Mr. Speaker,
The necessity of this measure is made only more plain by the late mutiny of the Pennsylvania militia, now subdued, and by the news newly had from the Northwest of Indian raids along our frontier. What I have said before, I will now say again: the security of the people is a duty of government more serious than any save the defense of their liberty, and this Assembly would indeed be no government at all, were it to refuse to defend the inhabitants of this country from aggressors internal or external.
I vote that the measure proposed by the gentleman from Charlottesville be passed without amendment, and advise all Whigs to follow so.
I yield my time to the chair.
