From the ;National Intelligencer TIIE PHEt4IDENT STILL IN TINE FIELD. Before the public mind had time to re- cover from the shock produced by the Pre i.iderit's letter (republished - in the National Intelligencer of the 7th inst.) to toe White Sulphur , Springs Committee, another elec tioneering document was put forth f oni the 4iigh source, prepared in the same qpirit, and with even greater elaboration. The paper to which we now refer fills al mo-t Ibur of the closely prin'ed columns of the Richmond Ettcpiirer of the 7th Instant, is dated;on the 31st July, 1840, and is in an- swer to five iuterrogaturie.s which had been propounded to the writer in a short letter, dated, ott the twelfth of June, 1840,. from MesSrs. JOHN B. CARYand others, citizens of Elizabeth City county, in Virginia._ The first four of these queries relate to Slavery, a National Bank,llie Tariff, and Internal Improvements.—The President's responses on these heads cite copiously and reaffirm the opinions heretofore avowed by him, and contain the additional declarations that he would not " Sanction any bill granting appro priations of the public money to any State solictmg aid for the emancipation of their slaves," and that he " was seriously friendly to the 'passage of the Compromise Bill, arid [ha.] always been a:id still [is] disposed to carry it - trito full effect." The sth question put by Messrs. Cary and utter; is in the following words: Do : you approve of Al r. Poinsett's scheme fur the organization of the militia?" In answeting this question, the President, after inode.stly confessing that his " know ledge of military affairs is very limited," presents an historical view of the Constitu tional and statutory law of the United States on the subject of the militia, and of succes• sive plaits fur- improving. its organization. He refers to reports of chairmen of commit ' tees of hot ii Houses oh Congress, us indicating their opinion that Mr. Poiosett's [p!an] is, in several, respects, preferable to those which , have preceded it, and is .ralyilated to effect a more , equitable disposition of the whole military force of the country than any here• tofore presented." After'stating and com• inenting , on " the difficulties which beset l i lhrs stihj , -ct," arising from the provision in !isection eight of the first article of the Con stitution of the [Tinted States expressly " re serving :to the States, respectively, the ap pointrnent;uf the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the dis cipline prescribed by-Congress," the Presi• dent coeludes his letter with the following ; observations: It is but lately that my attention has been particularly drawn to this subject; and as there is no doubt that the great men to whorn4 * have alluded contemplated an orga niz.atitinof the militia, and provisions for its instruction, embracing substantially the prin ciples contained in Mr. Poinsett's plan, it becomes'. me, in the face of so much appareht authority, to hesitate before I pronounce de finitely upon its constitutionality. I shall, I am confident, in the opinion of all candid minds, best perform my duty by refraining to do until it becomes necessary to act officially in the matter. In the mean time, I will content myself with saying that the inclination of my mind is, that the desired measure cannot be safe'ly accomplished in the form prpposed under the Federal Constitu• lion as it stands. Having 'thus given you the best opinions that 1 been able to Corm of the impor tant subjects to which you have called my attention, Ninu will, I hope, allow me to no• lice briefly one or two collateral considera tions. " Poinsett's uncontroverted account of the origin and progress of his plan is be fore you. • He shows that it grew out of a request Made of him by the Committee of the 11i ilia of-the House of Itepresentatives at the close of the session before the last, i n contediplat ton of a possible 411ision between this-country and Great firitriiii, and that it was matured and drawn forth under a call ma d e up o n hint by the (louse at the lust session.: Soule. surpribe has been expressed and doubts appear to be entertained of the correctness of his declaration, that the plan was not seen by we, or submitted to my con• si.leration before it was communicated to Congresi. Those who take this view of the subject entirely overlook the fact, that such is almost invariably the case on all similar occasions; and that, in replying to calls made upon them by either branch of the Legisla ture, the heads of Departments acts fur Con gress, and not for the President, except only on occasions where his acts are brought in question The impracticability of pursuing ,u different course, it ev'e'n it were otherwise desirable, will be appreciated, when-it is con. sidered flow very numerous these calls have recently 'been, amounting as they have done to 220 at a single session, independently of those made on the President himself, and of letters- firon committees, requiring great re search, anA 'the preparations of volumnious documents. Unfair-as these animadversions are shown to be, this has not been even the worst aspect in which they have been pre sented,•--We