Through the medium Of your pa

Men Of this town, the forming and diff
ciplining of new military company.
It is fhameful that military accomplish
ments fh0uld be 70 much neglected, ef-
pecially at this eventful period, when
the ftuation of our country loudly calls
for all to be in readiness. While the
Young men in every part of the u
Mon are formingthcmlelves into com

Portland will not be backward. Let this
hint fufice, and may your next paper
announce the formation of company
