FB0 THB lOOTHRBStB. The MUlita Sjatcm. In our last (July 4th) we gave a digest of the various plans proposed for the rc-organixution of the militia, from the time of Washington to that ef Jacks hi, with eome remarks upon each ? and, in oiJer that better comparison may b maJe be tween them end that proposed nnder the present administration j and that fair judgment may U firmrd of the justico or Injustice of Major Camp bell's remarks upon Mr. Poin ell's recommcnuV tiens, we place the whole consecutively together lot. The plan of Washington. The whole militia to be divided Into Ibree clas cat 1st. Claw Advance Corps yourg men IS to 20 year of age. 2d. Class Main Corp men from 21 to 45 years of age. 3d. Clase Reserve Corpa men from 43 to 60 years of ago. The whole of the Advance Corps to be at the expense of the United State An annual Camp of Ducipl no t j be held for tl.ii ty day a. Commissioned officers only to be pai.l. Estimated expenses, $390,000 yearly, which mul tiplied by 6, according to our increase of popula tion, would be now (1.950,000 yesily. 8 J. The plan of Jiflerson, To doss and train all from 20 to 25 yean of ago, in such a manner as to be liable to be called into mice at a moment's warning. Which classification would hare given, in 1608, 800,000 men, and la 1840 would give about 1,000,000. 3d. The recommendations of Madison and Har rison. Aftrr various-suggestions, from 1304 to 1810, all, - however, contemplating and urging the necessity of camp duties, and strict training, and payment of the United State, to the officers, or to both officers and privates, a bill was introduced by committee, of which General William Henry Harrison was chairman, to the following effect 1st. The whole militia to be divided 'into three Cln-scs. 1st. Minor Class young men between 18 and 21.. years of ago. 2d. Junior Class men between 21 and 31 yeaia of age. 3d. Senior Class men between 31 and 45 yean of age, 2d. The whole of the officers and sergeants to be trained one month in each year, at the expense of the United States. 3d. The estimated expenses about $1,600,000 for the month. 4th. Plan proposed under J. Q. Adams. 1st. That s select body of about 600,000 men should be organized, nono under 21 yiarsof age. 2d. That the President should have the power to call out the militia, for period of twelve months. 3d. That the officers should be encamped and instructed ten days in each year, 4th. That they should be paid by the U. States during encampment. 6th. Plan Proposed by Mr. Poinsett. 1st The whole militia to be divided into three 1st. Class lobe denominated the mass, constat ing of the whole body of militia, the same in fact as we now know by the term militia, with this ex ception, that now all are enrolled between the ages of IS and 45, whereas, this plan proposes not to enroll before 20 vears of age. See 1st section of 1st and 2d beads of the plan. 2d. Class The active or movcaMo force, constat ing of only 100,000 men, of the whole number be tween the ages of 21 and 37. Bee 10th head of the plan. 3d. Class The jeserve or sedantury force, to be composed of those who have served 4 years in the active class. See 12th brad of the plan. 2d. 100,000 men only of the active clase, to per form camp duty for a limited number of days each year, for 4 years. See last s.ction rf llthbesd and the 17th head. 3d. Both officers and privates of said 100,000 to be paid by the United States. 4th. Estimated expenses if ten days, as recom mended by Poinsett, be adopted, the expense would be let than $500,000 per year ! In addition to the above detailed plans, the sub ject was repeatedly brought before the notice of Congres by both Monroe and Jackson; and in all the numerous recommendations, the principles ol paynunt by iheUuitcd Slates, and the severe train iug ol a select few, instead ol the inellkienl organi zation of the mass, were embouied, How then is it, that Maj. Campbell says: ' But the mode in which this one (viz: army, as he calls it) is to be raised, has no parallel in the history of this country 5" We find a very close paiallel even in the very first plan of Washington. "Three classes The whole of the 1st class at the expense of the United Stake en annual camp of discipline for thirty days." How then is it, that Major Campbell aays, "There never has been such a proposition as this (via t Poinsett's) made to the American people, since the commence ment of the e'ruggte for independence f end yet here is one made I y the Father of his country, one of his earliest and lat at recommendations during his Presidency. Surely the excitement of the occa. sion mu4 have blunted Msj CampUle remem brance ; or more likely, he had run along the alream of whig declarations, and take that for granted, which he might, by investigation, hs better in farmed himself upon. 'No paralMV Look t the 2 I l.n, that of JefJeraon-all between 20 ai d 25 years of age, to be trained, and liable to be cslh d into service at a moment's warning." "No peralhll" Look at the 2d plan, that of Gen. llsrrison himself Three c'asaea the whole of the officers sud sergeants of the whole three clss ses to be trained one month, rsch year, at an ex pense of $1,600,000 1" That is, instead of training 11)0,000 men for ten days, taken from that clas whose youth and circumstances would render them mote able to the fatigue aod lot of lime, he would have trained 200,000 fur 30 days, taken in liscri. raiiiately front the young sud middle aged, frcm those having no families, and those having 'large ones dependant upon them , and this too, at an ex pense of $1,'600,W, instead of $400,000 as propo sed by Poinsett. Does Mj. Campbell suppose that officers are less likely to be bribrd by ay than ptl vatea t anothei index to the light in which the mass of tlie people are held by the whige of the present day, and were held by their ancestors, the federalists of the olden. M j. Campbell has great fears that men may be "douMy armed with the bayonet and the ballot," but none (hat they may be "doubly armed with the sword and ballot."