have been compelled to see, not, Y should think, without shame and mor tification on the part of every ingenuous mind ; whatever may be his po;itical prefer ences, the names of respectable citizens sub scribed to statements that I had In my an nual Message expressed my approbation of a plan which not only never had been submit ted to me, but was not even matured until mote than three months Bite' the message .was sent to Congress, and an attempt to prove the:unfounded assumption by the pub lication of a garbled extract from that docu ment, with its true meaning falsified by the suppression of a material part. Nor was the avowed object of these extraordinary proceedings less remarkable than the acts QM AND P Weekly by ttenjamin Pot4vllle, Sielt4lkill County, Pennsylvania. SATURDAY .MORNING, SEPTE*EIt 5. 1840. themselves, being nothing less than an at. tempt to fix upon me the,design of establish- , ing a standing army of tico hundred Motu., sand men for political and peisonal purposes., If I had been charged with the'design of es. i tablishing among you, tit the public„expenSe, l a menagerie of two hundred thousand wild, beasts, it would not have su•pri-ed me more,, nor would it, in my judgment, have beeii one jot more prelmsterous. "I am fortunately, gentlemen, not over sensitive to attacks of this character, and : have withal an abiding confidence in the in telligence of the Peop:e, which renders them wool against all such attempts to deceive: them. If I understand my own feelings, my chief teglet in witnessing such degrading, exhibitions arises limn a consideration of the, opinion which fuleignets, who have not the same r_•asons to respect our political institu tMns that we have, ate likely to firm of the character of our. People, when they see that' conspicuous men among us can promise themselves any advantages from attempts 1m delude their fellow citizens by means of such monstrous absurdities: This regret is. how.: ever, I confess, materially diminished by the conviction that the People will in the sequel, as they have heretofore done, convince those who attempt in this manner to operate upon their credulity of the folly of seeking to ac complish in this country political objects by such discreditable means." We copy, in full, this part of the PreSi• dent's letter, as being the only part on whiCh we design at this time to animadvert, pre• raising that .the italics are our own, except the phrase "establishing an army of two hundred thousand men, - which is italicised in the Richmond Enquirer. The interrogatory, it will be recullect('ti, to which the extract just made applies, is, ° Do you approve of Mr. Poinsett's scheme for the organization of the militia?" The President, justly apprehending that an an swer which should confine itself to the limit ed terms of the inquiry would riot satisfy the public mind, proceeds to vindicate his past as well as his present opinions of that scheme, and these, he, inf , rins his correspondents, were and are highly unfavorable; so much so, that he resents as slanders " statements that [he] had in [his] annual message ex pressed his apourbatiou of a plan which not only never had been submitted to [him] but which was not even matured until more than three months after the message t v,:s sent to Congress.' He even expresses his resent ment with an asperity of language which shows that the command of temper, which has hitherto been regarded as u main ele ment of his political success, is about to de sert him in the moment of Its utmost need. Tu every one familiar with the (locomen tary history of the last session of Congress, the declarations of the President, just cited, cannot seem otherwise than extraordinary. But they are gravely made and must be gravely met. The last annual message of the President of the U. States is dated on the 2d of Decem ber, 1839, but, in consequence of the war of his partisans against the sovereignty of the State of New Jersey, which delayed the or ganization of the House of Representatives the message was not transmitted to. Congress till the 24th day of that month. On the 20th of March, 1840, nearly three months after wards, the Joel R. Poinsett, Secretary of War, ttansmitted to the Speaker of the House of Representatives a report, in com pliance with a resolution of that House, pass ed on the 9th of the same month, '• That the Secretary of War be requested to commute. came his plan, in detail, for the reorganization of the militia of the United Stales." And, on the Bth of April 1840, the Secretary of War sent to the lion. G. M. Keim, Chair man of the Committee on the Militia of the House of Representative, a letter in answer to one from that gentleman requesting a ful ler statement of his views. If this were all the President's chrunoloy might be admitted; though, even then, we do not see how, with the "abiding confidence in the intelligence of the People" to which he lass a sort of con tinual claim, he can expect them to be satis fied with his strongly recommending a 'plan which he had " not seen." But the documents to which we have re ferred are far, very far, from being all, or even the strong,est links in one of the chains with which the