two of them chance TO be employed together.
they prsifc one another "to the very ech.."
They are, by the fame r6e, very great railers

loudly for the patriotic exrrtions of ts citizens
in the prompE adoption of fuoh meafures as

peace. Under fuch circumstances, it mutt be
pretumed that, with due encouragement, the
whole number of volunteers, contemplated

to tender their fcrvices to their eountry and
your Excellency will readily perceive the i'm
portance of zach body of men, at the actual
commencement OF war, whole term Of feryice
will afford ample time for rafting and organizing
