THE u. S. ARMS.
1t was some time ago asserted by the
columbian and the other Tory prints Of the
city, that the Arms of one entire regiment
had been condemned at Greenbush.' This
is fact-but it is nsiEuated at the same
time by these retailers of calumny,,' that to
this government is to be imputed the ineffi-
cient state of the public Armory. The truth
these arms are part-of the Hamburger
purchase which was made during the late
federal administration. The troops, howe
yer, were supplied with new muskets from
the United States dehot at Albany, where
they have large supply OF every munition
OF war. 1t is, therefore, false, that the u
nlted States were obliged to borrow from
New-York The wick etlnass and insolence
OF the insinuation must recoil on the authors
and propagators Of the bare faced falschood

cy Gov. Tompkins. In few DAYS they
will march to the frontiers, armed with love
OF country and sound hearts. They will
soon have an opportunity of Distinguishing
themselves in glorious cause, in avenging
their own wrongs, and in displaying the en-

should be. ". Y. Pa.5. .fdv.
