IN consequence Of our time being almost
wholly occupied with the election campaign
We have hitherto neglected taking any no.

bas been met every where. 1t is bu, an act
pf Justice TO an old soldier, who has fought
aud bled in his counlry's. defence. He is
worthy of all the respect that has been paid
aim, without distinction of party. His
conduct while in the tended field, and his
political couise in the legislative halls OF
ne nation has been that of true patriot
and friend of his country. Ever foremost,
whether in The field, or in the councils in
defence Of the rights of the people, il is
but an acl Of justice that The hospilalities of
,he nation should be rendered him with an
