W A 'll DkPA. R TJt Ji N T,
/' t'b 'Ucv y. 10 7i. 1813
SIR,—Iii reply to the letter you did me. the
hi". to write to me, cfei the 5thinst. by direc-
tion i>' the committee on military affairs, I res-
pectfully submit the following opinions:
Is ; . Tha> an increased number of general of-
F.C’. r: is essential to the public service. The
number of regiments, prov ded for by law, is
two of iight dragoons, three of heavy artillet),
one of light, artillery, one of riflemen, and forty
five of infantry, making together fifty two re-
giments.
'1 he simplest organization is ever the best.
Hence it is that as a regiment consists of two
battalions, so a brigade should consist of two
regimen.s, anil a division oflwo brigades.
This sphere of command will be found in
practice sufficiently large. The management
■;f tv o thousand men in the fi< Id will be ample
duty for a brigadi r, and the direction of double
;hat number will give full occupation to a ma-
ior-general. To enlarge die sphere of command
jM either grade, would not be a mean of best
promoting die public good.
Taking -hese ideas as the basis of the rule,
imd taking for granted also, that our ranks are
flhed‘, the present establishment would require
twenty-five brigadiers, and twelve major gtner-
,is. iiut the latter admission requires qualifica-
tion, and Under existing circumstances, it may
be sufficient that the higher staff should con-
sis. ul eight major generals, and sixteen briga-
de. Vi.
The general argument, on this bead, might
be fortified by our own practice during the war
0f toe revolution, and by that of European na
tions at all times. Relieving, however, diat tins
•view -of the subject has been already taken by
U),- Adjutant General, in a late communication
v-i von. I forbear to do more than suggest it. \

Hon. David Jt. Williams,
Chairman of the C< vmittee on Military Affairs.
Mr. Williams explained the progress
ff this bill, £tc. He took occasion to
ndv i t to a declaration recently made in
deb.de by Mr. Quincy, that it was in-
elided to appoint a Lieut. General to
command the armies of the U. States,
t0 which Mr. W. said he was preclud
ed by illness from replying to at the
me. He now declared that no such
intention had ever existed in the minds
,,f administration ; that the late Secre-
i .vy of War (Mr. Eustis) had declared
■f , nini (Mr. W.) that he had endeavored
to impress on bis colleagues in office
;he necessity of appointing a somman-
per in chief; but that, to use the Se-
cretary *s o>vn words, he could not get
• e people in the white house [the Pre-
S U;ill’s house] to assent to it; that by
L-.e gentleman who temporarily suc-
ceeded Mr. E. in the War Office, he
cud been informed, that no sucl) thing
v us in contemplation, or would be sug-
, . • d in any manner to Congress. And
,' d ti,is Mr. \V. said he had heard long
love the declaration made by Mr.
.■.incy, and should then have stated,
. not sev>. re ano sudden indisposi-
• -.i prevented him from replying, as
he hacl intended, to that gentleman’s
pei ch
Mr Quincy expressed his gratifica
ion at this information ; observing that
had been by no means alone in the
nprrssions he had entertained on that
Abject, which prevailed pretty gene-
liy on both sides of the House.
After some further consideration—
The blanks in the bill were filled
vitli six major,-generals and six briga-
iier generals.
The committee then rose and report-
d the bill ; which was ordered to be
ngrossed and read a third time to
ay.

On motion of Mr. Bassett, the House
esolved itself into a committee of the
'hole, Mr. Nelson in the chair, on the
bill supplement u-y to the act for the
•■ncrease of the navy; and the bill was
discussed, aim tided and reported to the
House, where the amendments were
agreed to.
An amendment was also added, on
motion of Mr. Tallihadge, authorizing
the sale of such of the gun bo .ts as may
not be necessary to the public service.
Mr. Stow moved to strike out so
much of the bill as authorizes the pur-
chases of private vessels for equipment;
which was negatived.
And the bill was ordered to be en-
grossed for a third reading;

HORACE.
No remarks which are made in rela-
tion to the present war, seem so fraught
with shortsightedness as do thos1-
whicb attribute the reverses which
have ^happened to us, to the vengeance
of Heaven. There Are those who first
persuade themselves the war is unjust;
And with them such a conclusion seems
very safe; and every body knows it is
easy. If such gentlemen could be sa-
tisfied that the war is just, it is presu-
mable they would attribute such re-
verst.6 to some other causes; or if not,
they would at least say when adversity
happened—‘ This is not on account of
the injustice of the war* This would,
at least, h« v-orv swfo gromul.
The evils which grow out of such
doctrine as has been r ferred to, are
almost incalculable. Nothing can dis-
affect a religious man, to any cause,
sooner, than for him to be persuaded
it is unjust. This is certainly very ho-
norable )o his character. But seeing
the consequence so sure, it should be
made a mutter of conscience with reli-
gious men not to adopt any sentiment,
and especially one which involves great
and leading interests, either as they
may respect church or state, without
first examining the facts in relation to
it, with scrutiny.
I design this address principally for
the religious community—I say princi-
pally. There are others who know no-
thing of the influences of Christianity,
who are nevertheless as clamorous as
lapwings; and who, it should seem,
were tlie main interpreters of the holy
text: These also I would include in
the number: and to such I would in
the language of our holy Redeemer,
say—‘ First cast out the beam out of
thine own eye ; and then shalt thou see
clearly to cast the mote out of thy
brother’s eye.’
But the object of this address ? It
is to show—
First—That the present war against
Great Britain, is a just war. And
Secondly—That the reverses which
have happened, and which may happen,
are—no proofs, as some say, that ‘ God
is against us.’
First then, the justice of the war—
but what is justice ? It is a principle
that secures equal rights to all. This
war, then, is waged in behalf of a part
of this American family, who are forci-
bly ci< pi'ivecl of their rights ; among
which is personal liberty. The cause
of this deprivation is the natural opera-
tion of a principle set up by G. Britain,
erroneously Called—‘ The right ©i
search,’ and which no remonstrance on
our part has been sufficient to induce
her to abandon. Official documents
might be inserted here, proving that
no means have been left untried, from
the time of our beloved Washington,
to the present, of a remonstrative na-
ture, to obtain the emancipation of our
impressed seamen. But this is deem-
ed unnecessary, as they have been re-
ferred to, and incorporated with, seve-
ral of the late speeches, by gentlemen
in Congress; and which it is presumed
have been carefully ^examined by all
wild seek for true information on this
point. If appeals to the reason, the
common sense, the justice of the ene-
my, would have brought about the end
I intended by the war,then.would ithavs

