1 Ir. Loudinot said it was a mistake, tbat
laborers, and good laborers, could not be
obtained for the wages and allowance of
the oloiers. He knew of good laborers
at.mdj employed at and u C der the rate
ot their actual comp^nfation.
Mr. Scot said that it was In vain to ex
pect men to enlist for the present pay—he
knew of no laborers in his part of the
Country, that could be procured for the
allowance ucv.r made to the soldiers—men,
who could eat and drink, and sleep
and iecureiy at home, and get from 70 to
a y«ar for their labor, would
hardly be induced to rilk their lives for
fne pay and allowance of a soldier !
ivlr. Findley offered some remarks on
t ie propiiety of raising the value of the
rations.
Mr. J. Wadfworth said it had been af
csrtained on a former occasion, that ta
into confederation the value of the
'jailing-, rating it at 20 dollars per ann.

Heat. I.llo' he was opposed to any
». yet, as cireuintlai
ccl n . JwiU,uated» be was in favor of coro-
the number of troops originally
intended by the au.
I{e oblerved that there were no com
plaints >ro't forward from the soldiers —
some complaints had been mentioned trom
the officers, but these remained to be en
quired into—he tho't that one dollar ad
dition would answer the purpose effectu
al^ —if the three dollars per month had
Jft_en fuHieient to - raise three quarters of
Ihe in:n required, one dollai" more, ma
king four dollars a month, would raifc
the other quarter. t He added ioir.e re
marks on the enormous experice wisich
would attend the enhancement oi the pay
iri'cafe the United States were called on
to make a great additio* to their military
force.
Mr. Boudinot <"Ued some observations
3 n the fubjcft. At supposed it might be eli
-ifcle to-mafcc some addition to the cloath
|n<T apd rations.
'Mr. Montgomery said he could not un
lerlland, how gentlemen calculated in ef
imating the pay of the soldiers aa being
qual to that of laborers—according to
s calculations it was iufenor.
fie said the militia called out 50 ast
•>U the re ailar troops, are never laiisht'd
ith the continental pay.
Mr. Scot said he hoped that fiveido!-
.'. s wor.ld be agreed t'—this
aent would probably induce a fufftient
tumUr of the militia now in die ifi?h
lorbood of the army to cnlift ; thiche
coftiifted principally of a3
v, aftivc youths, as any in the I nitvd
States.
Mr. Hunter said that the (late of South
Tarolina gave their militia cn the frontiers
ighteen pence sterling a day, and he bd
■eived that it v. vain to expect to Rite
neu at the rcduccd wages propofedi he
ras fureit never could be done in the fijr.h-
era States.
Mr. Beatty said he was in favor ol the
motion for an encreafe of the pay—hit he
stated a modification of the business h re
lation to some compensation at the eld 01
the service ; he said he should brir.<j for
ward a motion in the course ofthe difcuiion
Mr. Smiley enlarged on the ideas le at
firft suggested refpe&ing the importance
of committing the defence of the country
tofubftantial citizens, men interested in
its prefperity.
Mr. Irvine added some remarks, in
i which he concurred fubftantiallv in th<jli
i dcas of-Mr. Beatty, and reprobated in fe-
terms the profligate and drunken cha
ratters of many of the recruits in service.
\Mr. S. • Smith, after stating that the
Vage price of labor in Maryland, is for
/\i!it dollars a vear—nrcreA c
'r \ions to lt*ew the extreme n. po-
W\ enhancing the pay at the present

