Here's two more Constitutional delegates who favored a standing army:

Charles Pinckney: "There must also be a real military force. This alone can effectively answer the purpose. The United States have been making an experiment without it and we see the consequences in their rapid approaches to anarchy."

John Langdon: "The apprehension of the national force will have a salutary effect in preventing insurrections."
