Revolutionary Soldiers.
IT is in contemplation to memorialize
the ensuing Congress in favor of such
Non-Commissioned Oflicersand Soluiers
of the Army of the Revolution, as en
listed for three years, served lo the close
of the war, and were honorably dischar
ged and who receive no pension.
With this view, it is deemed expedi
ent to ascertain their number. Will
some person in each of the United States
volunteer in this service, and Communi
cate the result as soon as practicable to
JAMES FAIRLEE, Esq. City Hall-New-York.
The parties interested are most likely
to be found in the humbler walks of life
Officers of the Revolution, and patri
otic citizens, will therefore do well to
circulate this notice: their patronage is
solicited.
To the good feeling and liberality of
the press towards them, the old Army
are much indebted, and by a gratuitous
insertion of ibis ir. their respective pa
pers, Editors will confer one more fa
vor (and it has much the appearance of
being the last,) on a meritorious, but
much injured remnant, of that army,
who are about to ask of their country,
not charity but justice.
NOTE: Claimants must be particu
lar to put down their whole time of ser
vice, whether in one or more cam
paigns, and their present places of rest
dence, and pay their postage.
Printers throughout the Union ar
requested to publish this notje.
