Standing Army Plan.
We this week publish the plan, submitted to
Congress by Martin Van Buren, for the organiza
tion of a Standing Army of 200,000 men. We
hope our readers will give it that attentive perusal
which it merits. It is a subject of the deepest im
portance to every citizen of the United States,
groat and small; inasmuch as the proposed plan
threatens the subversion of that liberty which was
transmitted to us at such immense cost by our fa
thers.
It will be soon that this plan proposes to cut up
the United States into eight Grand Military Dis
tricts or Encampments; the first district to be
composed of the States of. Maine, New Hamp
shire and Vermont; the second district of the
States of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con
necticut; the third disteict of the State of New
York; the fourth diotrict of the States of Penn
sylvania and New Jersey, &c., &c.
When the United States shall have been divided
in districts as aforesaid, "each and every free able
bodied white male citizen of the rrspectivo States
resident therein, who is and shall be of the age of
twenty years and under that of Eirty-five years
(with the exceptions hereinafter stated) shall sev
erally and respectively be enrolled" into the ser
vice. Every citizen 'so enrolled and notified shall
within threo months thereafter provide himself
with a good musket; a sufficient bayonet & belt;
two spare flints; a knapsack.; a cartridge box, to
contain at bait twenty four cartridges, and each
cartridge to contain a ball and three buckshot."
If any person enrolled into this army shall fail
to obey the orders of the President of the United
States, he shall be fined, and forfeit such sum as
a court martial shall determine; and on failure of
the payment of the fine adjudged against him, "he
shall be imprisoned ono calendar month for every
five dollars of such fine." (See 28th section of
plan.) There Is no provision, securing the bene
fit of the insolvent law, to such as are unable to
pay their fines; they must go to jail and lie there
until the fine is paid, at the rate of thirty days im
prisonment for every five dollars which they aro
unable to pay. Nor do conscientious scruplCs
exempt any man from being enrolled; or from be.
ing fined, for a failure to equip himself and bear
arms.
M ANY.
When this force shall have been organized, the
President is authorized to cell out such numbers of
those enrolled, 'at such times and such places, in
their respective districts, not exceeding twice nor
more than days in the same year, as he may
deem proper;' and during such period they shall
be deemed in the service of the United States, end
be subject to such rules and regulations as the
President may think proper to adopt. (Bee 17th
section of plan.)
By this section it will be seen what an immense
power is conferred on the President; and to what
intolerable hardships the citizen may be subjected.
For instance, the President has the power, at such
lime he may deem necessary, to 'call forth and as
'amble such numbers' of the force so enrolled as he
pleases. In other words, Mr. Van Buren, on the
eve of the election, might order the citizens of Al
legheny, Somerset, Beaver and Itlexer counties,
to be marched to the easternmost part of the State
of New Jersey, to be there drilled for such a length
of time as he may think proper. He could thus
control the election in the State, by marching those
opposed to him into another State at the time of
the election. This is a dangerous power to give
to the President.
But there k another feature in this plan which
is worse if possible than an• which we have yet
referred to. By tits 20th section, the force so en.
rolled or any portion thereof, when employed in
tho service of the United litotes, shall be subject to
the same rules and articles of war as the troops
of the United States." What are the "articles of
War"! Those_which refer to this subject are as
follows:
4 Article 5. Any officer or soldier wha
shall use contemptuous or disrespectful
words against the President of the U. States
against the Vice Pres:dent thereof, against
the Congress or any of the U. States, in
which they may be quartered, if a commis
sioned ()incur, shall be cashiered or punish,
od, as a court martial shall direct, if a non
commissioned officer' or soldier he shall
suffet such e pist m ent I?,e . inflicted
FOR PRESIDENT,
on him by the sentence of a court martial.
"Art. 0. Any of f icer or soldier who shall
behave himself with contempt or disrespect
towards his commanding officer, shall be.
punished according to the nature of his of.
fence, by the judgment of a curt martini.