been unjust to wage war; because the
pure doctrines of morality forbid it. It
would, in that case, be an unjustifiable
waste of blood and treasure. But upon
the other hand, it would he equally un-
mstifiable, finding those means to be
unavailing, to abandon justice, to be
triumphed overby injustice.
No calculation that refers to the num-
bers who may be unjustly dealt by,
should either relax or strengthen the
operation of this principle : it extends
to all. It will not therefore satisfy the
demands of justice, that the greater
portion enjoy the comforts of their pe-
culiar stations; and the lesser, with all
their sufferings and anguish, be disre-
garded, merely because those who suf
fer, are not as numerous, as those who
do not. Nor does it comport with jus-
tice, for any class of citizens to fancy
themselves entitled to peculiar privi-
leges, in regard to a nation’s care, a-
iiove what the rest have a right to
claim This would be rendering rights
unequal; and justice demands that e-
qual rights be extended to all. Where-
fore is .it then, that a certain descrip
tion of our brethren, honorable, and
entitled as they are to all clue attention,
should insist so strenuously .for their
rights of trade, as they phrase it, which
are known to be, as the world now is,
incompatible with exertions to rescue
from bondage their fellow men ? There
certainly can be no justice in this !
They have had their thirty years of pri-
vilege with but a few seasons ol inter-
ruption ; and is it so; that they mur-
mur against, and are dissatisfied with
administration, for adopting means for
the benefit and release ot its citizens,
(their brethren too) who have been im-
mured in all the horrors of an oppres-
sive bondage lor years ? And especial-
ly as tiiat system of procedure hud en-
tirely failed, which at the same time
that it demanded the restoration of the
oppressed, to their friends and liberty,
interfered not with their ordinary pur-
suits. If this course would have ac-
complished the liberation of these cap-
tives, it would have been hailed as a
blessing by all ; but because this was
not the case, is the administration to
be so unjust, as to regard entirely the
mercantile part of the community, and
their inti rests, and disregard totally
the personal rights of another class of
its citizens ? Justice is insulted at the
bare mention of it !
Some attempt to argue upon this
subject, and alledge ‘ that we, having
su jects of G Britain engaged in our
service, ought not to be so tenacious of
the rights of those whom she may op-
press.* It would be a poor requital to
the independent American, whose li-
berties are wrested from him, while in
the prosecution of a lawful trade, on
the gain of which depended his wife
and children for support. I say it would ^ 3

kidnapped him had come into his coun-
try voluntarily, with his wife and fami-
ly, and therefore he must be contented.
Just as satisfactory would it be to jus-
tice. Here one does voluntarily, what
the constitution of America, and the
law of nature intended he might do, if
he chose ; whilst the other is compel-
led to do, what the constitution of Ame-
rica and the law of nature forbid.
Strange indeed, that gentlemen should
like to balance accounts so unequal in
their amounts ! And more strange that
they should have no sympathies for the
sufferings of their brethren, though
the laws of humanity and of justice so
plainly require it 1
Justice is an attribute of Almighty
God—and it can never, in any state of
existence, be acceptable to him to see
it abandoned to injustice. For Ameri-
ca to yield up her citizens to slavery,
and to be the indifferent spectator of
their sufferings and their wrongs,would
be to yield, in effect, the sceptre of
righteousness into unrighteous hands,
whilst her rulers would cease to be the
“ ministers of justice.” Heaven would
frown upon sueh ministers—wrest the
sceptre from their hands and give it to
those who would exert themselves, for
the establishment of equal rights.
If then justice be * a principle that
extends equal rights to all ;* and if there
be any over whom the American go-
vernment have care, whose rights are
taken from them; and if peaceful
means have been used to restore them
to the possession of their rights, and if
these means have failed—Justice with
a voice of thunder, as from the throne
of God, demands, that we should war
with th,e unjust ‘ who refuse to let the
oppressed go free ’
It is in obedience to this justice then,
that the present war has been waged. It
has for its object the liberty of oppress-
ed man, whose emancipation has been
fruitlessly attempted by other and mil-
der means. It is against the power who
‘ refuses to let the oppressed go free.’
This power then must be assailed where
he is most vulnerable,—in doing which,
many will offer up their lives upon the
alt.ir of freedom ; many have already
done so ; but this is no proof of the in-
justice of the way. Tins brings me to
the second thing proposed—which is,
to show that the reverses which have
happened, and which may happen, are
no proof’s, as some say, that ‘ God is
against us.’ AMERICANUS.