The whole work is execn ted with a degree of taste ard nentn B4, that does infinite credit to Mr. Godey, the puM shcr. The Octobtr number is embellished with an engraving entitled, "Happy aa a Kirg," thil surpasses any thing we have ever seen in an Amoiican P.iioJi cel. A Chance. The friends of Horton, in ordei to deceive the people, have reported that this picas after the elec tion will come out in favour of ti e Whigs. Now we state to all who are subscribers to our pser, or may choose to subscribe, that they m.y withdraw their subscriptions as soon a weehangour diiic, and (hit we will not charge them one cent for ihe subscription to our paper, in that event. The Milton Ledger has m-de an attack on the Kcy.toi e," and through it, an attatk on the ad minis ration of Gov. Porter, aa Ihe following ex tract from an article in the ledger will prove: "The n, w pap. r established in our county town was gleaned from the office of the K vs one. at Harr shurg, the reputed organ of the rtgeticy ut the capuoi, w. icn nas ciueu me to make many s ir mtses, wnten si prtttnl 1 shall lupprttt." At present they say ihey wi.l suppress the sur mises, but after the election we may expect to see the Ledgrr, and Horton's lesJing friends, out a- gainst Porter and the democratic party. Again they spak ol "the second branch of the Keystone," A Potter Stone," which we uppoe they intrnJ for Porter Stone, Thus you see, they HtfUllil to IIUII'UHI Ul Uvhimw i.i vu...viml tvUIJ the Keystone, which is the leading democratic pa per at Harrisburg. What can all this mean I Let every true democrat look at the fo'lowing calculation, and then tell us what ihey think o such democrats aa are now trying to break up the psriy, by pushing forward such a man as Jes se C. Horton. You will see, if these Horton leadirs are suffered to go on much longer, lie wbigs will get a mojoriiy on the other side of the river. A few years ago, the democratic m ijon ty on the other side was nearly tqiiul to ours, which is now nearly 700. They have therefore lost near ly 350 votes in that time.

A Hope less Job. Youngman is laboring very hard to prove that Hegios is opposed to the Sham kin coal region! Don't you remenib. r, Mr. Youngman, the many speeches in favor of that coal legion, made by Mr. Hegins while in the legislature, and published in your pap r 1 If you don't the people do. You had better give it op, and try to prove to your readers that the Court Howie and public offices ought to be removed to No thumberland, and that Jesse C. Horton is the veiy man to have it done. It is raid that you will remove your press to Northumber land before long, snd if you could lake the Register snd Recorder's office with you, it would I a very convenient for you indeed ! ! The Danks. It is pretended by the friends of Horton that he will go against the btnks. Horton is a contractor arid baa at this very time borrowed thousands from the Northumberland Bank to finish his connect on the North Branch Canal. He wants to go to tha Assembly so that he may have more influence snd get himself and bis fiivuds more jobs, and tben he will be ob iged to boirow ihouaanda wore to go on with his work. Do you think that Horton, who is so much indebted to the bsnks already, snd who will get contracts snd borrow more, will vo e to compel the banks lo pay specie!

The I all hick ry p, Jo that ha I leene- rec:ed on the Saturday previous, still remained un si-aih'd and erect. The banner, with the names of Van Puren, Johns m, Porter and Hegins, waa gen tly floating in the breeze, near the summit of the towering pole. This proveJ to be but a calm ihit presaged the coming storm that was then brewing. A commotion of the elements of wsr was soon plainly viible in certain quarters. The staff, un der the immediate command of Gon. Honon, were summoned forthwith to a council of war. Severul peecheu were made on the occaaion. "Grim visa ged war has brushed up his wrinkled front," shouted ne of the orators. We ate in Ihe midst of a Re volution," said another. 'As the kit'en said when running after her own tail," resK)iided a bystander, 'BLrodless as yet," resumed the orator. 'Landlord lot us have something to drink," shouted another, The banner, iuaecma, had become obnoxious in the i yes i f those who had raised it, for re. sons t'.at we can only gui ss at. Was it ihe bad comp my, that C W. Hegins had got into, that incurred their lesent ment. Be this as it may, it was unanimously reaolvvd upon in councM that a detachment should be sent lo effect a dislodgement of the names of I'uji Buren, Johffton, Porter and Urging, from their high snil commanding position, if possible.

