had almost chilled within u. and heard

them tell their stories, their trials and suf

ferings, in watching the movements of the

enemy; in. fording streams; in lying upon

the frozen ground all night, almost oestitute of covering except the canopy of heaven, and suffering for want of food to support nature; and in w ading through swamps and morasses, deep in mud and water, till their

limbs had become still with cold and raeumatic pains, and their souls had nearly taint

ed within them. We, with pleasure, make

the above extract, and we should love to hear, from the same source, a particular description of some of the battles and skirmishes mentioned in it. The pension act, in our opinion, docs not wholly accomplish its object. Its design should have bee?., not

so much to make a pecuniary reward lor services, as a grateful acknowledgement of

hem. Who then, in general, arc the most

worthy? are those who have, since the rev

olution,!))- their industry, economy, and sobriety, gained a comfortable substance lor

themselves and families, or those whose pov

erty placed them upon the pen-ion list? We think the unpleasant feelings of neglect

might be remedied by our government, by

giving to the tormer class, a medal, bearing inscriptions of the services rendered, as ex

pressive ot gratitude and remembrance, and to the latter, their pensions. It is the idea . of forget fulness and neglect, that troubles the w ar-worn veteran. But few are the soldiers now living, who have been in more important service than the writer of the above

extract, and what reward has he I the pleas

ure of telling to his children wnat he has

suffered. Long will he remembered the commander, for six successive years, of the

light infantry of the eighth Massachusetts

regiment, and may his country not be lor-

getful of his important services.

a substitute tor that mode ot election, wnicn

shall be equally fair and simple in its oper

is. I confess, the only one that has suggested itself, that seems to be calculated to remedy the evils of the present system, and to embrace the advantages which should be seen-

rd. if uossible. in the adoption oi a new one.

Let every state be entitled (as at present) to as many votes for President and Vice Provident as she may have Representatives

and Senators in Congress. Let the people

of each state (who, by the lawsot that state,

enjov the right ot suhrage) vole directly lor President and Vice President, at the voting

places of their respective counties. Eet it

counties shall have been received, to add

number of votes by the number oi Presiden

tial or Electoral votes to winch the state may

be entitled; and then to divide the whole

number which each candidate may have re
