The onenjies of Democratic Government having failed to" mako good theit chareo o extravagance with which thoy accused tho vurainisirauon 01 Martin van liuren, have aow shifted their course, and attack the re I oit of the Secretary at War, charging him v-itk a desiro to raise a standing farmy of -'90,000 men; and, in hopes of making it subservient to tneir cause, attempt to con nect this military report with tho Preaiden tial question. But they are again destined to rail; tneir cnarge is naujrht, save tho hicli wrought colorings of federal perversion for political eucci. What aro tho facts ? The Secretary at var ucing called upon.as has been all his predecessors from the days of Washington until tho present time, submitted a proposi tion to Congress for their consideration for tho improvement of the militia systom of the country. Congress otdered tho report, together with the previous reports on tho same subject, to bo printed and laid before the people, but the federalists, in want of political capital, .seize hold of a portion of uis Topori, twist 11 to suit tnojr purposes, and bold it up to view as an act of Martin Van Buren, making at tho saine time the reckless assertion that he is in favor of a standing amy of 200,000 men.whioh asser tton they know to be bjeand unfounded, ui over acting upon the rulo that every thing is fair in palitics, they probably think may are justiliable in doing as they do. Tljo people, however, are not the ignorant herd that federalism suppose them to bo. Chey-will investigate and know the truth. Whatever the report may contain, it is tho raero suggestion of the Secretary, which ia laid beforo Congres; and unless sanction ed by the immediate representatives of tho people, is bat a dead letter, having no ef fect. Under the present law, every abto bod died man under forlyfivo years of ago is, bound to perform military duty at stated times, or pay on equivalent. The. number of the militia oxcecd a million, rack and file, and tho proposition of the Secretary, is, that instead of every able bodied man, enly a stated number shall perform duty, say 200,000 in the Union, each slate fur nishing her pro rata, in proportion to the number enrolled. As wo shall lay the matter moro fully be fore our readers hereafter, wo rofiain for the present from further comment, with this one additional remark, that the quota of this state, were the law spoken of adopted by Oongpoaj, would not roach tho number of voriiiiteors already existing.

The federal wliigs of this State have been endeavoring to man ufacture political capital out of the high Blending and influence of Judge James M.
