ADDRESS TO THE PUBLIC
In compliance with a resolutitm of a meet
ing of soldiers of the war 1812, the under
signed, a committee appointed for-the pur
pose, respectfully submit the following facts
for reflection, that •the public may rightly
understand, and appreciate the object of the
meeting of the, "old soldiers."
It is a settled principle of all well regula
ted national governments to reward their
faithful servants, and more especially do such
governments reward their soldiery, for on
them deknd the creation, stability, and in
dependence of the nation, let armies he
raised in whatever manner they may. The
great Extropean powers sustain their nation
ality by large standing armies, which is al
ways oppressive to the mass of the People,
and more particularly so to the laboring
class, on whom depends the support of it, a s
well as to fill its ranks, so that it makes but
little difference to the yomnanry of a,despotic
government, whether they-are in the 11111 V.
or toiling, from .day to day to support it;
hence, many thousands spin out a •servile
existeu e e in those countries from boyhood
up until they are no longer able to hear arms,
'at which tittle they are provided by their re.
spective governments. The service in this,
a republican government, to sustain its
tionality, it is quite different. The people
being much opposed to a large standing army,
it must necessarily be small in time of peace;
hence when war becomes necessary, armies
have to be promptly raised, either by enlist
ment, draft, or by voluntary offers, in either
case none but those in early manhood are
taken.• Thus it is, that many, very many, at
that age would, ur ought to he. preparing for
after years, step forward and become de
fenders of the country in the tented field,
sonic ti; die from disease 'Ll'ought on by so
sudden a change in life, some to die in the
battle field, others to be disabled for life by
wounds or disease brought on hr unusual_e N .
Rost' re, while _but few :retu_r_n_witheir.. hum es
ns «•ell as when they left them, and none
return better off than when they started.
It has, no doubt will he again, unkindly
said, that soldiers are hirelings, who are paid
f;n. their services. In one sense of the word
this may be true; but it is well known to all
who Itave had a lair experience in the army,
that from the pay they get none can lay up
for old age. Nor is this all; for no widow,
orphan, or other relative, can he paid for the
loss" of a husband, father, or other near rela-
tire, nor will the pay compensate any man
for spending the prone of his life in the
service of his country when it needs him,
and then when it don't need him to return
to his altered home, his health injured, or
his limbs roamed, and his estate ruined,
and he in a manner disqualified 'to com
mence, as it were, a new apprenticeship.
Again, the heroes of the revolution, (honor
be to their memory.) by their 4eil, suffering
and battles, gained our independence add
the soil we enjoy. Then to who but they did
the soil belong? None other; yet they were
not rewarded bygovernment as they should
have been. It is true, afte'r waiting long,
some were slightly provided for by pensions,
&c., while many, very many, went down to
their graves in poverty and wretchedness
misfortunes brought on no doubt, by being
so long in the service of their ungrateful
country. But what has been done for the
i ar- 1.
soldiers of t 6 w of 1812, who faithfully
sustained th e i at emdependence of the
country? Why, atte waiting nearly forty
years, Congress granted in 1851), to some 40,
to some 8.0, and to others 160 acres of land,
while it had millions of acres at its disposal,
and the treasury overflowing. To the lands
thus granted, few, if any could go, being de-1
prived by age and other causes, created by
the lapse of time, consequently have had to
sell this pittance for what they could get.
Nor was this distribution of land at all
equal,. or just, for those who enlisted under
the act of Congress of the 10th of December,
1814, besides N getting $124 bounty, actually
got three hundred and twenty acres of land.
and that too when peace was made in 1815,
no matter hew short a time they served, nor
is it altogether the time a man served for
.which he is rewarded—it is the sacrifice he
makes in promptly quitting.his business, his
home and his friends, to go into the army.
And why should a soldier of the war of 1812
wait" So long, and then, only get -40 acres,
while tho(fte of the Mexican war got 160 on
their return home? Nor has this distribution
of land been equal and just in other respects
—for the officers, the most responsible per.
sons, and they, who no doubt, sacrificed and
risked the most, have not received in any way
proportionate t.o their respdnlibilities and
losses. This was not the case iii grants of land
in the revolution ,nor at the making of peace
in 1763, at which latter period each officer
got five thousand acres, each 'captain three
thousand,' staff and 'subalterns two thousand
[Lens each, and the' United-States Congress
on the 16th of Sept. 1776, granted lands to
all officers according to their rank. So also;
did New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia; and
North Carolina, grant large quantities of
land to officers according to their respective
rank.

WED.NESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1854.
Again, officers who were disbanded is 1815
and in 1821, have received no more land
than those who were retained in service, not
withstanding those disbanded may have been
in service during the entire war, while some
of those retained may not have been in it a
month hetime peace was made in 1815. Will
any body say this was justice? We think:
not.
Further, it. will be seen by the act of' the
10th of December, 181.1, that enlisted men
got at the close of the war 320 acres of lantly
while their officer:4, who watched over them,
ministered to their wants, drilled them into
efficiency, hod them into le, al fought
at their head, received 13'10 Ihrtv. eighty 0r
one hundred and sixty attires, after waiting
nearly forty years! Such injustice we think
has no parallel. On this subject much more
can be said, in truth, and in justice, but v'
deem it unnecessat); at this time. We will
therefore close, by respectfully and earnestly
soliciting, all good and reflecting citizens to
aid us in making, application to Congress
for a grant of land, to at least equalize the
amount to' every non-commissioned officer,
musician and private. and a proportionate
grant, according to rank, to every emntnis ,
sioned officer who served the United States
in the army in 'the war of 1N 12. Anc we
respeetbilly recommend that meetings he

,order that we may, simultane

SAINPI, MYERS, President
Get. W. LEintial, See.
Maj.: omit :—A number of individuals
have associated in Pittsburg, for the purpose
of purchasing the necessaries of life at the
lowest possible rate, to be retailed out at cost
to the workmen, ite. of the factories. This is
apexcellent idea when provisions are at such
eOrbitant prices, and many families just able
to get along with the utmost economy.
We have been told there are many in our
town who are in want, but there are many
others who are straightened in their means
and say nothing ; now I propose to be one of
ten. or twenty who will contribute ten dollars
each, to purchase wood by the quantity, and
re-sell it by the half cord at half the first cost,
to such individuals and families as in sound
discretion require this aid.
If two hundred dollars was-raised, we could
sell in-this way more than one hundred and
sixty half cords at about sixty-two and a half
cents for each, and the hundred dollars thus,
raised, might be laid out in flour, and distri
buted gratuitously among the most necessi-
tons among us.
This plan would not interfere with the La
dies
,Ilen6olent Society, who could do their
appropriate work in assisting their beneficia
ries ; it is intended to assist many who do
not come within the scope of their labors,
but who ought not to suffer whatever may be
their condition, besides it would aid many
families in' reduced circumstances, who have
not sought, and would not accept charity as
usually bestowed.
If there are nineteen, or even nine others
in our town willing to give the ten dollars
each, we request they would send their names
to this (lee, and gentlemen who can be re
lied on will carry out the plan, or the contri
butors can meet and appoint persons for that
purpose. c J.
