NEW YORK
On Wednesday the 30th oft., in the House of Assembly of this state, while the militia bill was under discussion a motion was made and advocated by Mr. Warner of New York, to tax the Quakers TEN dollars a year as an exemption from military duty.
M. Williams, of this place, zealously and ably opposed the motion. He said, the Quakers' aversion to military duty did not arise from an indifference to the interests of their country. They were among his warmest friends. But their principles forbade them, not only to bear arms, but even to sit on a jury, when the life of a fellow creature might be in question. He thought the presnet price of exemption (three dollars) was a suffiecient tax on the consciences of these people. A heavier burden would be the reankest persecution. We have just passed a clause (said Mr. Williams), subjecting a military delinquent to imprisonment where property enough to pay his fine cannot be found, and now shall we go further, and say, that a poor man, who has conscientious scruples on this head, shall be imprisoned for his principles? He hoped not.
The motion for ten dollars was lost. Five dollars was then proposed; but this being also sternously opposed, the committee rose.
During the pendency of the same bill, a motions was made for taxing the able bodied persons from 18 to 45 years of age, who are exempt from military duty by offices & c in the same manner that Quakers are taxed.
Mr. Van Rensselaer hoped that those who were such advocates for taxing the Quakers would agree to that motion. He could see no reason why those who were enjoying the honours and emoinments of civil offices, should be wholly exempt fro burdens required for the defence of the country. The motion was lost.
