. It is not to be presumed that Mr. Jefferson could be ignorant of tht'se notorious circum- stances, tie does not, it is true., take any delight in military affairs, but he of neces- sity must sometimes look into the office of the secretary of war, and, we presume con- sult the reports of that minister. Here he might have learned, that from two of the United States, Maryland and Delaware, no returns of their militia had ever been re- ceived ; that South-Carolina had made no returns since the year 1802 ; that none had been obtained from Rhode-Island, Pennsyl- vania ai.d the District of Colnnnbia, since 1808, nor from Vermont, Nav-York and Tennesse, since 1805.* As these facts must have been known to Mr. Jefferson, why has this subject been to- tally disregarded by him, and congress per- mitted to close their session without its be- ing once pressed upon their attention ? We cannot permit ourselves to suppose it to be Mr. Jefferson's opinion, that preparing the militia to cope with an enemy, might, as in the case of regular troops, be safely post- poned till a time of actual war, and yet without the admission of some such absur- dity, it is difficult to account for his utter silence in the case. Pompey had the vanity to boast, after a flood of congratulatory addresses, poured in upon him by his fellow-citizens, which appear to have swohi his pride and bewil- dered his judgment, that " in whatever part, of Italy he should stamp with his foot, whole armies, both of infantry and cavalry, would instantly arise."t Mr. Jefferson on a late occasion, was heard to say to those around him, " give me but time to" write a proclamation, be the danger ever so great, and you will see neither swords nor militia wanting at the summons." Pompey, when too late, discovered the error into which pride and vanity had betrayed him ; and so may Mr. Jefferson, should a crisis occur during his administration, that shall demand the militia of the United States to face a re- gular army. Let vis not be misunderstood. We are far from meaning to insinuate any defect, of courage and patriotism inour fellow-citi;:ens. We believe them to possess both in as ample a degree, as either Homans or Greeks, in the best days of their republic! ; but we know at the same time, that an armed or unarmed multitude, ignonant of discipline, could make no resistance against regular forces, and if led into the field would be led to sure and certain slaughter. To qualify and keep our citizens in goe- ral ready to take the Held against regular forces, demands the saipe preparation as is * See Trent en True American.

Tor the formation btii iibtrui Of regular troops, ji our n.iio. si shall not be suited to Mr. Jefferson's ri of state, an adherence to -the m. Why are the great body of our citizens, who must raage as njfSitiaj without arms ? Why has not a system fof their organization, discipline and govern- ment, been prepared and submitted to con- gress ? Can our young men h.-arn the art of war in dreams ? Can a proclamation supply the place of such a system ? Can it enable undisciplined troops to contend with a vete- ran army ? Final'y, does it corpport with a humane and enlightened policy, to lead an undisciplined militia against veteran troops, commanded by experienced and scientific of- ficers ? People of the United States, if the pow- er of reflection be yet left to you, exercise it. Call to your aid the rights of pre-investiga- tion. Con over the flatteries which have been employed to soothe your vanity and bewilder yonr reason. Examine these? acts and maxims (if you can) without passion or prejudice, and tell us, are they calculated to give perpetuity and greatness to the'nation, or philosophic ease and popularity to their author ? Recollect what were your feelings formerly, on insults being offered your min- isters, and injuries inflicted on your country ? Compare them with your feelings new, un- der more pointed insults and aggravated in- juries ? What has caused this difference ? View our government as it left.the hand'; of Washington and Adams. Consider the in- struments and means by which it came into the hands of Mr Jefferson, and pray, fer- vently pray, that it may not leave them an immense wreck, floating upon the tempestu- ous sea of democracy. Is there no punishment in reserve for liimr who shall induce a people to believe, that a government without restraints is the best of* governments; that wars can and ought al- ways to be obviated by money or submis- sion ; that an unarmed nation is the strong- est nation in the world ; that after a coun- try is invaded, it is time enough to prep: a regular force to defend it ; that a militia may become formidable, without system, arms and discipline ; that the fittest place for a navy (if a people must have one) is a dry dock ; that if a coast must be protected, it should be only by gun-boats and a few moveable cannon ; that the rights of com- merce are best maintained by pamphlets, by newspaper abuses, non-importation acts and confiscations ; that reason is of sufficient force to maintain the public tranquility and the peace of nations .'--Yes, there is a pun- ishment for such who shall, teach these doc- trines, high in its nature, and perpetual in its operation : he will be held up to posterity by the faithful pen of history, as the author of all the evils and calamities which must in- evitably befal that people who shall deliver themselves over to such political heresies. We have expressed our ideas perhaps strongly. If we have, it is because the cir- cumstances of the case have awakened in usi uncommon sensibility. We see the very existence of the nation put at risk, by the agency of mere names and sounds, which the people who use them do not understand • which werejintroduced by a few men, to an- swer party or personal purposes ; and are kept up with the same view by a constant repercussion from one demagogue to ano- ther. We see government extending its ter- ritory with one hand, and •weakening its de- fences with the other, and the nation blind to this dreadful absurdity. We see the pro- perty of our merchants a prey to pirates and ii'eeboo;„rs, and that body of men calumni- ated and abused. We see a system of forti- fications for our harbors and cities, begun under Washington .vnd continued by Adams, discontinued, as expensive, and declaimed against, as useless. We see the small regu- lar force which a Washington thought ne- cessary to keep up, and by which military knowledge is preserved to a nation, reduced to a shadow-, and the little which remains of it attempted to be adulterated by incongru- ous incorporations.1 We see our navy dis- mantled, rotting, r,nd superceded by gun- boats, and a secret and inscrutable policy:}: spreading itself over the face of our public affairs. We see a brave people surrounded with the toils of democracy, sunk into a state of indifference, fearing no sinister e- vent, and providing against noni. We see a sensible people embracing dogmas, which must, prove fatal to liberty, in their course and operation. We see a nation, which we had fondly believed intended for high desti- nies, paralysed to the.centre, anxl its last hope, its militia, flattered with being a co- lossus, while it is actually left a heap of sand.