Ss therefore were scarce, and cfnfe

, e WES ln \ir of the idea fogae&ed
by tne gentfenS. f rom New-je:iey, ol
100 a<r£\ o f a t the expira
! tion of tne Smith was op
posed to the motion \ r 2 dollars, and in
favor of the addition pypofal in the bill.
Mr. Wadfworth adde\fome remarks on
the observations which had been made
refpectmg the purging the anny of Jiilo
lute and intemperate soldiers. He conli
dered such ideas as futile. To expect
that an army should consist only of sober
industrious men, without vices—we might
J & o
H.l as well expeftthat an army might be
eompofed of clergymen.
The motion for striking out one ar.d in
fertng'two dollars, was negatived.
Mr. Clark moved an addition to the ra
tions of 4 ounce 3 of bread or flour, and 4.
ounces of meat.
Mr. Parker said he was one of the com
mittee on the bill, he heard of no com
plaint on account of the rations! he pre
iumed they were fufficieut, unless it was j
proposed to fat them like pullets or ducks
till they became so unweildy that they could
not run away or desert—he fawno advan
tage in the proposed augmentation ; be
sides he said it would only increase the
temptation of thefavagesto attempt cutting
off convo" had already been the cafe; he
said that one hair the army is now employ
ed in transporting provisions to the other.
Mr. Findley said in opposition to Mr.
Parker, that he had heard of more com
plaints o.n account of thefcarcity of provisi
ons than on account of thewages : that the
men had frequently been reduced to great
flraits for the want of supplies—-to such
straits as that one of them Ind informed
him, the fweeteil moriel he had ever eaten
was a piece of roailed cow hide ; he said j
it was unjust and ungenerous, he would
not fay wicked, to expccl that men in the
service of their country fliould iuffer for
the want of a full supply of neceffrry
food. -Ile did not anticipate the disad
vantages that the gentleman from Virginia
did ; he did not think there was any dan
ger of the men's growing too fat.
Mr. Smiley added several remarks cor
roborative of those of Mr. Findley : he
remarked that a man in tile wilderness re
quired more food than one in the more fet
tled parts of the country.
Mr. Hartley moved to flrike out tlr*
quantities and leave the anibuntof the ad
dition blank.
Mr. Clark consented to this alteration
in his motion.
Mr. Hartley then added some observa
tions to (hew the neceflity, propriety, and
juflice of adding to the cloathing as well
as the rations ; he said that four dollars a
month, with some addition of the kind he
mentioned, would make the soldiers com
fortable.
Mr. Wadfworth said he was opposed
to railing the rations to a greater quanti
ty than would amount to the necessaries of
life. He adverted to the rations allow
ed to the late continental army, which
had been found fuffioent.
Mr. B. Bourne said that it appeared to
him that more information was wanting to
enable the committee to decide with pro
priety ; he could wish that the motion
(hould lay on the table till that informa
tion was obtained.
Mr. Findley, to shew that the rations
ha 4 not been fufficient,and that complaints
had b«en made, referred to the communi
cations v» a de at the lad feflion ofCongrefs
during the iuveftigation into General St.
Clair's expedition.
Mr. Giles also tw e( j some information
to the fame point, ret_-; vec J by the feleft
committee on that bufineh.
It was then moved to at. en d the mo
tion by striking the article l< mtjt."
This motion -:ccafioned foh, e -ftnther
debate, but before * vote was taKft, Mr.
Clark withdrew his motion.
Mr, Irvine then moved an amend!®© <
the substance of which was that each sol
dier at the end of ' the service (hould be en
titled to looWte of laud.
Mr. Findley the
..he conlidered it which
m induce the lolciers to little m that
country, and prevent many at the end of.
the war from returning to the thick fet
tled parts, and the cities on the sea coast,
and become for want of employment, rob
bers and house breakers.
Mr. S. Smith said the principle of the
motion he considered excellent—it would
produce a more rajiid settlement of the
frontiers, and experience has proved thai
the only effectual plan of repressing the in
cursions of the savages is by pushing the
settlements into their covn;ry.
Mr. Dearborn objected to this mode of
rewarding the fcldiers ; he preferred that
of giving a sum of money at the end of
rhe fervice,fufficient to enable the men to
purchase a numberof acres of land at their
option in any part of the Uuited States.
He stated a variety of difficulties that had
formerly attended the plan of giving laud
to the soldiers, and fnewed that it had not
answered the purpefe.
Mr. Beatty and Mr. Boudinot offered
several objections to the motion, the for
mer gentleman preferred the idea cf Mr.
Dearborn.
Mr\ Roudinot said the motion must be
nended, if the principle is adopted, be
>re it will be proper'to agree to it.
Mr. Scott obfervedthat the present ln-
Jan war was a war of couqueft, and it
as in vain ever to expect peace on our
ontiers till the Indians were expelled trom
lat country. He then adverted to the.
rogrefs of the fettkment of the
-it had been effected by driving off tue
ndians and eftablifhingpofts ; in this way.
he settlement at Pittfburg was made, and
nlefs you establish a chain of polls all a
aund the frontiers, and gr.rriion theni,
nd thus keep the settlers in a state 01 i--
urity, theft is no better mode that can
e deviled to secure them than by encou
aging the army'to fettle there.
Mr. Boudinot objected fully » the mo
ion,haTai dit was pursuing a fyfteffi whica
11 his opinion had occaiioned all our tr;>u
le on the frontiers.
Mr. Finaley supported the motion, he
bnfidered the troubles on the frontiers as
kiginating in a deviation from former
Lattice or principles. j
| The motion was finally resetted. ;•
