dressed the house as folio.-,s :
Gentlemen of the Borne of Re-present fives,
You will please to accept my m si .1 te-
ful acknowledgements for she honor which
by your suflfa;f> on th s o'rcasii n you have
conferred upon 111c. I am sen. bie ol my
own inability to perform toe important du-
ties you have ', 1 d t?> Assign me, in
the most desirable maim 1 ; bat relyingoa
your candor and readiness to afford me your
aid, I accept the trust And ba assured,
gentlemen, that it will be my as-iduuuo en-
deavor to discharge Lie duties ot rh< office
faithfully a >f his mira-
culous escape from death, and enjoy himself
at his'easfe, lau.'hing at others'while they
are fi.;h o.g lor his property.
Suppose a man's leg, or his arm, to have
bet 1 nee broken—doctors say. when reco-
vered t ey are stronger than ever. And
shall men be exempt fr m military duty,
merely because accident has made them a
j little Strongc > tlian nature mended? The
idea is ridiculous, unless real dectepitude has
been the consequence"'.
I have po notion ot a man being exempt
from military duty, merely because he may
have been troubled with "worms in his infan-
cy, or h ive shed nis hair in a spell of sick-
ness 20 years ago. But I think that men
generally, who ate both able and silling at a
moment' warning to turn out and lake a
seiire sVngle combat ith an antagonist, a
t'Hii for noiir; together in a ball-alley, or
peiform all kinds of hard iabor on a farm
or elsewhere 10 procure property, should be
made to tuin out 111 its defence >vhen emer-
gency calls.
Should these remarks be thought worthy
of publication, you will probably be troubled
with others of a similar naiure by your old
friend, GUSTAVUS.
The following lines, by a Volunteer of Pell's
Point, obtain an early insertion in the
GS_z ite, because we honour the patriotic
spirit of the times, and h*ld in high esti-
mation those sentiments which are con-
spicuous in the piece. Critic, be silent
as to the literary merits of such tilings as
have other and greater requisites. The
editor of a commercial daily paper is not
always at leisure to polish communicati-
ons.