President has fettered his political progress. The recommendation to which we have just referred is contained in his annual message of December 2, 1839, as appears from the lellowing extract: Extract from the Message of the President of the United States to the two Houses of bongress, Dec. 2, 1939. " The present condition of the defences of our principal seaports and navy yards, as re piesented by the accompanying report of the Secretary of War, calls for the early and serious attention of Congress; and, as con necting itself intimately with this subject, I cannot recommend too strongly to your con• sideration the plan submitted by that officer for the organization of Ole militia of the United States." Among the " documents accompanying the Message," from which the forcg , ing ex tract is taken, and the second in the series, is a " report Of the Secretary of War;" a document which, with its accompanying documents, fills four hundred and ninety oc tavo pages This report of the Secretary . of War is not a communication from that offi cer " replying to calls made upon [him] by either branch of the Legislature," as was the case of Mr. Poinsett's Reports, before noticed, of 20th March and Bth_ April, 1840. lr was a report dated " N ar Department, November 30, 1839," in the form of a let ter addressed "to the President of the United States," and transmitted to Congress by the President, as a "document accompanying" his Message of December 3, 1839. We have given an extract from the Message, in which the President, after calling the anon- Lion of COnsresi to the .. ancompany ing re. port of the.: Secretary of War;' says "I can not recoMinend too strongly to your conside. ration the !plan submitted by that officer for the orizaniittion of the .Militia of the United Srates." • Now. what is the " plan subinitted by that officer for the organizitio n of the Militia of the United States," in his •` accompanying report," which the President cou'd not too strongly recommend" to the consideration of Ctio,gressi Let the following extract answer the question: Extract tilom the Report 9 f the Secretary of War, dated November 30, 1839, occont• panying the•Nessage of the President of the United States to the two Houses of Congress, at the.commencetnent of the Ist ession of the ?.fith Congress. ‘•a is . proposed to 'divide the United States into eight military.districts, and to organize the Hint, 41 in each district, so as to have.a body of twelve thousaraffive hundrei; men in actave•service, and another ,ot equal ' , umber asa reservel This would give on armed firree of two hundred thousand 'men, so drilled and stationed as to be ready to iefte their plates in , the tanks in defence of th6' country believer called upon to oppose the enemy or repel the invader. The age of the recruit toi be from twenty to thiriv•seven Tire %%hole term of service to be eight years: tour years in the first class, and fair in the reserve. One-limrth part (twent•five thou. sand siten)' to leave the service every year, passing. at the conclu•=ion of the tiret term, into the reserve, and exempted from ordi nary militia duty altogether at the end of the second. In this mariner twenty-five thou sand men' will be discharged from militia duty every year, and twenty-five thousand fresh recrnits be received into the service. It will he stiffr,:ient for all useful purposes that the remainder of the militia, under cer 7 lain regulations provided for their Govern ment, be enrolled, and be mustered at long and stated intervals; for, in due process of nearly the whole mass of the militia Will pass through the first and second class es. and be either members of the active turps, or of the reserve, or counted among the exempts, who will be, liable to he called upon only in periods of evasion or imminent peril. The manner of enrollment, the HUM. ber of days of service, and the rate of com pensation, ought to be fixed by law; but the details had better be left subject to regula tien—a plan of iv loch I am prepared to sub mit to you." The extracts just given from the Report of the Secretary of %War, and which the, Clerk of the Hou,e of Representatives cer tifies " to ;be ALL contained in the Report that relates to the subject of the extracts," show what; was ',‘ the plan submitted by that officer forlhe organization if the Militia of the United States," which the President in his Message said he could not "too strongly recommend" to the consideration of Congress. This is the great plan, and the whole of it, And yet we find the President talking of a garbled extract from that document, falti . fled by the suppression of a material part." The points (eft open are. "the nuttiner'of enrollment, the number if days (!f - sekrice, and the rate of compensa tion; all of which the Secretary thinks to be fixed, by law," " hut the details," he thinks, " had better be left to regulation—a plan of whiell,' . he adds, " I am prepared to submit to y'ou," addressing himself to Lie President. , It thus appears that, though Mr. P.Jin sett's Report to the House of Representa tives was not made till nearly Once months, and his letter to Gen. Reim was not written for more than four months after