To the Officers and Soldiers and the De-
scendants of the Officers and Soldiers Of
the Army of the Revolution.

II is suggested, wherever standard was raised,
a sword drawn, or gun fred in defence of liberty,
or one drop Of Revolutionary blood remains, that
you call meetings throughout the Union, and pass
resolutions binding yourselves, and urging your
children and friends TO bind themselves, to vote
for no man, whatever may be his political opinions,
in the Senate or House of Representatives Of the
United States, unless he pledge himself If elected
to do an act of ong-defered justice in voting the
halEpay for life solemny promised by Continental
Congress to keep together suffering, starving
army, on the brink Of ruin, by whose patience, per
severence, faith and valor the present generation
are indebted for free and independent govern
ment.
The old cry that the Government were too poor
to pay their honest debts can, with truth, exist no
longer; but now, with an overlooking treasury, the
ballot-box, and that alone, is your only hope and
last resort.
Friends and lovers of our glorious Revolution
and of our glorious Declaration of Independence
from British rule, be steadfast and firm like your
forefathersl When elections take place, be pre-
pared to make one grand rally, rush to the polls
and ballot-box, deposte your votes for men upon
whom you can rely to obtain for you your long
neglected rights. Do not consider yourselves hum
BILE petitioners servle beggars to body without
heart or soul, but consider yourselves as Americans
and freemen; that you have il in your power,
through the bailot-box of making yourselves heard
in tones of thunder throughout the halls of Con-

W- We publish, as in duty bound. the
statement Of Mr. George w. Cooper In relation
to the affair in Portsmouth, which has been
the subject Of former publication in our paper
The statement Of Mr.. Cooper docs not en-
tirsly correspond with that Of Mr.. Deylin, nor
with that Of our original correspondent but
the discrepancy between them presents no in
superable difficulty to a right understanding OF
the case.
We arc satisfied that Mr.. Cooper's complaint
against the Priesthood in Cincinnati, Of insult
ing his wife ut the confessional, is well found
cd, and it is apparent that sinister influences
produced the separation OF himself and wife in
Portsmouth.
But in view Of the fact that Mr.. Devlin was
t:legraphed from Cincinnati, simply to ascer-
tain the whereabouts Of Mrs. Cooper, in order
to relieve the anxiety of her parents there, and
in view of the further TACT, that Mr.. Devlin
did not know Mrs. Cooper, and never had
seen her, the circumstances are not sufficient,
in our Judgment to fix upon him, any sort Of
connection with the separation of Mr. Cooper
and wife, nor Of any actual interference on
his part with Mr.. Coopers rights as husband.
On the other hand Mr. Cooper might under
the circumstances, reasonably have suspected
designed interference, by Mr.. Devlin, with
his marital authority, and was therefore justi-
fled in requiring his departure from his dwell
ling. So then our original correspondent is
indicated from the suspicion of having de-
signedly done injustice to Mr.. Devlin

A DEcEspANr OF GENERAL OFFICER,

Who asks nothing for himself of Government.
1t is hoped that editors throughout the Union
loving justice and national integrity win give the
above one or more insertions in their Journals.
We copy the above from the National IN
telligencer of Monday, and add the expression
of our opinion, that it would be mere act Of
justice on the part of our government to fulfil
the obligations assumed by the Continental
Congress in ITS and 1880 to the officers Of
the American army. We doubt not that every
true, genuine american" representative in
either branch Of Congress, win speak and vote
in favor of justice to the officers of the Revo-
luton and their heirs. 1t is an American"
sentiment, purely and especially such, and
though we are not authorized to commit any
one to the support Of the measure indicated,
we are quite confident, that a Congress COM
posed of the american party" would do am
pie justice to the officers Of the American"
Revolution, or to their descendants.

American Triumphs.

Victory follows victory in rapid succession. Con-
necticut follows in the wake of New Hampshire.
The reemcn of that State, on Monday last although
not able to secure majority Of votes for their gu
bernatoril candidate over the Wing and Demo-
cratic candidates, elected the whole Congressional
delegation, and large majority of both houses of
the Legislature. This secures the election Of an
American Governor in May next, when the Legis-
lature assemblies.
Our success has been equally gratifying at the
West Cleveland, Columbus, and other towns in
Ohio have nobly sustained the principles Of the
American party. In Cincinnati the result Is doubt
full owing to the disgaceful conduct Of portion
Of the foreign population who, by force Of arms
prevented American citizens from coming to the
polls II by such means the foreign party has
triumphed in that city, Il win be thelast victory it
will ever obtain there. The American inhabitants
Of Cincinnati are not yet in minority, If the for
eign population Of that city does amount to CO, 900
souls. A day Of reckoning viii come and we have
no fears for the result. Americans viii keep COOL
and keep their powder dry, as their ancestors did
when they we're fighting the Hessians in the days
that tried mems souls. Then the Hessians were
compelled to bite tho dust and surrender at dis.
erection to the old continentals. They will sur
render again TO the young contnentals, in whom
the spirit Of their fathers yet lives.
