Mr. Clark, of Washington county, occu- pied the floor ; it is well known that he is opposed to the repeal of the militia law ; he de the militia indispensable, as in case of insurrection they would be required to suppress it ; he said dandies alone opposed the militia law ; these dandies refused to per- form military duty, and on the day of parade would flou- rish their rattans and attempt to create confusion and excite ridicule, kc. Mr. Clark said, that according to the United States Constitution it was the duty of the several States to provide for the arming, organizing and disciplining of the militia, &e.; and of aan Te- peal of the militia law would amount to a viol: the Constitution; he was in favor of compensating every person who is required to perform militia duty.
