affections—that word creates a pause. We look
to our towns wantonly burnt—to the precious blood
that has purchased our independence— to that moun
tain of corpses mangled in the field, and emaciated
to death in prison-ships and dungeons We hear
the cries of innumerable widows and orphans.—We
reflect that great part of these miseries did not re
sult from the common laws of war. With such
fights in our view, with such founds in our ears,
there certainly must be some pause, between the
cessation of hostilities and the return of affections.
We have the pleasure to inform our readers that
the supreme executive council of this state yefter
day elected Major John Armstrong, jun. son of the
.brave old General Armstrong, to the office of Se
cretary. This young gentleman has served in the
American army during the course of the war; was
at the battles of Princeton, Trenton, and Sarato
ga, and has partaken of the service to the south
ward. We mention these circumstances that our
whig readers may rejoice with us, in finding gen
tlemen rewarded, by a grateful country, with ci
vil honours on the return of peace, who have brave
ly defended their country in the field, without
swerving from their duty.