''AM. 7 Any officer or soldier who shall
begin, excite, cause, or j inn in any mutiny
or sedition, in any troop or company in the
service of the United States, or in any party,
post, detachment,or guard,shall suffer death,
or such other punishment. as by a court
martial shall be inflicted.
"Art. 8. Any officer, non-commissioned
officer or soldier, who, being present at any
mutiny or sedition does not use his utmost
endeavor to suppress the seine, or corning
to the knowledge ofany intended mutiny,
does not, without delay, give information
thereof to his commanding officer, shall be
punished by the sentence ofa court martial
with death, or otherwise, according to the
nature of the offence.
"Art. 9. Any officer or soldier who shall
strike his superior officer, or drawn or lift
up any weapon ar offer any violence against
him, being in the execution of his office, on
any pretence whatever, or shall disobey
any law! ia command of his superior officer,
shall SUFFER DEATII, or such punishment
as shall, according to the nature of his of
fence, be inflicted upon him by the sentence
ofn court martial."
Thus it will be seen, that for speaking disres
pectful words against the President of the United
States, the Viee President, &c. &c., the person so
offending "shall suffer such punishment as shall
be inflicted on him by the judgment of a Court
Martial." And by the 9th article, it is provided,
that if any soldier, on any pretence whatever 'shalt
disobey any lawful command of his superior offi
cer," ho shall SUFFER DEATIH!!'
Aro freeborn American citizens prepared for
this! And it must bo borne in mind that theforca
or army, to be enrolled under the provisions of this
plan, have not the choice of their own chief com
manding officer; he is to be appointed by the Pri
sident, and will have the selecting of the Court
Martial, to try the citizen who shall speak "disre
spectful words" of the President of the U. States.
Is it likely that the accused person will Yeccive
justice under such circumstances! God fuibid
that the day should ever come when an American
citizen shall bo compelled to suffer from the sen
tence of such a tribunal!
But it is said by some of the abandoned profli
gates who support the sinking fortunes of Martin
Van Buren, that he never recommended this plan.
He did do it, as we can prove, and will prove, to
any one who doubts it, end will call upon us for
such proof. But suppose he did not. His Some.
tary did: and he is still his Secretary; mid is ho
not answerable for the acts of his Secretary?
But it is Mull!) Van Buren's own measure. He
recommended this plan in the most cordial mina.
ner—on the 24th day of December last, the Prei.i.
dent of the United States transmitted his message
to Congress, accompanied by reports from all tho
cabinet officers and amongst them the report of
the Secretary of War for the organization of a
Standing Army of 200,000, the more detailed plan
of which we this day publish. The President's
message, and these reports are comprised irk a
single volume, containing about 600 or 700 pages.
On the 9th page of this volume will be found
Martin Van Buren's recommendation of this plan.
in tho following words, nasin;:y;
"The present condition ,of the defences
of our principal seaports and navy yards,
as represented by the accompanying report
of the Secretary of War, calls for the early
and serious attention of Congress; and as
connectieg itself intimately with this sub.
ject. I CANNOT RECOMMEND TOO
STRONGLY TO YOUR CONSIDERA
TION THE PLAN submitted by that offi
cer for the organization of the militia of
the United States."
This is called a plan for the "organization of
the militia." But a wolf is a wolf, though he
calls himself a sheep; and a Standing Army is a
Standing Army; though it may be called by an
other name. We care nothing about the name;
it is the power which this measure gives the Presi
dent over the lives, liberties and property of the
people, that we object to, and shall continue to
object to while we draw the breath of a freeman.
But we have gone further into detail already than
we had intended; and we shall not proceed to no
tice the disastrous effects which tho adoption of
this measure would produce on the morals of the
people, or jhe millions of expense with which It
would be attended.

perhaps four members of Congress. The federal

To show that we do not wish to deceive the
people (as our opponents are doing) we subjoin

unblushingly lying to keep up the spirits of their

they claim 6,700 majority in Berke, when they
know that the whole number of votes polled, was
4,033, and but one ticket run.