the date of the President's Message, his plan was before the. President when he transmitted that ~lesAge, and actually formed a part of the Nles,age itself! Scarcely had the Message been made puble, before the plan, as un ' folded in th e Report from the War Depart. meat accompanying the Message, received snatching examinations in various parts•of 'the Union. It was promptly hi ought to judgment before the People of Virginia, so 141- back as the 15th of February last, Mr. RIVES, in his celebrated letter of that date. The searching analysis to which the plan of December, 1839, submitted by the Secre tary of War to the, President, and commu nicated by the President to Congress with a recommendation couched in the language of eitlogFi - wars subjected its Virginis, is well known to have contributed materially to the rescue of that renowned State froor the Spoilers, which was effected at the last spring elections. In truth, the subsequent report to the /louse of Representatives, and letter to Geo. Reim, to which the President must be supposed to refer when he says that the l• plan" Was tint even matured till more than three months after the Message was sent to Congress," arid which he identifies as the " plan" itself, so far from being volun tary explanations of it, were notoriously ef forts called_ Out by the storm of oublip-opi niOn to lessen by mitigative details the ()di me under which both the plan and the re commendation were laboring. These efforts signally failed. The details, though con cocted under the most impressive warnings fared no better than the general principles; and as a last resort, a species of special plead ing is now attempted in order to screen the President at' the expense of the Secretary, and at the expense too of the necessary ad mission (necessary if the " matured" plan was the plan referred to in the Message) that the President solemnly recommended to the People_ancl,the States an important measure of which he was utterly ignorant! And such are the perplexities of his condition that he actually putt( in this plea himself! cc? John Q.

Au effort is made by Mr. Van - Buren's administration TO REVI YE THE REIGN OF TERROR by means of his stand ing army scheme; and it remains for the people to say whether they will SUBMIT THEIR NECKd TO THE YOKE. Thal scheme, as communicated to Congress, contains the Ulm.% ing suggestion, which Mr. Van Buren said he could not too strongly re commend !" That the militia 'of the United States, or A ny portion thereof, when employed in the ser Ice of the United States, shall be subject to the SANE RULES AND ARTICLES OF WAR as the troops of the United States."' The 17th section proposes to give the President the power- to call out the militia, 4. as Ile nut!' deem neeeAsaryi' and further, that .4during such period. including the time when going to and returning from, the place of rendezvous, they shall he deemed in the service ef7he Cniled Slabs, and shall be -subject to such regulation a as the PICSItICIA ;Day than. proper to adopt,": Now the reader will observe that as soon us a ma !ilia man, under this new law, shoulocrs his musket., he is to be i•in the service of the United Suites,' und of course 'subject to the 44 same rules and articles of wet- as the troops of the United States," This sub jection will continue till he is again dismissed , and during 311 that time, the SEDITION LAW of An cient Federalism is in fact revived !

Any officer or soldier, who shall USE CONTEMPTUOUS OR DISRESPECT FUT; WORDS against the President of the Unite State2Vainst the rice President thereof, rif.,,iinst the Clay . Yugistrate of any of the Uorte•l States In which they may be quartered ; if a coinuriss:ioned of ficer shall be CASHIERED, or otherwise FL,N IJfI ED, us a Court Martial shall direct if a nou-coru rnissioned • officer or soldier, he SHALL SUFFER SI:L1 PUNISHMENT AS SHALL BE IN FLICTEDON HIM Br S FIIE sENTENCE OF A COURT Mt UM A 1.." Hero is the penalty denounced against frt.rmen for speaking their minds. And What is it 7 Why that for DA Mt: to say what he thinks of the men in power. the militia man is to be subject to SUCH PUNIsHMENT as may be inflicted on him by a COURT MARTIAL:' That pum,hment may be a public whipping, such as was recently inflicted on Fleming Livingston at New York=-it may be a fine —it luny be imprisonment—or it may be DEATH. It may be any thing in fact which a court martial may choose to agree upon; and from the sentence of that court there is no appeal. The offender—the man who may dare to express his dissatisfaction with the public affairs, is to be denied even a trial by a ury of his peers ;—but is to he tried by a court coin posed of officers appointed by the President, and who will of course be willing at any time to punish those who speak " disrespectfully" of the fountain of their patronage. Fellow citizens, will not this be a revival of the REIGN OF TERROR ? We think so, ri nit it will be as destructive of public liberty as were the alien and sedition laws. Then, will you not guard your own rightd, and put down an administration which proposes to subject you to such abject slavery? It remains for yourselves to preserve your freedom.
