Communications TOR THE FREE TRESS. Revolutionary Pensions. Under the act of 1818, pensions "are only given to those serving on the Continental establishment he who served a term of nine months, gets as much as he who served the whole seven years war. Militia men, serving one, two, or three years, get nothing. Under the above law and its modifica tions, the following sums have been appropriated, as shewn by "official documents: The law of the 20th April, 1818, 15th Febr. 1819, 14th April, 1820, 3d March, 1821, 15th March, 1822, 3d March, 1823, 10th March, 1824, 21st Febr. 1825, 18th Janu. 182(3, 29th Janu. 1827, this state, who assisted to frame this instrument, and who was one of its earliest and ablest cotcmpo rancous expounders, and who, in the exercise of his Executive du ties, at a later day, was called on to construe its provisions, who savs, that he is erroneously thus to correct the misrepresentations'!

M Star observes: "By the present mode of elect- ing our Governors, the people oP this State are deprived of the pri- vilege of voting directly for Cov.f ernor, and that important trust U committed to the members of our ' Legislature. By this mode of election the candidates for that important office are not spoken of or nominated until the meeting of .t tllO I Will Al-ol A C! CO I n ! T IItIm,,!, takes place only a few days brJ fore the election. By this means" the people are not only deprived of the right of suffrage, but also of the right to instruct their repre sentatives in the choice of the chief magist rate of the state. Ami the public journals of our state, while they arc not backward U , vindicate the claims of their fa vorite candidates, to the highest office in the gift of the American people, seem entirely indifferent ' as to the election of a man to the : highest office in the gift of the f stale. And while the Press, which boasts itself of being the "Palladium of the people's rights,'' v is silent on this subject, it is im- r possible for the people to be ac- ' quaintcd with the claims and me rits of the several candidates for : that important office. While the , people are acknowledged to be I the source of all political power, it is of great importance that they should be able properly to esti mate the characters of-the several candidates for that office; and it is only through the medium of the prcssj that we can obtain the in formation necessary to enable ih to act a firm and decided part lit i that election. By the present ' mode of keeping every noinina- i tion secret until the meeting of the Legislature, the people, arc depri ved of the right to instruct their representatives in the choice of that important officer. It is an office of much importance to tho people of the state; as on the abi- 1 lity, zeal, activity and cnterprize of that officer depends much of the prosperity and happiness of ,' the state. It is hoped that the ' names of the several candidates i .1 s.-. ior mat otiicc, will be made known to the public, that the people mar exercise their right : of instructing their representatives, in the choieo ; of whom they will bavc to roiirn ; over them, "it is reported that ! Gen. James Iredell, of Edenton, i will be a candidate lor that office t -if the report be correct, it i hoped that his friends will make t! it known to the public." 1 Georgia. TlQ Honorable John Forsyth is elected Governor of the slate of Georgia, without op- posiuon.