It was evident that the beseie4 jol.l . h.l I - .. im inai the tun were already dreadfully cut and mangled by tLe gallii g and almost incessant firing i f the enemy. In a short time after, the upper and ad vanced columns gave way, but tallied in their re treat by gradually entwining themselves for support around the elands dot old Hickory !

A short time after, at an unexpected moment, the gallant little band, comprising the names of Van Uuren, Johnson, Por ter and Hegins fell i-mid the shouts ol their enemus.

BI2WAKI2 OF I'AlaMJIOOl). The last Sunbury Gazette, filled with falsehoods, from top to bottom has been kept back from the people in town, and is not at this time sent aroun i yet, fearing that the editor of this paper might get hold of it, and expose its tabehoods. We, however got hold of a stray fjaper sent into the country yesterday. We will merely say, that there U not a man living in Sham tkin or Coal WH-hip that can be effected by the Nichols n claim. We huv.- not time to say more, but state that we can sniffy any one, that the whole paper from beginta to end is fale. There was no procession at the Van Buren meet. ing at Milton. Therefore the assertion of the Sun bury Gazette, in relation in Mr. Hegins isalsts Th Stats Cafitol Gazette waa opposed, by Mr. Hegins last winter in getting the public printing, on nccount of their opposition to Govern or Porter. This is the reason of theii publishing falsehoods aginst Mr. H. gins. They have been hired to do so, by Horton's promising to vote for them. Tnlon Canal. It is not true, thst Mr. Hegins is in f.vor of this work. When it was before the legislature at ihe last session, he did not vote for it, ss the journal shows, and the year before it passed without the yeas and nays being called. Mr. Hegins, as chair man of ihe Interniil Improvement Committee, re ported a bill without a single company work in it, and voted for that bill, and no other was parsed. Another Orient Ion. We are often asked, u who writes for Young mans' piH-r 1" A few speculating contractors in Norlhuinl erland, who want to get Horton to the Assrmbly, so that they may get a share with him in a few more fat j ls on the canal, What a glori ous tirno these fallows, who have lived these ten years by plunder, would have if Jese could have a chance lo vote them their p iy for their work. Jesse C. Horton Applied lo G iVernor Poller lo be appointed Ap praiser of Damages on the canal, but tho Governor, knowing the man, refused to appoint him. J.se wanted the Canal Commissioners to appoint him supervisor on the canal, but they knew the man, too, and refused to appoint him. Hence his oppo sition to Governor Porter, and this is the reason why t hone who sre oppose I to the Governor and his aornini.tration are supporting Hor'on. Jesse has hem constantly si king office snd has always been rej cted, and he wilt again be rejected by the people as incapable and unfit to re present them in the legislature. A Trick. Gen. Frick came down here on Saturday last to attend a whig meeting. He offered a resolution to take up C. W. Hegins on the whig ticket. This Ihe whigs voted dawn as Hegins was too much ol a Loro Foco.

Be sides they want Horton to help remove the county .est from this side of ihe liver. LAWYERS. Some of Horton's friends have endeavored to in jure the election of Charles W. Hegins, by calling him a lawyer. Such conduct is truly contemptible, snd virtually an insult to the understanding of the people. Let us ask, who was Patrick Henry, who shook the walls of the House of D. b gates in Vir ginia, with the thuuJei of his eloquence, in oppo sition to Briii-h tyrani y , several yeais b lore the dicliralion of independence, while some of h s more tim d, yet brave associutes, sunk with instinc tive fear, at the then supposed treason of this cham pion of liberty 1 The concluding words of his seech, ''Give me Liberty, or give me Death,'' will never be fo gotten ss long as fneilom bs a votary. Vet Patrick Henry was a lawyer. Who w.s Tho mas JeflVrs.n, that apostle of liberty, the suthor of our declaration of independence ! We answer, a lawyer.

Removal or the County Scat We a-k our readers to resd the following notice from the Milton ian It seems ihey are to bave a meeting at Milton on Saturday next, to devise neaus lo ri move ihe seat of Justice from Sunbury, or to cut off a pa to, our County and form a new one. It is said that Hoiton and some of his friends have rnteied into an agreement with the Bloomsburg peo, le lo help tin m to remote the seat of Justice from Danville, if me r candidate would go for removing it e County seat from Sun bury. Thiy therefore call upon the friends of llo'ton to be up and doing as Ihey can never have a better ch ince to eff ct th ir object than the pres. ei:t, if ihey only can suceed in getting Horton elec ted. We have seen several letters stati g that the friends of Hoiton were secretly si woik, and were trjing to keep the people on this side in the dsk.
